The Keeper

Editorial Reviews:"Ms. Armstrong and Ms. Piet made every touch, every sigh, and every moan come alive with their words. The powerful emotions that Hadi and Dhakir have for each other and the way they try to contain themselves bring out the poignancy of this tale. You cannot help but ache when they ache, suffer when they suffer, and feel joy when they feel joy. The Keeper is beautifully written. You will fall in love not only with these characters but with this tale itself." -- Danielle, Coffee Time Romance"The relationship between the two men is a slooooow burning ember that flickers to life suddenly when you least expect it, even as they both fight it.... The guys are both interesting and well drawn and the path of their relationship seemed realistic, no insta-love, not even insta-lust. The exploration and reinterpretation of religious themes, and the examination of biblical inhabitants was fascinating to me, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book." -- TJ at JesseWave Reviews"The Keeper is a very different and unique take on immortality with heavy religious themes. The writing is solid and the story itself is rather interesting, engaging the readers' attention, although the serious religious elements may not be to all tastes.... The build of tension and sensuality is nice and combined with the themes of the story, offers something entirely new and refreshing." -- Kassa ReviewsBook Description:Generation after generation, an unattached male is plucked from the same family line and sent to the home of the man they only know as Dhakir.
