When thirtysomething celebrity journalist Gwendolyn Taylor inherits an antebellum manor -- Bon Temps -- in Louisiana Cajun country, she decides to leave the hustle and bustle of Boston for the picturesque bayou. Little does she realize the mystery and peril that await her in the small town of Bayou Teche when she begins to investigate an unsolved murder that happened decades before.... Sheriff Shiloh Harper has lived in Bayou Teche all his life, comfortable with its simple, easy lifestyle. So when Boston-born newcomer Gwen Taylor arrives in town, he is surprised to find that he's not only attracted to her, but that she is the only one to stir his passion since his ex-wife. What he doesn't know is that their paths and their passions are destined to cross.
Fantastic chemistry between both couples. I loved this 2-in-1 novel because of the storyline, the characters and just the fact that the novel grabbed a hold of my attention like a vice grip. Awesome storytelling Ms. Alers.
Enjoyed the story, rather sweet better than the prequel

Wonderful characters, great love story if there is a real Shiloh Harper type guy down there in the bayou I would love to meet him. This story stands on its own and is better than the prequel. (I did not really get into it) I like romance books with at least a hint of realism in the plot and even tho this all takes place in 3 months I did enjoy it, especially the handcuff scene - so sweet, romantic and sexy!
GREAT with a double G

A Time To Keep has all you would want in a book. I laughed so hard at times I had to put it down. The only other words for this book is Ms. Alers "put her foot in this one". An excellent read when it comes to romance, mystery and who done it.
Awesome!!!

As usual, Rochelle Alers has worked her magic and created another masterpiece. The characters are exciting and inviting. Alers captures your attention and does not let it go. At the end of the story, you wish that there was still much, much, more!!!!
A book to keep and savor...

I read "Happily Ever After," which featured Lauren Taylor Samuels awhile ago. So, it was nice catching up with her cousin Gwendolyn Taylor in a "A Time To Keep." Gwendolyn, a celebrated journalist, decides to make a drastic move from her Boston home to the Louisiana Bayou. Equipped with her day planner and timetable, Gwen's ordered and structured life comes apart when she meets Sheriff Shiloh Harper. (For starters, the man is FINE!) Little did she know her life would change -- so drastically. After their first encounter, Gwen nor Shiloh would ever be the same! I love the way Ms. Alers writes. She gets you so involved with the characters, you can't help but feel as though you know them. Her love scenes are touching, sensual and leave me yearning for more. Since this book features both stories, read "Happily Ever After" first, then "A Time to Keep." You'll enjoy them both. Thank you, Ms. Alers! Much respect.
