Hers to Keep (The Sideswiped Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 624 ratings

Can he let her go, or will he be hers to keep?

Friends don't let friends have boring birthdays. And Isabela's friends have gone above and beyond this year. While she's been focusing on her career and refusing every distraction, her besties planned an epic surprise.

Now, Isabella finds herself staring at the birthday present she never counted on. The one her well-meaning friends bought her at a charity auction. It’s a present she knows will only cause problems, but who can resist tall, dark, and handsome?

Grayson is a rising star in the financial world. Control, logic, and intellect dictate his every move. When he is recruited by a client as a bachelor in a charity auction, he assumes he will only have to spend one evening with an insipid rich woman.

He never counted on the sultry, driven beauty he’s been bought for by a mutual friend. He never acts on impulse, but he can't resist her. Can he loosen his carefully guarded control for a chance at true love?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Avery Samson grew up on a ranch outside of a small west Texas town. Since she could remember, she’s had her face stuck in a book. High School graduation found her leaving ranch life for the big city.

After living all over the state of Texas, she now finds herself back on one of the family ranches near Dallas with her husband surrounded by cattle. A lot of them. They’re everywhere! When not traveling or reading, she spends her time writing.

Avery would love for you to follow her. She’s everywhere (just like those damn cows.)

    What a wonderful book! I was hooked from page one on the main characters with the enthralling storyline about young Izzy who will be taking her nursing exam shortly and Grayson, and investment banker. It is filled withThey meet at a Charity Bachelor Auction that her dear friends talk her into attending, where he is the last bachelor up for bid. Unbeknownst to her, her friends have secretly bid on and won the handsome bachelor who is hell bent on avoiding a love connection, and staying single his whole life to avoid the disastrous life his parents subjected him to. While dear sweet, Izzy has lead a charming life with loving parents, and an adorable younger sister, Izzy has goals set for herself and plans to remain unattached so she can devote her career to work in order to help pay for her younger sister's college education since family funds are scarce since her dad's accident a few years ago has left him in wheelchair. The character development is stellar for Izzy and Grayson and their zany group of friends and family. It doesn't take long for Izzy to have Grayson letting the walls fall that he's built around himself as she cares for him like no other in his entire life, and he protects her and helps her with every difficulty she has to face. They encounter more than one surprise together with strength as Grayson learns he is nothing like his parents who left him to live in a boy's home more than 20 years ago. My only disappointment was reading the last page of this entertaining book with sweet and sexy romance and lots of heart.

    The book needs an editor. After the first several irritating chapters where the point of view switches to repeat scenes, the style changes to a more acceptable form. Then the author writes a good story, well paced with interesting characters. However, the reading pace is spoiled for anyone who thinks in standard English. There are so many grammar errors involving the use of a subject pronoun where an object pronoun belongs, it can't just be typos. There are also many times when the wrong form of a verb is used. An editor whould have corrected the grammar and nixed those repeated scenes, but also could have fixed the awkward wording. Three examples are, "I him feel tense...." "He can't the tear..." and "She follows shortly me..."
    The story would rate a four stars but with all the errors, it is a scant 3 stars.

    I found the characters really interesting and they made it an interesting story. My only complaint and something I find irritating are the spelling errors. The worst was when the word SITE was used instead of SIGHT.

    Wasn’t bad for a free book , I’d give it more than 3.5 stars but I thought the story felt a little rushed, I did love the characters and the writing style.
