"Some boys will keep it, some will break it, and some boys, they just won't want it. You gotta be careful who you give your heart to..." Slate Declan
First loves, we all got them. Mine is Slate Declan. He was kind, gentle, and caring. Still, he managed to break my heart. So I put miles between us, and eventually, my heart healed.
I haven’t seen Slate in years, but a couple friends and I are going back to the Bayou for the summer. While I’m visiting my hometown, I’m going to look up Slate Declan. And I plan to break his heart, just as he did mine. I'll remind him of what he has lost, and then I'll prove to him that I’ve moved on.
It should be real easy, right?
Well, let me tell you, Slate Declan is not the same guy that I left behind. And there’s another problem. How do you break someone’s heart when they no longer have one?

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy and heartbreaking all in one

This series just keeps getting better. Such an emotional ride of heartbreak' and healing. By far my favorite book out of the two so far. Where Jax's story was a sweet struggle Slate's struggle will absolutely break your heart.

Rayna has never forgotten her first love, Slate Declan. They grew up together and fell in love as teenagers, she thought they would always be together, Slate was everything she could ever dream of. Until that day she found him in bed with another woman. Heartbroken and lost, Rayna flew town and wound up in New York with her best friend Emmie. Now Rayna and her friends are back in town and they have a surprise for the Declan Brothers, they are going to break their hearts just like they broke theirs.

Slate Declan is not the same man Rayna left behind. Scarred emotionally and physically, Slate hides behind drugs to get through life. If he isn't fighting MMA then he is high or passed out. When Rayna comes back to town Slate knows it is just a matter of time until she sees how "ugly" he has become both inside and out. Slate knows how to handle Rayna though, he'll just push her away and run her off just like before.

When Rayna sees Slate for the first time it is just a shadowed hood covered figure so when she sees hims fighting and gets a full look at his scarred body and dead eyes she is terrified. What happened to the beautiful man with the smile in his eyes.

Rayna and Slate have rough journey getting to their HEA. Their are tough times, when it looks like all is lost but their love for each other is as strong as ever and that alone will push them through the crisis.

I absolutely adored this book. I cried, I laughed and I drooled at the steamy scenes. Ms. Gendron brought the characters and their pain to life in this book. Cannot wait for Zeke's story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slate and Rayna - Second Chance At Love
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2015

Another good book in the Breaking the Declan Brothers series. This is a great second chance novel. Slate Declan was the middle brother and he's pretty lost and different. He was in a horrible fire and has burns on his body and he has a drug problem now. Rayna grew up with Slate as her best friend and then they fell in love. They were together for many years but she left town soon after she thought he cheated on her. She was heartbroken and needed to get away. She comes back to town for the summer with Emmie and Lurlene. They are staying at her sister's house.

Rayna has a huge heart and she has always tried to save everything, especially animals. She loved Slate with all of her heart and she was devastated afterward. She has dated and been in relationships but her whole heart hasn't been in it since Slate. She has accomplished alot in her time and she lived in Manhattan for years. When she finds out how Slate has changed, she has it in her heart to try to help him.

Slate's had a really tough life the last few years. He was badly burned in his grandmother's restaurant in which she was killed. The pain was so bad that he had to take lots of pain bills and got hooked on them. Now he fights all the time and always trying to find his next fix. Sometimes he can't tell if his visions of Rayna are in his head or if she is real. He has hallucinated her for years. She was his first and only love.

Definitely worth reading. Looking forward to the next book - Zeke and Lurelene's story.

WOW......Holy Hell....Im still reeling from this story a day later. I was so excited to finally get this book in my hands its been what seems like a long wait. I loved Slate and Rayna together. What a true love story those two shared. I think I fell for Slate in Jax's book there was so much mystery surrounding him and I wanted to know more. This was a story worth waiting for. This was a love that was just meant to be. The chemistry between slate and rayna was intense these two just pulled you into there story and it clicked into place. I think I read in a review that his story was so sad and heartbreaking but the events that slate went trough made him and this story what it was.. shear.awesomeness. Yes there were times I felt sad but the humor and the hot sex more than made up for it. Slate and Rayna took the only path they could to find there way back to one another. Kelly Gendron this was a brilliant well written story of true love and heartbreak. Once I read the first page I knew I was not going to be putting it down till I was done with it. Gotta love those Declan Brothers...Wish there was a 12 pack of Declans cause I dont want it to end so I will patiently wait for Zeke's story cause I have a feeling he has a lot to say. You can read this book as a stand alone but I would say pick up jax so you will understand just whats going on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slate punched me in the gut and left me wanting more.

I started Slate early this evening, and finished before midnight. I just couldn't put Slate down. It is pretty ironic considering I didn't think much of Slate in the first book Jax. After all, how could I respect or like an addict? That changed as I got to know him and what happened in the years that Rayna was gone. She shows the readers the real Slate, the old Slate, her Slate, and the injured Slate. It was wonderful to have a female be the strong character, to be the determined one,to be the fixer, to be the protector. Rayna returned to the Bayou with one purpose - to break Slate's heart as payment for breaking hers. Instead she took a broken man and helped fix his heart. There weren't a lot of laughs in this book. There were feelings of admiration, cheering, tears, shock, sadness, empathy and compassion and a couple of happy dances. Then the other shoe dropped with a simple comment about Zeke. I can only hope that I don't have to wait to long for Zeke's story.

Words that sit true with many fighting the disease. But that Slate takes full responsibility and doesn't blame others for the decisions he has made. Really well written with real examples of those suffering from addiction and the battles. Love this book. Highly recommend it and would read it all over again!! The brothers are all loveable characters and compliment each other well. Special bond is well documented and the balance of humour between brotherly banter is spot on. Huge thumbs up and can't wait to read the others from this author

This was the last book I read before putting books down and entering a "don't want to read" phase. I also got really slack with the reviews too which is a BAD thing because a month after reading a book it is hard to remember what I thought of it at the time.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series of books (can be read as a standalone) so I knew that I wanted to read the others when they came out.

I DID enjoy this one. I like Grundon's writing and I like the storyline in this series. Not out there awesome but a good read and one that I would recommend for an easy read.

4 stars.

This was an enjoyable read but again, it's a quick read and as such what could be a great read is again just a good read.

Slate's book felt a little darker than Jax's given the subject matter surrounding his drug abuse and I really enjoyed the angsty feel to this book. Great characters that are likeable and with believable chemistry.

Looking forward to the next one.
