Keeping You: A Cheshire Love Story (Cheshire Love Stories #3) by Mollie Blake

From Goodreads

His past haunts him. Revenge drives him. Can her love save him?

After a chance meeting in a bookshop, young Suzy Harper is engaged by multi-multimillionaire, Lawrence Bane, to work on translating a French document. They embark on an intense relationship, but he is surrounded by mystery and shame as demons from his past threaten to destroy everything he has worked for, including her love for him.

This exciting erotic romantic thriller traces the increasingly intense and tender relationship between the inexperienced Suzy and her wealthy, troubled lover, Lawrence. There are two obsessions in Lawrence’s life—his passion for Suzy and his drive for revenge against the gangland boss who murdered his best friend.

Will Suzy be strong enough to accept Lawrence for the man he is? Will Lawrence trust the woman he loves enough to reveal his darkest secrets to her? Will their love survive the challenges that lie ahead? 

My thoughts

My thanks to the Author, Publisher and TBConFB for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first story that I've read by this Author and I am more than happy to give it an 8/10 or 4 stars. Mollie Blake has the ability to tell a story interwoven with erotic passages that may contain some bondage and BDSM amongst them, without making them overly gratuitous. They fit the theme of the story well enhancing the relationships between the characters.

In this standalone story in the Cheshire Love Stories series, Lawrence Bane meets and falls for Suzy Harper. At first Lawrence appears to be very controlling over Suzy, he likes to be in charge and at times I found their relationship to be quite claustrophobic.

However, running alongside the story about their normal day to day life and the burgeoning relationship between them, is a story that is lurking in the shadows of his past life that we the reader are fed bits of along the way. It's not long before we realise that the controlling side of Lawrence is his protective nature coming out.

As the past is about to collide with the present will Lawrence and Suzy survive what is about to happen or will their relationship fall at the final hurdle?

Well written and easy to read, this story by Mollie Blake will keep you engaged for many hours, why not see for yourself and grab a copy to read.
