Keeping Quinn by Riley Edwards

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

He liked fast and loose—she was sweet and innocent.

Firefighter Brice Lancaster lived his life by a set of rules: No commitments, no attachments, no promises. Three rules that were easy to follow—rules that kept his heart safe, rules that should’ve kept his best friend’s cousin out of his bed. 
So what was it about Quinn that made him lose his mind? Maybe it was her shiny midnight hair that made him forget he hated attachments. Or her emerald eyes that made him want to promise her the world. Or her sexy smile that made him insane with lust and the need to claim her innocence and keep her. 

Quinn Walker didn’t believe in boundaries—never had. She’d spent her life bouncing from one thing to the next—the wild child of the group. So when Quinn moves in next door to the man she’s crushed on for years, she knew she was in trouble. Big, strong, tatted, sexy firefighter trouble. Or maybe it was Brice that was in trouble because Quinn wasn’t going to let this golden opportunity slip through her fingers. No wasn’t an option. 

It was supposed to be just fun. 
They’d agreed on no strings. 
Blinded by lust, they both gave in. 
Brice broke his rules. Quinn let herself fall in love. 

Then, in a cruel twist of fate, everything went up in smoke. Will one of them be strong enough to be honest—or was it all just a game?

The heroine: Quinn Walker – she lives in an apartment next door to Brice Lancaster, the hot firefighter that she has had a crush on for years. Brice works with Quinn’s best friend Jackson which made her off-limits for him. Quinn has a desk job, which she hated. But she liked her apartment, and she liked to eat, so she accepted the job that her father got her at Triple Canopy.

The Hero: Brice Lancaster – he is a firefighter and a player. He has an intense fear of commitment and doesn’t plan on ever having a lasting relationship. He had a messed-up family, including an uncle with a string of wives. Quinn Walker was #1 on his list of women to avoid, since he never planned on having sex with her and didn’t want to get into anything deeper with any woman.

The Story: One day when Brice came home after spending hours in the emergency room with a burn on his arm, he found himself at Quinn’s place sharing a meal with her. In the next few weeks, they crossed paths more often than ever before and Brice could not deny his attraction to Quinn. He couldn’t have her and tried to make her hate him, though he can’t seem to stay away from her.

I kind of liked the fact that though Brice was known as a playboy and he admitted that he had been with many women, he hadn’t been with any in the six months since Quinn moved in next door to him. Also, I liked the fact that he appreciated what a special person Quinn was and thought that she was too good for him, which he told her is why he stayed away from her. He treated her so good when he was with her.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Devon Grace and Troy Duran. Troy is one of my favorite male narrators. I just love his deep and sexy voice. He is a terrific narrator as well and does different voices for different characters. Devon has a clear feminine voice that sounded age appropriate for the heroine. She also has a good voice for a quirky character like Quinn. These two have narrated a bunch of books together and do an excellent job.
