2020-2021 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: Keeping Kellan (Keeping Him #2)
Keeping Kellan (Keeping Him #2) by Amy Aislin
This was an enjoyable read, following a traditional formula. But not quite. Brant and Kellan live happily ever after, but they don't get everything they want. Better: They realize that sometimes you have to let go of old dreams--in Brant's case, the saving of his childhood ballpark--to realize better, present-day ones. Amy Aislin is a master at making a setting come alive on the page. Amy's settings are just that--backdrops against which the action takes place. Yet the action could not happen without this backdrop. The setting slips in unobtrusively, like a supporting character. I now want to live in British Columbia.
