The Keeper (Redemption Ridge Book Five) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 952 ratings

Sabotaged brakes didn’t kill Rueben Sanchez, but waiting for his assailants’ trial to start just might. A potential witness for the prosecution can’t explore his lusty feelings for the hunky sheriff who saved him, but that doesn’t stop his imagination from running wild. Rueben has already shaped his traumatic mountainside meet cute with Seth Burke into a happily ever after to tell their future grandkids. When the delay threatens to stretch on for years, Rueben feels his dreams slipping out of reach. Should he surrender gracefully or fight for his man?

Pressure and scrutiny are nothing new to Seth, but shouldering his duties has never felt like a burden until they keep him from the man he wants most. Cracking an unsolved murder, safeguarding a high-profile trial, and winning re-election should be enough to keep him busy. But he can’t stop thinking about the perfect weekend he shared with Rueben before everything careened off course. Are they as good together as Seth remembers, or is his memory swayed by the allure of the forbidden? And does he dare to find out?

Late-night phone calls and shared secrets lead to stolen kisses and a lakeside cabin rendezvous. But one encounter isn’t enough, and the two men will risk everything to explore their deepening bond. When a series of chilling events rock the county, Rueben and Seth must put more than their hearts on the line because one misstep could prove fatal.

The Keeper is book five in the Redemption Ridge series. Though each story features a different couple, reading the series in order is essential. The Keeper contains mature themes and is intended for adults.

    The Keeper by Aimee Nicole Walker is book number 5 in the Redemption Ridge series. I highly recommend reading this series in order for background information and context.

    Rueben has been at Redemption Ridge for years. He paid for his alleged crimes and is doing his part in making the world around him a better place. Rue has watched most of his friends fall in love on the ranch. He knows the only man for him is the Sheriff, Seth. One problem, there's a major case that could all fall apart if he and Seth get caught together before the trial. The case against Salvation Anew affects sonny people. They almost killed Rue and Keegan.

    Seth prides himself on serving and protecting his community. Being an openly queer Sheriff is hard enough, adding a convicted felon to his life could ruin his career. He's not so sure he cares anymore. But he does care about taking down the cult, Salvation Anew, and holding them accountable for their crimes. Events unfold that can jeopardize everything. They face many obstacles but are able to overcome them together.

    I love these men together. They have massive sexual chemistry but it's so much more than that. You can feel how much they genuinely care for one another. I love the relationships between all of the friends and how supportive they are of one another. The found family aspect of this series makes my heart melt and the world building is out of this world.

    This book was incredible and fit into this world seamlessly. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and cannot wait for book 6 with Keegan and Kerry.

    I am really enjoying this series about a found family that is each finding their HEA. Reuben has been determined to get his man and we start off right away knowing they have already connected.  Seth and Reuben spent a weekend together months ago and are struggling to stay away from each other due to the complications it would cause for an upcoming trial. I strongly recommend reading the series in order as there is an overarching plot throughout that rears its head again here. I adored Seth and Reuben together,  I loved the multiple sub plots involving a cold case and the overarching Salvation Anew plot, and I continue to just get warm fuzzies for all the family and friends in this wonderful series. I am thrilled there will be 2 more books and cannot wait for Keegan to get his HEA next!

    Oh, This is just thrilling. REDEMPTION RIDGE #5 is just absolutely FANTASTIC. AIMEE NICOLE WALKER has completely stolen my heart with this whole cast of characters. Seth the Straight Forward Sheriff has let his lust guide him. Rueben is determined to make the elusive Sheriff his. THIS is scorching HOT! Barreling through every obstacle in their path they race toward love. I couldn't put this book down. Get comfortable it's an AMAZING journey to happily ever after. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND THIS REDEMPTION RIDGE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!

    I thought this would be the last one in this series. I’m happy to get to stay with these characters awhile longer. I love the stories this author writes and have read most of them. I was happy to see Reuben and Seth finally get to connect with each other even though it was risky for them. I was truly sorry for Seth’s family when the killer was revealed of his cousin. Will be waiting for the next book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Such a Good Series
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 9, 2024
    This series has kept me hooked from the first book and this book brings to a close the underlying theme running through all the books of the insidious evil cult in the heart of the small town of Last Chance Creek, the ongoing prosecution and the disappearance of cult leaders.

    Whilst all this has been going on each book has given us a new couple and a new romance, with plenty of steam. Redemption Ridge is owned by Cash, a self made millionaire who was once on the wrong side of the law and jailed. Cash has a huge heart and opened Redemption Ridge Ranch to rehabilitate young offenders after their release. I love that they are all one big family who all have each other’s backs.

    This book returns to the chemistry sizzling between Seth, the town Sheriff, and Rueben from the ranch. After Rueben nearly died in the last book when someone from the cult cut his brake pipes, he spent a hot weekend with Seth hidden in his cabin in the woods. Because of the ongoing trial Seth and Rueben cannot be seen together. If they jeopardised the trial Ruben would be devastated for his best friend Keegan who was a victim of the cult and is still getting over his trauma, and Seth would likely be fired. But are they strong enough to fight the attraction?

    I love Aimee’s writing and this has been a real page turner of a series. She has given us so many likeable and interesting characters with real depth that have added to the series and although this was to be be last book in the series, I am so pleased that she has decided she is not ready to let these guys go and we are to get two more books! Keegan really deserves his HEA.

    Reviewed in Australia on July 11, 2024
    I’d been holding out a long time for this story. Rueben and Seth have had a lingering connection with one another for a long time and they finally faced their deep feelings for each other. Rue is such a sweet guy and is a huge part of The Redemption Ridge Guys and Seth was always in the background with his job being the Sheriff and always in demand. With an intriguing story thread running through every book. Another gorgeous short from Aimee N Walker.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 2, 2024
    Good ending to the series. I've loved how the suspense has built throughout, from the beginning to the end of the story. The story is a well written page-turner that had me hooked from the very beginning. The mystery and suspense elements are expertly woven together, creating a gripping story that just unfolds seamlessly. The pacing is spot-on, with just the right balance of twists and turns. I enjoyed Seth and Reuben together, the development of their relationship was so organic and sweet. The electricity between them positively sizzled. Recommended for anyone who loves a thrilling and well-crafted mystery! This is not a standalone, the books must be read in order.

    I'm so pleased that the author decided to add another couple of books to the series, can't wait to read about Kerry, Keegan, Sven and Dominic; also, it'll be nice to catch up with characters from the previous books.
