It was really nice seeing these guys again and I really enjoyed the story. The only thing I didn’t like was that there was too much sex for me. The sex kind of interfered with the pacing of the story for me, I know most readers like sex in their stories but I just wanted to skip the sex and continue with the numerous other things going on.

I really loved the twins they were so cute and funny. I normally don’t care for kids too much, if they’re there ok they’re there no big deal but th More...

Have you ever wondered what happens when a love story ends? I certainly have. When you close a book, don't you wish to peek into the future and see if they really live happily after? Yes, they love each other and are together, but their success isn't automatically guaranteed. Good relationships don't just happen; they require a great deal of hard work and willingness to compromise. Daniel and Ryan, in 'To Find and To Keep' by Serena Yates, are standing at the door of their happily ever after, ye More...

This story picks up where To Have and to Keep leaves off. Daniel and Ryan have reunited and started to build a life. Their happiness is threatened by a number of factors. I'm not going to say anything more because I don't want to spoil the story, but this was an enjoyable read that I couldn't put down. The characters were full and rich with great supporting characters that added richness and depth. I expecially loved the twins.

I enjoyed Keeping You #1 and this follow up doesn't d More...

I really enjoyed watching the relationship between Ryan and Daniel develop fully. Ryan is a sweetheart, Daniel as well. I liked the flow of the story and the development of the characters and the relationship dynamics of all the characters in the book. I look forward to reading more of this series.

Loved this book – Great sequel to ‘To Find & to Keep’
Winterjade’s review said it more eloquently then I can.
Except for: If like me you had missy eyes during the first book, get the tissues ready.
The acceptance of Ryan by Daniel’s parents was just one instance that had me reaching for them.

I loved the first book, and the second did not disappoint. While it would be easy to criticise the stories for being a little too sweet and for the evil parents being a bit over the top, there is something truly engaging about Ryan and Daniel's romance. I look

Before I really start the review, I just want to say that I've read a few of Serena's books and I've really enjoyed some of them. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of those. I didn't really care for the first book in this series and I'm afraid I liked this one even less. The dialogue didn't feel genuine to me. The words didn't seems natural and I had a really hard time imagining Ryan and Daniel saying all those things to each other. The conflict felt a bit contrived and the overall unrealistic More...

At least ten times better written and more well-developed than its prequel, To Find and to Keep. But still not crazy about it. Too predictable, too contrived...just not very realistic overall.

Enjoyed this one as much as the first book in the series. I plan to add Serena Yates to my autobuy list.

I loved this book. It picks up with the story started in To Find and to Keep, as a matter of fact it starts the next morning. Ryan and Daniel have several issues to confront and overcome. I followed their struggles as individuals and a couple with much interest. Other than the marathon sex sessions, I found them to be very believable characters. The secondary characters added depth to the story and I'm curious about the stories surrounded several of them. More...

I think this will be my first official gay romance novel.

Ah man - I knew I should have run over Ryan's parents with my truck in the first book. They are truly evil people. Ryan stole my heart in this just like in the first one - I love his compassion and emotion. Daniel's not so bad himself - yeah, I fell for him, too. I really enjoy the two of them together and the twin sister, Nicole, is a great secondary character, I'm glad the boys have her. And of course, the twins are freaking adorable. AND the ending... *wipes tear*. Great follow-up read More...

Just like in "To Find and to Keep", Ryan and Daniel stole my heart. I love the way Ryan finally came into his own, and they finally get their HEA.

If you loved the first, you'll love the second.

Less sex scenes and this story would have been mint. Other than that I liked it.

I read this a while ago. So relying on my terrible memory. I have been lax in my reviews here. Sorry. I do remember the strong story line, and really, that's all that matters IMHO. Strong story=good book no matter the genre.

I will re-read the 'to keep' series on my holidays, I think. Serena is one of those authors who writes from the soul. A good place to fire a passion in the reader.
