Peyton Callaghan is a fighter, a survivor, a warrior. When it was kill or be killed, she didn’t hesitate. Now, she’s the only one left standing, haunted by the ghost of a dead man and plagued with the guilt of having taken another person’s life. The upheaval of her life to start over in Rock Falls has been rocky at best, her worst nightmares and wildest desires colliding with each other. Terror tortures her nightly, breeding fear inside her dreams, and in every waking moment, she fights against the lust that threatens to drown her.
Jayden King harbors secrets beneath his outward playboy demeanor. The women who warm his bed lay claim to nothing—you can’t lay claim to someone who doesn’t have a heart. His wit and charm are exquisite means of deflection and distraction from the turmoil roaring inside him. He’s hidden in plain sight, a mask of humor keeping the sadness at bay. The only real reflections of his soul are in the artwork he creates, pieces of him muraled on the skin of others. If tattoo artists could have a calling card, the etch of pain and suffering in each design would be his. Because when the lights go out and the women he’s satisfied have gone home, he’s alone with every fear he refuses to face.
After suffering from a brutal attack at the hands of her roommate’s stalker, Peyton is forced to live with the object of her affection. Without intention, she breathes love into his starved heart, and although the mere thought of that terrifies him, Jayden would burn the city down to keep her safe, causalities be damned.
Some people you have. Some people you hold.
She can have him. She can hold him. But can she keep King? Or is it impossible for Callaghan to keep something that was never really hers to begin with?
~ My Review ~
Keeping King is book 4 in the Rock Falls
series by the extremely talented Anne Jolin. If you haven’t started this series
then I 100% recommend you start in NOW! You are definitely missing out.
The Rock Falls series centers on an amazing
group of friends. Each book shows how each couple found their way to each
other. Honestly each book can be read a standalone but honestly you need to
start with book one Chasing Rhodes to experience just how amazing all these
characters are.
I know I’ve said it before but I swear Anne
Jolin’s writing seriously just keeps getting better and better. Each of these
stories seeming to be getting sexier, wittier and have this crazy ability to suck
me in to the literary world Jolin pens all that much more readily. I seriously want to
move to Rock Falls and join the gang and be life long friends. I cannot stress
how much I look forward to each new book.
Keeping King is Jayden and Peyton’s book.
Which I have been DYING for! Like stalking Goodreads and Facebook for glimpses for
what I knew was going to be an incredible story. And fuck me was it ever.
Oh Peyton, holy shit do I love her. She is
a survivor and just soooo bloody resilient. I loved her in the previous books
and needed to know about her past, I knew she has a past but WOW! I didn’t expect that! Peyton is such a sweet,
independent girl; I loved how loyal she is, to the people to whom she considers
family. Having survived though a shit past of her own, she never played the
annoying victim, no rather she is strong and is all about moving on, starting a
new happy life.
I love the air of mystery that continued on from the last book
and I seriously sat on edge eager to see the plot play out.
I just loved the chemistry and feelings
that existed between Jayden and Peyton. I loved their interactions and attempts
to deny their attraction to each other. God and when they finally come together
it is HOT! I couldn’t get enough. I really wanted a bit more hot and sexy
scenes between these too; I just felt their chemistry was so strong. I simply
adored Jay and Peyton and was rooting hard for them to be together a few books
ago! These two were so meant for each other and I just relished in their story.
I loved them!
This book will make you swoon. Oh swooning
from the brooding man that is Jayden. I soooooo loved when he went all alpha
protector on Peyton. God his story nearly killed me, such a sad past; I couldn’t
blame him one bit for being the way he was. I could feel is pain it was so palpable, I literally
had tears streaming down my face. The fact that he finally opens himself up
just had me bursting with joy by bookend.
I simply fell so headstrong in book
hangover territory for these two that I couldn’t stop reading and literally
read this book in pretty much one sitting. I loved the friendships, the
exciting plot and most of all getting to witness Jayden and Peyton falling in
love! Gah I am such a fan girl!

~ ABOUT THE AUTHOR ~
Anne Jolin
Anne Jolin
I’m twenty four years old. I was born and raised in Ladner, a small farm town just outside of Vancouver, Canada. I grew up riding horses, shooting guns and riding in trucks. I’ve been married to my handsome redneck husband for a year and we are parents to our chocolate fur baby, Bear. No kiddo’s yet! I am completely and utterly obsessed with country music, you will constantly find me stalking iTunes. If you don’t find me on iTunes, you’ll find me on Netflix because I am a self proclaimed movie junkie. Yes, that means that I quote them constantly in daily conversation and my characters do too! You couldn’t keep me away from a good action movie if you tried. I’m also a planning nut. I love to plan parties, events, trips – you name it! I don’t know if that’s considered a real hobby, but it is for me.
We were fortunate enough to travel a lot as a family growing up, and I think that helped spark my love of reading. I’m half Viking, my mom is Danish, and her entire side of the family still lives in Denmark. We’d visit them almost once a year, every year and it’s a nine hour flight. That’s a lot of uninterrupted time to read (or in my parent’s case, entertain four children – Yikes!). Somewhere along the way my love of reading, became a love of writing. I wrote short stories when I was younger, and although I majored in Business Management at college, I took as many English electives I could get my hands on.
During the day I work at my family construction company wearing a variety of different hats and at night, I write! I had never thought about writing books before, but after a few suggestions that I should try, I decided to give it a go. I loved it instantly! Having always been a creative person, it felt amazing to harness all that energy and use it to tell a story. Now, quite frankly it’s all I can think about, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m grateful to have developed my love of reading into a passion for writing. You’ll be seeing many more books from me in the future!
