Keeping Him by Kennedy Fox Release Review + Giveaway

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

Jackson Bishop is your typical playboy. Unpredictable, charming and overly confident. Growing up in Texas, the ranch life is all he’s ever known. Horses and late night partying are his lifestyles, and all the local girls know it too. Riding lessons aren’t the only thing taught at the stables, and he makes sure clients never leave unsatisfied. Everyone knows Jackson’s a wild card, but not everything is as it seems. He may be a womanizer on the surface, but he’s hiding deep feelings about the one who’s had his heart since he was a teen. Unfortunately, it’s not as simple as roping her in and claiming her as his. Kiera Young is well-known for her sassy nature and outgoing personality. Thought she’s one of the best horse trainers in the area, she’s never been able to tame her best friend and the man she’s secretly loved since she was fifteen-Jackson Bishop. She’s waited years for him to confess his true feelings but as time goes on, she decides she’s done waiting. Kiera finally meets a man who promises to give her the world, and when he pops the question, she says yes-knowing they’re both ready to settle down and start a family. Even if her heart beats for another person. Jackson’s certain he’s lost Kiera for good and has no one to blame but himself. However, on the day of her wedding, he can’t bring himself to watch the woman he loves walk down the aisle to someone else. Kieera’s already having second thoughts and knows she can’t get married without his support. It’s not until she’s at the altar that she realizes she can’t let Jackson go and will do whatever it takes to keep him-even if it means running out on her own wedding.

If you have been reading the Bishops Brothers series this is book four and is Jackson and Kiera’s story. I have been looking so forward to this book since I read the first book. He is the family jerk.
I have been so curious about Jackson for a while and Keeping Him does not disappoint. He and Kiera have been friends since they were fifteen years old. Kiera has had a thing for him for that long too but feels like Jackson has no feelings for her. He lives his life the way that he wants to and makes no apologies about it and you can so see how Kiera would be clueless as to how Jackson feels. This leads to Trent and Kiera falling into a relationship. After all she can not wait around forever for Jackson. This is where the stories hold some serious angst and surprises as they all seem to have their own relationship with Trent and there is a serious story to be told and it will explain why Jackson lives the kind of live he does and why the Jackson Kiera knew is not unrecognizable to her. I just don’t want to spoil anything for anyone so I am sorry for being so cryptic when talking about all this. If you have read a Kennedy Fox book before you know that you have opened a book that your not going to be able to put down. I didn’t want to move from my reading spot and was so engrossed in this book that I lost time in the day and almost forgot to cook supper. If you too have been looking forward to Jackson’s story your going to love it as much as I did I promise and your not going to be disappointed. Buckle up though it is going to be a bumpy ride with a possible spin cycle thrown in here and there. I am too sad though since this is the last book in the Bishop Brothers Series. I have enjoyed every single one of these books but am looking forward to where Kennedy Fox takes us next.
