Title: One To Keep (One To Hold, #2)
Series: One To Hold
Author: Tia Louise
Release Date: January 13, 2014
LOTS of sexual content. Patrick is a naughty boy until he meets
Elaine. So there's the warning--if you keep reading, have fun! (It's meant to
be fun. *wink*)
There's a new guy in
town...
"Patrick Knight, single, retired Guard-turned private
investigator. I was a closer. A deal maker. I looked clients in the eye and
told them I’d get their shit done. And I did..."
Patrick doesn't do
"nice."
At least, not anymore.
After his fiance
cheats, he follows up with a one-night stand and a disastrous office hook-up.
His business partner (Derek Alexander) sends him to the desert to get his head
straight--and clean up the mess.
While there, Patrick
meets Elaine, and blistering sparks fly, but she's not looking for any guy. Or
a long-distance relationship.
Patrick's ready to do
anything to keep her, but just when it seems he’s changed her mind, the
skeletons from his past life start coming back.
WARNING: Recommended for adult readers (18+) only! Mature
themes, strong language, and sexual content...
Tia Louise is a former journalist, world-traveler, and collector
of beautiful men (who inspire all of her stories... wink)—turned wife, mommy,
and novelist.
She lives in the center of the U.S.A. with her lovely family and
one grumpy cat. There, she dreams up stories she hopes are engaging, hot, and
sexy, and that cause readers rethink common public locations…
It’s possible she has a slight truffle addiction.
After his fiancé cheats on him, Patrick decides it’s better to
be “that” guy – you know, the one-night-stand-screw-‘em-and-leave-‘em-guy –
than the nice sweet one he really is.
Nice and sweet haven’t gotten him very far. But, being “that” guy got his butt shipped
off to Arizona by his business partner to cover a boring conference. The desert is what you get when you dip the
pen in the company ink! But, serving penance isn’t all that bad especially when
Patrick meets Elaine……
Patrick, Patrick, Patrick….. What can I say??? You started off an ass, but captured my heart
by the end. I knew you weren’t “that”
guy…….. you just didn’t have it in you.
But, you sure managed to step in a big pile of crap I sure as heck didn’t
see coming. I had no clue how you
planned to scrape that one off your shoe.
So once again, Tia managed to take how I thought it would play out and
toss it right out the window.
One To Keep fills in the holes of the times we didn’t see
Patrick and Elaine in One To Hold. Now, we know what they were doing ;). It’s a fun, quick, and sexy light read. It’s a book I picture reading while on the
beach in my lounge chair sipping a fruity umbrella drink.
I enjoyed One To Keep, but Patrick and Elaine didn’t have the
same effect on me as Melissa and Derek did.
I still love Tia’s style, and she can write one heck of a sex scene. Her ability to capture the male POV and
create a sensitive hero is great.
If you want to know what Elaine and Patrick were doing while Melissa
and Derek were holed up in Arizona definitely pick up One To Keep! Elaine is definitely one to keep, but Patrick needs to convince Elaine that he is, too.

in his field. Melissa Jones is a small-town girl trying to escape her troubled
past.
When the two intersect in a bar in Arizona, their sexual
chemistry is off the charts. But what is revealed during their "one week
stand" only complicates matters.
Because she'll do everything in her power to get away from the
past, but he'll do everything he can to hold her.
