This book is amazing and very realistic
Amanda and Finn, probably would never had met in person if it weren’t for the need to save her daughter. We learn early on that Finn was the Sperm Donor from a planned pregnancy which should have been sealed, however, Amanda managed to find out and locate the sperm donor to help save the daughter’s illness. I love the southeast US area and this is where Finn has his restaurant when the city girl from Boston comes to meet him. They are instantly attracted AND frustratingly aggravated at the same time. Family members become involved and it becomes a wonderful HEA!
This was the second book in this family of books. It was just as good if not better than the first one that I read. Different sort of plot, but what a wonderful story. Couldn’t wait until I could get back to finish it.
Excellent character building in first half. Not so much in the second part.
I really enjoyed the book and ordered the next one.!Was a very good and kept my interest all the way through.
I liked it well enough that I bought the series.
Loved this book! I just really enjoyed the fact it was not a typical romance. Just read it, it’s a good book
Seems to follow today’s woman of not interested in a real life relationship and still desire for children. Life does get messy.
I really enjoyed this book always something new to keep my interest.
Really enjoyed this book! Interesting characters, good pacing and unique plot.
Such a wonderful story. Every time I read the name Chip it made me laugh….sweet and yet very serious story.
I was about ready to throw this book at times because of Amelia ,very frustrating woman but she redeemed herself in the end.
The book moved pretty quickly. Lots of surprises. I really liked the book.
Loved this Book!!!! Unique storyline! Read this Book you won’t be sorry!
Book two of the Hawkins brothers series. It would seem that Ms Gable prefers her h to be rather annoying. In book one, A Hero to Keep, Shannon was annoying. In A Family to Keep, Amelia becomes more than annoying. I’m sure her circumstances would make anyone jaded, but she takes it to another level. Finn, the H, is more than understanding. He isn’t a pushover, but he certainly excuses most of her behaviors. When he finally does stop taking it I cheered him on.
A Family to Keep stretches the believable with what Amelia is willing to do for her child, but not out of the realm of possibility or reality. I can see it happening. It probably happens more often than we know. The story reads well, flows smoothly, and held my interest throughout the entire book. The characters were engaging, especially the members of the Hawkins family. Jordan will steal your heart. Uncle Hayden is definitely a favorite, too.
This book presents that wonderful combination of strong, yet vulnerable characters. Extremely well-written.

Feel a sequel coming on
I really enjoyed this book. I liked how they were brought together and the decisions they made. This book i worth reading
Such a lovely moving story! The characters are all so real and relatable. The Hawkins family are plentiful with so much love to share. Amelia, who is so independent and skittish, finally learns that two are stronger than one.
