Keeping Kyler is the third book in The Kennedy Boys series, and is the final installment with Faye and Kyler. This book is told from dual POV's. Which is my favorite writing style so we know what both characters are feeling and thinking.

Kyler is on gone. Secrets came out in the last book and he's shocked and upset. He's trying to discover more about his past. He doesn't know how to feel about the man he called a father. Faye wants to support Kyler in his time of need, and discovers more secrets. She doesn't want him to be alone, because she knows what it's like to have your life ripped away from you.

The Kennedy boys stick together no matter what goes on in their life, and that's proven in this book. Faye and Kyler can finally come out and be the couple they always want to be since they discover they aren't really cousins, but it's still frowned upon by some.

I really enjoyed Faye and Kyler's story, and can't wait to read more in the series.

Finally, these two..... So many heart eyes for them! I am so happy that these two have gotten past all the hurdles and gotten their HEA. IT was hard work getting them here but it has been so so worth it in the end! Bravo to Ms. Davis for a good book!

Big happy ending!

Faye and Ky finally get their happy ending with a whole lot of closure in this book, while so many new story lines open up for the rest of the family. There’s a reason this is book 3 of 11 in a series connected to all Siobhan’s other books.

Faye's world has turned upside down; just when she thinks they are finally a team, after some shocking revelations, Kyler leaves her and disappears. Faye plans to do everything she can to support Kyler rather than let him run off to deal with these new revelations alone. Finally, so many secrets and unanswered questions have been revealed in this final installment of Kyler & Faye's journey. Keeping Kyler is easily a 4 / 5 Star read for me.

Keeping Kyler is the third installment in the Kennedy Boys series by Siobhan Davis. I have loved this series from the very start, and Siobhan Davis has become a favorite author of mine with this world! I have been waiting for this book since I finished the last one, and Siobhan definitely didn't disappoint with the conclusion to Faye and Kyler's story. If you haven't read the first two books in this series (what are you waiting for?!?!) you will need to start there as this continues Faye and Kyler's story from the previous books and they cannot be read out of order.

Keeping Kyler picks up where we left off with Losing Kyler, with Kyler taking off to find answers after his world is once again changed forever. Faye understands what that is like after everything that she has been through and she is determined to support him. But when the truth is finally revealed and they go public with their relationship, they will have more obstacles than ever to fight if they hope to have a future together.

I have loved these two from the start. Their connection was strong and clear from the very beginning, with their chemistry being off the charts. But as strong as things were from the very first book, their bond has continued to grow over the course of this series and what they have is truly special. It hasn't been an easy journey for Kyler and Faye, but I have believed that they were meant to be from the very beginning and they couldn't have been more perfect for one another.

Overall, I really can't say enough good things about this series. I have been captivated from the start and each book is one I have looked forward to and been unable to put down once I got my hands on it. I really love the characters in this series, and I can't wait to continue on to see how things turn out for each of them. Keeping Kyler was a great conclusion to Faye and Kyler's story and it just made me that much more excited to see what Siobhan Davis has in store for the rest of this series. I highly recommend this series as it is well written, addictive and each book is a must read. Trust me once you start, you won't want to stop!

This book is the wrap up to the Faye and Kyler trilogy. While they find their way to HEA this book definitely takes the road through hell to get them there. We find out that Kyler has the same dad as his two older brothers so he is not any kind of blood relation to Faye. They have to learn how to navigate their relationship out in the open now knowing they will never have everyone on board with how they feel.

Faye is steadfast in how she feels about Kyler, and picks him up every time he falters. She has such an inner strength about her that allows her to be there for her family when she is needed. She is able to admit she needs help when she needs help. Faye has quickly become one of my favorite leading ladies as she is always looking for a way to make things better no matter who it is.

Crazy may follow them threw all three books, but through every trial not only does Fay and Kyler come out stronger by themselves but they come out stronger together. I can't wait to see where they go as we get more books about Kyler's brothers.

"Why does it take the threat of loving someone to make you appreciate them the way you should?"

Set directly after the events of Losing Kyler, Keeping Kyler sees Faye and Kalvin teaming up to find Ky. Told from the dual perspectives of Kyler and Faye, this style creates an interesting contrast. The Kennedy family aren't in the clear yet, with many enemies still out to get them. A combination of mystery, romance and intrigue, Keeping Kyler won't disappoint.

"Your scars, your flaws, your fears, your pain - they're mine too."

Faye and Kyler have both endured so much, but it doesn't stop now. They still have many challenges to get through and must rely on each other to surpass the pain. Trauma has tainted them both, but they are survivors through and through. Step by step, they build foundations of trust with those around them and walk down the long road of recovery hand in hand.

"I feel like I'm breathing for the first time in years."

At one stage there is a momentary pause in the avalnche of discord, a reprieve as the Kennedys relax and begin normal habits again. But soon we are reminded that the story isn't over yet, and there's more to come. A murder, arrests, past revelations... All will be revealed at a cost not all may be willing to pay.

"He's here. He's alive. He's mine. He's all I'll ever want. All I'll ever need."

Faye and Kyler are more in the spotlight, their relationship a welcome change from all the drama. They've both grown so much since they first met and I love the development each has received from Siobhan Davis. Keeping Kyler concludes Faye and Kyler's story peacefully as justice is finally served. The Kennedy Boys is a scandalous kiss you want to pretend never happened but can't stop thinking about.
