When the past rears its ugly head, shattering everything, will there be anything left of her heart to protect?
Oh my! A definite must read! And a definite Top 10 of 2020!
I’m speechless. My emotions are all over the place and my nerves are wrecked, this is what a wonderful, brilliant book does to you! Now…I need a minute…going to sit in the corner and try and recover.
Flawless. Flawless story. Flawless characters. Flawless writing.

While reading the other books you can not help but think that Kent is a jerk, I mean jerk is actually a good term for him. In this book, the old saying rings true-never judge a book by its cover. What you see on the outside of Kent is not want is really going on inside. While he lets Presley into his world, the reader actually gets to see the more softer side of Kent. This book is a roller coaster of a ride but the ending is a sweet release. Epic conclusion to this series!!
I received an ARC and I am leaving my honest review!
That was such a good book. Once again you get all the angst you come to expect from Siobhan Davis.
This book approaches some sensitive subjects but as always Siobhan approaches them tastefully and with respect. I felt like that when I read Surviving Amber Spring which was so difficult to read and yet so worth it.
Kent. I adored Kent – I think he even became my favorite Kennedy (God forbids) – he is made of what unforgettable heroes are made of. Broken, tough but also so passionate and loving.
I liked Presley too and despite her hard past she was so relatable. These two together were just perfect and so flipping hot.
The story will take yo on a flipping emotional ride so make sure your seat belts are on.
All in all a great story and maybe even my favorite of the series.
What a brilliant end to the series.
Oh boy, Kent’s story will surely have you wanting to go and hug and kiss away all he darkness that has been plaguing him.
So sad to see the end of this family as they have kept me entertained for a while.
Wonder if there will be a spin off to see what happens to Tiffany.
This book is an awesome, emotional, and oh so satisfying conclusion to the Kennedy Boys series. Kent is the baddest of the bad boys. Over the course of the series, he has grown from boy to man. He’s been unlikable, mean, and hurtful to others throughout, but in this book, he finds his heart in the beautiful, feisty Presley. I really like Presley (who is not without issues of her own) and the way she is able to look beyond the surface to the broken man underneath. The love they have for each other is something really special but they must deal with one blow after another, including Kent coming to terms with the past. The road to their HEA is a bumpy one but so worth it!
I really loved Kent’s book. It ranks right up there with my favorite storyline of the series, that of Kyler and Faye. I was completely caught up in the story from beginning to end. Siobhan Davis is an incredible storyteller and this is my one of my favorite book series. Reforming Kent is a fitting goodbye to this crazy, dysfunctional, loveable family. I will miss them.

Reforming Kent (The Kennedy Boys #10) by Siobhan Davis was an emotional 5 star read.
I was pulled in right from the beginning, I was so excited to get started on Kent’s story.
My emotions were all over the place.
Kent ends up meeting Presley at the bar. He is immediately drawn to her but due to his reputation she keeps pushing him away. He is determined to get a date to get to know her more and finally after several attempts and lots of surprises she agrees to go out with him.
The longer they spend time together the closer they get. Kent was super sweet to Presley, there was something about her that made him want more than just a one night stand.
Presley has had a rough childhood, she was in foster care and now is working towards a goal of having her own tattoo shop someday. She’s very leery of Kent at first but he grows on her.
All I can say from here is hold on because we get so many unexpected twists and turns from both characters and their pasts that my head was spinning. Just when I thought things were good something else would happen. My emotions were all over the place and I had some ugly cry moments. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story, I loved seeing all the brothers and wives to see how they were all doing. Just one big family. If you’re looking for a great series that feels like your part of the family and get to know each couple to the fullest extent 1-click and get started today on this series. This has quickly become one of my must read series for 2020.

Reforming Kent is the tenth title in the Kennedy Boys series.
Kent has a hard earned reputation as the black sheep of the Kennedy clan. He’s the trouble maker who dabbles in drugs, alcohol and women to excess in order to numb his pain.
Presley is a strong, resilient and sassy bartender and art student who is Kent’s perfect match.
Kent is bold, brash, rude, charming, reckless and thoughtful. He’s damaged and intriguing, but also completely unapologetic for his life choices. Much of Kent’s destructive behavior is a cry for help as he’s been ignored, and has a deep seated vulnerability and is incredibly strong. Kent’s story is emotional, heartbreaking and full of angst.
Whist certain aspects of this title were predictable, others were completely surprising and it was the twists and turns that kept me completely enthralled.
Overall another captivating addition to the Kennedy Boys series.
The end… never fun to witness and no different with a series.
I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the Kennedy’s and probably still not… rereads are on the horizon.
Kent has always been there… in the background… causing stress and drama from the beginning to the end.
Knowing the reason… heartbreaking and explained so much.
Siobhan, as always, handles tricky scenes with respect and love. I’ll always be a fan.
Don’t start here if you are new, go back to the beginning And meet Kyler first and go from there.

Whew! Siobhan Davis is such an amazing author! I am so in love with this book! Kent and Presely’s story was awesome! What a way to end a series! I started this and had to finish it in one sitting! This book was everything I wanted and needed it to be!
OMG it is so good It needs more stars. I loved how he approached her at the bar. He was a player and he admitted it. He has some issues and deep secrets that is about to destroy everything he is and everything. He makes her feel special and she allows him into her life. They are perfect together. She has a secret in her life as well.
YOU will be shocked about everything you find out upon reading this book

Wow, so that was definitely what you’d call a stunning conclusion of the series.
I confess, I haven’t read all the books in The Kennedy Boys but I’ve read about half of it and now it all makes sense.
I had my suspicions about what happened to Kent in the past but I couldn’t pinpoint exactly when and who made him that way. I honestly did not expect that plot twist. He was my most disliked Kennedy boy and now after reading his story, he’s now my favorite.
People should always look beyond the surface. There is always a story behind every @$$hölë or bîtçhy behavior…
This is a story about two people finding a real connection in this chaotic and twisted world… both Presley and Kent have gone through so much in their young lives… I can’t even begin to imagine… this is a story about resilience and finding love in a hopeless place—as what Rihanna sang.
This book might trigger you because it talks about all the abuse you can think of—drug, physical, mental, emotional… etc. so please read with caution.
I can’t believe the Kennedy Boys series is officially complete I had mostly stopped reading for a few years and Finding Kyler is what got me back into reading multiple books/week. There was just something so special about the story that sucked me right in and Reforming Kent is no different.
I’ve been looking forward to Kent’s story since the beginning and it sure lived up to my expectations. When he loves, he loves hard. Thankfully, Presley is worth all of that love. She is probably the only woman out there that could handle Kent!
I think Kent and Presley are my favorite Kennedy couple after Faye and Kyler. They are both broken yet so strong and are able to help out each other back together.
There are some sensitive topics in this book but Siobhan tackles them perfectly. Make sure you have your tissues ready and cancel your plans for the day because once you start you won’t want to put this one down!

I simply adore all the Kennedy boys and Kent was so wonderfully complex and jaded I just wanted to hold him!!!! Must read in order but oh so worth it!
Its a bittersweet end to the Kennedy boys series for sure but I think the best was saved for last! I have been anticipating Kent’s story for ages it seem and Siobhan once again did not disappoint! He was always a playboy, never wanted or cared to have relationship..bad boy trouble maker! So I couldn’t wait to dive in to see what really was going on in his head and what he is really dealing with, also couldn’t wait to see what bad ass girl could tame this bad boy’s heart!! In true Siobgan fashion this book will crush you, make you ugly cry, bring all the angst, but will alway make you fall in love and put you all back together again! This is one the best books of love and redemption and a perfect end to this series! So happy to know Kent got his happy ever after! Ahh I am going to miss these boys so so much!!
5 Stars from Robyn
In this series, Kent was always so intriguing, arguably the most intriguing brother of the Kennedy Family, and I can assure everyone you will want to read and know all about him. I will warn you it isn’t all pretty and it’s actually quite explosive but it explains why Kent has struggled for so long and why he tried to escape with his vices.
Meeting Presley was an instant change up for Kent but also a huge challenge, just what he needed. He is very intelligent and has the ability to be so very caring yet projects a much different persona. Presley is a confident, focused, and caring young woman who is working towards her goal in life. Together they have amazing chemistry and more in common in a way than originally thought. Both have ‘issues’, for want of a better word, that steer them in their life courses but I won’t say any more to spoil it.
This book was quite intense but it totally hooks you in and you’re absorbed till the very end. You experience all of the emotions with the characters, you can’t help but become wrapped up in them and what happens. I can’t recommend this book or series enough.

What a way to end a series.
The last but by no means the least.
This story was well worth waiting for, both Kent and Presley were troubled souls with darkness from the past kept hidden underneath snarky attitudes and hard exteriors.
Their chemistry was explosive and they quickly fell for one another but true to Siobhan’s style she threw obstacles in their way that tested and tried the feelings they had for each other.
Love prevails and Presley absolutely reforms the seemingly untamable Kent in a heartwarming but angst-filled love story.

What a perfect ending to an amazing series. This story answered questions that were referenced in each Kennedy Boys books. I love the strong characters in each of these stories. The family dynamic is finally coming back together as it should be. Kent and Presley are forced to deal with their demons and coming out stronger in the end. The Kennedy’s are proof that love can conquer all. 4 stars
5 Beautiful Stars!!!
What a beautiful ending to a beautiful series! It is bittersweet because I loved the Kennedy boys, but Kent’s emotional and powerful story is the perfect ending to one of the best series ever written.
It was bittersweet for me to read this book knowing it was the end of this great series Siobhan has given to us! Kent’s story was one I was looking forward to reading since I read Kyler’s books and it definitely lived up to my expectations. It was heartbreaking to learn why Kent was the way he was, but it added so much clarity and depth to his story. Presley was the perfect match for him and I loved her fierceness as an individual and also how they balanced each other out so well. Incredible, gut-wrenching story and the perfect way to end this amazing Kennedy series!
Amazing!
What a fantastic way to wrap up this outstanding series, I have loved every book and this one was no exception!
Kent and Presley have a beautiful relationship. The emotions their story gives you are so raw and gut wrenching, and you hang off every word Siobhan writes.
After seeing Kent’s downspiral in the previous books, it was a exciting to finally get to read his story and find out the truth.
I am so overwhelmed with emotion that this is the end, but i loved this series and will re read for sure in future. I will always have The Kennedy Boys in my heart.
