Oh my Kennedy family loving heart! I love the drama, all the angst- and after an epic journey full of drama and emotional growth, we’ve reached the end of Kyler and Faye’s books. Siobhan has created such an energy around this family- that curious fascination that has me as obsessed with this family as the world around them. I can’t wait for future stories, but Kyler is going to be hard to beat.

This has everything I love about this series- over the top drama, delicious steam, deep emotional connections between our leads, and the quirky, loyal force of nature that is the Kennedy brood. The story picks up right where left our pair- with Kyler on the hunt for answers and Faye determined to support him. The dynamics have changed- they are in the public eye now, secrets are out in the open, and they can finally exist as a pair without either of those obstacles between them.

Faye and Kyler are the ultimate soulmates. I feel their connection, their love DEEP in my soul, and this is my favorite part of their journey- perhaps because we get to see them just BE together finally. They’ve been through so much to get there, and now they can focus on solidifying their relationship vs. the push-pull they’ve been in and the way they’ve had to hide. I’ve always loved Faye, and she continues to shine here. She’s strong and patient, determined and resilient. She’s willing to fight for what she wants, but she does it with love and empathy. And Kyler- OH my Kyler, you have my whole heart now. Siobhan is the QUEEN of taking flawed heroes and stripping them bare- exposing what makes them so flawed, And then once we’ve seen their beating heart, she works her magic- she redeems them for their flaws, gives them meaningful opportunities to grow and evolve as men, but also as partners. And that is the best part of this whole book for me- seeking Kyler vulnerable, open to both us and Faye. He stopped pushing Faye away, and he starts pulling her in- he gives her trust in action, he treats her as his partner.

I also just LOVE this whole Kennedy crew, and I can’t wait to see how they evolve over time. While the story is definitely focused on our couple, the ensemble element adds such richness to the story - and always makes for some of my favorite parts of the books.

Siobhan continues to earn my undying one-clicks with this series. Drama, intensity, secrets and danger- and at the center, a passionate and captivating epic love story that I’m utterly addicted to- I’m hoping to get to see much of Faye and Kyler in future stories, because I will never get enough of this couple!

OMG! I LOVE THESE BOOKS BUT IT IS AN EXTREME ROLLERCOASTER



****SPOILER ALERT**************
OMG! I LOVE THESE BOOKS BUT IT IS A DRAMA ROLLERCOASTER, THANK GOD IT'S NOT THAT BAD BEFORE EVERYTHING IS FINE... TILL IT'S NOT. I'M AT CHAPTER 23 AND HAD TO CLOSE IT BC I ALREADY KNOW 2 MAJOR THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN. IT IS SOO OBVIOUS THAT I WOULD BET ANYTHING ON IT. THIS I JUST HAD TO GET OFF MY CHEST! OK SO I KNOW THAT ADDISON HAS PUT EITHER A BUG OF SOME SORT IN THE KENNEDY'S HOUSE AND I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW STUPID THEY ARE. I HOPE I AM WRONG BC IF I'M RIGHT ITS TOO PREDICTABLE AND THEY (THE KENNEDY'S HAVE ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD TO GRAB A TEAM TO CHECK THE PLACE TOP TO BOTTOM. IT WOULD BE INSANE NOT TO. SO I REALLY HOPE I AM WRONG, OF I'M NOT I WON'T READ ANYMORE OF HER BOOKS UNLESS I GET TO HELP IN THE WRITING. 2ND PREDICTION THE SAME OF COURSE WITH COURTNEY COMING IN THE HOUSE WHEN SHE CLEARLY IS NOT ALLOWED IN SAME THING. SHE IS PROBABLY BUGGING THEM RECORDING THEM ETC. I DO HOPE I AM WRONG BC I HAVE REALLY REALLY ENJOED THESE TWO BOOKS. I JUST WISH THERE WERE MORE BOOKS LIKE "CRUEL INTENTIONS BY SIOBHAN DAVIS. BEST 3 BOOKS I HAVE READ IN A LONG TIME. MAYBE THE TWO OTHER AUTHORS SHOULD WORK WITH HER MORE OFTEN. THOSE BOOKS WERE INCREDIBLE HAPPY, SAD, HORRIBLE MESSED UP FAMILY BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT AND ITS ALWAYS SHOCKING. MY FAVORITE SERIES!!!

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.

And the drama continues and the want for answers becomes essential to get my mind in check. After the cliffy in Losing Kyler I don't know how much more of my heart can take. 

Off the bat we are met with the many twisted reveals to face head on. The question is why is everyone out to get them and how to get even and to a place where Kyler, Faye, and the rest of the Kennedy clan can live a normal live. 

The one that is broken the most is Kyler and after that ultimate reveal about his background comes out he needed to get away and is determined to find himself. His life was a lie and he is demanding answers. In the mist of his current ordeal Faye is starting to build a new relationship with a man who turned out to be more of a connection to her mother and the hesitancy to grow close to this new person and his extended family. 

Kyler and Faye's love story was quite a journey. This whole series took you on quite a roller coaster ride that never let you down with its constant twists and turns. Author Siobhan Davis knows how to grasp your heart, break you down to pieces, and make you believe that regardless of the situations (because there were quite a bit) love will find a way to conquer all.

Daaaaang!

This was EVERYTHING.

EVERYTHING.

The love between Kyler and Faye was phenomenal. They grew so much this book. It was so beautifully sappy.

And the storyline? Twists and turns and addicting.

Loved this ending for Kyler and Faye. All twists and turns throughout their story were interesting and had me on my toes the whole time reading.
