Title: Keeping 6
Series: Rock Point Series #1
Author: Freya Barker
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: May 2, 2018
Bookstore owner Kerry Emerson finally seems to be back in control of her life. Her failure of a marriage firmly in her rearview mirror and her recent business expansion a success, she is in charge of her own future. One that is looking better than ever.
The sight of the tall man, with the familiar salt and pepper goatee pushing open the door of her store, sets her hair on end. He doesn’t exactly bring good memories.
FBI Special Agent in Charge, Damian Gomez, is just looking for a decent cup of coffee when he walks into the small store offering books and brew. The pretty, feisty woman behind the counter is an unexpected surprise. Not at all unpleasant, especially since her finger that used to hold a wedding ring is now bare.
Her wild hair, boho style and silvery grey eyes suddenly hold a lot of promise. But when his office is pulled into an international investigation into the trafficking of rare books and manuscripts, the straight-laced SAC realizes he has to keep his distance from the woman who might well be involved.
Easier said than done, since fate seems determined to throw them together.
Freya Barker loves writing about ordinary people with extraordinary stories.
Driven to make her books about 'real' people; with characters who are perhaps less than perfect, but just as deserving of romance, thrills and chills, and some hot, sizzling sex in their lives.
A recipient of the RomCon “Reader’s Choice” Award for best first book, “Slim To None”, and Finalist for the Kindle Book Award with “From Dust”, Freya has not slowed down.
She continues to add to her rapidly growing collection of published novels as she spins story after story with an endless supply of bruised and dented characters, vying for attention!

***** MY REVIEW *****
This book drew me in right from the beginning with Keeping 6. Kerry has her own bookstore/coffee shop. In walks Damian, a blast from her semi recent past. FBI Special Agent in Charge, Damian Gomez, is a man who was the officer on duty that rescued her when she was kidnapped. Damian never could forget her and can't seem to get her off his mind. Damian never acted on his feelings for Kerry at that time because she was married to a jerk so he just let his feelings subside and now here she is and the feelings pop up and are stronger than ever. Kerry is no longer married and seems to think Damian is a jerk himself. She tries to ignore Damien and the feelings he seems to draw out of her. Yet these two have this intense chemistry and the sparks these two have is really hot . I loved how they draw the sparks off one another. Damian and his office is pulled into an international investigation into trafficking of rare books and manuscripts. Now the straight-laced SAC realizes he has to keep his distance from Kerry who might well be involved. Kerry is this sassy, strong woman who is so law abiding that I couldn’t believe how Damian would believe she could be involved yet he was struggling to fight his feelings so he was trying to grasp at straws to stay away from her and his feelings. While Kerry finds herself the target of criminals and her life is in danger. At first she thought she was a random victim of crime in her new bookstore but soon, her life is in danger from criminals that are part of trafficking of rare books and they believe Kerry has something that belongs to them. Will Kerry and Damian realize that her being in danger and his crimes are linked? Will he be able to save her life ? And will they end have getting the HEA that was denied them several years before? Trust me this is one awesome read , full of danger, intrigue, suspense, passion, sparks and mystery. I couldn’t put this read down and hope there is more in this new series coming soon!!!
