“A powerful story of growth and healing. Five amazing stars!" Coralee June, International bestselling author

BLURB:

KEANU
Selena played me.

Confirming I wasted years loving someone who didn’t love me back.
It should be easy to move on, but since she dumped me, I can’t shake her from my thoughts, no matter how hard I try.

Dates and random hookups don’t help, because no one measures up to the girl I still love with my whole heart.

When she appears at my door, begging me for help, I can’t turn her away. My protective instincts kick in, and I grasp this second chance with both hands.

This time, I’m determined to open her eyes.

To help her realize she made a mistake throwing what we had away.

To prove our love is the real deal.

SELENA

Keanu has it all wrong.

I let him go because I love him too much to continue holding him back.

And I’ve paid for it every day since.

I didn’t think it was possible to miss someone this much, but my entire being aches for him in a way that isn’t healthy.

It’s why I continue to keep my distance even though it’s killing me inside.
No one understands me the way he does, so, when my ugly past returns, threatening to undo years of progress, he’s the first person I run to.

If anyone can keep me safe, it’s the love of my life.
Maybe, this time, I’m strong enough to be the woman he deserves.

If my past doesn’t take me from him first.

My Review:

My Rating: 3.5 stars


This was a heavy book. Selena is a young woman with PTSD who is trying to live her life to the fullest. When Selena's past comes back to haunt her Selena goes to the one person she knows will protect her, Keanu.

2 years after Selena broke his heart he finds her on his doorstep. He's missed her for two years and hasn't forgotten how much he's loved her. Not missing a beat Keanu is going to show her this time he will fight for them.

This book focuses a lot on Selena dealing with her tragic past and her healing. Keanu was the perfect guy for her always knowing what she needed and making sure she always felt safe. Sometimes I felt he was years older than what he actually was because of how mature he was and how he handled everything. There was not a lot of drama between Selena and Keanu, which I appreciated and I loved the open communication between the two. I have not read the other Kennedy brother's books, but I still enjoyed this story. I may have to check out the other books in the series because I enjoyed the brother's in Keanu's book.

Excerpt

KEANU
I like her,” Kent says, talking in hushed tones as we rinse and stack the dishwasher.

“I love her.” I’m not ashamed to admit it. For years, I told my family nothing about the girl who had captured my heart. Now, things have changed, and I’m not going to hide her or my feelings anymore.

“I know, bro. I always have.”

“I’m not letting her go this time,” I say, wiping down the counter. “Selena is it for me.”

Kent eyes me circumspectly. “You really mean that.”

I toss the damp dishcloth in the sink. “Yeah. I do.”

He thumps me in the shoulder. “Guess I’ve permanently lost my wingman, huh?”

“I was never a true wingman, and we both know it.”

“Yeah. You were a miserable fuck most of the time. I’ve seen you smile more this past twenty-four hours than I have in the last two years.”

“She makes my heart sing.”

He sticks two fingers in his mouth, gagging. “Fuck no. Not you too.” He shakes his head. “There is no one left. All my brothers have turned to the dark side.”

Only Kent could refer to love as a darkness. Like it’s an illness or something.

“Love isn’t a burden, bro. It’s the best feeling in the world. Even when the girl of your dreams yanks your beating heart out of your chest and stomps all over it, it’s still worth every ounce of pain. Wait and see. You’ll meet a girl, and she’ll nail your heart to the wall, and you’ll be powerless to do anything about it.”

He shakes his head. “It’s not gonna happen.”

“Why the hell not?” I grab two bottles of water out of the refrigerator while I eye my cynical brother.

“Because we both know I’ll somehow fuck it all up.”
