Yours to Keep

In Serena Bell's Yours to Keep, this contemporary romance debut deals with hard-core issue of the immigration status in our country and what would you do for love. For Ana Travares, she's been living under the ICE's radar as an undocumented citizen since her mother's death. And she's under pressure for taking the CORI in order to tutor high school students. When Dr. Ethan Hansen's son Theo needs a Spanish tutor, he requested her tutoring services. From there, he had helped transformed Theo and bridged the gap between father and son, which had been chartered some rapid waters in their relationship. But Ana tries not to fall in love with Ethan, since she knew her secret about her immigration status and her protective brother wouldn't approve. When he catches wind about her citizenship, he proposes a plan to keep her in the country and in her life to get her green card. When her brother finds out, he encourages Ethan to break it up, when the forces against her had propelled her to do it first. Later, during a family crisis, Ana calls Ethan to come to the rescue. That had changed everything between them, when Ethan wants to do it right and make Ana his wife and to give her the American dream of hers to keep for her own with a happy ending.

This was a great debut from Serena Bell for this contemporary romance novel. I cared for Ana and the plight her family had been put through since they lost their mother. I loved how Ana wanted to help other citizen learn English and become US citizens. The immigration status for undocumented citizens is still a global concern in the world today. I did find Ethan compassionate to his patients and to Theo and to Ana's situation. I did find Ricky a bit overbearing, but he did soften up a little bit in the end. I did love the scenic settings of Hawthorne and Beacon Massachusetts pretty amazing and fantastic for the location itself. This would make you think about the world we live in and how it could change people on a hardspun time. This would make you shake your heard, swoon and sigh, and take a deep and long breath with drama, suspense, nonstop action and plenty of romance.

Will you find your soulmate and American dream that would be yours to keep?
