Each and every book that I read by Harloe Rae just instills in me how great of a writer she is, and Keeper was no exception. It’s an intense but cute and fun friends to lovers romance about a big, bad biker and his sweet girl.
Delaney and Decker’s story was filled with cute one-liners, flirty banter and a ton of sizzling hot chemistry. They were the perfect match for one another and watching them get together was simply a wonderful thing. Hearing about Sutton and Grady from the first book, Breaker was an added bonus.

This blow me away, definitely different than your typical second chance read. I couldn’t put it down.
OMG Decker Freakin Frederic Ladies!! This gorgeous bad boy with his road map of delicious tattoos, his irresistibly scruffy face and panty melting smirk. Holy Moly, I fell hard and fast for him as my new boy boyfriend, so Delaney “Dell” never had a chance.
Delaney Wallace is the red headed bombshell that had Decker ties up in knots all through his pre-teen and teenage years, not that he ever told him. He was a boy boy, a troublemaker, and she was… well a good girl through and through. She was sweet and perfect and conservative and he would never be worthy of the perfection that is Dell. So when she moves away at the end of junior year, he forgets her and goes on with his life. When a chance encounter years later brings him face to face with her again, but she doesn’t recall the history or anything about the past. She begs Decker to guide her and be her supportive friend she can cling to in her times of fear and uncertainty. When Delaney starts to have the feelings for Decker he only dreamed of back in school will he gratefully grab onto her a take the second chance life his given them, or will he keep her in the friend zone? Because Dell deserves better than someone like him she deserves a Keeper!
Delaney is in a rough spot. She has had a traumatic event happen and as a result, she isn’t the person she used to be. She doesn’t really know exactly who that is either. When Decker recognizes her, it literally is a lifeline to her past, a connection she longs for. What starts as a friendship quickly becomes more. She sees the amazing man that Decker is. He’s everything she wants. She doesn’t know if he feels the same , or if
He’s just not letting himself. With the help of some of her friends and some strategic planning, they try to test Decker to get him to see what’s in front of him. Of what he will lose if he doesn’t make his move. What will happen when Dell’s past comes back to haunt her just as she seems to be building a new life for the future?
This book had so much amazingness!! It had the sweet, and the tension, it had suspense, it was super hot y’all!! It was a slow burn but that tension between them was there from the start. I was laughing and crying and just OMG!! It was perfect! Decker is delicious! Decker and Dell! Gah! Him and his sexy tattoos, he was the perfect blend of bad boy and sweet and gentle with Delaney. Delaney was sweet and sassy with Deck and I loved how he made her stronger than she’d ever been. She had no problems telling him what she wanted and needed from him and I loved to see how he melted him her hands at times.
The secondary characters, Erik and Lacie were hilarious and I loved getting to see more from Sutton, Molly and their gorgeous guys.
Another fantastic read by Harloe Rae. Pick this book up today!
*I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book!
– I’m officially in LOVE. This book was everything, It had everything, the secrets, the unknown, suspense, angst,hot sex, heart, banter, violence,humor,and their sexual tension!! GAHHH!
– Holy Holy Biscuits and Gravy!! Decker and Delaney were just off the freakin charts white hot!! Dirty and Delicious! TOTALLY YUMMY!!
Cliffhanger Warning- No Cliffy- I couldn’t be happier with this ending!!
Trigger Warning- I will say this book has some content that deals with domestic violence. Something you don’t typically see in Harloe Rae’s books. It’s not overly graphic BUT It is very necessary for our Heroine to go through as it was an important part of her journey. If you have concerns you can PM for more information.
Keeper by Harloe Rae was a sweet, sexy and thought provoking small town romance. It had some deeply moving moments as well as some completely swoonworthy moments. Delaney and Decker’s story takes us through a journey of finding love and new beginnings!
Delaney has lost her memory. She has woken up in a hospital with a blank slate. And Decker is the person who first recognises her. Not only that, he agreed to help her to discover herself. She is the last complication Decker needs in his life as he has liked her forever but never thought himself to be good enough for sweet and innocent Delaney. He is the farthest thing from a man capable of committing. But this new Dell free from her family’s restriction and expectations is a fierce and lively soul. And she is also falling for this gorgeous man with a big heart behind the cocky and arrogant attitude. But the trauma that left her amnesiac is not over. Can they beat the demon?
I adore Delaney’s character. She is so courageous and resilient! Her whole memory wiped out but she built up a whole new and better life by sheer willpower. And the darkness from her past has not made her incapable of loving unconditionally. And that is exactly what Decker needed. He is the proverbial bad boy..biker, working in a bar, ladykiller, tattoed and having a carefree attitude. But he needed someone to ground him. And someone to make him want to be a better man. He is so dreamy! And the perfect combination of sexy, sinful, caring and charming .Their chemistry was beautiful. It had sweet and hot slow burn and when they came together, I felt incredibly happy inside. The only thing : the story dulled a bit in middle. And I expected a lot more angst and heartbreak in the story and a bit more struggle in Delaney’s life about her memory issues.
Harloe Rae has a way with her words while creating a heartfelt love story. Amazing characters. Intense emotions. Brilliant writing. A completely adorable love story.
Received ARC for honest review
This was my first book by Harloe Rae and it won’t be my last. I was fully in love with Decker. After terrible trauma, Decker finds Delaney sobbing in her hospital room unable to remember anyone from her past. Since she was friends with his sister Lacie, (and he has had a crush on her for forever) he offers to tell her things about herself and get her in touch with his sister to get her integrated back into the community. What he doesn’t account for is that she wants HIM to help her remember because she feels a connection to him immediately.
Decker isn’t one for relationships, but he has secretly, or not so secretly, pined for Delaney most of his life. She isn’t the proper girl she once was, now that she has lost her memory she is able to be who she was really meant to be and not who her mother groomed her to be.
I loved the lengths that Decker was willing to go to for Delaney. I knew pretty early on that he fell hard and fast, their connection couldn’t be denied.
4.5 Wisdom-Filled Stars!
Well written ~ thoroughly enjoyed. I Decker and Delaney. I was engulfed in their story, it’s slow-burn, the suspense, the supportive friends, the Wisdom of Worth. Decker was simply the best reformed bad boy ~ so protective, so loving, so patient. My heart went out to Delaney, she deserved happiness after what she has been through. I feel like we miss a whole piece of Delaney “before” but that is OK because this book was a about new beginnings and starting over and you get the feel that the past wasn’t so good anyway, but it does make sure wonder. I loved Erik’s comic relief in this one!
Shout out to the Words or Worth – I think these little points to ponder made this book that much MORE….
I swear… every book just keeps getting better. Harloe Rae hits it out of the ballpark with this one. Keeper keeps you on your toes, absolutely wanting to swoon with Decker and how he wants to take care of Delaney. Between their connection and their history, I adored how things played out between these two. How protective he is of her. How she is of him. I was blown away by the character build and the flow of this story. The concept was amazing as Rae puts her own twist on an amnesia style story. It keeps you on your toes, keeps you guessing. When things come to light for Delaney, my heart shattered as her past collides with what her present is now. But there was Decker. Holding her up. Being there for her. Their chemistry was beyond sizzling and has you fanning yourself!
Overall, I did not want this book to end. I needed to just live in the world that Rae has created. She makes you want to be a part of the story, fall in love with the characters she creates and so much more!!! Pick this one up!
This slow burn, second chance story was just perfect. I love everything about the plot and the detailed writing style that kept me turning the pages as fast as I could. The love of a man who thinks he’s not worth it was absolutely compelling. The drama is nail-biting and at one point my life had to stop, just so that I could read this captivating story.
Delaney is the epitome of strong; this woman has my respect. She has overcome so much and come out as a fantastic woman at the end of it. I have a huge lady crush on her.
Decker had my heart beating furiously with love for him. He really believes that he doesn’t deserve happiness; bless him, but he certainly does! He deserves all the good things in life and once he gives in to the feelings he is the best kind of beautiful, protective, devoted, dirty talking man who could easily be mine… if he wants. #swoon
This book ticked every box for me; love, slow burn, heat, drama and all the things in between. I have just one-clicked the previous book so I can get more feels. I think you should read this ASAP.
This was an extremely well written book that took me away from my everyday life for a few hours. It moved along at a great pace, has amazing characters that you will fall in love with and a story that will not let you down. This is a must read, no doubt about it.
This is a first for me this author and book and I definitely wasn’t disappointed, I enjoyed this book immensely and so will you. Keeper is an amazing read and the story line was of the charts amazing. The prologue absolutely hooks you in right from the off and you just need, need to see what happens next. I read this book late into the night it’s just that good guys.
Delaney ‘ Del’ is a young woman who has been through a hell of alot, she’s very lonely and vulnerable and I really feel for her. Delaney has amnesia and has no one at all. She has to learn everything again, everything from scratch. She learns how to be strong and finds her inner strength.
Decker is a sexy alpha male who works as a bar man, and who is there for her all the way through. He is so kind, caring and supportive, and he is real protective over her, he’s a real diamond.
Decker has known Delaney from when they were young and somehow bumps into her at the hospital by some miracle of fate and he’s all she knows.
They started of as trying to be friends but they both have a alot of chemistry between them and keeping the relationship platonic proves quite tough. They both have a second chance at love and there souls are connected. The suspense in this book will have you biting your nails.
This book will have you hooked, it will have you teary, smiling and hoping, it’s a really powerful book and emotional.
I loved the quotes at the beginning of chapters they were fabulous.
I always love books that have prologue and epilogue so we can see what happens next.
This book is very real and there is a very real struggle happening. This story is very realistic and true. It’s filled with alot of drama and love too, and there are twists and shockers that you won’t see coming. This book is very intense and very raw and emotional.
This book is a complete page turner and I just couldn’t put it down it keeps you gripped from the start, I just couldn’t put it down.
I absolutely loved this book and I cannot wait to read more from this author in the future.

This book is Now Live.
Keeper is a second chance romance with a very unique twist. This book is incredibly sweet, intensely romantic and poignant. It is so well written and it easily captures your attention from the prologue and doesn’t let go until the last page is read.
Harloe weaved so much depth into Decker and Delaney’s story. I felt the angst, the suspense, and the emotions that came along with the unknown.
This book just gripped me from page one. An absolute delight, original and refreshing. It is full of raw, beautiful moments with writing that flows effortlessly. It’s about life’s surprises and finding joy in every moment. A fantastic read from Harloe Rae.
This is my first time reading a story written by this author. I was astonished by this page turning 5 star story.
Delaney wakes up to a blank page, having hardly any recollection of her past life. Decker happens to pass by her hospital room and recognizes her. She holds on to him like he’s her lifeline. He always had a thing for her so he’s more then happy to help her.
I love to read stories that are unique and captivating. Keeper is all that and so much more. Once I started reading it, I was hooked and quite intrigued on how this story would flow. Beautifully written with a seamless plot. Great characters.
Standalone told in a dual POV with an HEA. I strongly recommend this story.

Keeper
By Harloe Rae
5 ++++ Stars
Oh my stars!! Absolute perfection!! Absolutely loved!! When I read the first word of the prologue, I was instantly sucked in!! It has all of the emotions! Love the characters chemistry and their hotness!
“You’re nothing more than worthless trash. I never should’ve picked you up.”
“No point delaying the inevitable.”
“Wisdom of Worth #4: Through the fog there is beauty to find.”
Keeper is the very best!! Very recommended.
For a relatively dark premise, Keeper is a light and sweet read. Our story starts with Delaney waking up with amnesia in the hospital in her home town. Decker, who had a crush on her in high school, just happens to walk by while visiting a relative and finds her.
Butterflies happen and Decker agrees to help Delaney find her way rediscovering her town and friends.
Decker is a perfect book boyfriend. Protective and sweet, respecting Delaney. And Delaney was strong; accepting her issues and working through them with grace and bravery.
With a little suspense thrown in, Keeper was a wonderful read. Harloe Rae keeps getting better and better.
I was granted an ARC for a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This book was amazing. It’s my first read by Harloe Rae and not my last. I was so intrigued that I struggled to put it down to do basic things, like sleep!
Delaney Wallace was found alone, beaten up and left for dead. After spending more than enough days in the hospital it is getting closer for her to vacate and go out in the world on her own. Having no other information, but what she was told are her name and age. Delaney wants some answers, answers most of the hospital staff can’t give out. Thankfully someone walks by and hears her. Little does she know she has a history with this certain someone.
“Follow your heart, Delaney. Your mind might have forgotten, but in here” – she taps her chest – “is a wealth of knowledge. Trust those instincts.”
Decker Fredric was walking the hospital ward heading to his mother’s room when he heard a girl whimpering. He walks in and finds Delaney. Given that he hasn’t seen her for 5 years he is amazed that she doesn’t remember him, but is grateful for the chance to show her around. Decker’s sister Lacie was best friends with Delaney before she moved away. May this be Decker’s second chance with the one girl who has owned any part of his heart or time to finally let her go and make her way?
“This is a fresh start, right? I’m done trying to revive my past. Is it interesting to hear stories of me before? Of course. But that girl is gone, and she’s not coming back. It’s time to move forward and make new memories.”
I was impressed with this book. The story was sad because Delaney was beaten up and left, but she truly had good people come into her life that helped her find her way. They also did their best to give her space when needed. I don’t know if I have read a story in a while where the mother was so cold-hearted and cutthroat. She didn’t care about her child. So Harloe more than exceeded on making me feel all those mixed emotions.
I loved Delaney, her unfilteredness was the cherry on top of her being so strong-willed. I loved it, she said whatever came to mind. Regardless of what it was. Decker sounds like he will need to be added to my book boyfriend must date list. His tattoos may be one thing, his alpha protectiveness is what I loved most about him. Seriously can someone find me candy in the charred lime flavor? Deck’s eyes not only sound delicious, but beautiful to look upon.
Rae’s best work yet! Sexy and swoony, Keeper is an all-encompassing romance you won’t want to see end.
