Spontaneously offering to be his best friend’s fake boyfriend to get Ethan’s annoying team captain off his back? I’m highly recommending this story and I’m onto the next!Ĭasey Preston is the guy with the plan. It all makes for a fantastic romance and terrific secondary characters whose stories will be appearing shortly.Īnother aspect I loved is that people, hockey players and their partners, from her other books and series, pop up here as supporters. These elements, two incredibly different characters and one amazing relationship. Also twinned painful pasts for both men where each has taken that trauma and emotionally internalized it in vastly different ways. There’s a bullying aspect here but on the jock side which is unexpected but again completely realistic.

Of course it helps tremendously if you have adorable, layered characters with realistic chemistry that whenever they’re together the warmth and love just flows off the pages. Yep, all that and it works so well together. Here we have a nerd/jock relationship that’s a friends to lovers with elements of slow burn, hurt/comfort, even LGBTQIA bullying within a fake boyfriend storyline. In Keeping Casey the author weaves many of my favorite tropes together to form a sweet and moving romance.

Loosely connected to her hockey series through the Glen Hill College Mountaineers hockey team, which has made its appearances in other stories, this novel is the first in a new Keeping Him series. Keeping Casey is another terrific contemporary romance from Amy Aislin.
