“USED was amazing. Like seriously amazing. I can’t remember the last time I hated to put a book down so I could go to sleep and then immediately pick it up to finish it the next morning. And yet, here we are and that’s what I did.” ~ Samantha Chase, New York Times Bestselling Author

At the age of seventeen, after a decade of lies, hurt, and severe abuse by her brother Lucas, Sabra Valentine is able to breathe.
Lucas is behind bars thanks in large part to Sabra’s quick thinking and self-preservation-even if that’s one more secret she has to keep.
Now, seven years later, life is moving forward, and Sabra is starting to heal, live, and love again with her friends and Trevor Collins by her side. He’s tall, dark, and sexy, and he doesn’t fall for Sabra’s games. The future is finally looking bright-until one phone call shatters everything.
Used is a romantic suspense with domestic thriller elements. Please be aware that there are topics that may be triggers for some readers, and this work is meant for mature readers.

Used tells the story of Sabra Valentine and Trevor Collins. Sabra is in her final year of college, and she recently started dating Trevor, who she’s been friends with for roughly four years. Everything’s going well between them until Sabra receives the worst news possible, and it completely shatters her. Unable to talk to anyone about her troubling and deeply personal past, she pushes Trevor and her friends away. However, Trevor is amazing and gives her space but doesn’t give up on her or their relationship. So, when things go terribly wrong, can Sabra count on Trevor?
Used is an emotional and suspenseful story, and I was hooked from the very first page. The storyline was gripping, and the characters were well developed. As soon as I began reading, I didn’t want to put it down!
I’m very impressed as Used is Kate Dunbar’s debut novel, and I can’t wait to read more of her work!

“Heartbreakingly beautiful. This book isn’t about angst and pain. It’s about a fighter-a survivor-that we all attain to be. The story tears you apart in the best ways and builds you back up in the most beautiful.” ~ Nichole Chase, New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author
“Used is a raw, heart-wrenching story of surviving trauma, but it’s also so much more. It’s a romantic, emotionally gratifying tale of unflinching, all-in love. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.” ~ Brenda Rothert, Author
USED is also available on Audio!
