A sweet high school romance.
Love is not a game!
Quinn
A summer bash on the farm kicks off our official year as seniors. It’s my first time hosting a party, and it’s sure to be the talk of the school when we return in the fall. But a brawl is not what I had in mind for people to remember. To make matters worse, senior year erupts with a bang, and I mean literally. Pranks and mayhem break out, … worse, senior year erupts with a bang, and I mean literally. Pranks and mayhem break out, and the blame is pinned on me.
None of that matters when my life takes a turn I’m not expecting. Senior year is supposed to be fun and exciting, and mine is anything but, especially when I turn to Maiken for a shoulder to cry on and he’s not there.
I can’t worry about him. I have my own problems, and if I can’t crawl out from under them, I might lose everything important to me.
Maiken
My basketball season was toast last year due to my injury, and I vow to do everything in my power to have the perfect season. I can’t afford to screw up if I want scouts to notice me.
But I also want to let loose and enjoy my senior year. That means hanging with my girl, Quinn, and taking things to the next level in our relationship. Only her idea of having fun doesn’t match mine.
We’re on two different paths, going in opposite directions, especially when I learn that my mom has plans to ship my siblings and me to a private academy.
Now I have a decision to make, and if I make the wrong choice, then I could lose Quinn. Although if I stay, I’m not sure we’ll be dating anymore.

This is Quinn and Maiken’s senior year in high school.
Maiken and Quinn have grown and matured throughout this series . SB Alexander story is full of teenage angst, drama and a love that is steadfast and emotional. I thoroughly enjoyed the Maxwell famIly and how close they are.
Parker Douglass and Heather Downey are excellent narrators portraying all the emotions, love, angst and feelings of despair of each character . I really enjoyed listening to this story.

This is the fourth and last installment in the Maxwell Family Saga. Quinn and Maiken’s story continues where the third book left off. This is a sweet YA romance. The storyline is emotional, and filled with drama, and ups and downs. The supporting characters are great. I loved the family bonds in this Series. Heather Downey and Parker Douglass did a good job with the narration.
My Heart To Keep by S.B. Alexander is a sweet young adult romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Heather Downey and Parker Douglass. This is the forth and final book in the A Maxwell Family Saga series.
I absolutely love Susan’s books! She does an amazing job pulling you into the story. I loved the relationship between Quinn and Maiken. I really enjoyed that we got both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
Heather and Parker did an amazing job on the narration. Their voices were perfect for Quinn and Maiken. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the near future.
I would recommend this series to any one who loves coming of age, young adult, or sweet romances.

My Heart to Keep
A Maxwell Family Saga, Book 4
By: S.B. Alexander
Narrated by: Heather Downey, Parker Douglass
What a wonderful ending to the Maxwell Family Saga. We enter senior summer for Quinn and Maiken with a bang! And from there we have teenage drama, heartache, family crises, and a love that has endured. I have loved getting to know the Maxwell kids, and it brings back so many memories of how high school was. Tough decisions are made, and life will continue for Quinn and Maiken as they enter the next phase of their lives. It was a wild ride and was glad to take it with them.
Heather Downey and Parker Douglass finish out the narration of the series and I have loved their portrayal of the families. Each their own voice, young adult to adult, young teenager to mature new adult, the voices have grown and matured over the series and made it a wonderful listen.
Macon and Quinn
Last edition of this beautiful high school romance. This story takes a different turn on several different levels. New kid in school, new school for camp, senior pranks, another party, and a first love moment. There are some definite ups and downs, this is a great final book to the series. Narration was good as well.

Quinn & Maiken are so sweet together. Senior year has them at separate schools but their dedication to each other is heart warming:) They are there for each other and for their families. They have grown so much as individuals & as a couple:)
It was a pleasure to follow this young couple.
It was a journey with all ups and downs, trials, family problems and most definitely about their growing feelings for each other.
It’s not really easy if you put yourself in their steps. High school life is about making decisions what will mould the life .
This two made it with a flying colours !
I had to read all books together, wonderful series !
This is my volunteer review on this book and my reflections.
Maiken and Quinn’s story concludes with a HFN ending. These two go through so much, but their love keeps them strong. I loved this book and this series. There are a lot of other snippets of stories running concurrently in this book. I can’t wait to read them all.
I am not usually a big fan of young adult/new adult genre but S. B. Alexander’s books are the exception. This book is the continuing story of Quinn and Maiken, high school seniors and girlfriend and boyfriend. There are the usual mean girls and teenage angst but there are also lessons that must be learned regarding choices and consequences. The story is well written and the characters are fully developed. It can also be read as a stand-alone, although the reader would benefit by reading the previous books. My only disappointment is that birth control is addressed; however, safe sex (use of condoms) is not. Outside of that, My Heart to Keep is an entertaining read with a closed door, intimate scene.
Oh my god I loved this book. I didn’t want to see Maiken and Quinn’s story end. I liked watching Quinn step out of her comfort zone. Maiken, I loved him since the beginning. He’s got the world on his shoulders, LOVE HIM. I saw him grow the most and he finally learned to navigate life and his choices. Can’t wait to read what else Susan has up her sleeves with all these wonderful characters.
My Heart to Keep
By S.B. Alexander
Main Characters: Maiken and Olivia
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
5 out of 5 stars
Sadly this is the end of the series and Susan did not let us down. The Maxwell Family Saga Book 4 shows these two characters growing up and leaving high school. I would love to see an epilogue of the two of them in the distant future. I am hoping to see a story on Liam and Marcus in the future. I would recommend you read the whole series.
this book talks about Maiken and Quinn start of their senior year of high school and the changes that they go through
Such a sweet ending to Quinn and Maiken story. These two are growing up and trying to navigate there final year of high school together and trying to come out the other side even stronger. These two are young but so strong and so devoted to each other
I have enjoyed all four books in this series, but I must admit that this fourth book was truly my favorite. It starts with a party that escalates into action that never seems to stop until the end of the book. Quinn and Maiken spend their senior year in a way that they did not expect, but it causes them both to grow and deepen their love. New characters are introduced – specifically Noah and Trevor – who add to the drama and become people that we care about and hope to see in future books by Alexander.
I can’t believe that this series is over, and I hope that Maiken and Quinn show up in some of the future books featuring other Maxwell siblings. Maybe there could be a future series featuring these characters as they go through their college years. (hint, hint) Although it would be best to read this series in order, you could read My Heart to Keep as a standalone and still enjoy it. My favorite scene? When the pigs come to school…
My Heart to Keep is another outstandingly written book by S.B. Alexander! It is the fourth and final book about Maiken and Quinn. This book sees them in their final year of high school and leading to adulthood. Decisions to be made, long distance relationships, high school drama, and many “firsts” create a wonderful ending to this epic young romance. Can’t wait to see what’s next in the family saga.
My Heart to Keep was amazing. Another great book by S.B. Alexander. This is the fourth book in the Maxwell family saga. Quinn and Maiken test their relationship in this one. It is their Senior year of high school. This was filled with teenage drama and fun. This couple is amazing, they have great chemistry, fun and loving. The Thompson family is back with all the lovable animals! I can’t tell you how much I love these books. I loved everything and couldn’t put down! A great series and highly recommend!
Bittersweet. I loved all of Maiken and Quinn’s journey, but am sad this was the last book of theirs. So much happened, and once again S.B. Alexander kept my glued to the word on the page. I am not going to give away details, as not to ruin any thing in the story. Even the minor things. Their senior year was full of obstacles and issue they had to over come, but in the end I believe both grow into amazing characters. I can’t wait to see what is in store for the rest of Maiken’s siblings.
The storyline was beautifully written and the characters were so well created that as each and every page was turned Maiken and Quinn pulled me more and more into their story as it effortlessly unfolded!
Senior year of high school should be filled with friendship and looking toward the future. However when Maiken leaves town to attend another high school Quinn is left completing her senior year without her boyfriend. Will the separation cause huge problems for the young couple? Or will the time apart lead to big growth and a stronger connection? I have loved Maiken and Quinn since the first appeared in the series and as they have grown they have only gotten better and better. S.B. Alexander has a way of writing that the reader feels every emotion that the characters feel and they do not seem like characters in a book but actual people that you have invested in. Another fabulous addition to the series. I cannot wait to see which sibling will get to be the center of the next story.
