Adoring Keaton - Review

Adoring Keaton
The Kennedy Boys #9
Siobhan Davis
September 20th, 2020

A friends-to-lovers new adult MM romance from USA Today bestseller Siobhan Davis. Stand-alone with HEA and no cliff-hanger.

Keaton
Moving to California was supposed to be my fresh start. A clean slate. An opportunity to drop the façade, escape the lies, find a focus, and just be myself.
But I should have realized it wouldn’t be easy, especially when my last name is Kennedy.
I’m not ready to be a gay icon or some celebrity role model. I still haven’t admitted the truth to my family or the girl I professed to love, so there’s no way I want the public to know I’m into dudes.
Falling for my hot, straight, football-player roomie wasn’t part of the game plan.
Neither was backing myself into a corner because I trusted the wrong guy.
Now everything is on the line, and it’s time to stop pretending.

Austen
From the time I was a little kid, all I wanted is to play football in college and play in the NFL. As wide receiver for the Golden Bears, I am on track to achieve my goals, but it comes at a heavy price.
Denying who I am—for the sake of my career—goes against everything I believe.
I should never have listened to my high school coach, because all the lies are suffocating me.
Until Keaton Kennedy enters my life, turning it upside down.
Now, there is even more reason to tell the truth, because I’m falling for the famous one and I want the entire world to know.

This heartwarming, emotional romance has a dash of angst and drama, a sprinkling of humor, and cameos from some of your favorite characters from the series. It is a 100k-word full-length novel, and the second to last book in the Kennedy Boys series. This can be read as a stand-alone novel as it focuses on a new couple; however, it is recommended you start at the beginning of the series for maximum reading enjoyment.

Another amazing story from author Siobhan Davis!

Adoring Keaton is the ninth book in the Kennedy Boys series, and it’s also the second to last in the series. It tells the story of Keaton Kennedy and Austen Hayes, and it can be read as a standalone MM romance. Even though this is true, many of the characters from the previous books do appear. So, I would recommend reading the series from the beginning. Just know that it’s only a suggestion.

Keaton is one of seven brothers, and his family is very rich. They have been through a lot over the years, which has resulted in them being very close. Even though this is true, Keaton’s been keeping a big secret from them. He’s currently attending college, and he’s fallen in love with his roommate Austen. Austen is a strong, confident man who’s a talented wide receiver on the football team. He’s very popular on campus, but he’s dating a girl from his hometown. However, not everything is as it seems.

Adoring Keaton is steamy, emotional, full of drama, and so much more than the typical college romance. Like all of Siobhan’s stories, the storyline is top-notch, and the characters are gripping. I was so enthralled from the very first page that I did not want to put it down. I literally carried my Kindle with me everywhere and read whenever I had the opportunity.

I highly recommend you adding this series to your TBR list. Oh, and I’m dying to read the last book in the series, which happens to be Kent’s story.

Finding Kyler
The Kennedy Boys # 1
Siobhan Davis
January 9th, 2017

★☆ Now a completed trilogy. ★☆

Two fractured hearts and a forbidden love they can’t deny.

You shouldn’t want what you can’t have…

Faye Donovan has lost everything. After her parent’s tragic death, she’s whisked away from her home in Ireland when an unknown uncle surfaces as her new guardian.

Dropped smack-dab into the All-American dream, Faye should feel grateful. Except living with her wealthy uncle, his fashion-empire-owning wife, and their seven screwed-up sons is quickly turning into a nightmare—especially when certain inappropriate feelings arise.

Kyler Kennedy makes her head hurt and her heart race, but he’s her cousin.

He’s off limits.

And he’s not exactly welcoming—Kyler is ignorant, moody, and downright cruel at times—but Faye sees behind the mask he wears, recognizing a kindred spirit.

Kyler has sworn off girls, yet Faye gets under his skin. The more he pushes her away, the more he’s drawn to her, but acting on those feelings risks a crap-ton of prejudice, and any whiff of scandal could damage the precious Kennedy brand.

Concealing their feelings seems like the only choice.

But when everyone has something to hide, a secret is a very dangerous thing.

Angsty YA/NA crossover romance, suitable for readers aged seventeen and older due to mature content and language. This book contains a forbidden love theme featuring first cousins and a cliff hanger. It is not a standalone read.

Wow! I have a serious book hangover!

Finding Kyler is the first book in The Kennedy Boys series written by author Siobhan Davis. It tells the story of Faye Donovan and Kyler Kennedy, and it’s full of angst, drama, steam, and forbidden love! Since this is the first book in a series, be prepared for it to end with a cliffhanger. And boy, it’s a doozy!

The story begins with Faye in her lawyer’s office in Ireland. Her parents passed away tragically, and she’s now learning that she has an uncle that lives in Massachusetts. Moving to the states is one thing that she’d rather not do, but she has no choice. Faye soon learns that her aunt and uncle have seven boys, and they’re very rich. Most of her cousins give her a hard time, but she’s very strong-minded and has no trouble standing up for herself.

The storyline is gripping with many twists and turns! Seriously, I felt like I was on a rollercoaster ride, and that last chapter was jaw-dropping!

I cannot wait to tear into the next book, Losing Kyler!
