When my older brother tells me that his plan to save our family charity involves marrying the daughter of a potential billionaire investor, I assure him it will be a disaster. Nikolette Ives is a rich, spoiled socialite who only wants the prestige that comes with the Hartwell name. My brother says his mind is made up, but I won’t let him make the biggest mistake of his life. He’ll kill me if he … me if he knows, but plans are in motion to make sure the engagement never happens. Besides, when has playing cupid ever gone wrong?
Keith Hartwell sets up his brother with a gorgeous, young and curvy schoolteacher, Veronica Cheshire, the perfect innocent woman to convince his brother to drop his marriage plans. However, the setup backfires in ways Keith can never imagine.
Don’t miss KEITH, the first book in M. S. Parker’s hot, new billionaire romance series, The Hartwell Brothers.

Until next time… Happy Reading!
Keith is a fashion photographer who comes from an old-money family.
Veronica is a teacher but, in the summer, she needs another job to pay for her loans.
I have dual feelings about Keith: at the beginning of the book I loved him. He would do anything to protect his brother against a marriage that will make him miserable for the rest of his life. However, later, he behaves like a complete idiot not been able to see what is right in front of him.
The book is well written and the characters well-developed in general. A bit slow at the beginning but not too much.
This is the first book I read by M. S. Parker, but it won’t be the last.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Keith does not want his older brother marry someone he does not love and he would regret. The attraction, the lust, passion, hurt, betrayal and disappointment.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

Keith is the first brother in the Hartwell Brothers series. In an attempt to stop his older brother Matt, from entering into an arranged marriage for financial aid, Keith pushes Veronica at Matt. But this backfired on him badly, when he realises his feelings and starts to impact those relationships
Keen to read Matt’s story next
Terrific!!
This is book 1 in the Hartwell Brothers series. This is Keith and Veronica’s story and I liked it. I can’t wait for Matt’s story.

Keith is a very successful photographEr and comes from a family of old money. Veronica is a school teacher but works in the summer for a catering service to help her parents and her younger siblings. She is a kind hearted woman who is always thinking of others. Keith first sees Veronica at a fundraiser she is working and he is intrigued by her. When Keith’s brother, Matt, tells him he is marrying Nicollete ( a spoiled rotten rich brat) because her father will help their foundation financially, Keith comes up with a plan to save his brother from a life of misery. When Nicollete tries to get Veronica fired from her job after she caused an incident, Veronica quits and Keith decides to hire her as a model. He tries to push Veronica and Matt together and at times is a real jerk! I had a love/hate feeling for him. He kept denying that he had real feelings for her All in all I did enjoy the book but think there are some unresolved issues that may come to light in the next book. Good storyline and entertaining secondary characters too.

Will he be to late to realize his feelings
Keith, book one in the new The Hartwell Brothers series, is the second book I have read by M. S. Parker. As I had not liked the first book I read by her but I liked her writing style I was really hoping to like this book. Plus the book description looked like it could be super fun and interesting. The story of Keith and Veronica definitely had more than a little drama and an interesting story-line. The book sets up the new series by introducing the Hartwell brothers, an old, rich and influential family in Massachusetts. Keith is the oldest of the brothers and is a successful fashion photographer. Veronica is a young teacher who has a complicated family situation as she still lives at home with a number of adopted siblings that she helps care for.
Keith and Veronica meet when she during the summer break she takes a job as a server for a catering company which works at an event his family’s foundation is hosting. He sees her and is immediately drawn to her but does not know what his feelings really are. Instead of pursuing her himself he sets her up with his older brother Matt. Matt has decided to marry the young and spoiled daughter of a rich family as in a plan to save the family charity and legacy. So in a bid to try and turn Matt’s head away from the unsuitable match Keith hatches another match.
But will Keith allow Veronica to actually be Matt’s or will he quickly realize what the feelings are that he is having? What will Veronica decide?
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
What a great story about Keith and Veronica. I love all of MS Parkers books. Keith is a famous photographer who thinks a plan to get his brother, Matt, out of marrying a horrible women. When he enlists Veronica, a school teacher with all the right curves to distract his brother, it all back fires. The instant connection is off the charts. This is the first book about the Hartwell brothers, can’t wait for the next one.
As is the usual with M.S. Parker, I enjoyed this book!!! Keith & Veronica made for a good story. Their character so different yet they find themselves very interested. I was so into this book I finished it in less than a day. Lol. I am excited for the next book in the series!!
A wonderful love novel full of emotion. Keith and Veronica dance around each other. It also works against them that Keith initially tries to link her to his brother. Keith does not know that Veronica is still a virgin when he has sex with her for the first time. Then he also thinks that she is still with his brother, not knowing that she has just broken that relationship, and is sending her away after the deed. Veronica feels like old dirt has been put aside and Keith has to go through the dust to regain her trust and love.
A well-designed story. I felt the uncertainties ring through the words and felt the chemistry that was present between them. At the start of the story also many comic moments that made the story a bit lighter where later on it is mainly accompanied by intense emotions of sadness, guilt and regret. Highly recommended this book. This promises something for the series ‘The Hartwell brothers’

This is the first book in The Hartwell Brothers series, and the story of Keith. When the family charity needs a financial boost, Keith brother Matt thinks marrying a rich investors daughter is the best way to save it, but Keith thinks it’s a mistake, and when he find the right girl he set his brother up, but she isn’t the right girl for Matt. This was an entertaining read, steamy, sexy, sweet, and emotional. Great read.

Keith is the first book in M.S. Parker’s The Hartwell Brother’s Series. The book focuses on Keith Hartwell, a fashion photographer and son of a powerful old money family, and Veronica Cheshire, an innocent school teacher Keith tries to set up with his older brother to prevent his marriage to a spoiled socialite. Unfortunately, Keith finds himself drawn to Veronica even while pushing her toward his brother. Their journey to love is a complicated story. M.S. Parker has authored a novel with an interesting plot, intriguing characters, and an emotional storyline full of ups and downs. I recommend this well written book.

What a great beginning of a new series! I’m already in love with Keith! This story starts off a little slow, but you gotta lay down the ground work before a series can become amazing! I have no doubt that this is going to be one of those amazing series!
I look forward to seeing where The Hartwell Brothers series will take it’s readers!
I absolutely loved Keith by M.S. Parker. From the first chapter I was hooked. The chemistry between Keith and Veronica is off the charts HOT. You can’t help but root for them to figure their crap out and get together.
The writing is fantastic and sucks you into the storyline. Told in both Keith and Veronica’s POV.
Will Keith realize that Sondra is the one in time
The story starts with some foreshadowing of the one that got away from Keith’s brother, Matt and flips to present day with Keith who is an acclaimed photographer, finishing up a photo shoot. Back home, Keith tries to talk Matt out of marrying Nikolette to get an influx of cash to save the foundation. Veronica finishes her last day of classes and looks forward to working for the same catering company during the summer. When Keith and Sondra meet at the benefit where Sondra is working, the attraction is heart shattering for them both. Yet Keith pushes Sondra in his brother’s direction to make Matt realize how good it can be with the right woman. Will Keith realize what Sondra means to him before it is too late? You definitely want to give some Gibb head slaps to knock some sense into Matt over Nikolette and Keith over Sondra.
An interesting and enjoyable read! A slow burn; the storyline is well written, relatable, emotionally deep, funny, and steamy. The characters are likeable with off the charts chemistry between them. A really good read; strongly recommended!
