Love Is for Keeps

Customer Reviews

Being kept off guard

I liked this book becuase Roberto kept Brandi off guard with his overall sincerity as their relationship grew. I was never bored reading this book.

My Little Roberto

Exceptional work, Mrs Norfleet. Just like the rest of your works, Love Is For Keeps is in there with the best of them. I consumed this book so fast, I gonna have to read it again to get the full effect. I definately missed Roberto's antics, but I'm glad that he finally grew up and came into his own. I knew he had to be in "love" the moment he turned some food down. Ha, that was hilarious.... I love the chemistry between him and Brandy and I like the way he took charge of her situation. I will not spoil this story any further by giving too many thngs away, but I really , really wish that IR would fall off a cliff, or some wild lion consume her wretched flesh.... Sheesh!!!! Good stuff Thanks.

Puerto Rico, love and yes, Roberto!

"Love is For Keeps," the sequel to "Reflections of You" gave us more of the delectable Roberto Santos and believe me, I savored every page of him! Roberto has the reputation of being a rich, notorious player who could lead a woman to heartbreak in 30 minutes or less. (Have mercy!) And yes, like many people, he has a few issues: He's harboring a two-year old secret from his brother and the rest of his family, dealing with an unruly employee who reminds him of a younger version of himself and he's falling in love with a woman who doesn't want him. Raising her teenage brother, Brandy Parker is hardworking, family-oriented and a complete stranger to letting go and having fun. Yet, while at a nightclub, Brandy meets Roberto and much to her surprise - and dismay -- sparks fly, lips connect and she enjoys it. The only problem is she's heard about Roberto's reputation and shies away from getting involved any further - or at least she tries. I must say, in the first few chapters I wasn't feeling Brandy. Her indecisiveness was a little annoying and I didn't think she could handle Roberto. However, toward the middle of the book I was pleasantly surprised. Brandy finally stepped out of her comfort zone, took a few risks, and began to realize that she couldn't believe everything she'd heard about Roberto. More importantly, she learned to have faith -- especially when it comes to love. I SO enjoyed this book! The love scenes were intense and passionate. Let me put it this way: Running water + Roberto = rapid heartbeat and instant meltdown. (Whew!) The description of Puerto Rico was gorgeous. Ms. Norfleet captured the very essence of this magnificent and lush island. I felt like I was there again. It was great to catch up with Marco (Roberto's brother), Angela, Angelina and even, Isabella. I'm glad that Marco and Angela finally received some closure in their lives. (You MUST read "Reflections of You" to get the full story). Based on the new friends introduced in the book, I feel a few sequels coming on! (Yes!!) Well done, Ms. Norfleet, I remain a die-hard fan!
