ARC Review of Keeping Her Warm by Alexa Riley

Keeping Her Warm by Alexa Riley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I absolutely totally completely loved this story!!! This had everything that you come to expect in an Alexa Riley story—insta-love, alpha male hotness, older man/younger woman, dirty steamy hot scenes, innocent sweet virgin and the best thing –HEA.
Catherine was left alone at 16 after her father disappeared on her and she didn’t have anyone to depend on. She had only herself so she made due. She was planning on graduating high school and getting out of the town and moving away since she is now 18 but her hope pretty much disappears. Its winter time and she finds the door to her home boarded and nailed shut. She has been barely surviving on things she can take without anyone noticing…but she knows her luck has just about run out. Cole is the sheriff and he is good man. He is recovering from injuries received in the military. He is a sexy, rugged man who has been celibate for some time. When Cole saves Catherine from the snowstorm, something about her instantly tells him she's it for him. He immediately takes her to his home and that really gets this story going. Cole and Catherine have this beautiful love story. There is an age difference yet it enhances the story and shows age is just a number. I loved how Cole went to work at showing Catherine how she really meant everything to him; how he cared for her and would be there for her no matter what. I felt so much for all Catherine had been thru. This story really hit the mark with me. I think if there was anything I would say as a minor sour note would be there was no resolution as to where Catherine’s father went to or where her mom ended up. That was left unfinished. Otherwise this was a solid home run winner read for me.
