About this listen
An unlikely friendship, a stalking ex, and a serial killer on the loose.
FBI profiler Charlie Bekham prides himself on three unique talents: hacking any database, making women swoon with a cocky smirk, and letting no one see the desperate man buried deep. When a string of murders in Louisville, KY, requires extra help, he’s forced to partner with the brilliant yet shy Special Agent Rhyan Riggs to hunt the killer. Long nights of working the case fan the growing attraction between them, making Charlie question if “just friends” is enough.
Special Agent Rhyan Riggs is running from her past - a narcissistic ex, to be exact. Determined to move on from the terrible breakup, she focuses solely on her career…until him. Special Agent Charlie Bekham. Covered in tattoos, cocky as hell, and bad-boy hot, he’s exactly the type she should avoid at all costs but can’t seem to stay away from.
With more victims and at a dead end, Rhyan does the unthinkable - she puts herself in the killer’s sights. When the killer takes the bait and disappears with the woman Charlie’s fallen for, can he piece together the remaining clues before Rhyan becomes the next body found?
Mine to Keep is the fourth book in the interconnected stand-alone Protection Series. Each book can be listened to as a stand-alone, but because of character crossover, starting from book one, Mine to Protect, is suggested. Due to foul language, discussion of emotional abuse, mention of suicide, and detailed intimate scenes, this book is recommended for listeners 18+.

More Protection Series Greatness! Amazing 🎧📚🎧
Kennedy L. Mitchell continues to blow me away with another amazing novel, a romantic suspense set in her “Protection” series, a series of interconnected standalone novels. Each book features different lead characters, but some crossover into each other’s books and knowing their backstories adds more depth, plus seeing them again is like seeing old friends. This fourth book FBI profiler Charlie Beckham and Special Agent Rhyan Riggs’s story, and what a story it is, if I could, would give it ten stars and I do not want to say this series gets better and better because it would not be fair to the earlier books which are just as amazing. Like most of the ladies in the book, I absolutely adored Charlie Beckham, he looks like a tatted bad boy, but don’t let that fool you, he can get inside your head and profile you like no other, he could also hack your computer too. Newly assigned to the Behavioral Science Unit as a profiler he has to prove his worth to his boss, Carter, who hadn’t not like him from the start. Rhyan got out of an unhealthy relationship, unhealthy for her and is fairly new to the BSU, she is quirky and a bit of an outcast but Charlie turns to her and complains when Carter shoots his idea down about investigating a case in Kentucky, she looks into it and goes to the boss with it who then authorizes the investigation, assigning her and Charlie the case, she is to monitor him too, the boss does not trust him. These two made a great team, both job wise and on a personal level, the chemistry between them was sizzling and they could only deny each other for so long. Watching them work the case was amazing too. This captivating story is cleverly plotted with the perfect balance of drama, angst, mystery, thrilling suspense, action, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Kennedy L. Mitchell, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Teddy Hamilton and Maxine Mitchell were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life, and did so with a complete understanding of their persona, and were believable in every role they played. Hamilton’s Charlie Beckham was spot on, he pulled off every side of his personality, from his I don’t give a crap to tough guy to his soft and caring side. Mitchell nailed it as Rhyan, grasped her insecurities, quirkiness, her smarts and her strength. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions and projected them in to their performance, making you feel every single on. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another amazing listen.

All the FEELS!
Special Agent Rhyan Riggs is my favourite type of character. She’s quirky and awkward and brilliant! I love the chemistry between her and Special Agent Charlie Bekham and how he helps her find herself. She’s dealt with a lot from her past relationship and with Charlie she’s able to regain her confidence and sense of self worth and finally ignore the lingering voice of doubt in her mind left from years of verbal abu$e. Charlie is smart, fun and freakin hot! I love his protective and caring nature and he fills this book with intensity. His inner dialogue is just as delightful as his b3droom talk.
It’s hard to choose favourite narrator pairings but I fell in love with Teddy and Maxine in another hacker romance so listening to them in this just brought back all the fond memories. They are both top narrators for me already, and no surprise, their performances were fantastic! Great energy, really good pacing, and they both have great voices for the other main character.
This book also introduces us to the main character for the next in the series, FBI Agent Bryson Bennett, whom I absolutely fell in love with so much, that I bought the next book before finishing this one just so I could read it immediately after. This series is so much fun!

Loved Charlie and Rhyan!
Mine to Keep was such a great listen! I loved the characters, storyline, and the narrators really shined!
Charlie Bekham is the tattooed bad boy & hot FBI agent who is one dirty talker! His mission becomes to make Rylan see just how beautiful and loved she is.
Rhyan Riggs - Strong and determined FBI agent who is a great profiler. I loved her quirky random fun facts. Her ex took away her confidence and she is working hard to regain peace in her life again and move forward.
Together they were amazing characters. I loved their banter and easy relationship overall. They had smoking hot chemistry and I couldn't wait to see them get their HEA. The twisty and suspenseful storyline kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know who was responsible. One I highly recommend and can 100% be read as a standalone. The author did a great job bringing to light exactly what information was needed but making me curious about previous books in this series.
Maxine Mitchell and Teddy Hamilton were a great pairing for this audiobook. Their voices worked really well for Charlie and Rhylan and their pacing was great. A very enjoyable and entertaining listen that I highly recommend!

A great romantic suspense in audio
This was a great romantic suspense–suspenseful, romantic, and hot. What else do you need?
Both Charlie and Rhyan are victims of prejudice–being a woman, Rhyan isn’t always taken seriously as an agent, and Charlie’s appearance, sexy and tattooed, leads people to think he’s just out for a good time, and not good at his job. Maybe this common ground is the reason why they understand each other, and why they respect each other.
Rhyan is still dealing with a previous relationship that ruined her self esteem and gave her permanent anxiety. Her backstory is really important, as her working with Charlie will force her to grow and change. And her past affects her work–just not always in a bad way.
Though the book focuses more on Rhyan’s character arc, Charlie was equally interesting. Besides the objectification he deals with, he also has a tragic past, one that shaped the man he is, which in turn led to struggles against his superior. He too is going to change, thanks to Rhyan.
Their love story, from attraction and crush, to coworkers and friends, to passionate lovers, progresses fast, but without skipping a step. Through their interactions, both professional and personal, you can actually see their relationship evolving.
As for the suspense, it was well done. I love a good serial killer story, and this one was even better as there’s doubt at the beginning regarding the deaths–murders or suicides? The investigation sometimes relies on coincidences or happy mistakes, but mostly it’s thorough and gripping. I loved that there was a third person in the team, Bryson, as a buffer and a sounding board, impacting Rhyan and Charlie’s personal and professional relationship.
Narrators are two of the best out there, and once again they show their talent. The emotions are on full display, and it’s a pleasure to listen to them giving life to Charlie and Rhyan. A great romantic suspense in audio.

Loved it!
I loved the narrators Teddy Hamilton and Maxine Mitchell, I mean you can’t do better than these two. I love how Teddy can tell a story and never sounds like reading. He is able to capture personalities, voices, and emotion so well and enjoy the sound of his voice. Maxine has an awesome male voice, and she’s also great at conveying emotion and personality. Narrators are a huge part of choosing an audiobook and can’t go wrong here.
The story itself kept me engaged and wanting to know what would happen next. I loved the two main characters personality and quirkiness. This is more of a police procedural and I really enjoyed that. This book is sweet, very spicy, 🔥 and yet has depth in showing their relationship grow. Happy Ever After. 😍

Totally Addictive.!!
OMG I Love Kennedy L Mitchell this series is Brilliant and Mine To Keep is absolutely enthralling,I could not get enough.
I listened to the audiobook of this story and I honestly couldn't stop listening to it,I was grabbing every single moment to listen to it,even ignoring Netflix and my shows preferring to listen to this book instead.Because it just gripped me and held my attention until the end.
I Love Charlie,he is freaking Amazing with his tattooed badboy persona and no nonesense cocky attitude,women fall at his feet.He is asked to work on a case of a string of woman suspicously commiting suicide in Louiseville Kentucky.His volatile boss refuses to take the case until special agent and profiler Rhyan Riggs intervenes and these two end up travelling to Louiseville to work the case together.
Rhyan is running away from a bad relationship and her EX will not leave her alone,he emotionally abused Rhyan and now she is a shy,insecure woman because of his manipulation.
As they spend all their time together Charlie soon sees that Rhyan is an incredible woman with a brilliant mind and quirks that are cute and draws him into her orbit.
Rhyan has a huge crush on Charlie and realises there is more to him than just a pretty face,tattoos and a gorgeous body.He is a great listener and understanding,sexy and sweet and not a grumpy bad boy at all.He is also a whizz with a computer and can hack into anything.
The sexual tension between these two crackles like electricity,two live wires ready to explode that slowly burns throughout the book.
I Love Charlie and the way he just appraised Rhyan he said all the right things to boost her confidence and make her see how wonderful she is.
With a serial Killer on the loose and a stalker Ex boyfriend trying to get her back,there seems to be danger at every turn as both Rhyan and Charlie try to solve the murders and come to terms with their feelings for one another.
Arghhhh this book is Fantastic on the edge of your seat stuff which is PERFECTLY Narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Maxine Mitchell....These two talented people just blow me away every single time I hear a story they put their voices too.They are truly Amazing in every single way reeling me in with their seductive Vocals.I Love them both.
Mine To Keep is a must read,if you love your romance with a bit of suspense and a really great murder mystery storyline then this book is for you.
I Blinkin Loved it,Kennedy L Mitchell is a fantastic storyteller and I can't wait for the next book.
EXCELLENT.

loved
I loved the dual narration of Teddy Hamilton and Maxine Mitchell. They both bring out the action, pace, humour and the make the characters come to life in your ears.
FBI profiler Charlie has that bad boy vibe with piercings, tats, muscles and hot, he wants a meaningful relationship with a woman.
Special Agent Rhyan is a brilliant and independent woman . But outside of work she is shy, insecure and inexperienced woman. Whose he the past been beaten down emotionally by her ex .
Charlie and Rhyan travel to help his friends out with a serial killer. The two of them find an attraction to one another.
Charlie is so patient with Rhyan. Supporting and helping her build up her confidence.
Wonderful banter, characters and plot. A great romantic suspenseful story.

Stand alone suspense, great narration
Fun fact - This is the first book I've listened to in the Protection series. The story can be read as a stand alone. I liked that there was a lot of action mixed in with fun facts and real-life type elements (like kids interrupting phone calls). I would recommend the audiobook to other romantic suspense fans. The subtitle says dark romantic suspense, but I would call it very mild darkness. It was my first book by Kennedy L Mitchell, though she's been on my TBR list for awhile. I'm interested in listening to the rest of the series.
The audiobook is narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Maxine Mitchell. Both of their performances were great and kept me engaged in the story. They're both very talented voice actors.
I received a copy of the audiobook at my request, and the opinions here are my own.
