Great way to start the New Year!!
I loved Callan and Denver’s story. Definitely original!! They are so different but it works. Her story was heart breaking. I loved both of these characters! Callan is over the top alpha! Loved him. There chemistry is over the top and this book is well written as per expected with these 2 authors!! Great read-Absolutely loved!
Thank you for your review.
These two authors are amazing and truly talented, everything they write is pure gold. They never disappoint their readers and I love that about them, Callan knew Denver was trouble the minute he met her but she’s the good kind of trouble even if he fought his feelings for a while. It didn’t last long before he was saying “Mine” and Denver telling Jim to take a leap, they’re so adorable you can’t help but root for them,.
Keeping Denver is definitely a feel good romance. About a girl down on her luck, to pulling herself up and getting her life back together. An alpha male trying to take over, who doesn’t love alpha males! A must read that is quick and will keep your attention!
I totally had several awwwwww moments while reading and start led my daughter voicing it! #SorryNotSorry I loved their story, their strength and intensity. I want more though! Girls, can Spencer get his own story? #SpencerNeedsLoveToo
Denver Hollis caught a break when she was hired as assistant to Callan Hawk, being homeless was hard enough but wondering when she would be able to get back on her feet again was daunting. Denver is willing to put in the hard work and even with Callan snapping at her all the time, she is going to prove she deserves the job.
Callan doesn’t know what to think of Denver, on one hand she scares the crap out of him with the feelings that are arising within and the other he is grumpy when he is in her presence. When he realizes that Denver has been keeping secrets he realizes now is the time to let Denver know he intends to keep her but someone in the office is not happy that Denver is there and will do everything in their power to ruin it.
This was a surprise, really enjoyed this one. Callan is a jerk pretty much midway through but you get why when you get into his back story. I liked Denver a lot, she is a quiet fighter and yet when she gets her hackles up when Callan is particularly cranky. Terrific.
I loved this book so hard! This book starts out with Denver being homeless and living in shelters and on the street. Denver was in the foster care system most of her life. No matter what happens she just keeps moving forwards with her life. She is trying so hard to get back on her feet and make it on her own. She finally gets a break and finds a job. The older lady at her new job Francis has a soft spot for Denver and helps her out with the job, even though her new boss seems like a grade A douche bag. Callan her boss has a hard time letting his walls down, especially in a relationship. Callan messes up and before you know it, it may be to late for him to save his relationship with Denver. This story has the right amount of drama, angst, and steamy scenes. This book was so amazing!
This book took me by total surprise. Sandy and crytal totally nailed this story. I cant wait to read more.
Amazing book Checked all my boxes can’t wait for more Hoping they make a series
Keeping Denver is a heartwarming and very well written romance story by Sandy Alvarez & Crystal Daniels. These two authors never disappoint me, loved all their books so far, but with Keeping Denver they hit it out of the ball park or in this case out of the office! This is Denver Hollis & Callan Hawk story. The plot was alluring, emotional and sexy with drama, secrets, betrayal, faithfulness, hope and love. Loved the second characters like Frances & Richard and their importance through the story. Hope that Spencer gets in a near future his story too. I loved this book and would highly recommend it to any fans of great office romances.
This book was different than what I’m used to from Crystal and Sandy but it was definitely worth the read. I absolutely fell in love with Denver and my heart ached for her. She just couldn’t get things to go right for herself and it was heartbreaking. Callan started out as your typical all business douche but turned out to be the loving man that Denver deserved in her life. This book was a cute, quick read that I will definitely be reading again! And Spencer totally deserves a book! He was definitely a very love able character.
Damsel in Distress I love a sweet romance like Denver and Callan. Denver had a rough life but she was a tough cookie. Keeping Denver was easily captured my heart. The story was filled with great characters and I love Miss Francesca. So sweet and heart warming love story
WHAT AN EMOTIONAL STORY – I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS FROM THESE AUTHORS! With this being the first story from these authors that isn’t surrounded by the MC that I’ve read, I was really interested to see what kind of story and plot they brought to the table and I was absolutely not disappointed! My heart bled for Denver and the situation she was in as well as the life she led. This storyline was definitely surrounded by the concept that things happen for a reason when they need to be, especially in Denver’s case. I also love that even though this story is very heavy in insta-love, at one point Denver takes a step back and makes more realistic decisions. Finally getting the chance she needed, Denver starts a new job and immediately finds herself having major chemistry with her boss Callan, but determined to keep things professional. As they fight their attraction and push each other’s limits, a deadly situation brings them together and starts their relationship. Once they hit their stride and start to grow and break down each others walls, a different situation arises that threatens their relationship and much more, and the question remains if they will make it back together. I absolutely loved this book and this storyline and was in tears so much of the time. I can’t wait to see what these authors bring to the table next!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Loved this book once I started reading it I found it hard to put down. Denver’s life has been something unfathomable to me. How she has kept her head about her given the situation blows my mind. I would absolutely love to see a 2nd book that sees us learning more about her mother and why she did what she did.
Callan is such a large presence in any room or situation he finds himself in that it is easy to see why Denver appealed to him at that first moment she said “Hi”. She is the total opposite to him and that is exactly what this gruff man needs.
Sandy and Crystal have done it again! While this story is different than what I’m used to from them, it was a glorious story and I fell in love with Denver right away! She has been through so much, but hasn’t let her situation get the best of her. Denver’s attitude, behavior, and determination is outstanding, and the attraction between her and Callan is noticed from the moment she walked into his office. While I hate there isn’t more to the story, I loved what they’ve done with these characters and hope to see more of Callan and Denver.
This was different than what I have read from these two. But it was an amazing book from beginning to end. I could help but fall in love with the Denver. You cant help but feel for this girl. She is homeless with noone just wanting to make something of herself. One of her friends that she meets at the local library where she goes to try to find a job recommends her for a job at a lawyers office as an assistant. She goes and meets Francis and is immediately hired for the job. But once she meets her boss Callan she begins to regret the decision of taking on the job. But she fights to keep the job so that she can get her own place and get her life back. Her and Callan do not hit it off. But once Callan realizes what is going on with her things start to change. But what will happen when someone from the office sets her up to be a thief? Will Callan stay by her stand? For being something different from these two writers I absolutely love this one. It was heart wrenching, loving, touching, scary at times and had you feeling. I enjoyed every page turning moment in this one. I am hoping for more like this from these two. Highly recommend one clicking.
I have loved Sandy Alvarez and Crystal Daniels’ work from the beginning. Not only did they write MC but they can create the sweetest, most caring alphas around. Sometimes, writers of romance seem to focus the most energy in creating their male main character, making the reader fall in love with him. What really stands out about this sister duo is that they create unique and compelling female main characters. You can’t help but love them as much as the men. Now they have switched it up and written an office romance with an alpha-hole boss. I didn’t even need to know more than that, I knew I had to read it. I’m going to date myself with this comparison but it was what came to me as I read it. I devoured category romances when I was a preteen and still have my favorites on my keeper shelf. Keeping Denver reminded me of those but with way more heat. A jerk boss with a sweet, strong personal assistant who has a secret that could destroy everything that is building between them. Denver has had it rough but she doesn’t use it as an excuse to give up or to play the blame game. She has kept fighting and trying and hasn’t allowed it to harden her. Callan is such a jerk to her and is abrupt and cool with everyone else. Working as his assistant is a challenge but she is determined to succeed. This story was everything, I didn’t want it to end. I hope we see more of this trope from these ladies, cause they ROCKED it!
This book was phenomenal, I felt an instant connection with both Denver & Callan.
I felt everything Denver was going through, all her emotions, her story was heartbreaking, but I knew she would come out stronger in the end, she was a fantastic heroine. And Callan, a definitely hot, sexy, alpha, who just knew how to push her buttons & get what he wants & he wants Denver, but will Denver fall for him?! It was great seeing how Callan was with Denver, he was so gentle & sexy, but could definitely become that alpha when needed. There was one part where you just wanted to say, “really Callan”?! You’ll find out, but he was able to redeem himself.
And that ending….no words…THE VERY BEST!!
Keep up the good work ladies!
Always waiting & looking forward to what you gals come up with next. Hopefully Spencer!!
As usual this sister writing duo has done it again. They have stepped away from the MC world and have built a new world that are definitely going to fall in love with.
Can you say SWOONWORTHY!!! That is exactly what you get with this book.
Denver is a beautiful young woman who knows how to take the lemon of her life and turn it into lemonade. With all that she has been through she, she knows how to turn everything around and sees the positive. She has never really had anyone so when her all too handsome boss steps up she doesn’t know how to take him. The first time Callan lays eyes on his new assistant he doesn’t know what has hit him. Her beauty along with her sweet demeanor opens his eyes to just what he wants. Their office romance is one for the ages with the way he shows Denver how it feels to be wanted. He is sweet, attentive, and lets not forget a swoon worthy alpha an who will do anything and everything for her.
Of course their are some jealous tarts who attempt to throw a wrench into their happiness. Lets just say Callan has a lot to atone for to make sure he gets the girl of his dreams.
If your reading this then you are like me, a review reader. I like to read a good blurb, then check out the reviews. I honestly love these two ladies mad writing skills. I happen to be a big fan. I was pleasantly surprised by this book, Keeping Denver. I mean if your a fan of Crystal Daniels and Sandy Alvarez you know and love the KOR. Keeping Denver is a step away from that, an office romance. Sweet homeless Denver and successful alpha Callan. This book gives us a little drama, and a sweet romance. I loved it! Great job ladies!
What can I say about this book that probably hasn’t been said. Not much each page turn of this book kept me captivated from beginning to end. Denver is a girl who’s only looking to find her place in the world, but somehow roadblocks just keeps getting in her way. Callan is a man with his own barriers that he refuses to let go of so he’s not hurt again. These two together are exquisite but of course with something this good there will be people not wanting them to be happy. Will they come together, one can hope. Will Spencer get a HEA, one is wishfully hoping! You know you want to know so check this dynamite book out. Trust me it’s that good!!!!!
