Keeping Kellan

Keeping Him, Book 2

De: Amy Aislin

Narrado por: Michael Franklin

Brant Harkrader is done living by other peoples’ rules. He may not know exactly what he wants out of life, but he’s perfectly happy letting that question figure itself out while starting a new job as a tour guide.

Too bad the one thing he does want—his sister’s BFF—only sees him as a little brother.

Or so he thinks…

Kellan Shelby-Briggs has never shied away from going after what he wants. And what he wants is the important contract that will put his brand new company on the map—and Brant.

Too bad Kellan’s career keeps yanking him away just as things heat up between them.

Now that Brant is back in town—up close and personal in Kell's living space—can they finally get the timing right to go after the love that has eluded them both for too long?

Great story

I really enjoyed reading this I found kellan and brant’s job pursuits interesting and was really happy with how quickly their relationship develop since it started as friends and there was a reasonable reason for them to hold off on starting a relationship that ended during the start of the book

Loved Brant and Kellan

This one of my favorite genres and Amy writes them well. Bra t and Kellan were so sweet together even when they were both pining. Michael Franklin did a wonderful job bringing the pages to life. I loved the book when I read it and am so happy I got to listen to it as well

Cute story

I enjoyed this second installement in the keeping him series. It was an easy book to listen to. The only thing I would have wished for was a better outcome on the side-story of Grant’s relationship between his mother and him and his step-father. Overall I would recommend it if you enjoy friends to boyfriend’s story !

Sweet story

This is a very sweet, low angst story. It's a great friends to lovers read. ( The angst comes from Brant's relationship with his mother and stepfather.) While I enjoyed the storyline, I felt that it truly needed a better narrator. There was very little emotion in the narrator's voice and it was boring at times. I hate to even say that because the story doesn't deserve it.

Love this series!

Another amazing book in this series! I was not expecting the time jump between Keeping Casey and Keeping Kellan but I really liked that we got to see Brant a little more grown up. There is about a five year gap between the end of the first book and the start of the second but it really does set up the story so well! And we finally get to meet the guy Brant has been in love with forever, the wonderfully sweet Kellan. While it was awful to see the kind of verbal abuse Brant had been subjected to over the years from his step-dad, I loved seeing Kellan stand up for Brant, something his own mother hadn't done. Brant also was able to help Kellan see that even though he had been burnt in the past by coworkers, he had to find someone he trusted to help him so he didn't burnout with his work. I loved getting to catch up with Ethan, Casey, Theo, and his boyfriend when they all came to visit Brant and Kellan! I hope we will see more of these guys in future books. One of my favorite parts of the book was the epilogue. I loved getting to see Brant and Kellan in the future and getting to see just how happy they are together! As with all of Amy Aislin's books, the writing is wonderful and the characters are amazing. The narration was truly wonderful and I loved that Michael Franklin narrated both books in this series. I would happily listen to this narrator again!

A sweet friends-to-lovers romance - by Shana W

This was a sweet, low-angst friends-to-lovers story with likeable characters and a loveable dog. I felt that Kellan and Brant were very three dimensional, with well described personalities, jobs and outside relationships. I particularly enjoyed Kellan's relationship with Brant's sister. The narrator had a pleasant voice and did a good job of differentiating between the characters' voices; unfortunately, his reading was a little wooden, though it did seem to flow a bit better as the story progressed. I enjoy Aislin's writing and look forward to reading more by her in the future.
I was given a complimentary audiobook for review.

LOVED

Will the timing ever be right for Kellan and Brant? Now that they are both finally in the same place we shall see!
I loved the chemistry and connection between these two. Having crushed on each other for years they are now finally acting on their attraction. An attraction that quickly turns into so much more.
This sweet, steamy friends to lovers/sister's best friend love story is just what the doctor ordered.
I loved every bit of it!
Michael Franklin does a wonderful job of bringing this story to life!

Fantastic!

I made the mistake of listening to this up just before bed! Who needs sleep anyway?!? Did not stop it until it was finished, and I smiled thru the whole story! Holy smokes, sooo freakin good! I loved Kellan and Brant!! Kellan was Brant’s older sister’s best friend and he’d been crushing on him for years. I loved how Kellan wanted to take care of and have Brant’s back. There was hardly any angst in the story, loved that! Brant had such a horrible back story, I hated his mother and step-father. But they had an amazing group of friends! We got to see how Casey and Ethan were progressing in their relationship! Michael Franklin did an exceptional narration!! His voices were each distinct. Well Done!! Overall, fantastic!!

Brant❤️ Kellan

This was a cute friends to lovers romance!!

Brant and Kellan were absolutely adorable.

This was just what I needed to listen today to lift my spirits.


A feel good, fluffy listen overall.

The narrator did an amazing job.

a sweet, low angst romance

Brant was a little hard for me to like at first but his sweetness when with Kellan made up for it. This was a sweet romance with low angst. The narration by Michael Franklin was well done and enjoyable.
