This box set includes four standalone new adult romances in the highly-addictive Kennedy Boys series from USA Today bestselling author, Siobhan Davis, and is over 1,100 pages of heart-stopping drama, intriguing twists and turns, and emotional, angsty romance. No cliffhangers. Dual POV. All books end with a HEA. BOOKS IN THIS COLLECTION: Loving Kalvin – standalone friends-to-lovers second-chance … – standalone friends-to-lovers second-chance romance
I knew it would end in disaster, but I didn’t listen to reason. I didn’t care. Because I loved him so much.
Kalvin Kennedy ruled my heart.
Until he destroyed it.
Shattered it so completely that I became someone else. Someone I loathed. Someone who repeatedly lied to her loved ones.
So, I ran.
From him. From myself. Desperate to hide my new reality.
But I could only run so far.
Saving Brad – standalone enemies-to-lovers romance
I need to escape.
To put as much distance between me and that monster so I can start living my life.
Yet, even the vast Atlantic Ocean isn’t enough to sever the connection. To allow me to forget how he’s ruined me. His hold is more than just physical. He has a vise grip on my head and my heart, and I can’t breathe, can’t think, can’t function.
So, I do everything to blot it out.
Until he reappears in my life.
Brad McConaughey. So hot. So infuriating. So in love with my best friend.
Every word out of Brad’s mouth makes me want to throat punch him or kick him in the nuts.
But he makes me feel, and I hate him for it. A part of me might actually love him for it.
Seducing Kaden – standalone forbidden romance
When I was a little girl, I dreamed of falling in love. The all-consuming sweep-you-off-your-feet kind of love I swooned over in movies.
It didn’t take long for that fairytale notion to come crashing down around me. Now I’m trapped in a marriage I despise with no way out.
The only light in the dark is Kaden Kennedy—the one true love of my life. He doesn’t know he is, because I’m forced to love him from afar, condemned to toss and turn at night, crying over everything I want and all I can never have.
Seeing him day in, day out, destroys me, but there’s no other choice; I had to push him away to keep him safe.
Because if my husband ever finds out I’m in love with one of my students, I won’t be the only one in danger.
Forgiving Keven – standalone second-chance romance
They 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 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.

This series is so addictive, having books 4 through 7 all at once (if you are late to the Kennedy Boys party like me) was heavenly. I couldn’t put the books down. I would tell myself, ok finish this book, and next thing it was an hour later and I’d started the next book in the series. Truly a rollercoaster of emotions and feels throughout the books, and definitely a series that holds you until the end. I can’t wait to ready books 8-10! These are a slam dunk.
Loving Kalvin: The fourth book in The Kennedy Boys series is a touching friends-to-lovers second chance romance with an awesome mix of heartbreak, lies, consequences, secrets, forgiveness, betrayal, trust, loss, regrets, loyalty, guilt, hot chemistry, and love. It is overflowing with so many feels. As with all the books in this series, I loved being caught up in the characters Siobhan Davis creates.
Saving Brad: I don’t have enough words to give a proper review of this book. Saving Brad is an unforgettable enemies-to-lovers romance that grabs you from the start and holds onto you till the very end. You are captivated, intrigued, consumed, and mystified. I love how the author has the ability to let her readers experience the journey of her characters right along with them and will have you cheering for them right from the beginning. Siobhan Davis weaves a story of drama, suspense, mystery, heartbreak, secrets, lies, undeniable chemistry, unexpected twists you don’t see coming, angst, and plenty of steam.
Seducing Kaden: Siobhan Davis weaves a tale of a forbidden student-teacher romance. This well written, fast-paced, action-packed emotional love story is packed with danger, heartbreak, drama, instant attraction, suspense, twists, angst, explosive chemistry, and plenty of steam.
Forgiving Keven: 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.
Continuing on with The Kennedy Boys Series the author still keeps us intrigued with her characters.
Loving Kalvin (The Kennedy Boys #4)
This friends-to-lovers second chance 5 stars romance between Kalvin and Lana Taylor was filled with so many feels. Two people from two different worlds where they had to keep their relationship on the down low. However, once things are out in the open the life they shared goes down hill. Secrets, accusations and courtroom drama and all. Is there hope after that?
There are new reveals between this couple that had me breaking and wishing for possibilities. Kalvin is my favorite Kennedy so far.
Saving Brad (The Kennedy Boys #5)
This time around we have the 4 stars story of Kyler’s best friend Brad McConaughey and Faye’s best friend Rachel O’Kelly’s enemies to lovers story.
The story will take you on a ride that will have you breaking for both Brad and Rachel. The want to see two broken people to have more in their lives. In order to do that they have to risk opening up and see that there is more to life than hiding behind feelings and actions. Their story was a saving grace and will have you believe that anything is possible.
Seducing Kaden (The Kennedy Boys #6)
Wow! My jaw is dropping and I am at a lost for words. The roller coaster of a 4.5 stars ride entailing a forbidden relationship between student, Kaden Kennedy and a married professor, Evelina Garcia will have your mind constantly spinning.
The whole time I was reading I was feeling the intense love between two people who could not get enough of each other but had to stay apart to protect the other. There were also many cringing moments where I was afraid to know what would happen especially towards the end. You knew something was brewing but did not know what would happen.
Forgiving Keven (The Kennedy Boys #7)
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.
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
This box sets was addicting from book to book. Sooo looking forward into reading more and falling deeper into The Kennedy family and their world
Loved every book in this collection and all of them in general. Id advise you to read Loving Kalvin with a box of tissues as it made me cry so be warned.
Saving Brad
I hated Brads arrogance at first but i loved how Rachel put him in his place. These two definitely spark together. A brilliant read
Seducing Kaden
Personally i didnt notice the age difference or maybe it was just the way it was written that Kaden came across older than his years. This book is slightly darker in this series but its no doubt just as good as the others
Forgiving Keven
A second chance book. I cant help but love Keven even though he made a mistake – big time! You really want him and Cheryl to work it out together. A great read
Oh boy these kennedy boys are definitely good reads. Everyone brilliant reads in their own right. So together in a box set is hours of keep you on the edge of your seats fun. Loved all of them
Book 4: Loving Kalvin
Loving Kalvin was everything I could have hoped for and more. I knew this story was going to be intense based on what was mentioned of Kalvin and Lana’s relationship in the previous Kennedy Boys books, but it far exceeded any expectations I may have had.
Without giving too much away, I will say that I really enjoyed both Kalvin and Lana as characters in this book and enjoyed that they seemed to mature and grow and learn from their past mistakes and work to right their wrongs, and I absolutely loved that they were able to reconnect and come out on the other side of all of their struggles and be able to have their HEA.
I think the author did an amazing job with Kalvin and Lana’s story and it is definitely my favorite in the series so far. I could not put it down and I didn’t want it to end.
Book 5: Saving Brad
WOW!!! Each book in this series just keeps getting better and better. I had a feeling Brad’s story was going to be emotional and angsty, but my goodness….so many emotions. Between Brad and Rachel this book was definitely a roller coaster of feelings and definitely the wildest of rides. Siobhan Davis did not skimp on the drama at all.
This book had ALL THE DRAMA. But on a serious note, Rachel’s very traumatic past was finally brought to light, and ultimately she was left with some peace and with a better relationship with her father and her friends. This book focuses a lot also on Brad and his feelings toward Faye and what is really behind them, and their impact on his current relationship with both Faye and Ky. I really enjoyed reading about the growth in Brad’s character as he addressed his own feelings and demons and worked to better himself and his situation and then became the man he needed to be, both for himself and for Rachel.
This book was well-written, full of twist and turns and had me fully engaged page to page. I cannot wait to see what the author has in store in the next book in the series.
Love “watching” the boys grow up and get their HEA
Five perfect stars for Kennedy Boys !!!
I am a big fan of Siobhan’s books, especially Kennedy Boys, so it isn’t that strange that I loved this boxed set!
I’ve read the first three books from this series about a month and I fell in love with Faye and Kyler’s story but I couldn’t wait to read books about other Kyler’s brothers.
For now, I’ve just read “Loving Kalvin” which is one more amazing book written by Siobhan Davis.
Lana and Kalvin’s relationship had a lot of ups and downs.
They knew each for a whole of their life.
At first the were just friends who loved to spend time together, but as they grow up things had started to change.
If you’re love reading romance that will shatter your heart but also make you smile, then this is the new boxed set that you MUST TO READ!
P.S. Reviews for the other three books are coming soon…
Their family is one of wealth and privilege, dark secrets and loyalty that runs deep. Their stories are told in the Kennedy Boys series and now books 4 through 7 can be found under one cover to enjoy page after page after page! From second chance romances to enemies to lovers romances, to forbidden love, each story is filled with flaming passions, gut wrenching pain and the iron wills of each featured character.
Hang on to your hearts, the emotional upheaval in each tale can be brutal as we follow both points of view in these new adult love stories as the Kennedy men fall for their soul’s missing links in a world filled with landmines of the heart.
I received a complimentary ARC edition from Siobhan Davis. This is my honest review.
Loving Kalvin
You may not see it before you read Loving Kalvin, but these two were made for each other. I believe this story can also be classified as a friends-to-lovers romance which is one of my favorites, and Siobhan weaves so many hilarious anecdotes throughout the story, giving us a perfect glimpse into their lengthy history. I am not sure if it is due to their longstanding relationship or not, but the chemistry between Kal and Lana is hotter than hot. There are some bumps in the road before they become intimate, and it is totally worth the wait.
Saving Brad
This was a very emotional read for me. We have witnessed Brad’s journey down the path of self-destruction for a while now, but this is when he hits rock bottom. We have also received clues regarding Rachel’s own issues, but this is when we find out the nitty-gritty, and I promise you all that it is dark and heartbreakingly sad.
Seducing Kaden
So far in this series we have encountered many taboo elements as well as highly dramatic scenarios, and Seducing Kaden is yet another. Teacher/student romance is one of my favorite romantic themes. Normally I go for the man being the hot professor but I loved the twist of the female being the teacher in this one. Eva is a lovely character who is so mature and endearing and Kaden is also quite mature and such a sweetheart. There is nothing dirty or even close to wrong with their love affair in my opinion.
Forgiving Keven
As with all the other books in this series, I absolutely loved this. The best part is being able to revisit our favorite characters in the series. I did not come from a large family, and the Kennedy dynamic is the perfect one to live vicariously through. The romance between Keven and Cheryl was steamy and thrilling with a little bit of humor sprinkled in.
*I received a free copy of this boxset which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
What a fantastic collection of romance novels!!! There are four complete stories back to back which ensures you do not have to stop reading for quite some time once you dive into this world of the sexy Kennedy brothers. Books 4-7 provide an excellent set of the boys making sure if you do not fall for one then surely another will work though each finds his own HEA after much drama, secrets, intrigue, and so much in true Davis fashion. An absolute must read for fans of dramatic yet intriguing romance novels. I totally loved them all so I give it 5/5 stars.
You can’t help falling in love with the Kennedy clan! If you’ve read the Kyler Collection, this box set brings you the stories of Ky’s younger brother Kal, best friend Brad, and older brothers Kaden and Keven. These four dudes may be all strong and sexy from the outside, but these books get you up close and personal with the deep and considerate man each is, as well as the amazing women they fall for.
Each book has its share of angst and complex story plots that kept me hooked from beginning to end. Although I have a sweet spot for Kal and Loving Kalvin was the story I cried most over, Seducing Kaden was by far the most nail-biting where I got to a point where I started doubting there would ever be a HEA for Eva and Kaden. Saving Brad was touching and matched the misunderstood best friends of Kyler and Faye, while Forgiving Keven is a second-chance romance which had me swooning for the mysterious Keven. As with the rest of the series, these are riveting, hot and steamy romances with twists that give your heart an emotional work-out! The best part? As soon as you finish one book, the next one is all set to go! Enjoy!
This is such an awesome collection of books!! The Kyler books are the first three books and introduce us to the Kennedy’s world. But this collection of books four through seven are all standalone books in that world, and they’re AMAZING!!!!
A quick overview of each one:
LOVING KALVIN is a friends-to-lovers, second chance romance. This is a beautiful romance. It’s about two soulmates finding their way back to each other. It’s about forgiveness, understanding and loyalty.
“If you love someone, really love someone, you stand by them, even when they’ve screwed up. Especially then. You forgive them for their mistakes”
SAVING BRAD is an enemies-to-lovers romance. This is about two people struggling. One with an outside monster making it so she can’t truly live her life, and the other from an inside monster keeping him from enjoying his life. These two enemies come together in a very powerful way. Don’t miss the twist & turns of suspense, or the amazing love story that overcomes all odds.
SEDUCING KADEN is a forbidden romance. Normally I don’t like to read books with cheating, because somebody is going to get hurt and I don’t enjoy reading about that. But when I’m reading about Eva, who had a terrible, loveless upbringing and was told at 14 that she would be marrying this older man and was forced into this loveless, abusive marriage. Now I can deal with reading about cheating.
Kaden adores Eva. He feels protective of her, and wants to help her. Eva adores Kaden. She won’t let him help, because she feels sure it will get him killed. This is a very emotional, passionate, intense love story!! Two hearts that are broken when apart, but have an intense connection when they are together. But the odds against them are so great, will they ever be able to really be together as one? Don’t miss this this beautiful, suspenseful love story!
FORGIVING KEVEN is a second chance romance. Keven never got over his first love from high school. He didn’t even date anyone after her. Then he sees her through FBI surveillance, where he works. They are trying to take down her fiancé. All Keven can think about is how he needs to protect Cheryl. Will Cheryl forgive Keven for the past? Can he protect her from her fiancé? Don’t miss the suspenseful twist and turns in this passionate book about a very sexy, protective FBI Agent and his first and only love!
“No one else ever measured up to you, and, even if I had found someone worthy, how could I be with her when I’m still madly in love with you?”
All these books have happy ever afters. The Kennedy Boys are a rare species of men, brothers who are always there for each other. We see this in the Kyler Collection and more so as each book goes along. Don’t miss out on these New Adult Romances that will keep your heart pounding long after you finish reading.
I am such a big fan of this series. The first box set focuses on Faye and Ky. This one contains the books for Ky’s brothers and friend Brad. I was so happy to get these stories and get to know more of this crazy/hot/fun family. I rated every one of these books five stars and had such a blast reading them. Check this box set out–you’ll love it!
Loving Kalvin: Does love at first sight exist? From age 3??? Lana believes it does. She has loved Kal Kennedy since she first met him when they were three years old. She readily admits her love can be obsessive and that her heart leads most of her decisions, both loving and hurtful, regarding her relationship with Kal.
Saving Brad: This is perhaps my favorite Kennedy Boys novel. Brad is struggling with past family events and his emotional response to them. Outwardly he tries to present a “do not care” attitude but inwardly he is the boy next door. In comes Rachel, Faye’s best friend from Ireland. Rachel is hiding a dark secret from her past. As both of them try to keep their secrets from the world, fate and chemistry provide a new and revealing path to freedom.
Seducing Kaden: Kaden is the next Kennedy brother that we get to know more of. Kaden is one of the older brothers in the family. On the first day of college, he meets Eva, the girl of his dreams, in a coffee shop. Arriving to his first class, he sees his dream girl in front of the class – teaching! Kaden is determined to find his own way rather than relying on his Kennedy name as he comes to grips with the family secrets. As a young married professor on track for tenure, Eva is determined to keep her record spotless and her private life private. As the academic years go by, they both learn that trusting a friend with a deep dark secret can lead to salvation and true love if given the opportunity. Siobhan Davis has once again provided a love story full of drama and suspense that keeps you reading straight to the end.
Forgiving Keven: Siobhan Davis has written another story you can’t put down! Forgiving Keven is the next Kennedy brother’s path to true love. When Keven hears that his first love is in danger, his protective nature leads him to join the FBI. From the first page to the last, the action is nonstop. I highly recommend this book.
As a member of the ARC Team, I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of these books.
Every one of the Kennedy boys has a unique story to tell, all tied together within the bonds of a family who loves one another fiercely. Kaden was my introduction to this amazing family and his story remains my favorite. Seducing Kaden is a brilliant gem of a book. Evelina (Eva) Garcia and Kaden Kennedy meet each other on the first day of school at Harvard. Eva gets bumped and has coffee spilled all over her clothing. Kaden, being the perfect gentleman that he is, does his best to help her clean up. They both felt an electric shock when they simply touched. Later that afternoon, Kaden walks in to his Principles of Economics class and, surprise, Eva is his teacher! This just might make for a fascinating semester for both of them. Eva struggles with the ethics of dating a student as well as being married. There are circumstances surrounding her marriage that are unbelievably hideous. Absolute anger and hatred surrounds her husband, Jeremy, and we slowly learn the extent to which she is traumatized. Kaden and Eva can’t resist each other and their relationship slowly grows. It’s a beautifully written psychological pairing as much as it is physical. Their conversations are filled with sensuality as well as quite a bit of humor. Honesty is at the center of their life together and, eventually, they have to face the truth. Eva is in extreme danger and Kaden has to save her so they can have a future. What a fascinating and well-constructed story.There are so many plot twists and new revelations about family and the secrets they’ve been keeping. You can’t help but fall in love with all the Kennedy brothers. Their love for one another is palpable and everybody should have a brother just like Keven! At the end, the family Christmas dinner in the Kennedy household is filled with even more surprises. Eva and Kaden have an announcement to make but his brother, Kyler and fiancée Faye, own the day! The final twist right before the last word of the epilogue is written, is perfect! The authorities have knocked on the door because Keven has gone too far. It’s time for him to face his crimes. Absolutely stunning…and flawless! This box set is a wonderful addition to the Kennedy Boys series.
This review is about the first book in this set LOVING KALVIN. The series as a whole is filled with ups and downs. Crazy but secrets within the family, and those that affect this tight knit family. A very well known family in the spotlight as long as they could recall as their mum runs a well known clothing line in the vein of Abbercrombie and Fitch. From childhood inn she’s used all her boys as models for the line. Money however doesn’t keep away pain or heartbreak. Take the plunge and fall in love with this tight knit, motley crew . Below is my review for book #4 in the series (and the first in this particular box set).
*********
Just, wow! Siobhan has a true talent of ripping your heart out and then making it burst from joy! You don’t have to have read books 1-3 in this series, however I highly suggest it to truly understand characters relationships, context and backstory. Lana is now at school in Florida hoping for a new start. She’s armed with a new last name and a false sense of feeling incognito. Little does she know that’s all an illusion. Though some time had passed since the trial, but her heart still yearns for Kalvin even though she knows they can’t ever be together again. The LAST thing she expected was to see him at a fraternity party. There’s all kinds of drama heartache, secrets and lies revealed…no shortage of excitement in this series! Siobhan never disappoints in any book of hers that I’ve yet to read!
LOVING KALVIN
5 Hearts
Loving Kalvin is the fourth book book in the Kennedy Boys series. You do not have to read the previous books in the series before you read this one but I do recommend it if you want the full story leading up to it. Plus they kicked ass. So there is that. If you did read the previous books then you know Kalvin and Lana’s relationship is a complicated one.
Kalvin and Lana have known each other since they were two years old. They formed an unbreakable bond since the day they met. They were best friends. They could be themselves around each other. Then high school started and things changed between them. They still cared but it was different. Kalvin hurt her. Lana turned around and hurt him. It hurt them. It hurt what could have been. What should have been. Now, it was time to heal. Hopefully, if Kalvin gets what he wants. What he needs. Her.
Lana doesn’t understand why Kalvin is here. She told him not to look for her. To stay away. It’s not only for her. It’s for him. She loves him but she doesn’t want the reminder of what she did. How much she hurt him. Is he here to ruin her in return? What she doesn’t understand is that he wants her back. To prove that they deserve a second chance. She can’t believe it. Why would he forgive her and will he again after what she has to say to him?
This series seriously hooks me in with every book. The stories are addicting! Kalvin and Lana’s story is much different than Ky and Faye’s. There isn’t as much family drama but there is drama. Just the perfect amount for these two. They might only be 17 and 18 years old but they are mature for their age. They both had to grow up fast for different reasons. I felt for them. I laughed with them. Cried with them. And was rooting for them. To forgive each other and themselves.
Overall…it’s a great addition to the series! The characters are well-developed. The drama sucks you in. The storylines are unique. I liked Kalvin before but I love him now. And Lana is his perfect match.
Quotes:
“You may think you still know me, but you don’t.”
No one does intense like Kalvin Kennedy.
“Dude, did you just growl? Like legit growl?”
SAVING BRAD
4.5 Hearts
Saving Brad is the fifth book in the Kennedy Brothers series. It is a standalone but if you want to get more background involving Brad then I recommend reading the previous books. Brad technically isn’t a Kennedy but he is Kyler Kennedy’s best friend and like a brother to him. The synopsis kicks ass so I will make this fast.
Rachel hates him but she wants him. Again. He gave her one hellava a ride eighteen months ago but she can’t go there. She is in America to start over. To concentrate on school. To stop drinking. To stop sleeping with random guys to numb her pain. She knows Brad would only make things worse since he is still in self-destructive mode. She knows she should stay away but she wants to help him even if he is being the biggest dickhead.
Brad wants to hate her but he can’t. She is too feisty and gorgeous to walk away from even if he knows it’s for the best. He doesn’t want to hurt her. He is in love with her best friend after-all. He wishes he wasn’t because it would make life so much easier. His life has been anything but easy over the last two years and he doesn’t want to complicate it anymore. But with Rachel back in the states he doesn’t know how it couldn’t be. He doesn’t go for seconds with any girl but with Rachel he wants to break his rule. Over and over again. Will he get his chance?
Brad and Rachel both have obstacles to conquer. They both have pasts that they don’t want to talk about. The both have been trying to numb their pains for the last few years with alcohol and sex. They understand one another. But can’t not fight when in the same room. It’s too much for them to admit how they really feel.
Overall…it’s crazy beautiful. It has twists. It has drama. It has triggers. It has heat. And it has love. I laughed, cringed, and was very close to crying. I thought it was an awesome addition to the series. You will get a sneak peek at what the next book is going to be about and omfg…I can’t wait!
Quotes:
“Look who came with,” Faye says to Rachel, wiggling her eyebrows as she stares at me.
I jerk my chin up, shoving my hands in my pockets. “Red.”
Her lips purse before speaking. “Dickhead.”
“I can’t believe you just stomped your foot. You’re really indulging your inner child tonight.” “Shut. Up. Dickhead.”
“Poor baby,” she teases, pinching my cheek. “Can’t handle a little rough play.”
SEDUCING KADEN
5 Hearts
Seducing Kaden is the sixth book in the Kennedy Boys series. You can read it as a standalone but I do recommend reading the series to get caught up with The Kennedys! I have been following the series since the very beginning and each time I open one of the books, I am sucked in. They just keep getting better and better. This one is darker than the others and since I crave a darker reads once in awhile, I was excited.
Kaden wanted her from the moment he saw her. Even at the age of eighteen he knew it was love at first sight. He also knew she was off-limits. She was married. He wasn’t happy about that but after sending more time with her, he knew she was miserable in the marriage. Over the years, he heard the rumors around campus about who she was married to. He was a dangerous man who would kill if he ever found out about the thoughts that went through Kaden’s mind on a daily basis. The love between his wife and himself.
Eva tried to keep Kaden at a distance. She didn’t want him to be hurt because of their actions. Years of misery passed. Kaden was the only light she had. She had to keep that light bright while staying in the dark. In the distance from the only one she loved. The only man who made her want more. Want the fairytale that she dreamed of as a child. Her husband was her nightmare. One that she couldn’t escape.
Ok…I can’t really say anymore than that. I will say that I loved this book! It is one of my favorites from the series for a few reasons. One, I have been waiting for Kaden’s story. It has been a mystery throughout the series. Two, it’s darker. More dangerous. And three, it has a second chance feel to it and I do love my second chance romances.
Overall…I loved everything about it. The writing. The characters. The story. The heat. The love. The danger. The family. I am so looking forward to next book. Oh man, it’s going to be good.
Quotes:
“I wish I could talk to you, Kaden, but the words I want to say can never leave these lips, and there’s no way I want to drag you into my shit.”
“Just when I think you can’t get any more perfect, you go and say something like that.”
“Good to see you still have a healthy ego.”
He shrugs. “You call it ego. I call it confidence.”
FORGIVING KEVEN
5 Hearts
Forgiving Keven is the seventh book in the totally addictive Kennedy Boys series by Siobhan Davis. Each book can be read as standalone but I do recommend reading the series. It’s one of my favorites! The drama. The family. The heat. The emotion. The twists. It has it all. I have been following the series from the beginning and have loved every book.
Keven Kennedy is in deep shit. So deep that the FBI have him by the balls. But when he finds out what they need from him, he signs on the dotted line. He would do anything to see his high school sweetheart again even if it’s just to protect her. He knew she wouldn’t be happy to see him after years apart. He broke her heart their senior year of high school but he is determined to keep her safe. Even for herself.
Cheryl can’t believe he is here. Keven. Her first love. The one she wishes she could forget. They were supposed to have it all. Married with two-point-five kids and loving each other until the end of time. That was until he broke her heart. Now, years later she was engaged to a wonderful man who has his own law practice. A man who would give her anything. She was happy. So she thought…
I don’t want to spoil anything so I will leave it at that. But, I will say how much I loved Keven and Cheryl’s story. I had been waiting for it and it was so worth the wait. It’s full of suspense, heat, emotions, and twists. Siobhan is a Queen when it comes to the twists. It was awesome catching up with the Kennedy Boys and their ladies. They all kick ass and I can’t wait to see them again in the next book!
Quotes:
Looking into his pale blue eyes is like traveling back in time. To a moment when he was my everything and I believed I was that to him too.
“I could kiss you right now, and you’d let me,” he whispers. I clamp my lips tight, to hold back my moan. “But I won’t do that to you.”
“Wow, I didn’t think it was possible, but your ego is even bigger than it was back in high school.”
** I voluntarily reviewed this book for an advanced copy.
LOVING KALVIN
Loving Kalvin by Siobhan Davis is book 4 in The Kennedy Boys series and can be read as a standalone. However, I would recommend reading the first three books (Finding Kyler, Losing Kyler and Keeping Kyler) prior to this one to better understand the history between Kalvin and Lana.
“Does one mistake define who you are for life?” – Lana
Siobhan Davis has created another inspiring story about love, strength and forgiveness. It’s also a story about self-forgiveness and second chances. She proves that people can learn from their mistakes and love is able to conquer all. I was awake until the early hours frantically turning the pages and unable to put it down. Siobhan has fast become one of my favourite authors and you’ll feel the same after discovering her amazing Kennedy Boys series.
“I didn’t know love until it tore up my heart. Until I was all cut up inside. Until the loss consumed me, and I could barely breathe without her. It’s only then I realized I’d do anything to get her back.” – Kalvin
Some readers will feel hate towards Lana for what she did to Kalvin but I’ve always felt sympathy as she was used in someone else’s games at a time when she was hurting and vulnerable. She publicly redeemed herself and then punished herself by walking away from the only guy she’s ever loved. She tries to rebuild her life at the University of Florida but there are ties that keep her connected to the past and the arrival of Kalvin makes her question the decisions she made. Siobhan Davis’ powerful words will change your opinion of Lana if you’ve read the first books of the series and hate her for the lies she told. I’m so glad that we get to know Lana better and thank you to Siobhan Davis for giving her a voice and showing that she wasn’t really a bad person.
“I don’t know how to exist without him,” I admit truthfully . “He has always been a part of me, and trying to survive without him is slowly chipping away at my soul, yet the hurt still exists , refusing to go away.” – Lana
Kalvin had to grow up quickly when dealing with the consequences of Lana’s lies and it helped him to see that he was also to blame for what happened between them. He’s determined to fight for a second chance with Lana and takes such a big gamble by heading to the University of Florida in the hopes of finding her. I really love Kalvin and Siobhan Davis takes you on an emotional roller-coaster ride as you see Kalvin trying to find Lana and then break down the walls she built to protect her heart from being broken again. I could feel his desperation and my heart ached for him as he’d gone through so much and deserved a second chance at happiness with the woman he loved.
“I could never hate you. Never.” I plant my hands on the wall, one on each side of her head, leaning in a little, desperately needing to be closer to her. “There is nothing you could do that would make me love you any less.” – Kalvin
Next up in the Kennedy Boys series is The Irish Getaway, which is set after Keeping Kyler and before Loving Kalvin but doesn’t need to be read to enjoy this book. Then it’s Saving Brad and I’m super excited about his story!

SAVING BRAD
Saving Brad by Siobhan Davis is book 5 in the Kennedy Boys series and can be read as a standalone.
“Because I’m done being a victim. I’m a survivor. And it’s finally time to start living my life.” – Rachel
I have eagerly awaited Brad’s story and my heart has broken for him several times already in the series as we’ve seen the difficulties he’s had to deal with. I know some readers may hate Brad for the things he’s said and done when it comes to Faye and Kyler but I really feel for the guy and wanted him to get his own HEA.
This book is addictive, captivating and memorable. It is the best book of the series so far and I’ve already re-read it as I can’t get enough of Brad and Rachel who are perfect for each other. Siobhan Davis has created another amazing story that you won’t want to put down!
As with all of the Kennedy Boys books, we get glimpses of the other family members in this story and I love that we get to see how they are all doing and are given hints of what’s still to come for Kyler and Kalvin’s brothers. Next up in the series will be Kaden and I’m looking forward to learning more about one of the older brothers who we know less about than the others.

SEDUCING KADEN
Seducing Kaden is book 6 of the Kennedy Boys series and can be read as a standalone, but I would advise you read all the books in order to understand things that are referred to in this book.
‘I believe in Kaden’s determined words, and I imagine a full life with him, free of the shackles restraining me.’ – Eva
Just when I think Siobhan Davis has delivered the best book of the series so far, she gives us another fantastic installment about the lives of the Kennedy boys. Seducing Kaden was very different to the previous books of the series as it felt a little darker, but I soaked up every word and couldn’t put it down. We get to see Kaden and Eva’s relationship unfold with the story jumping between the past and the present. This was easy to follow and I enjoyed the change in writing for this book as it suited the couple’s story perfectly. It allows us to see the difficulties faced by both, especially poor Eva who was forced into a life she didn’t want.
I know this book is slightly taboo due to the whole professor/student scenario, but I never found this book uncomfortable to read. The chemistry and love between Kaden and Eva erases any feelings of taboo, and it’s clear that this couple were supposed to be together.
I usually add my favourite quotes to reviews, but there are so many with this book that it would go on forever if I added them. Siobhan Davis writes such beautiful words that really resonate with me or simply make me fall in love even more with her characters. As for the Kennedy boys, there’s just no way I could pick my favourite. Each one is just as amazing as the next and I’m super excited to spend time with Keven next who gets his own book. We get a glimpse of what’s to come at the end of Seducing Kaden and if it was available, I’d be jumping into Forgiving Keven immediately as I’m already hooked!

FORGIVING KEVEN
The Kennedy Boys has been my favourite series from the moment I picked up Finding Kyler, so I was really excited when I discovered we’d be getting Keven’s story as I was in need of my next KB fix. This is a series where each book is just as good as the previous, but each boy still brings a different story to the table. Each boy stands out on his own and readers are spoilt for choice about who they like the most. For me, Kyler always came first, but was closely followed by Brad. However, both boys have been knocked down by Keven who is now most definitely my favourite KB so far!
Forgiving Keven is a powerful and emotional story that took me on a roller-coaster ride, which I didn’t get off of until the end. I loved how this story was in some ways a continuation of what happened in Seducing Kaden, but still shone out as a standalone and can be enjoyed even if you haven’t read Kaden’s story. This 5 star read kept me on the edge of my seat, and I became so focused on what was happening that I forgot about everything around me and stayed up late reading even though I could barely keep my eyes open due to being so tired.
It’s taken me a while to write this review as I couldn’t put into words how this book made feel. Even now, I don’t feel my review clearly explains it or even does the book justice. I read this book days ago, but I’m still thinking about it and haven’t wanted to pick up another book because I’m not yet ready to move on from Keven and Cheryl. Forgiving Keven is a must read for 2019 and I can’t recommend it enough!

The Kennedy boys are everything! Each boy has a unique story that includes all the feels, so much angst, joy, happiness, love, passion, humor, while they find their happily ever after! Another incredible series by Siobhan!
It’s always a pleasure to be immersed in the world of the Kennedy’s. Where were the boys like this when I was growing up? I devoured these books like my life depended on it. They are filled with so much emotion, and I inhaled every single word like it needed them to breathe. Everything from first loves, heartache, heartbreak, loss and forgiveness. Loving someone isn’t easy, but it’s always worth it.
“To family. To health, happiness, love, and forgiveness. To the future.”
When these boys fall, they fall hard. Being able to experience it with them is priceless. The Kennedy Boy’s series has quickly became one of my most favorites of the year. If I had to pick a favorite brother, I think Ky still hold the top spot.
Excuse me now while I go see if I can find them all on audible!
