She’s the one who got away. He’s the boy she can’t forget…

Cheryl
They say you never forget your first love, but I’m determined to prove Keven Kennedy is just a random boy from my past.
It’s not like I still think about him after all this time. Or daydream about how hot his kisses were and what it felt like to have his hands on my skin.
Nope, that’s not me. I’m in a happy place in my life. Engaged to a great man and finishing the last year of my photography degree.
But since I returned to Massachusetts, everything reminds me of the boy who ripped my heart to shreds. Especially when my fiancé’s constant business trips, and dwindling attention, raises old fears to the surface.
And then the unthinkable happens—Keven saunters back into my life, turning it upside down once more.
It’s ironic he thinks he’s protecting me when the only one I need protecting from is
him.

Keven
They say you never forget your first love. In my case, it’s true. Most everyone in high school thought Cheryl and I were a match made in heaven and that nothing could tear us apart. Until I messed up spectacularly and lost the best thing to ever happen to me.
Years have passed, girls have come and gone, but no one has laid claim to my heart in the way Cheryl did.
I thought she was lost to me forever when an unexpected encounter with an uptight FBI agent, and an intriguing proposition, brings the beautiful blonde back into my life.
I didn’t hesitate to sign on the dotted line.
I let Cheryl down once before. I'm not going to fail her this time.

This is a stand-alone title in the Kennedy Boys world. No cliff-hanger, no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA.

    “No one else ever measured up to you, and, even if I had found someone worthy, how could I be with her when I’m still madly in love with you?”

    Keven Kennedy and Cheryl Keeland knew each other, and then dated in high school. They were very much in love, until one stupid mistake in senior year...a mistake that should NEVER have happened. Now Keven is faced with a decision to work for the FBI... but all he sees is an opportunity to save Cheryl and to tell her what he should have told her senior year! Time to win her back! Is this fate?

    I loved Keven!! He is right up there with Kyler for me!! He is such a devoted, loyal person. When he loves someone, they mean EVERYTHING to them!! He was never able to date someone after Cheryl, because he was still in love with her. He had his random hookups, but he never took them home. He went to their place or to a hotel. And it’s funny because at the beginning both Keven and Cheryl talked about how Keven never spoke romantic things, that just wasn’t who he was. Well, i guess the keyword here was WAS, because he sure was romantic as the story went on and it was pretty freakin swoon worthy.

    As for the suspense, it was so much fun in this book. There were times i was yelling at my kindle “hurry up, he’s coming”! There were some pretty shocking and intense scenes. I’m telling you, this woman writes everything really well!!!

    I loved seeing the Kennedy family together, which we always do. There were a couple big events in the book, full of Kennedys!! So Cheryl was able to see the family again, but the extended family too. It has really grown. I was thinking in this book, how when it all began it was just Faye coming to live with the boys and their parents. Now look how it has grown!!! Wow!! Then when Cheryl saw the triplets and mentioned them being as tall as Kyler and Kaden, I was like our young triplets are seniors and going to college next year?? In fact their books will be next!! I don’t want it to end, but it cant go on forever, although there’s ALWAYS spinoffs!!

    Anyway, I freakin LOVED this book and I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!

    The Kennedy Boys are like a guilty pleasure read for me. Forgiving Keven is the seventh book in this series, but can be read as a standalone. However, I highly, highly recommend reading them, in all order to get the true feel and understanding why I love those boys so much.

    Keven was my second fave Kennedy and was so excited to read his story. While I know that Siobhan was trying to make this book more suspenseful and thrilling, it felt more dramatized than anything. And that's not a bad thing, but I was hoping for a bit more suspense/thriller with the plot on this one. It's more a personal preference and not the fault of Siobhan's.

    Keven has always been the brother who has helped bail everyone out of their problems and protects them all. Until his hacking days come to halt and he's led away by the FBI.

    Cheryl was the one he let get away when they were younger and has never truly been able to get over her. SHe's moved on and is now engaged to another man.

    And that is all I am saying on that point. Siobhan delivers a great plot and the chemistry between Keven and Cheryl has obviously never diminished. As with all Kennedy books, the family is never too far behind and we get to catch up on them and enjoy a few nice family gatherings.

    Overall, while it may not be my favorite Kennedy book (regardless that Keven is my second fave Kennedy), it's still a very entertaining read. Anyone who reads this book, will be sucked into the story and anxious to know how things turn out.

    I am looking forward to the triplets books as these three are definitely going to be the hardest to tame out of the Kennedy's.

    Siobhan Davis releases another OUTSTANDING romance with the second chance romance, Forgiving Keven. As a newer Siobhan Davis reader, I haven’t read the previous books in the series, but I can tell you that I absolutely loved this one! Siobhan has a way of writing that sexy, sweet, angsty and amazing—I literally wish I could start from her first book and binge read everything she’s written because I am in aw of her stories.

    Forgiving Keven is different from the previous books I have had the please of reading by Siobhan. While its all the things I already associate with her writing, its also got a great suspense element that added true intrigue to the story. I never want to put down her books and Forgiving Keven was no different. As a second chance romance, the characters have a heartbreaking history that unfolds as we read. Forgiving Keven will certainly leave other readers in need of a cold shower—but that’s not surprises to me as I have read other books by this author. I was a little surprised by the slow burn factor but appreciated it greatly because the emotions inherent in a second chance romance heighten the experience. I loved the character development in this story and while it is a part of a series, I was able to read it without having any problems with the context or history. It’s a perfect standalone within a series. It definitely left me wanting to see more of this family in the end! Forgiving Keven is one book that you don’t want to miss this week. Get your hands on it now and fall in-love with Siobhan Davis’s latest romance.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read For 2019!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 12, 2019
    The Kennedy Boys has been my favourite series from the moment I picked up Finding Kyler, so I was really excited when I discovered we'd be getting Keven's story as I was in need of my next KB fix. This is a series where each book is just as good as the previous, but each boy still brings a different story to the table. Each boy stands out on his own and readers are spoilt for choice about who they like the most. For me, Kyler always came first, but was closely followed by Brad. However, both boys have been knocked down by Keven who is now most definitely my favourite KB so far!

    Forgiving Keven is a powerful and emotional story that took me on a roller-coaster ride, which I didn't get off of until the end. I loved how this story was in some ways a continuation of what happened in Seducing Kaden, but still shone out as a standalone and can be enjoyed even if you haven't read Kaden's story. This 5 star read kept me on the edge of my seat, and I became so focused on what was happening that I forgot about everything around me and stayed up late reading even though I could barely keep my eyes open due to being so tired.

    It's taken me a while to write this review as I couldn't put into words how this book made feel. Even now, I don't feel my review clearly explains it or even does the book justice. I read this book days ago, but I'm still thinking about it and haven't wanted to pick up another book because I'm not yet ready to move on from Keven and Cheryl. Forgiving Keven is a must read for 2019 and I can't recommend it enough!

    Reviewed in Australia on February 23, 2024
    After a while of so many excellent books, it becomes expected that Siobhan’s stories get five stars. Despite this, her books are all so different. This book is perhaps most like Kaden’s book - they’re sort of like a duet. I’m looking forward to reading Keanu’s book again.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great story. (Slight Spoiler)
    Reviewed in Australia on August 26, 2020
    Finally we get to read about Keven!!! And while I loved his story, this was probably the hardest book of The Kennedy Boys series to review. You have Keven. Loyal to a fault. Always looking out for his family. Ripped and hot. Everything we have come to expect. Then there is Cheryl. The Cheryl before Keven came back into her life had no backbone and no strength in her personality. Then there is the Cheryl after. Strong willed, stubborn and confident. Maybe it has something to do with her thinking she is in love with Dan in the beginning of the book. That relationship didn't sit well with me when it was introduced in the previous book. Having said that, Cheryl totally redeemed herself by the end. And I really like her friendship with Eva. This series is so good, I'm going straight on to book 7.5.

    Keven comes back into Cheryl’s life after he’s taken into the FBI to avoid a jail sentence. They are high school sweethearts who broke up after Keven went off the rails. After finding out Cheryl’s new fiancé has ties to a mob boss and human trafficking he sets out to warn her.

    This story had a good amount of angst, action and romance. I enjoyed the plot and how it was executed in the book.
    Obviously I know this is a series but when it came to the family gatherings etc I struggled to keep up with who was who so tended to skim those sections unfortunately. Would like to have seen Cheryl being given more of a chance to be the feisty heroine that she is, although didn’t detract from my enjoyment.

    Genuinely liked this story and would recommend

    5.0 out of 5 stars Still Waters Run Deep
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2019
    Another chance to know one of the older Kennedy Boys in the seventh book of the series. As always I recommend that this book be read after the rest of the series so that you don't miss out on the pleasure of the other boys, but it can be read as a standalone if you prefer. This book is most closely linked with book 6 which is Seducing Kaden so I would definitely suggest reading these as a two set at the least.

    Keven is one of the quieter of the Kennedy boys and there has been mentions of him throughout the rest of the series which alludes to his mysterious ways. As the old saying goes - still waters run deep - and this is so true for Keven. Despite some of his 'dodgy' past, everything he does is for others, for those he cares about and for those who deserve justice in some form or another. But especially his family. No length is too far to protect those he loves and no-one he loves more than Cheryl, his lost childhood sweetheart.

    We have seen Cheryl briefly in Seducing Kaden and this book just confirmed my belief that she is just such a kind, generous and sweet woman - and when required a badass, like all the females in these series. There's a lot more drama and nothing is ever easy as with all the other Kennedy boys books, but it's a fun ride and well worth it in the end.
