She’s the one who got away. He’s the boy she can’t forget… CherylThey say you never forget your first love, but I’m determined to prove Keven Kennedy is just a random boy from my past. It’s not like I still think about him after all this time. Or daydream about how hot his kisses were and what it felt like to have his hands on my skin.Nope, that’s not me. I’m in a happy place in my life. Engaged … skin.
Nope, that’s not me. I’m in a happy place in my life. Engaged to a great man and finishing the last year of my photography degree.
But since I returned to Massachusetts, everything reminds me of the boy who ripped my heart to shreds. Especially when my fiancé’s constant business trips, and dwindling attention, raises old fears to the surface.
And then the unthinkable happens—Keven saunters back into my life, turning it upside down once more.
It’s ironic he thinks he’s protecting me when the only one I need protecting from is him.
Keven
They say you never forget your first love. In my case, it’s true. Most everyone in high school thought Cheryl and I were a match made in heaven and that nothing could tear us apart. Until I messed up spectacularly and lost the best thing to ever happen to me.
Years have passed, girls have come and gone, but no one has laid claim to my heart in the way Cheryl did.
I thought she was lost to me forever when an unexpected encounter with an uptight FBI agent, and an intriguing proposition, brings the beautiful blonde back into my life.
I didn’t hesitate to sign on the dotted line.
I let Cheryl down once before. I’m not going to fail her this time.

Forgiving Keven is an unforgettable second chance romance story with a well-thought out plot that keeps you interested and great characters. Siobhan Davis weaves a story of heartbreak, suspense, forgiveness, sizzling chemistry, danger, twists, turmoil, lots of feels, and love.
I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.
Yay!!!! Finally we get to see what the heck happened to Keven and cheryl! My oh my is this one filled with suspense, adventure, and one amazing Kennedy brother determined to save his lost love. Can he open her eyes to the crazy danger she’s in? Can he possibly win her back? Most of all, can be persuade her to realize what she thought happened isn’t exactly what occurred? Like all Kennedy brothers before him Kev has a massive white knight complex, and heaven help ANYONE that keeps him from saving his girl. Family is at the heart of this read….like all this series. Three cheers for Keven!!!
A second chance for Keven with his High School Sweetheart Cheryl (FMC) comes with lots of complications some that are dangerous. Cheryl’s character is a genuinely sweet one if a little naive at the start of this book but through the course of it she gets wiser as well as stronger which is great to read. As is the push and pull of her and Keven. Forgiveness and Trust being a major factor for Cheryl. Another great read in this series. Ive yet to read a bad book so far theyre all so good!
Another hit for author Siobhan Davis! She knows how to write a family’s story and in a way that will continue to have you falling for her characters and their twisted reality. This time around we get Keven Kennedy and Cheryl Keeland’s second chance romance.
At the end of Seducing Kaden (The Kennedy Boys #6) we get a snippet (YOU CAN read this book and others as a standalone) of what is to come for Keven. His book starts off with that glance where he did not hesitate sign on the dotted line to work for the FBI and the reason behind it was due to his first love, Cheryl.
One obstacle is that Cheryl is currently engaged and finishing her last year in photography. When Keven unexpectedly comes back in her life feelings for him surfaces but the past is something that she cannot get over. Back then she was left clueless on why they had come to the point of breaking up. Keven has his work cut out for him in explaining what happened in the past and why he is in her life again. The challenge…when working for the FBI there are limited on what you can and cannot disclose and he has to take alternate measures to prove that Cheryl is and always have been the one for him.
This was a page turner kind of read where you do not know what will happen next. It was filled with mystery and suspense along the way with two people whose chemistry is still strong even after years has passed. The risk is whether more is possible especially considering who Cheryl is engaged to and Keven’s line of work. Also we continue to get the strong bond of this family in always being there for each other regardless of the situation. Sooo looking forward into reading more and falling deeper into The Kennedy family and their world.
Cheryl has moved on with her life. she is finishing her degree, and she’s engaged to marry a great guy. Keven is given an opportunity to save the only woman he has ever loved. He is part of the FBI now, and he is determined to help put the man Cheryl is engaged to in prison. Cheryl is not thrilled with Keven showing up in her life again, after all he is the one that destroyed their relationship in the first place.
Fascinating, compelling and well written characters. Cheryl and Keven will have to work through mistakes they both may have made in the past in order to start over. Exciting, action packed, and suspenseful. Fantastic romance, I loved it!
I am voluntarily leaving an honest and non-incentivized review of this ARC.
Siobhan Davis – The Kennedy Boys Bk 7 – Forgiving Keven – Reviewed 1/20/20 – 1/16-17/20
What would you do if you had even an outside chance of winning back the woman in your heart?
@ddeegott Keven Kennedy was one of the popular boys in high school, due to his family’s status. But for Keven there was only one girl for him, Cheryl was the most beautiful and sweet girl that he ever knew. When the unthinkable happened. Cheryl ran away, and Keven could not get to her to explain what she had seen. Years have passed, and no woman has ever taken her place.
Christmas is always time for the Kennedy’s to get together. When unexpected visitors arrived, it was the FBI, there with an arrest warrant for Keven. He had done things that were illegal. Even still Keven would have done it again, as it helped the FBI to the location where his brother and his wife were about to be killed. Arriving at the FBI headquarters, he remained silent waiting for the Kennedy lawyer to get there. While waiting, the lead SSA came in, giving Keven a take it or leave it offer. Viewing a video to help convince him to accept the offer, Keven saw something he thought he would never see again, Cheryl. Where do I sign, and that was the moment that Keven joined the FBI. Keven knew he would do anything to protect and keep Cheryl safe, and just maybe he could win her back again????
What did I like? The Kennedy boys are certainly handsome young men that get into so much trouble, some of them their own doings but most often it was just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The problem for them was the fact that they loved hard. When their heart is captured, it stays that way as they are all one-women men!! The other thing is that they would do anything to protect the women they love, even if the woman doesn’t even know that they are doing it. The other thing about every member of the Kennedy family is their closeness and protectiveness of their family. Something that this world around us has somewhat lost. Which is a darn shame!
What will you like? This is an action-packed, exciting and romantic book. It will capture your heart in the very beginning, and won’t let go till the last page turns. Then you will be wanting more. I have read all of the previous books, and I have already downloaded the next and final book that has been released. Thankfully though, it is not the last in the series. Sometime in the near future, another one is in the works. The characters are wonderful and adoring, except the crazy ones that do all the bad things. The storyline is amazing and brings to light something that is still a very serious problem in the real world. Many law enforcement agencies have steadily been fighting this war, but it still is overwhelming. We all need to keep our eyes open, and if you suspect anything off please report it to your local police. We all need to fight in this battle if we are to have a chance of stopping it!!!!! Excellent read, and keep a few tissues close for the beautiful writing that Siobhan does so well.

@ddeegott
This was beautiful, second chance romance. It gave me all the feels. I am loving all the characters.
This is another Kennedy Brothers story and this one is Keven’s. At the end of Kaden and Eva’s story, Keven was taken away by the FBI and they wanted him to work for them. He is a computer hacker and he is better than most of the hackers working at the FBI. So if you can’t beat the bad guys, then you try to hire them. And that is what the FBI has done.
Keven is stuck behind a desk keeping track of those fighting for Garcia’s turf. The mob wants it, the gangs, want is and I don’t think there is any bad guy who doesn’t want it. But the FBI has to stop the next group from taking over because they have to stop the flood of drugs, weapons, and sex-trafficking from crossing our borders.
While off work, Keven is keeping track of Cheryl, his high school sweetheart . and he can’t believe the feelings that have resurfaced since he has seen her again. He wants to keep her safe but he has to tread lightly because she may not believe him if he approaches her about her fiance.
Can they find the evidence to take down Cheryl’s fiance before he disappears? Will Cheryl believe Keven when he tells her what really happened in high school that broke them up?
This story is filled with suspense, intrigue, lost love, and second chances. I really liked Keven and Cheryl, their chemistry was so strong. I can’t wait to read more in this series, especially after reading the excerpt from Releasing Keanu at the end of this book.
**I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.**
Can you ever forget your first love? Well we have Keven Kennedy who proves to us that no you can never forget your first love especially when she is and always will be the girl in your heart. Cheryl was the one he let go and now that he knows she can be in danger he will do anything he can to get her back. What I love the most about Keven is though he did a lot of stupid things when he was young he knows this is his one last change to win her back even if it means revealing all his past mistakes. Now Cheryl, though has moved on has never forgotten about Keven even though from the outside her life seems perfect. The thing is all it takes is one look from him and all the feelings and questions come back full force. Siobhan Davis and the way she brings them together was definitely something Cheryl never expected to happen. Even though they are older and even a little smarter them denying the chemistry and feelings are gone was hillarious. One thing for sure is this is not your typical romance because come on it’s written by Siobhan Davis. We have some scenes that might not be easy to read but necessary in this book to really understand where Cheryl’s life has taken since Keven. Now them thinking what they had is gone was comical and man when they come together is just wow. We see more of the Kennedys and cannot wait to see Keanu, the twins and seeing Kyler and Faye was beautiful.

4 Forgiveness Crowns
I simply adore the Kennedy boys. I’ve been next level obsessed since I read Kyler’s trilogy all those years ago. And I’ve been patiently waiting for each of the boy’s stories to feed my obsession and give me my dose of Kennedy drama that I crave. Each of these boys is something else they are all Alpha, Dominant. Possessive Deliciousness wrapped in a gorgeous package. And I am here for it all!!!
“No other man has ever held power over my body like Keven Kennedy.”
This is the first of the Kennedys stories that Siobhan labeled as Romantic Suspense. So, I was so excited to get my hands on this baby. Romantic suspense is my jam. After reading her Rydeville Elite series I was pumped for Keven’s story thinking it would be along the same lines. And that was my mistake because where that series legit had you on the edge of your seat waiting with bated breath as to what was going to happen next. Keven’s story fell more along the lines of the others in this particular series. Yes, there was some suspense but not nearly as much as Rydeville, I felt like Keven’s story was more about the drama. Which is what I initially loved about the Kennedy’s in the first place. So, I kind of shot myself in the foot by comparing the two-separate series. Do yourself a favor if you’ve read both don’t compare, they are completely different…..
“The way he kissed me, touched me, held me, it was this all-consuming sensation. Every time it was infused with a silent “You’re mine,” and he always made me feel so safe and so loved.”
Having set the comparison aside, this book is absolutely entertaining. Siobhan once again draws you into her storylines with precision and holds you captive until the very end. Even though this could theoretically be read as a standalone, I wouldn’t recommend it as there’s a lot of interconnection with the other brothers.
“I’m bleeding before her, showing her every emotion on my face.”
The drama interlaced within this story will capture your attention and you will easily read this in one sitting. Desperately waiting to see what’s going to happen. The thing I love most about this series is watching these strong capable men evolve emotionally, they don’t hesitate to let their woman know what they feel for them. They easily cut themselves open and pour out their feelings, saturating them in their emotions.
“Her body is my shrine, and I worship at her altar, finding imaginative ways to bring her to new heights.”
Siobhan has created a completely addictive series that is filled to the brim with drama and angst. I love this series immensely and can’t wait for the next in line. She knows how to draw you in and hold you captive with her words, and at the end of each story your left completely satisfied and anxious for the next dose of Kennedy drama.
Love the Kennedy boys and this awesome series. Siobhan does it yet again with another great book. Second chance romance that will keep you addicted.
Keven is absolutely EVERYTHING a girl could want! Sexy, smart and protective of every single person he loves!
Even though her and Keven broke up years ago, Cheryl is no exception. Events that happened senior year broke them apart and neither has forgotten the other.
The chemistry is off the charts between these two and as the danger that Cheryl has landed herself in escalates Keven does everything he can to protect her. Watching Keven come into his own was amazing, finding a career that uses what he excels at.
This Kennedy brother sucked me in from the first page and I read every bit in one sitting. I just couldn’t put it down.
Each book I read into this series gives me glimpses of past Kennedy couples and the rest of the Kennedy clan. It’s one of the things I love most about series.
I love those Kennedy’s boys and Keven is no exception! He’s swoony, hot, and alpha all the way!
Forgiving Keven is a second chance romance full of steamy, laugh out loud moments with lots of action. Cheryl is the girl that got away for Keven when they were seniors in high school. A bunch of stupid decisions that led to one major mistake from Keven that cost him the love his life. Keven decides to work for the FBI at the end of Kaden’s book and Cheryl is the reason why.
Keven and Cheryl no matter the time, or the heartache between them their chemistry jumps off the page from the very first time they see each other again. Cheryl is engaged to someone she doesn’t truly know. Keven has made it his mission to open her eyes, keep her safe, and win her back. But sometimes old wounds still bleed so Keven’s work is cut out for him.
With the Kennedy Boys series they seem to get more action filled with each one. Drug lords, FBI, human trafficking, Forgiving Keven is action packed and at some points had my heart racing. This steamy, action filled, second chance romance was absolutely amazing.
I’m once again left needing the next book in the series to get here. Siobhan Davis is amazing at leaving us needing more.
If you enjoy Second Chance Romances, you’re in for a treat with Siobhan Davis‘ Forgiving Keven (The Kennedy Boys, Book 7). Add in another delicious Kennedy boy (the eponymous Keven), a most love – Cheryl Keeland – thanks to stupidity way back in the senior year of high school, suspense that keeps you turning pages as fast as you can and a great cast, plot, and -of course(!) – writing. The result is pure delicious fun you’re sure to love.
So if you know what’s going on with these boys then you k ow that Keven is this guy who have up what he wanted most in life and after years of not getting what he wants he says no more. The love of his life is running for her life and he saves her and himself in the process. I can’t wait to see how the last few brothers fare. I give it 5 stars.
Forgiving Keven is it stand-alone book it’s about Young Love heartache and second chances. We meet Keven on this well-written book at the beginning learning that he’s currently working with the FBI in exchange for some things he messed up with teenage years instead of going to jail they offered him a position to help them. But before all that he was dating Cheryl everything was going perfect until it wasn’t and one fateful night changed their future forever oh so we thought. This book is definitely full of the feels and you can really see that Siobhan Darkrai time writing the story because it feels like you can feel the emotion of every character in the book. But that’s no surprise when it comes to Siobhan and her writing abilities she never seems to amaze me any less but each book I read by her. In the story Cheryl is faced with the reality that her fiance is not who she thinks he is and could very well be in great Danger if you don’t get away from him. Also we find that Keven has been keeping tabs on her throughout the years and it comes to a point where he is back in her life due to investigations going on with her fiance. Keven is determined to protect Cheryl at all cost and that is exactly what he does. I could not stop reading this book once I started and I love the fact that they finally get their happily ever after in the end. You definitely should check out this book and the whole series because the Kennedys are amazing to read about.
Forgiving Keven hooked me from the start with the intriguing story line of Keven being offered up the chance to work for the FBI in exchange for charges being dropped against him, all while he tries to protect the one that got away. Yes please!!!
This book was full of action and mystery and suspense. I read the book in one sitting as I could not put it down. I really enjoyed Keven and Cheryl as the main characters. You could feel their chemistry through the pages, and despite the time that passed, it was almost like no time had passed at all in some ways.
I loved how fiercely protective Keven was of Cheryl and how much he wanted to keep her safe. I think she was a little too naive at times which would be my one criticism of the book but otherwise I found the book to be very engaging and highly enjoyable and I would definitely recommend it. I also enjoyed the little snippets of the other members of the Kennedy family that were given throughout the book.
Keven Kennedy!! Finally, the big, strong, silent, tattooed, always working behind the scenes and protecting his family brother. I don’t know what it is about a big, strong, sexy, super smart man, but holy hotness…I’ve been waiting for Keven’s story and I absolutely loved that his story is one about his high school love.
Siobhan did not disappoint in giving us everything in Forgiving Keven. It is filled with suspense, great chemistry, fabulous family moments, and a dramatic ending.
Keven has always had a huge heart, he may not have said how he feels, but he has always shown it by how he protects his family. It was actually protecting his older brother Kaden that led him to current mess he’s in now, but also back into the world of his high school sweetheart, Cheryl, where he’s working for the FBI but also investigating Cheryl’s fiance.
Without coming across as a jealous ex, Keven has to let Cheryl know she’s engaged to a very dangerous man without screwing up the FBI’s investigation. This wasn’t exactly something he ever thought he’d have to navigate when he pictured the woman he loved back in his life.
While this entire series is read best all together, if you didn’t read any others Forgiving Keven would be best if you at least read with Kade’s book first, just because these two brothers are close and their stories weave nicely together.
Keven and Cheryl are another HOT and intense relationship of the Kennedy Brothers. I was hooked from the start. The attraction and chemistry between the two and the support and love if the Kennedy clan are not to be missed!
*I was given a copy and am voluntarily giving my honest review.
This is Kevin and Cheryl’s story and Siobhan didn’t let us down. This is a second chance romance with all the twist turns and suspense that she is known for in her books. I love how she makes it so the reader can’t wait for the next page. Kevin truly is one of my favorite Kennedy Brothers. He’s so loyal and loves hard. He’d lay Down anything for those he loves and he never stopped loving Cheryl and couldn’t ever truly move on from her.
