Synopsis: “Sean Kowalski no sooner leaves the army than he's recruited by Emma Shaw to be her fake fiancé. Emma needs to produce a husband-to-be for her grandmother's upcoming visit, and, though Sean doesn't like the deception, he could use the landscaping job Emma's offering while he decides what to do with his civilian life. And, despite his attraction to Emma, there's no chance he'll fall for a woman with deep roots in a town he's not planning to call home.
Emma's not interested in a real relationship either; not with a man whose idea of home is wherever he drops his duffel bag. No matter how amazing his "pretend" kisses are...”
I think this is by far my favorite book from this series so far by Shannon Stacey. Yours To Keep is absolutely a book readers should have on their bookshelves. I was blown away by how fast the story went by because I was so glued to my screen until it was done. I loved Sean and Emma, who are so alike and so different it was plain to see how well they fit together. This book made me laugh, cry, smirk, get angry, feel heart break, and so many other emotions. I LOVED the sticky notes Sean used, the way Emma was “bat-shit crazy” and the way these two characters came together was just so comical and romantic. I felt their chemistry and passion for one another as each page went by. I give Yours To Keep by Shannon Stacey 5 smirks because the characters are sooo loveable, the storyline is so witty and funny, and the ending is so adorably sweet and reassuring. I’m still waiting for my Kowalski.

Synopsis: “One-night stand + two percent condom failure rate = happily ever after?
Bar owner Kevin Kowalski is used to women throwing their phone numbers at him, but lately he's more interested in finding a woman to settle down with. A woman like Beth Hansen. If only their first meeting hadn't gone so badly...
Beth's tending bar at a wedding when she comes face-to-face with a tuxedo-clad man she never thought she'd see again. She tries to keep her distance from Kevin but, by last call, she can't say no to his too-blue eyes or the invitation back to his room. Then she slips out before breakfast without leaving a note and, despite their precautions, pregnant.
Kevin quickly warms to the idea of being a dad and to seeing where things go with Beth. After all, he's not the player she thinks he is. But she's not ready for a relationship and, given his reputation, it's going to take a lot to convince her to go on a second date with the father of her child.”
Undeniably Yours by Shannon Stacey is an unexpected romance story about finding in love in the place you thought you’d never end up. So far I have really enjoyed this series by Shannon Stacey and look forward to reading the next book, Yours To Keep. Undeniably Yours by Shannon Stacey will make readers fall in love with the guy who will never settle down, it will make readers crazy insane with Beth’s hung ups, and readers will fall madly in love with Lily. Undeniably Yours is a roller coaster ride of emotion between Kevin and Beth’s unusual situation. I loved the witty, funny conversations and all of the heated unsettled arguments; it really wasn’t like reading it a great book, it was like watching a great movie. I found myself absolutely glued to my chair as I read Undeniably Yours, just totally memorized by the characters and storyline. I give Undeniably Yours by Shannon Stacey 5 smirks because Kevin and Beth are an odd but truly wonderful fit, the Kowalski family dynamic is always a treat to read about, and this book just made me laugh at such unexpected times that I found myself adoring it before it even ended.
