Broken Love #3
Fear Us
KEENAN
It’s been four years since I ran away—from home, my brother, and my maybe father. I created a life free of expectations while pretending I wasn’t being hunted by all of the above. I managed to stay under the radar all this time… or so I thought. When big brother shows up and saves my ass, I’m forced to face everything I left behind, including her.
SHELDON
It’s been four years since I became another statistic. I made a lot of mistakes when it came to Keenan Masters. The first was loving him at all. He took something from me the night he left, and when I told him I still loved him, he told me he’d always hate me. After that, I learned how to be okay… until he came back. Gone was the boy who always knew how to make me laugh, and in his place was a cold, arrogant monster.

#1 Fear Me ↠ 1 star
#2 Fear You ↠ 1.05 stars
#3 Fear Us ↠ 1.5 stars
The only reason I even read book 2 of this series after giving the first book -493,78 stars is because I wanted to get to this book. Not because I thought I would love it or this couple, but just cause my curiosity behind the reasons of these characters' actions needed to be sated. And I have to say that this book reminded me A LOT of The Prince and The Pawn, another fav of mine.
Fear Us is the third book in the Broken Love series. Theoretically, it could be read as a standalone, cause it's about a different couple than the first two books, but I wouldn't recommend it, cause the plot between the series is interconnected and you would be missing out on a lot if not read in the right order. So this book is about Keenan (H) and Sheldon (h) who were an established couple in the previous books. I was interested to see WHY Keenan kept cheating on Sheldon with the chemistry teacher and some other random girls despite claiming to 'love' her. At the same time which woman with a little bit of self-respect would take back a cheater over and over again? Questions I needed answers to.
Spoiler: This is just another case of My-parents-didn't-love-me-enough-so-I-needed-to-find-love-elsewhere syndrome but more to that later. Well to the second question it's a answer in itself cause NO woman with a little bit of self-respect would get back together with a cheater. Sheldon didn't have a little bit of self-respect, self-esteem whatever .. She took him back, because she 'loved' him. yeah, okay thanks for that. (the THAT in this case = nothing).
awwww, of course not remembering the names of the girls you fucked while being in a relationship is totally okay!!! I mean after all you only need to know the name of your soulmates .. sex is just physical and doesn't need to mean anything I got you ✊
PLOT
The prologue is hitting me really hard seeing how Keenan grew up without the love and attention of both of his parents and that's all a child/he ever wanted. It must be hard starring in the eyes of your mother every day and wonder why she didn't love you.. a valid reason to cheat on the 'love of your life'. Yep 😌
Fast forward many years later *insert plot of Fear Me & Fear You* something happened (don't ask me cause I don't remember) when Keenan got shot and had to stay in the hospital a while. During his stay there Sheldon didn't visit him and she broke up with him, cause girl finally had enough of his nasty ass. Anyway Keenan sensitive ass is hurt af cause how dare the only girl he ever loved left him when he needed her the most. *cries in abusive languages*
Keenan who found out that Keiran his cousin-slash-turned-out-brother killed their mother during that fateful shooting. The fact that he hates basically everyone around him (Keiran for killing their mother and Sheldon for leaving him), he doesn't deal with this too well and disappears for 4 years.
Meanwhile…
… Sheldon is pregnant with Keenan's child. Yay I love kids!! So the last time he fucks her, he actually got her pregnant, but Sheldon has no way to find or contact him, so Kennedy grows up without a father the first three years of her life. While Sheldon and Kennedy are going somewhere, they get ambushed by some random guys where Sheldon gets shot and Kennedy is kidnapped.
At the same time in California….
.. Keenan has build a new life in LA (I think?) and has a tattoo studio. He's doing his thing while the women he's tattooing are all over him. There is this girl who offers him a BJ instead he tells her to suck a dirty pipe.
Yes, tell her what to do. Keenan is on his best king behavior 🥵✨
Afterwards the brother of that girl who sucked the pipe showed up to avenge her or whatever, but before he can do any damage Keiran arrives and does the killing instead. We stan a good knight in shining armor. All hail to Keiran Masters!! <3
While having a civilized conversation Keiran gets a call from Lake and gets the news that Sheldon got shot. That's how Keenan returns and it's all about getting Kennedy back and finding out who her kidnappers are. And the Keenan 2.0 after 4 years also doesn't take it too well that he has a kid, Sheldon never told him about.
Lemme introduce you to
→ Keenan Mr.-I-am-a-wannabe-badass-but-actually-I-am-just-a-bad-ass Masters ←
There are two types of people in this series:
The new Keenan is cold and 'hates' Sheldon with a passion. We all know in most enemies to lovers books they don't really hate each other, it's love disguise as hate and at the end when they confess their undying love for each other it's always bla bla "I loved you even when I hated you" bla bla it's always the same. And that's fine, there a couple of books that have this and I still love them. I just found it so funny how Keenan really blamed Sheldon for the dumbest shit like:
Bro did Sheldon got shot or did YOU got shot cause something in your head is not right? Sheldon and Kennedy were held at GUNPOINT, Sheldon tried to fight for her daughter, but what is she suppose to do when she gets shot? Do something reckless to die and then revive as a ghost and haunt these kidnappers? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT KEENAN PLEASE TELL ME. God, this guy is so dumb. Can't believe people like him have children. RIP.
The only person with a bit of brain cells is Di. I don't remember from the previous books who she is exactly and how relevant she is to the story, but when Keenan escaped to California she escaped with him and was like the money source for their new life.
Keenan had some of the best lines in this book ngl, i was highly entertained
"i'M A dIFFeRnT ANimaL NoW" 🥴 what happened? Did you upgrade from dog to cow now? Congraatttsss baby boi 🎉 LMAO i just can't with him 😂🤦♀️
One time Keenan goes all psycho-possessive-jealous on Sheldon when he asked her if she's seeing someone else while they were apart. When Sheldon didn't want to answer him, he drags her to the shower and turns the water to boiling hot and keeps pushing her under the hot water to make her answer him. Instead of answering him Sheldon just keeps screaming because of the pain and then passes out.
And then my friends ask me why my standards for men are so high irl? Don't you see it? If my future husband doesn't burn my skin away, then he is not husband material at all.
I absolutely love how creative Keenan, a tattoo artist, is. Instead of tattooing his name on her (which he does sometimes later too, but that's not the point), he finds an even better way to mark Sheldon and piss on his territory by giving her burn marks <3 that just shows that artists in books hit differently 🤩🤩🤩
Another thing Shelly and Keenan excel in is their conversations. Their banter is UNPARALLELED. So good I wanna cry!
The mutual understanding is also very admirable!!
Mooooree Masters' gremlins let's gooo we need more psycho kids in this world, because there aren't enough people who terrorize this earth 🙏
There was another scene when Keenan was pissed at Sheldon (a-fucking-gain are we surprise) and then just threw her into the trunk of the car.
This is how I imagine it was, only maybe Shelly wasn't too happy about it and got motion sickness cause Keenan may have purposely weaved in and out of traffic to taunt her.
Keenan and Sheldon bantering like an old married couple <3
Keenan threatening Sheldon's life AGAIN. Man it really got boring after a while. Just do it and putme Sheldon out of my her misery.
As for → Sheldon Chambers ←
Usually when I hate the Hero with a passion, I don't really care about the heroine all that much. It's like I'm using all the emotions on one characters that my emotional capacity for the other characters is running very low.
I was switching between feeling sorry for her for and wanting to smack her. Like girl where is your self-respect? Where is the backbone?
Although, I liked her relationship with Kennedy or maybe I just like Kennedy who knows. Cute kids make everything better ✨
Now the PLOTTWIST :
KEENAN WAS CELIBATE FOR FOUR YEARS!!!!!!! DAMN homeboy really didn't touch anything while he was away… i can't believe it. When does that ever happened????
So let me get it right… Keenan could stay faithful while they were separated, but when they were together he couldn't keep his dick in his pants. WHY? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE 😭🤚
And then we get the best apology in the history of apologies!
Keenan on his knees and 'surrendering' oh what a way to grovel. Of course now everything is forgotten, all the threats, cheating, abuse… no problem bc HE SURRENDERED GUYS!!
No. I do not accept. Die, ahh sorry my bad I mean bye.
The additional 0.5 star rating is for my baby girl Kennedy! 🥺 Her parents and all her uncles and aunts are whacked in the head and should be locked away, but they would all gladly die for Kennedy and that's something I can support.

“It’s not you I don’t want,” I whispered. “It’s the emotional baggage I have to carry by being with you, and the fact that you slept with my teacher along with every girl in Six Forks.” “Fine.” He whirled around to face me. “I fucked her. I fucked her and many other faceless girls. I can’t tell you why when I can’t even remember their names.”
awwww, of course not remembering the names of the girls you fucked while being in a relationship is totally okay!!! I mean after all you only need to know the name of your soulmates .. sex is just physical and doesn't need to mean anything I got you ✊

Anyway Keenan sensitive ass is hurt af cause how dare the only girl he ever loved left him when he needed her the most. *cries in abusive languages*
When I needed her most, she cast me aside.
I’m responsible for many wrongs in our relationship, but one thing I’d never done was abandon her. Fucking that teacher was one of the lowest points in my life, but the lowest was begging her to be with me.
Keenan who found out that Keiran his cousin-slash-turned-out-brother killed their mother during that fateful shooting. The fact that he hates basically everyone around him (Keiran for killing their mother and Sheldon for leaving him), he doesn't deal with this too well and disappears for 4 years.

“Now. Suck that pipe, Lacy. Make it feel good.” “But I could get sick,” she whined. “I simply don’t give a fuck. I gave you the chance to leave.” When she continued to hesitate, I lost the last bit of patience I had. “Do it or I make you, and I can’t guarantee you’ll still have all your teeth when I’m through.”
Yes, tell her what to do. Keenan is on his best king behavior 🥵✨
Afterwards the brother of that girl who sucked the pipe showed up to avenge her or whatever, but before he can do any damage Keiran arrives and does the killing instead. We stan a good knight in shining armor. All hail to Keiran Masters!! <3

There are two types of people in this series:
1. Keiran who got sold into slavery as a child to become an assassin by the time he's 18 and did all the nasty shit 18 years old nowadays are realistically doing.
2. Keiran wannabes who are trying to appear unhinged by doing all these tough and abusive things to their love interest to cover up their insecurities.
The new Keenan is cold and 'hates' Sheldon with a passion. We all know in most enemies to lovers books they don't really hate each other, it's love disguise as hate and at the end when they confess their undying love for each other it's always bla bla "I loved you even when I hated you" bla bla it's always the same. And that's fine, there a couple of books that have this and I still love them. I just found it so funny how Keenan really blamed Sheldon for the dumbest shit like:
Somewhere out there, my daughter, whom I’d never met, was out there suffering because her mother didn’t protect her, and not only that, but she didn’t fight hard enough. She gave up.
Bro did Sheldon got shot or did YOU got shot cause something in your head is not right? Sheldon and Kennedy were held at GUNPOINT, Sheldon tried to fight for her daughter, but what is she suppose to do when she gets shot? Do something reckless to die and then revive as a ghost and haunt these kidnappers? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT KEENAN PLEASE TELL ME. God, this guy is so dumb. Can't believe people like him have children.

The only person with a bit of brain cells is Di. I don't remember from the previous books who she is exactly and how relevant she is to the story, but when Keenan escaped to California she escaped with him and was like the money source for their new life.
“I bet the poor, insecure little boy inside you is grateful for my compliment even if the douche isn’t.” “Why do you refer to me as two different people? And I’m not insecure.” “Oh, but you are.” She fell silent for a moment before blurting out, “Is that why you’re such a slut?”
Keenan had some of the best lines in this book ngl, i was highly entertained
“Keiran should have never brought you back.” She whispered it so low. “No, he shouldn’t have, but he did, and I won’t be going anywhere, baby, so get used to me. I’m a different animal now… so don’t fuck with me.”

When Sheldon didn't want to answer him, he drags her to the shower and turns the water to boiling hot and keeps pushing her under the hot water to make her answer him. Instead of answering him Sheldon just keeps screaming because of the pain and then passes out.
“I need to get out.” I backed away from the spray, feeling my skin prickle. The water now felt as if it were boiling. Steam rose and covered every inch of the shower until I could hardly see him. Suddenly, his hand appeared through the steam, oblivious to the hot temperature, and he pulled me back under the spray. “Keenan! It’s too hot.” “That’s because in two minutes the water will reach a scalding temperature causing first-degree burns to cover your skin. In four, you will suffer second-degree burns. Tell me who he is.”
And then my friends ask me why my standards for men are so high irl? Don't you see it? If my future husband doesn't burn my skin away, then he is not husband material at all.

“If I find out you are lying to me, I will make you pay, and you will never see her again.” “You can’t keep my daughter from me.” His hand flashed out to grip my ponytail, pulling my head back until my neck felt as if it would snap. “I can if you’re dead so think hard about who you really need to protect.”
The mutual understanding is also very admirable!!
“Condom,” she gasped when I began to enter her. It was amazing how wet and ready she already was. “No.”
“What?” Her right hand held onto the shelf so I rested mine on top of hers and slammed into her hard. “I said no.”
Mooooree Masters' gremlins let's gooo we need more psycho kids in this world, because there aren't enough people who terrorize this earth 🙏
There was another scene when Keenan was pissed at Sheldon (a-fucking-gain are we surprise) and then just threw her into the trunk of the car.
This is how I imagine it was, only maybe Shelly wasn't too happy about it and got motion sickness cause Keenan may have purposely weaved in and out of traffic to taunt her.
“Why did you do that to me?”
“Because you needed it.”
“I needed it? You think I needed to be locked in your trunk like a bag of groceries?”
“I meant you needed time alone to think. You were acting like a child so I treated you like one. Think of it as a timeout.”
“You son of a—”
“Finish that sentence, and I promise you’ll make the rest of the trip feeling worse than a bag of groceries.”
Keenan and Sheldon bantering like an old married couple <3
“You have no right to be upset. So what if I fucked him? I belong to him, Keenan. I don’t belong to you. I haven’t for four years… maybe I never did.” I choked on my last words when his hands closed around my throat. […] It wasn’t until my ankle banged against the railing that I realized I was dangling over the edge with only his strength and mercy to keep me from falling twenty stories. “Answer me,” he demanded. “Or I’ll make our daughter a motherless child.” Coldly, he made a show of releasing a hand from my neck. I was only held up by one.
Keenan threatening Sheldon's life AGAIN. Man it really got boring after a while. Just do it and put
As for → Sheldon Chambers ←
Usually when I hate the Hero with a passion, I don't really care about the heroine all that much. It's like I'm using all the emotions on one characters that my emotional capacity for the other characters is running very low.
I was switching between feeling sorry for her for and wanting to smack her. Like girl where is your self-respect? Where is the backbone?
“I ask you to fuck me after you threatened to do it anyway and you walk away?” Humiliation pinked her cheeks even as she stood before me with her head held high. “You didn’t ask, you begged, but fortunately for you, I got bored.”
Although, I liked her relationship with Kennedy or maybe I just like Kennedy who knows. Cute kids make everything better ✨
Now the PLOTTWIST :
“Tell me… how many women have you slept with since we’ve been apart? One a night? Two? Six?” “Zero.”
KEENAN WAS CELIBATE FOR FOUR YEARS!!!!!!! DAMN homeboy really didn't touch anything while he was away… i can't believe it. When does that ever happened????
So let me get it right… Keenan could stay faithful while they were separated, but when they were together he couldn't keep his dick in his pants. WHY? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE 😭🤚
And then we get the best apology in the history of apologies!
“I was filling a void created by my parents. I was invisible before you. I was unwanted and unloved. I lived that way until I found a way to fill it, even if they were only temporary fixes. I was an addict but not in the way that you think. I craved the attention and the intimacy I never had and was too stupid to realize the gift you gave me was far more precious. I wasn’t worthy of you, but you filled the void. And then, somehow, this image of my mother walking away from me forever became you. I was scared, Shelly. I was terrified that you would one day realize I was unworthy and leave so I found a way to fight the insecurity while holding on to you. It made me feel like I was in control, and that no matter what, someone would want me.”
Keenan on his knees and 'surrendering' oh what a way to grovel. Of course now everything is forgotten, all the threats, cheating, abuse… no problem bc HE SURRENDERED GUYS!!
“Sheldon Chambers, will you do me the honor of accepting my surrender to you and being my wife?”
No. I do not accept. Die, ahh sorry my bad I mean bye.
The additional 0.5 star rating is for my baby girl Kennedy! 🥺 Her parents and all her uncles and aunts are whacked in the head and should be locked away, but they would all gladly die for Kennedy and that's something I can support.

What's wrong with you people? How the hell can this book have such a high rating? I mean, yeah, the story itself is kinda interesting, but how nobody sees its asshole of a protagonist? He cheated on her, choked her, nearly killed her and caused her skin burns, and he gets away with a simple "I'm sorry"??!! And she forgives him right away?? What. The. Actual. Fuck???!!! Forget the irrational behavior of the female protagonist who lets him get away with everything, there's a major issue of violence against women happening here. How come nobody sees it? He should get a restraining order from her, not sex and forgiveness! And here's a first for me: I was actually rooting for a tragic end, hoping Keenan would get hit by a car or something. Don't judge me. I don't think I've ever hated a male protagonist with such a passion as this one. I'm just going to erase reading this book from my memory and pretend this never happened, that he's the same Keenan he was in the first two books where he was at least somehow likable.
The author though should work on her writing. Everything was so confusingly written that I often had to re-read the scenes just to understand what was happening. Regardless of that, I'll still follow the rest of the series, because for some reason I do see real potential in her.

★★★★! Fear Us, book 1 of 5. Dark forces tore them apart, tragedy brought them back together & kept secrets will set their lives into a tailspin!
“I’m going to be your first and your only everything.”
Book 1: Fear Me - Keiran & Lake
Book 2: Fear You - Keiran & Lake
Book 3: Fear Us - Keenan & Sheldon
Book 4: Breaking Love - Dash & Willow
Book 5: Fearless - Keiran & Lake
Fear Us (book 3) is a semi-stand-alone romance but with a continued unfolding of a suspenseful backstory. It follows Keiran’s (my all-time favorite alpha BOY hero) younger brother Keenan Masters and his high school sweetheart Sheldon Chambers.
Over four years have passed since they last saw each other. Anger, quest for vengeance and need to inflict hurt is still clouding Keenan’s vision. Sheldon’s heart was broken, but never her spirit.
Follow them with the rest of the gang nearby on a bumpy ride as they are faced with could-have-beens and misunderstandings; coping with mistakes, painful pasts, secrets and… growing up.
Fear Us, told from dual POV, is a combination of current events and flashbacks digging deeper into a sinister game of secrets, greed, lies, murder, regrets and revenge. Up next is Dash and Willow in book 4, Breaking Love.
Forgiveness and amends! Painful pasts and dangerous secrets! The Masters family and above all more Keiran!
“I was struggling to find the words to unfuck this fucked up situation.”

***4,5 "HONEY, I'M HOME!!!" for Keenan and Sheldon***
Wow!!! This series became my addiction and i couldn't stop reading!!!
I need more and more of all those guys!!!
They are batshit crazy, they are having some serious issues, they are having lots of dangerous, even lethal problems, but i love them... All of them!!!
But my obsession is focused especially on Keiran and his Lake and i was so glad that we saw him a lot in this book!!!
(Sorry, but i have possessive feelings toward Keiran!!! Don't judge!!!)
But that you have already realized it, so i will skip my praises to this dangerous asshole and i will talk to you about this one (asshole!!!)... Keenan!!! And my poor Sheldon!!!
We went 4 years forward and everything had change...
Keenan is no longer in Six Folks, he had runaway and he left behind everything that was hurting him.
His brother, his friends, the love of his life...
Sheldon had stayed behind and she is trying to live her life without him. She is about to graduated from college and she is trying to focus in her after school "love of her life".
Keiran and Lake are near to her, as Dash too, even though that he had changed a lot...
And Willow is nowhere around!!! Damn! Can i say more???
All this time, Keiran never stopped trying to find his brother and he won't rest until he succeed it!
That perspective scares Sheldon. She never stop loving him, even though she tried really hard, but she doesn't want him back in her life...
But Keiran is an insisted motherfucher, so after 4 years, he is finding him and he is bringing him home...
At the same time, something bad happened to Sheldon and she lost someone very important to her...
Now, she had to fought her desperate loss and to face her ex-boyfriend who is back and demand things...
"A huge, frightened part of me hoped he had changed his mind, gave up, and went back to whatever hole he crawled out of—or knowing Keiran, he had been forcefully persuaded from hiding.
The knowledge reminded me that Keenan’s being here was his fault anyway. If he hadn’t insisted on finding him, I wouldn’t be so terrified of myself.
Only angry was more like it because despite what my mouth said, my heart still beat for him. I knew it the moment I laid eyes on him again—that everything about us may have changed, but my feelings remained.
The thought of him still owning any part of me was enough to drive me insane.
I felt as if I were dying inside but living again at the same time.
But I was no longer a naïve teenager... and I’d been through too much to give in again."
Keenan was a lighthearted teenager. He was cracking jokes all the time, he was charming and easygoing, but he had some abandoned issues, that were focused on his parents. He was in love with Sheldon and they were so good together, but that fact didn't make him to not cheat on her all the time.
And for that fact, i didn't like him very much in the first book.
His soul totally destroyed when he found out that Keiran wasn't his cousin, but his brother and that he was responsible for their mother's disappearance. Except from that, he almost got killed and his girlfriend never showed up in the hospital (He thought that, but we know that she did!!!) to be there for him when he needed her the most.
“Don’t blame me because you’re a coward. What was I supposed to do? Search all over the world? Turn over every rock you might have crawled under?”
“Yes,” I answered simply. “It’s what I would have done if you had run away—if you do run away.”
She planted her hands on her hips and regarded me coolly. “Is that a threat?”
I walked up to her until my chest was flush with hers. I gripped her chin gently and lifted her face so I could look into her eyes. “It’s a threat, a promise, a commitment, and a vow. Take it seriously, baby, because if you ever leave, I will find you, but I can’t promise you will survive it.”
“I miss the old you,” she whispered unexpectedly. The pain in her eyes was unmistakable.
“That’s too bad because he’s gone.” A broken heart couldn’t be mended.
“Forever?”
“Yeah, baby. Forever.”
Now, he is back and he is not the same guy anymore.
He had changed so much and he almost became like his brother.
He wants to make Sheldon to pay and he wants to make her his forever.
I don't know what to say about him, but he wasn't the Keenan that we used to know.
He was cruel, mean and possessive as hell.
And i can say that in some phases he was more cruel and rough than Keiran toward his woman.
(I think that all those guys are like cavemen, especially toward their women. In the books, i like it, but not so much in the real life!!!)
Keenan didn't hesistate to take whatever he wanted and he wanted Sheldon.
"We’ve spent enough time apart, and I promise you won’t live another day without me.” I heard the apparent threat and shivered from the cold promise. I found myself crying despite my promise not to weaken.
“You’re just like him.” It was terrifying how much like Keiran Keenan had become.
“I’m nothing like him. I’m much worse...”"
That poor girl tried to resist but how she could with this man???
She started to scare of him.
That man wasn't the boy that she used to love once upon a time.
"No matter how much he hated me, I had to remember that somewhere deep inside he was still Keenan.
My Keenan.
The Keenan who always had a ready joke and a loving touch.
Only… at this moment, here, together, he wasn’t my Keenan.
He was my ruination."
Their time together was difficult. They have both changed a lot and their lives had moved on...
Will they manage to be together again or their love is irreparable broken???
“Why do you keep looking at me like that?”
“Like what?”
“Like you’re searching for something.”
“Because I am.”
“And what are you searching for?”
“Him.”
“Him?”
“The boy I fell in love with.”
“Why would you do that?”
“Because I’ve wanted to tell him for a long time now that I still love him.”
My ears rang with the force of my heart pounding in my chest. I searched for sincerity or for a sign that it could still be a lie.
She still loved me?
No... Not me.
Him.
For once again, there was much agony and adventure. Their problems never stopped!!!
I really liked every single moment in the book, but i couldn't put more stars that i did to Keiran and Lake. Their story was above Keenan and Sheldon's!!!
What can i say??? Shoot me!!! I love MY asshole tormentor more!!!
Which reminds me that Keiran for once again was in big troubles and all of them they were fighting to rescue someone very valuable to all of them. I can't tell you who. You should find out by yourselves!!!
I also want to reffer to Kennedy, a new character of the book. I love that girl and it was a major plus to this book. I wasn't expecting her but i fell in love with her.
But no, i won't say anything more about her...
And now, i'm just dying to take some serious answers, and one of them is...
Where the hell is Willow???
I can't wait for her return and Dash's reaction to her!!!
Two more weeks!!! Damn!! It's too far away!!!
B.B. Reid, I want to say to you that your characters are bad... really bad!!!
But you succeeded to make us love them!!!
That's a talent, girl!!! Great job!!!
Wow!!! This series became my addiction and i couldn't stop reading!!!
I need more and more of all those guys!!!
They are batshit crazy, they are having some serious issues, they are having lots of dangerous, even lethal problems, but i love them... All of them!!!
But my obsession is focused especially on Keiran and his Lake and i was so glad that we saw him a lot in this book!!!
(Sorry, but i have possessive feelings toward Keiran!!! Don't judge!!!)
But that you have already realized it, so i will skip my praises to this dangerous asshole and i will talk to you about this one (asshole!!!)... Keenan!!! And my poor Sheldon!!!
We went 4 years forward and everything had change...
Keenan is no longer in Six Folks, he had runaway and he left behind everything that was hurting him.
His brother, his friends, the love of his life...
Sheldon had stayed behind and she is trying to live her life without him. She is about to graduated from college and she is trying to focus in her after school "love of her life".
Keiran and Lake are near to her, as Dash too, even though that he had changed a lot...
And Willow is nowhere around!!! Damn! Can i say more???
All this time, Keiran never stopped trying to find his brother and he won't rest until he succeed it!
That perspective scares Sheldon. She never stop loving him, even though she tried really hard, but she doesn't want him back in her life...
But Keiran is an insisted motherfucher, so after 4 years, he is finding him and he is bringing him home...
At the same time, something bad happened to Sheldon and she lost someone very important to her...
Now, she had to fought her desperate loss and to face her ex-boyfriend who is back and demand things...
"A huge, frightened part of me hoped he had changed his mind, gave up, and went back to whatever hole he crawled out of—or knowing Keiran, he had been forcefully persuaded from hiding.
The knowledge reminded me that Keenan’s being here was his fault anyway. If he hadn’t insisted on finding him, I wouldn’t be so terrified of myself.
Only angry was more like it because despite what my mouth said, my heart still beat for him. I knew it the moment I laid eyes on him again—that everything about us may have changed, but my feelings remained.
The thought of him still owning any part of me was enough to drive me insane.
I felt as if I were dying inside but living again at the same time.
But I was no longer a naïve teenager... and I’d been through too much to give in again."
Keenan was a lighthearted teenager. He was cracking jokes all the time, he was charming and easygoing, but he had some abandoned issues, that were focused on his parents. He was in love with Sheldon and they were so good together, but that fact didn't make him to not cheat on her all the time.

5 "DADDY'S HOME" stars
To say I was shocked when I read the first chapters is an understatement!
I thought that I am reading another book.. I really DID NOT expect that to happened!
My mouth was hanging open, my eyes were bugging out of my head...
Only one question in my head..
Four years ago Keenan's world was torn apart. He nearly died. The man who he thought was his father.. wasn't! The man he thought was his cousin.. turns out it's his brother ! And the girl he thought he loved.. left him! He was alone and angry.. he decided to be someone else , he decided that the people who hurt him need to be hurt too. So what happened with the easy going, charming Keenan Maters ? He run away, until one night when everything changed for him and he is BACK and ready for REVENGE !
Sheldon was the girl who was hopelessly inlove with Keenan . So much that she forgived him every cheating.. her heart broke everytime when he was unfaithfull to her but she always managed to find the power to forgive and take him again. But a girl can only take that much..
When she found out about his affair with their teacher her heart was broken all over again. But this time she hadn't got the willpower to forgive him, she doesn't let him explain, she just broke it off, left him and never hadn't got the straight to look in his eyes again.. even when he was dying ! And then he left, after one night after all this time, after their conversation about running away together and her refuse.. only he doesn't know what exactly he left behind after that one night!
They lives both changed drastically after their last meeting. When they met again the tension, the hatred, the lust, the sorrow and the regret all crashed in front of them! Keenan hold his promise he did all those years ago to Sheldon .. he made her hate him , he hurt her and he didn't have mercy for her.I couldn't believe that he could be so vindictive, cruel, mean and.. desperate! Because the truth is, he was indeed desperate, alone and attention seeker. He has never felt wanted or loved in his life. He couldn't see or feel the love even when was in front of him simply because he never knew the feeling of being loved. The feelings he knew far too well was to feel abandoned, to be envy, to feel guilty.. and these things made him who he is after those 4 years!
I loved Sheldon because she was sassy, fiesty and . She wanted to understand him and at the same time she didn't wanted to get hurt again by him. She saw that the boy she loved all those years ago was gone . The man who show up was cold and a pissed off tortured man. She knew that she couldn't hide from him, she couldn't fight with the urgent to be with him either. Their hate-to-love relationship was doomed to be only about hate, nothing about love. Her wounds never healed after their last time. She managed to continue with her life but she has never forgot about the man she first loved and also the man who broke her heart into million pieces..
Their never ending sexuall tension was something that they give into a lot of times. And everytime it was ROUGH, raw and hard . The scenes were HOOOOT but also distubing because once Keenan gets angry and over posessive the picture is NOT very good!
Under his hard exterior was the lost & lonely boy. The boy that had only ever wish was too feel wanted ..
I hateed Keenan when he crossed the line (and it wasn't only once), but I felt his pain too. I felt that he wasn't just hollow and broken man! He was protective and honest.. and he had a heart ! He never stop loving the only girl he ever loved, even though he didn't knew that when he made the wrong desicions in the past. He thought he wasn't worthy of Sheldon , that she would left him too and that's why he repeated the mistake over and over again the past.
He learned from his mistakes, he was finally there fighting for what he loved, after everything they've been through, he surrender!
Sheldon wasn't alone anymore. She had new responsibilities and when Keenan came everything was turned upside down. That only made her stronger. She fought the feelings but she failed because her love was stronger . She was hurt so many times by him but even broken, true love remains !
Yet again BB Reid did a masterpiece! She has the ability of writing something easy to read, something that make you stay in your toes throughout the whole time, something that would break your heart in pieces but after all she would fix it. She would make you swoon even. Her dark books are something that I enjoy, maybe even too much, and once I start something of hers I can't seem to put it down till I am finish with it!
And besides these Masters boys are HOT AS HELL!
****************************************************
I LOVEEEED Kieran and Lake scenes! These two were, as always, sexy yet sweet! Also all of the people from their gang were funny and protective over each other, their friendship was something that I enjoyed very much!
A lot things were left unanswered and yes, we do have A LOT of questions and I can't wait to read moreeeeee, to see what is going to happen with Dash and Willow and YES, I know I will be shoked again whatever would happen because that's what BB Reid likes to do - to make us scared, to make us swoon, to make us upset, to make us angry... and I LOVE IT!
"A broken love can still last forever so long as you carry the pieces close to your heart."
To say I was shocked when I read the first chapters is an understatement!
I thought that I am reading another book.. I really DID NOT expect that to happened!
My mouth was hanging open, my eyes were bugging out of my head...
Only one question in my head..
“Can you imagine how much it fucking hurt to feel as if each breath you took might be your last but always using the little you had to beg the one person who claimed to love you unconditionally just to be there? It fucked me up. But most of all, it changed me. And I hated her for it.”

It seems like it took me forever to finally get here! But at time I just wanted to say Wtf, & I wanted shake Keenan, for what he did to Sheldon in this book. Lord this man had no clue. And yeah Keenan was the definition an complete asshole in my eyes! We know that Keenan could be as sometimes! But never like he was through this book
Dysfunctional relationship… I must say I’m not huge fan of guys bully an women! At times I seriously thought of walking away from this book. but thank god Keenan came to his sense… or more like the author did
Four years ago, Keenan walk away & left his life in Six Forks behind! With his heart in his hand
Keenan has so many emotions floating around in his head, one that stand out more than any other
There is nothing worse than being in love with someone you want to hate.
One of things that I love about this book is that, no matter what the whole crew had a common goal (Kennedy)!

“Well, I want to call you Shelly for short.”
“Why?”
“Because no one else does.” He leaned in close and whispered in my ear. “I’m going to be your first and your only everything.”
This the story of Keenan (ex best friend and brother of Keiran) and Sheldon (best friend of Lake). Keenan and Lake also had a dysfunctional relationship in high school. Despite the fact that they loved each other, Keenan was keep cheating and Sheldon was keep forgiving. Until one day Sheldon stopped forgiving and Keenan got very angry and left their small town.
Now 4 years later they have both changed. But Keenan still remembers Sheldon with hatred and possessiveness, while Sheldon cannot forget Keenan (even if she wanted) because Keenan has left something of his with her.
When that “something” is kidnapped, Keenan is back to accept his responsibilities and to punish Sheldon for abandoning him 4 years ago.
I felt his cock harden against my stomach and stared at him in disbelief.
“Are you getting off on this?”
“Yeah,” his gravelly voice confirmed. “I am.”
“Keenan, what happened to you?”
“You broke my heart,” he answered matter of factly. Despite his arms binding me to him, I felt my knees weaken. I had to clutch his chest to stop the feeling of falling.
“You broke mine, too.”
Right...so I thought that Kieran was a sadist but I have never actually met true Keenan before. I suppose Kieran was acting sadistically when he was a kid and a teenager because he had a troubled childhood and he was torturing Lake.
But when Keenan almost boiled alive Sheldon (because she was “lying”) and when he locked her at the trunk of his car while he was driving (because she “needed” it), I simply could not understand him and I could believe what a psycho he is.
So yes it was a bit hard to accept the “new” Keenan and the grovelling in the end was not enough. He should definitely suffer more.
And I moreover wanted to slap Sheldon to wake her up occasionally.
Other than that, I truly loved the over the top storyline and the fact that Lake and Kieran reappeared as perfect aunt and uncle.
The book has a new mystery as a cliff-hanger and I am started right away the book about Dash (Sheldon's twin brother) and Willow (Lake's ex best friend).

As a big fan of the Fear Me and Fear You novels I was really looking forward to Keenan and Sheldon's story after following them along the first two books....
Although I loved their story there where some things I didn't find quite believable and that I couldn't look past...so that's why this novel only got 4 stars from me.
You may be wondering what I didn't like and after debating whether to make this a spoiler free review or not I went with the later...so here it goes...
Be aware...spoilers ahead...
I get that Keenan was basically raised by Keiran and that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree but he was different in the first two books and even after what he went through his transformation to a Keiran minime was still pretty unbelievable to me. I understand that the author wanted to maintain the idea of the series but even if I loved Keiran I still wanted Keenan to be him...thank God later in the book he became (somewhat) himself again...
My second issue was with Sheldon...or better said with her attitude at some moments in the book. She was to fixated on Keenan and his return when she should have been obsessed with the fact that her daughter . As a mother I know that if, God forbid, that happened to me it would be the only thing on my mind.
I totally get that this was Sheldon and Keenan story and it had to revolve around their relationship but that part of the book was still not quite believable to me.
After what you've read you might think that I didn't love this story and that's not true...I did love it but I just wanted more from it...hopefully the next novel in this series, that is set to come out in just a few days, will not disappoint. :D
Can't wait :P
Although I loved their story there where some things I didn't find quite believable and that I couldn't look past...so that's why this novel only got 4 stars from me.

HOLY SHIT!!
I'm a mess!!
It's been a good 2 years since I've read a book in one day and it wasn't even a whole day it was 7 fucking hours! WTF!
I'm shocked as fuck as I NEVER fucking do that ever!
OH MY BALLOCKS this book!!!
I was dying for Sheldon & Keenan's story so hard! After what happened in Fear You I was about ready to pull my fucking hair out!
I love the route this book took and didn't see it coming!
I had a few tears along the way and a change of underwear.
HOLY FUCKING ANAL!!
Keenan loves a little bum fun so he is instantly my new best friend.
It was hot as fuck and kept me on the edge of my seat!!
I was reading it all morning in the garden and now I'm burnt as fuck! But it was so fucking worth it!!!
THIS SERIES HAS TAKEN OVER MY LIFE!!!!
August 26, 2016
This series hasn't only pulled me from my great reading-slump but also managed to pique my interest in such a way that i haven't stopped reading for the past four days. Needless to say that even though i didn't love this installment as much as the previous two, i still had an amazing time reading it and i only stopped with proceeding to the next one in order to write this review.
Yes, i'm definitely a Broken Love junkie and now it's official. Although Fear Us felt more like a filler book that gets the story further more than anything else, it was also a book that had to be written. Keenan and Sheldon's love story needed it's own time and space and even though my anticipation after the ending of the previous book was extreme and had me brainstorming about what will happen, i have to say that i never saw "that" coming.
The story certainly blind-sighted me in a good way, because i was expecting something completely different. And yet at the same time, i was secretly hoping for more stories from their past together and a somewhat fiercer and lengthier plotline regarding their second chance love. Anyway this installment made me feel and what more can you ask for from a book?
Now let's talk a little bit about the story. I hated Keenan! I can't believe i'm saying it because even though he wasn't my favorite character i always waited for the lightness and cuteness overload that followed his every move. He had to change, i get that, he was hurt deeply sure, but he acted like an imbecile for far too long and only near the end he came to his senses.
Sheldon has changed too, she isn't anymore the princess she used to be, the great heartbreak and torment along with the big secret she carries made her guarded. And what a secret that was! Everything will revolve around it.
So after four long years, can they forget and forgive? Will Keenan finally see that acting like his brother and trying to punish the people he loves the most isn't the way to go? And who is the mysterious person trying to intrude in their lives and threatens them in the worst possible way?
THOUGHTS ABOUT THE BOOK
- Kennedy is so sweet. Adorable from the very first page.
- The motorcycle story was so good. Gave this couple depth.
- I loved the portrait.
- Keiran and Lake were adorable.
- If not Mitch, then who?
- Jesse and Keiran working together? Who would have thought?
- John's death was devastating even though he wasn't a great father figure. At least he was great with his granddaughter.
- Keiran and Lake were precious.
- I liked their memories, but i wanted more.
- I 'm sure that Sheldon's parents aren't completely innocent.
- Keenan being faithful for 4 years?? WOW!

Okay I'm gonna start off by saying I had seriously high hopes for this book of the back of Fear You. I was excited to see where Sheldon and Keenan could go from what happened in Fear You.
Now I must definitely stress that the first 40% or so I did realllllly enjoy. We saw what Sheldon and Keenan went through in those four years and while I thought Sheldon grew, I'm not quite sure if Keenan did.
To me Keenan came off abusive. And yes I'm all for an asshole and an alpha male. But from when he left burns on her skin, and choked her to near death, amongst talking to her like she was a piece of scum, then I'm just over it. And let's remember Keenan was the serial cheat from the beggining, so in my humble opinion he should have been making it up to her, and he could still be a little bit of an asshole I don't mind that lol... But have a redeeming side. And to me, apart from his behaviour with a certain someone, that was the only redeeming quality. I feel like Keiran had rhyme and reason for his madness and Keenan did not, and Keenan was just made to be as arrogant and insane as possible.
Sheldon... She bothered me a lot too. I mean why are all the heroines in this series such pansies!!! I thought at least Sheldon old have some bite to her. And at time she did I must admit. But then her vagina would do the thinking for her, and it's like she let herself get abused over and over. I'm a sucker for a strong heroines and these girls are NOT it.
There are also tons and I mean tons of unanswered questions. And yes I know Bebe said at the end they will be answered but I mean nothing was answered. Some scenes literally happened and then it's like it was forgotten and it didn't happen.
And I was super excited for this book I must stress again, and I don't like to not enjoy a highly anticipated book.
I will however read Dash and Willows book because Dash is the one I love the most and I don't feel he will be a carbon copy of Keiran and Keenan. One can hope.
I hope I don't have the pitchforks after me. Because I do realise I'm in the minority.

DNF 53%
Maybe it's because I'm a mother of a 4 year old little girl. If my baby is missing, I could give two shit's of the Channing Tatum came to see me. My daughter would be my priority.
And Keenan
Sheldon just had her child kidnapped, and Keenan is hell bent on punishing her.
I've read some dark books and I have no problem with a possessive borderline abusive Anti hero.
Anywho this shit right here, just pissed me off.
Shelly just took the abuse. I'm sorry if you put me in a scalding hot shower, I'm going to fight for my life.
I'm not going to run downstairs and demand to get Fucked
Ugh, Kennan has daddy issues.
THAT does not give him an excuse to be sadistic bastard.
Your not aloud to be crazy!

Story/Plot: 📕📗📘📙
World building: 🌏🌍🌏🌎
Character development: 😕😊😄😘
Narration: 🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙
Narration Type: Dual Narration
The heroine: Sheldon - it seems she had always loved Keenan. They dated all through high school and she constantly forgave him for cheating on her, because when they were together, it was so good. They loved each other fiercely, but she could never really understand him and why he did the things he did. When he was shot and nearly died, he was in a coma, and she didn’t visit him because she was determined that the last time he cheated (with a teacher, no less), was the last time. When he left, she was broken, and she put herself back together piece by piece.
The Hero: Keenan - He grew up feeling unwanted and thinking Kieran was his cousin and that his father was actually his father, though an absent one. During his senior year, he finds out that Kieran’s father, the man that sold Kieran when he was young was actually his father also. From the time Kieran was eight years old they were brought up in the same house as brothers, but after their father came back into their life, everything changed. He found out it was his brother that killed their mother years ago. He broke all bridges when he hit on Kieran’s girl Lake.
The Story: Keenan wanted to prove that nobody really loved him. He asked Sheldon to run away with him, but when she said no, he told her he hated her and that if he came back, she would be the one running, from him. Four years later, Sheldon was in college, just a few weeks away from graduation. She had been seeing Eric Spenser, the guy all the girls wanted. He was handsome, sweet, wholesome, and loyal. Though she never brought him to her house, where she had secrets.
I liked the fact that Sheldon finally put her foot down on Keenan’s cheating. Though him getting mad at her for breaking up with him and not being there when he needed her was par for the course for a narcissistic man like Keenan was. He was actually kind of funny about it, how he would first blame himself for things that he did to her and tell himself that she had every reason to hate him, but then turning around the next second and blaming her for betraying him.
What wasn’t funny was how abusive Keenan got towards Sheldon after he returned. He actually held her in a scalding hot shower till she passed out, and a one point put her in the trunk of the car when she said something he didn’t like. This is one guy I would have gotten a restraining order on, for certain. The story held my interest, but I never did like Keenan as a romantic lead, even in the first two books, when he was fun loving. Though I kept thinking, once a cheater always a cheater, so I couldn’t understand how Sheldon kept forgiving him. In this book, he had none of the fun parts of Keenans earlier personality. He was just cruel and entitled.
This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Ava Erickson. These are two of my favorite narrators. Teddy has a deep sexy voice and always does a great job. Ava has a sweet and youthful feminine voice which is very pleasant and sounds age appropriate for Sheldon. They both do a terrific job.

Shelved as 'do-not-read-cheating'
August 13, 2023Let me get this straight…
While they were together, and she was the love of his life, he kept cheating on her… With the teacher and COUNTLESS nameless girls (he said those words to her)
But while they’re separated, he’s celibate?
😐
😑
He should’ve been faithful WHILE THEY WERE TOGETHER!!!
The math ain’t mathing here 🤨
2+2 should equal 4…
Oh, and guess what? She’s ALSO celibate 🙄
Duh.
And, of course, she takes him back 😐. She took him back when he cheated on her in high school and after their separation.
🥴
Girl. What you need to do is make sure his diiiirty dick is free from the type of diseases that will haunt you the rest of your life, get away from his assss, and then…
Well, then you FIND YOU A NEW MAN!!!
A faithful one!
Easy peezy lemon squeezy 🤷🏻♀️
And don’t get me started on the way he treated her after their separation 😑.
Really? Forcing her to shower in scalding hot water? (her skin even reflects the damage afterwards)
The only scalding hot water in this book should be going on YOUR body to rid you of any diseases you might have 😐.
I remember enjoying books 1 and 2 years ago and I was smart at stopping there, because there’s NO WAY I would be happy reading this book 😐
Unless I wanna rage read it 🤣. Who knows… maybe one day I will 🤣
I wanted to get to book 4 too… but apparently you have to read these books in order 😏. Ugh.

This is my least favorite book in this series. This book is good, but Keenan was a complete dick. I know he has issues but the way he treated Sheldon wasn't right. It was completely abusive. Sheldon forgave him for everything. She is feisty, sassy, and a good mother.
Even though I understand Keenan, his behavior was sometimes too much. He made exterior of a rough guy but deep inside he was lonely. This book was filled with many emotions and it was an enjoyable book.

I didn't like Keenan. I found him a self centred, selfish pig. ok so he was having his own poor 'pity party' not once did he apologise. yes he came begging for her to take him back but he didn't really seem sorry. He treated Kennedy really horribly. The little girl
SPOILER
was kidnapped and what does he do. hand her over to friends and relatives so he can torture Sheldon more. douche!
I just couldn't find anything redeemable in him. In fact Sheldon should have run far away.
He is def no Keiran. just a pathetic self absorbed asshole!!

SPOILERS!! I don't think I've ever been so let down. The only reason I'm giving this book a 3 instead of 2 is because it left me looking for answers. I loved the first two books and this one was such a disappointment. I realize Keenan is internally messed up but the way he treated Sheldon was unacceptable. I wanted to fall in love with Keenan again but I just hated him. I don't know why but Keiran and Lake's story seemed much less volatile. Besides when they were children, I never thought Keiran would ever physically harm Lake ,and he didn't. You just knew Kieran loved Lake underneath the hate. But with Keenan it was different. He was physically abusive to Sheldon. He burned her skin, almost strangled her to death, kidnapped her and forced a tattoo on her. There was not even a hint of the Keenan I loved. There was nothing likable about this Keenan. In regards to Sheldon, she just seemed to roll over. That is one thing I haven't like about these books is that the girls have no control over sex. With Sheldon, I would think she wouldn't be so much of a pushover in order to protect her daughter. On top of that, every time Keenan had sex with her, he was verbally obusive. I missed the old Keenan. Yes we got a small taste of a nice Keenan but the Keenan from this story was a totally different character. I felt like it was false advertising. I was made to love Keenan in the first book and get excited about his story but then to be given a story about someone else.

Keenan you fucking asshole! But oh. my. god was it hot! He was every bit of Keiran's brother in this book.
The MYSTERY!!!! SO MANY OF THEM!!! What the hell was GOING ON?!?!

Keenan was the definition of an asshole in this book.
Sheldon, and Keenan really disappointed me in this book. They were both just so... heartless and cruel. When Kieran was a mean bully, it was just so much more bearable and likable. With Keenan, he just really disgusted me with his behavior and insensitivity sometimes.
But after that cliffhanger, I'll obviously read the next book. Because I'm weak.

4 years? Am I the only one who is going crazy in the head thinking about Dash's and Willow's relationship during these years?
April 10, 2019
Audiobook review. Keenan is mostly a funny, charming, sweet guy, and yes... serial cheater in books 1 & 2. In his own story, he’s been tainted by the blows that life has dealt him and more closely resembles his brother than ever before. The things he undeservingly does to Sheldon were wrong and his reasons don’t really add up to much more than his own perception and coping. However, there was always something about him that screamed redeemable.
I originally thought Sheldon weak for taking him back over and over again but came to realize that she saw more. She saw through his actions to a deeper level and even though it’s still not something I condone, I can understand the perspective a little better. I enjoyed seeing her take to her new role so well.
The story was interesting not only for the external conflict but the internal one as well. It was well written and paced, and it incorporated seamlessly into the over arching plot that spans the series.
The narrators did a fantastic job with these characters. The voices matched what I pictured for the characters. The tone, pitch, and pacing all worked well together. The emotion was properly conveyed where it was called for.
The audiobook version is only $1.99 with the purchase of the ebook so if you haven’t already gotten it, what are you waiting for?

★2 Stars★
I HATE Keenan. I mean, I really hate that motherfucker. I hate him more than any other 'Hero' I've ever read about in a 'Romance'(This is NO romance). There is NOTHING redeeming about him. He's a nutjob, and an abusive manipulator. He is the biggest reason I couldn't enjoy this book. But he's not the only reason...
Things That Made Me Keep Reading Despite My Increasing Rage
- I'm a bit of a masochist when it comes to this series. I haven't loved any of the books, but I find them addictive, because they're so infuriating. The writing is good.
- The book wasn't too long.
- It keeps you guessing, and is not short of the drama.
Things That Made Me Feel Anger or Straight-Up Homicidal
- KEENAN was an inexcusable asshole. He treated Sheldon like she was property. He blamed her for every shitty thing HE had done, and he made no apologies for it. He ran away for four years, and came back expecting her to have remained untouched and alone in that time, then threatened death if that wasn't the case. I lost track of the amount of times he threatened to kill her. He was completely unlikable. I don't give a shit that he tried to beg for forgiveness in the end, it was WAY too little, WAY too late. The old Keenan is dead to me.
Here is a list of things that fuckhole did to Sheldon, that make me question how anyone could possibly have felt anything but hate toward him in the end!! -
- Sheldon started out strong, but it didn't last. She'd protest his sexual advances, even going so far as to cry, then she'd turn around and start begging him for his dick. She lost her brain sometime after about page fifty. It would come back every now and then, but then she'd become a dumb bitch once again. Apparently she likes being treated like shit. She never tried hard enough to find Kennedy for me, and I hated that she allowed herself to be screwed by Keenan. Dumb. Bitch.
- Apparently nobody in this group of characters is normal, because none of them flinched when Keenan acted like an asshole to Sheldon.
- There are TOO many mysteries in the story now. I have a thousand questions, and none of them were answered by the end. In fact the very end, only left me with even more questions.
I know I should just save myself the stress and not read this series, but it honestly intrigues me. I can't understand why anybody would want to write about such unlikable characters? Keiran was (and still is) an asshole, oh, and a murderer! Keenan is a wannabe Keiran mini-me, and his only saving grace, was the fact he wasn't a manwhore in the four years he'd been gone. But these guys aren't alpha-males, they're controllers. Their love isn't swoonworthy, it's scary. It's hateful. They're nothing like other strangely lovable assholes like Jared, from Bully.
I have been with these characters for three books now, and I thought this was the last!! But it isn't. So I will read the next book. I feel I deserve to know what the hell is going on after all this shit! And maybe Dash will finally get to finish that sentence that got cut off... Seemed like some kind of confession was coming. I wouldn't be surprised if Dash & Willow get a book, followed by Q & Jesse - Too far-fetched to imagine them being gay? Not with this series. Hopefully whatever comes next, won't make me rage like this book did.
I HATE Keenan. I mean, I really hate that motherfucker. I hate him more than any other 'Hero' I've ever read about in a 'Romance'(This is NO romance). There is NOTHING redeeming about him. He's a nutjob, and an abusive manipulator. He is the biggest reason I couldn't enjoy this book. But he's not the only reason...
Things That Made Me Keep Reading Despite My Increasing Rage
- I'm a bit of a masochist when it comes to this series. I haven't loved any of the books, but I find them addictive, because they're so infuriating. The writing is good.
- The book wasn't too long.
- It keeps you guessing, and is not short of the drama.
Things That Made Me Feel Anger or Straight-Up Homicidal
- KEENAN was an inexcusable asshole. He treated Sheldon like she was property. He blamed her for every shitty thing HE had done, and he made no apologies for it. He ran away for four years, and came back expecting her to have remained untouched and alone in that time, then threatened death if that wasn't the case. I lost track of the amount of times he threatened to kill her. He was completely unlikable. I don't give a shit that he tried to beg for forgiveness in the end, it was WAY too little, WAY too late. The old Keenan is dead to me.
Here is a list of things that fuckhole did to Sheldon, that make me question how anyone could possibly have felt anything but hate toward him in the end!! -
- Sheldon started out strong, but it didn't last. She'd protest his sexual advances, even going so far as to cry, then she'd turn around and start begging him for his dick. She lost her brain sometime after about page fifty. It would come back every now and then, but then she'd become a dumb bitch once again. Apparently she likes being treated like shit. She never tried hard enough to find Kennedy for me, and I hated that she allowed herself to be screwed by Keenan. Dumb. Bitch.
- Apparently nobody in this group of characters is normal, because none of them flinched when Keenan acted like an asshole to Sheldon.
- There are TOO many mysteries in the story now. I have a thousand questions, and none of them were answered by the end. In fact the very end, only left me with even more questions.

I don't know how anyone could have enjoyed this book.
This was awful.
This was literal abuse, not romantic alpha male.

**** 4 Owned, Broken & Fucked Up Stars ****
I love B.B. Reid! She made me fall for Kieran Masters and that was Not an easy feet! Just when we though that all was well and we'll finally get an HAE after the freaking trauma Fear Me & Fear You put us through, it ends all in a cliffhanger that leads us this, Keenan's Story.
The Story picks up 4 years right after from where the last book ends with flashbacks of the past interpreted in both Hero & the Heroine's POVs.
My Keenan Masters
Yep, I knew Stephen James was going to end up in one of my reviews so here he stars as my Keenan in all his glorious arrangance sulking at the corner, plotting how to F*** Sheldon 3 ways to sunday!
"There is nothing worse than being in love with someone you want to hate."
*Sign* I'm feeling you Keenan, I really am! Although I have to rant about the fact that you just Did Not have the right to put Sheldon through all that crap you did. I mean Seriously? A car boot!!?? Oh yeah, he knows what I'm ranting about!
Although I agree. he did take a fair bit of a beating emotionally from the last book discovering the cousin brother he idolized & loved was not only his blood brother but also the same person who cold-bloodedly kill their very own mother. Yeah.. my Keiran is soo bad ass...
Ahem... moving on.. Yes, the fun-loving peacemaker & man-whore off the previous books in the series takes on a more serious, angry vengeful role. He carries a lot of Keiran tenancies while Keiran takes a step back and becomes a peacemaker... sort-of.. with his fists... (lol)
Sheldon has been the love of his life and since she grew a backbone and rejected him after many of his cheating scenes, he goes rogue and dissappears for 4 years until his brother finds him and summons him back to their home-town of Six Forks.
My Sheldon Chambers
"One of these days, I'm going to finally accept that you will never stop being a coward"
Left heartbroken yet again by the man she had loved almost forever, she is also left to deal with a piece of him she never anticipated and which changes her course of plans in life and career choices.
She doesn't have much support from her parents as they were opposed to the match but thanks to her twin brother Dash, Kieran & Lake she takes it all one day at a time although she can never forget Keenan.
Meet Kennedy
Their beautifully adorable trouble-maker of a daughter who brings out more love and maturity in these characters we have come to love through-out this series.
--------------------------------------------------
Keenan's return to Six forks leads to one shock after the other with revelations and the sinister threats and kidnapping that takes place. Amids all that, he want Sheldon to pay and this time, she will not be let off easily..
"Second chances can be deadly, but I set you free once. Now you're mine"
But this time she won't back off, this time Keenan will get as good as he gives..
"One might think that if you spent your life living for the wrong reason, then there was no point in living at all."
But Bebe reminds us something that remains true to this series...
"A Broken Love Can Still Last Forever So Long As You Carry The Pieces Close To Your Heart."
This books sucked me in from page one and even though it had been quite awhile since I read the last book, I got hooked in right-away without having to re-jog my memory for too long. Although Keenan was not my most favorite out of the gang cos I wanted to jump into Dasher's & Willows Story straight which is next on Breaking Love this book ended being one hell of a ride with shit going down constantly and hard, raw toe curling sexy scenes I just had to love it!
I dedicated my entire day off for this one book so be ready to sacrifice laundry and other mundane household work! Ladies & occasional Gents, you've been warned!
I loved Ms. Reids simplistic writing style and that she stayed true to their personalities only adding maturity and depth to their characters. Can't wait to see what happens with Dasher and Willow, and the unraveling of this big mystery that leaves us in a cliffhanger with plenty of un-answered questions.
This series need to be read as a continuation so they are not Standalones.
