Refusing Kendall (White Trash Trilogy #2) by Brandy Slaven
I received this book from a friend.
WHAT!! This book has so much going on with so many twists and turns. #Anxiety #Stress #MakeUpSex
So our girl, Kendall has gone off to college with her Quad of boys, Mav, T, Goose and Lucas. They all rent a house but due to football, they must live in the dorms. Kendall is surviving in a haunted house all by herself. She is so funny with talking to a perceived ghost in her house but it seems maybe a ghost it isn’t buutttt something much worse………….*Que ominous music*
The Quad and Kendall seem to be in a good place until someone starts to stalk our girl and her Quad. We start to have a little bit of anxiety for our new family. We see them connecting but we also start to see some stress in the family bond. One of the guys gets hurt in a game and his past comes to haunt him plus one of the guys maybe, possibly strays from Kendall *Gasp* Say it isn’t so….we start to see doubt and hurt creeping into our hearts. Dude I was just as sad as Kendall!! But God love her for never giving up on her guys or their family.
The twists and turns are SPECTACULAR I this book. I would also like to add that the “Loving” scenes are also SPECTACULAR in this book *wink wink* but the end of the story when some bad things happen to our girl…….my heart was on the floor. The guys really rally to help her and fix this family and holy shit do they ever find the perfect way to fix everything!!!
Loved this book.
So I couldn’t stop listening to Refusing Kendal once I got started. It felt like reading a whole new story, even though I have read it and its sequel already haha. I will say I was shocked by the narrator change but it was alright in the end!
Story: I really enjoyed this story because Brandy does such a great job making you feel and pull for these characters. I appreciated (I cant say love because my heart kept breaking each time) seeing the discord between the 5 of them, because in real life relationships are all unicorns and rainbows. There will be tough times and arguments and needed time apart. I think Brandy handled the various events very well (no I wont spoil them for you!) and I liked some things not expected. One of my only complaint is how naive Kendall was and kept saying the incidents with the lights was because of her friendly ghost. Like, you were assaulted by your parents’ people from jail and Goose was hurt, why wouldn’t you be suspicious of lights randomly turning on and off in the house. I also kinda got mad that Kendall had to keep apologizing to the guys, mostly T, when they messed up. Like the holy bra strap, ok a little out of proportion but the gym incident…totally not. Very justified. And Kendall felt the need to apologize. Besides those couple things I absolutely adore this series. I think my heart just about died when the thing with Goose and then at the big even at the end. I loooooved the individual dates, and when Mav finally told her he loved her. I cant wait to see what other combos they have in the bedroom because towards the end it was getting VERY interesting haha . I am dying for book 3 on audio already haha.
Narration: I had listened to Rosalie in one of Brandy’s other audiobooks and I enjoyed her rendition. I will say I like the original narrator better for Kendall but liked Rosalie better with the guys. I was irked with the previous narrator when she depicted Goose, but I thought Rosalie did a fantastic job with all the male characters. Sometimes I thought she portrayed Kendall a little too naive, because Kendall kicks some serious butt and doesn’t go down without a fight and Rosalie’s voice doesnt really lend itself to being naturally a BA female (more sweet, with the adorable lisp, etc.). I would have like to have heard her get more angry/more assertive and try to bring that element to the story. Love everything else about it, definitely earned herself 4 stars!
Everyone should be getting this on audio, its fantastic! Definitely didn’t disappoint and makes me checking daily for Book 3 to be released
Book two in this amazing trilogy, I was glued to the page and did not want this story to end. Kendall and her guys are now at college and things change for them again, between school and football their lives are busier and relationships are hard to balance with so much at stake.
Like book one, this book is so beautifully written, the writer pulls you in completely, I feel very invested in the characters, each character has their own story, their own personality and their own fears, they mesh beautifully enhancing the amazing storyline. This is a book I will read over and over again, there is romance, excitement twists and turns and I am so very eager for the third and final book in this outstanding series
While I liked book 1 a bit more, this was a great continuation to the series. I loved seeing our five characters again. I’m so excited for book 3!
I received this book for an honest review.
I enjoyed this book as much as I did Reviving Kendall. There were so many twists and turns. This one had my emotions all over the place I found myself laughing one minute then angry the next.
I loved seeing the relationships develop between Kendall and her guys. We learn more about their pasts and how their relationship works. Even though they have been together for a while there is still a lot they are still trying to learn about each other and dealing with trust issues. The boys are trying to juggle playing college ball and making time for Kendall. Kendall is living in the “haunted house” as she says while the boys live in the dorms. I have to say I was disappointed in Teagan at one point in this book and Kendall had me shaking my head every time she would make comments about the stupid girl that dies in the horror movies then she would do it anyway.
The drama and angst had my heart beating erratic. The ups and downs and seeing what everyone when through in this one had me turning the pages to see what was going to happen next. I cannot wait for the next one.
A few of my favorites:
No matter how crazy shit gets around here, these are the moments that keep us sane and more importantly, together.
His smile turns soft, “You can call me whatever you want, as long as I get to see that beautiful face.”
Reality says that I am the biggest hypocrite on the planet for wanting to keep them all for myself, but my heart says that reality can stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.
“Kendall,” Teagan starts, “Ever since you threw my money back at me in the restaurant, you’ve had me wrapped around your finger. I went stupid there for a bit, but I don’t want to make the same mistake and give you he chance to get away again.”
