When Kel Taylor’s life changes irrevocably, he finds himself alone in the world. He might have rebelled a little against his parents, but that didn’t mean he was ready to lose them. Unable to cope with his grief and feelings of guilt, he turns to booze, but before he hits rock bottom, someone dives into the murky waters to save him.Luc Bryant watched Kel grow from the little kid whose football … football broke a pane in his greenhouse, into the sexy young man who sent heat racing through him. That was when Luc stopped watching and distanced himself, because he didn’t want to be that kind of a man. And that’s how things continued, until he saw to what depths the boy had sunk. Luc will be damned if he’ll let Kel kill himself. What Kel needs is a friend, and Luc’s shoulders are plenty big enough to bear his burdens.
Kel doesn’t need a friend. He needs a pair of strong arms to hold him, a broad chest to curl up against, someone to listen to him, someone who cares for him… and a whole lot more.
What he needs is a Daddy.
He just doesn’t know it yet.
A stand-alone book that contains an age gap relationship between a sexy daddy and a virgin.

If you love MM romances with an age gap, you’ll love this one. It’s sexy, emotional, and has a satisfying happy end. The actual daddy kink is super slow, but that didn’t bother me at all since to me, it’s more than just calling someone Daddy.
This was an amazing read.
The MC’S were so real and captivating that you can’t help but get invested in their journey.
I loved the Naration.
john Solo is one of my favorites
Holy smokes, does KC Wells do it right or what!?! Simply amazing.
Incredible hurt/comfort story, add in the sweetest, most realistic Daddy/boy relationship ever, gorgeous 1st time, and some of the hottest BDSM scenes out there, and Kel’s Keeper is definitely one for my re-read shelf.
Even better? Enjoy it in audio, because no one one the planet could do this one better than John Solo. His expression, the emotion he brings to these guys, his sultry & super sexy performance during the romance scenes. Holy hot damn, it’s fantastic!
Great Story! Top Notch Narration Sweet & Spicy
Kel’s Keeper
By: K.C. Wells
Narrated by: John Solo
K.C. Wells pens another another great novel and it is sweet and spicy with a whole lot of heart. The story grabbed my attention right from the start and held it straight to the end. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. I adored the two lead characters, Kel Taylor and Luc Bryant. Kel is a graduate student, taking the weekend off for a surprise visit to his parent home to find they were not home, they took an unplanned trip to their cabin. Kel decided to stay home, he saw his neighbor working in his yard, they got to talking and Luc asked him to help him and then have lunch with him. Kel was just a baby when Luc moved next door to Kel’s parents and he got to watch him grow into a sexy young man. Luc liked his guys young but he refused to look at Kel that way. The two wind up hitting it off in a friendly way and when Kel receives devastating news about his parents it was Kel who was there for him. Kel opens up to Luc, we hear how it was for him to grow up in such a religious setting, how his father wanted to follow his footsteps and become a minister which he has no interest in. He opens up about his sexuality too, but Luc keeps his own to himself not wanted to influence him at all. I thought these two were meant to be together, they were perfect for each other. I liked how everything plays out in this book, it is a slow burn romance, it leads to a loving and charing daddy/boy relationship with a side of hot kink. There is plenty of drama, a touch of angst and loads of heartfelt and emotional moments that grab at your heartstrings. K.C. Wells, thank you for another great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
I listened to the audiobook edition, John Solo is a fantastic narrator and voice artist. He does an amazing job portraying the characters, bringing them to life and humanizing them with their emotions and personality. He gives each character their own unique voice which makes it easy to follow the story and who is who. He is a talented and entertaining storyteller. Thank you for another awesome listen, it is always a pleasure to listen to your work.
This is a new author to me and I will definitely be checking out more of her work. This is an emotionally charged read that have me begging to know what happens. Luc and Kel are wonderfully flawed characters. Luc just wants to protect Kel and does everything in his best interest and not put any pressure on him. Kel is just trying to work through the pain and guilt of his upbringing. There wasn’t so much of a daddy kink aspect of this book but it was still beautifully written. I highly recommend this book!
Kel’s Keeper by K.C. Wells is a contemporary m/m age gap romance with a sweet Daddy/Boy feel. Its beautiful and emotional story of two men creating a wonderful bond after a tragedy brings them together. Kel and Luc’s story has heat and sweetness, the emotions between these two leap off the page and capture your heart… making the reader fall in love as these two characters fall in love.
I received an advanced reader’s copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review and recommendation.
When Kel’s life falls apart he has no idea what to do. Luc steps in and takes Kel on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance. All Luc wants to do is help Kel get back on his feet again but his attraction to the man cannot be denied. The more time that the two spend together the stronger the feelings get. Soon Kel begins to realize that his own emotions are taking root and that there is so much more to them than a young man’s crush. Can these two find a way to each other before it is too late, and they let the chance at a happy ever after slip through their fingers?
Kel and Luc’s story is a sweet and beautiful read. Kel goes through so much and is still discovering himself with the help of Luc. No matter what happens Luc is right there to reassure Kel and give the man the help that he needs. I enjoyed seeing the development of their relationship. It grows from friendship to something stronger and deeper. We get to watch Kel grow and find himself as he and Luc figure out just where they stand. I enjoyed seeing Kel find his strength and accept what he needs and wants from Luc. As a reader who just lost a parent this story hits home and, in a way, I can relate to many of the emotions that Kel goes through. The author weaves a beautiful story full of strong and endearing characters and I loved seeing the two men work so hard to do and be what the other needed. Their friendship blossoms into a strong relationship that includes kink and gives a glimpse at a Daddy/boy dynamic and as with all relationships everyone’s is different and Kel and Luc’s cannot be labeled it is just theirs.
This was such a beautiful love story with the added hot and steamy sexy times between Luc and Kel. I read this story in one day it captivated me.
There is so much longing in this story that the MC’s don’t talk about or don’t think they should talk about so early on in their relationship. Luc is so protective of his boy that it was so wonderful to read. You could actually feel how their feelings were for each other and how scared they were that they thought the other wasn’t feeling them. Luckily though, Kel grows to understand Luc’s true desires and the truth of their dynamic on his own, making the sweetest romantic gesture to show his lover how perfect they are for each other.
This was such a marvelous story!!!
Sweet, steamy, emotionally charged May-December romance. The love and care is exceptional in this beautifully written story. Luc’s focus is really about what is best for Kel and in some ways protecting Kel from even any hint of pressure. I love how Kel grows and works though the guilt of his upbringing.
Luc and Kel are wonderfully crafted characters that you will connect with and will be rooting for to have their HEA. I really enjoyed the journey to discovery for them and how their love had a bit of Kink thrown in to make it complete.
I was gifted this book from the author and i freely give my review
Kel’s Keeper by K.C. Wells was provided to me in exchange for an honest review. Kel went home to visit his parents but found they decided to go out of town unexpectedly. He soon finds his world turned upside down and with the help of Luc, finds support, trust, and love. I enjoyed this book for the slow burn of attraction to love. I also liked the fact that it was not filled with daddy this and that but a slow introduction to the dynamics of daddy kink where it is subtle and not so in your face. While Luc guided Kel to be a wonderful man and be proud of who he was, he also allowed Kel to connect the dots together to become the boy his daddy needs.
What a beautiful age-gap love story!
I don’t read much Daddy kink and since this book is more of an age-gap with a side of a Daddy/boy relationship, that was fine with me. More than fine, actually; I loved this story. Some people might be put off by an age-gap of over 20 years but I’ve known at least two couples with nearly this large of an age-gap who were married for a long time so it’s not an issue for me.
What really impressed me in Kel’s Keeper is how much Luc respected Kel. During Kel’s later teen years, Luc became attracted to him but Luc went out of his way to avoid Kel so that he wouldn’t be tempted to do anything inappropriate. But after Kel’s parents die it becomes apparent to Luc that he needs help. Kel needs someone to help guide him and pull him out of the depression he’s fallen into, but Luc never treated Kel like a “kid.” Luc also doesn’t reveal his true feelings for Kel until Kel reveals how he feels about Luc.
After both of them reveal their true feelings, Luc helps Kel to experience what it means to be gay and helps him realize that he doesn’t need to feel ashamed of who he is. He never pressures Kel for anything. He knows that he has certain things he wants from a sexual relationship but never says anything until Kel brings it up.
This was a beautiful love story with a lot of hot sexy time between Luc and Kel. I read this story from beginning to end without stopping to do anything else; it was just that good. I wish I could do a better job of putting into writing how much I liked this book.
I think that one of the biggest compliments I can give an author who provides me with an advanced review copy (ARC) is to immediately purchase the book after I’ve read it. I purchased a copy of this one.
A copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.

Another wonderful book by KC Wells. This was actually a second read through and I loved it just as much as the first time. Always good, kinky fun with her characters and an excellent storyline to boot.
Kel’s Keeper

Overall
Narration
Story
Read at 1.10 spread on Audible.
We meet Kel a 24 Yr old graduate student, he comes home the same weekend his parents die. His neighbour who’s known him since he was born helps him get through this tragic time.
Luke, the neighbour has harboured a crush on his young neighbour since Kel was 17, even though he would never tell him or anyone else.
Over the months, Luke helps Kel more and more, moving Kel in to make sure he eats properly etc.
A relationship forms but is it enough for Luke or Kel.
I loved this story, it was heartfelt and the virgin lover was just endearing. The characters are well written and the way they are treated by family/Christians is horrid but real.
We get a HEA in the end. John Solo again does an excellent job.
