May be spoilers:

Kept is the 2nd in the Castile series. Captured was the 1st. This story has 19 chapters and 2 epilogues and is about MJ and Cullen.

Cullen is Maddox’s brother and MJ is Luna’s sister. They met in the first book when Maddox was stalking Luna. This one starts right after Maddox and Luna makeup.

They both are into the other right off the bat.

She’s been celibate for years. He lies a little to move in with her and she wants just the benefits, but doesn’t want to make things complicated as they are family now with their siblings getting married. He agrees only cause he’s going to make her his.

Very steamy with a little spanking thrown in. I loved this one. No real drama.

Cullen is amazing with MJ and takes his time but pushes when he can. MJ, you can definitely understand why she is the way she is, but there wasn’t any pushing away, which was great.

No cheating, no separations, no ow/om drama. Great story. I loved seeing Maddox and Luna again.

Epilogue is a year out and a few months out. They are happily married and her water breaks at the end, they are having twins. I loved it. So sweet and steamy.

I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.  Thanks for reading. Hope you check it out.
