Yours to Keep by Lauren Layne
4.0

Yours to Keep is the second book in the Man of the Year series, however, this can easily be read as a standalone.

Carter is a professional baseball player, also he is the current Man of the Year, however, he is injured and currently cannot play the sport he loves. After his twin sister all but forces him to come back to their hometown for the high school reunion with the promise his high school girlfriend is single and will be there, he packs up and heads to his hometown. Olive is a teacher at the school she used to attend. She is friends with Carter’s sister and his former classmate and lab partner. She can now add his new neighbor to her list.

I loved Olive from the moment she was introduced. She was quirky, smart and just had a fun and bright personality. I liked that Carter wasn’t the overly cocky professional sports star. Yes, he is the towns proud and joy, but he is nice and kind. He is also caring. I loved how Olive and Carter were introduced to each other again. I loved how Olive just kind of inserting herself into Carter’s life, it led to many funny moments and great banter between both Carter and Olive.

Yours to Keep was a fun, sweet romance.
