This was a really nice book. It is a standalone,, but since it is a middle book in a series, but since I hadn't read any of the others I was introduced to a lot of family members whose stories were being moved forward a bit,. The primary characters in this story, Quinn and Kiera, were both interesting and likable. Kiera had a fresh personality that was more authentic than many I've read lately.
While I enjoyed the characters, and the story was well written and moved along at a good pace, the overall plot didn't engage me. The ultimate complication and resolution was predictable. Nevertheless, it was enjoyable getting to the end. There were a lot of pages of "warm family moments" that were a little much for my taste, but they were well done, and I expect most people will love them.

This author is a BIG favorite of mine. She's an extraordinary storyteller who brings romance into real life situations. Her honest and heart warming portrayal of the Kavanagh family makes them seem almost real. Invested is the best word I can use to refer to this series and I'm so so grateful I asked to receive an ARC by this author. I'm seldom moved emotionally while reading and rarely form attachments to a character or story. That's not the case here. I love the big rowdy family and every one of their stories. This latest book about Quinn and Keira is my favorite so far. This book is absolutely everything a romance is supposed to be. Don't miss it.

This is a sweet romance, with lots of sex, about childhood sweethearts that failed as young lovers because of lack of communication. As usual in this type of stories, poor communication propels the narrative.
Since this book is part of a series, there’s a strong family context – the Kavanaghs –, and a career shift by the hero, Quinn, which were interesting to watch.
I was curious to see Quinn’s recovery from his serious accident, with the specialized guidance of the heroine, Kiera, but, besides the dubious patient/doctor relationship, we are told rather than shown about the healing process.
I thought that the pace of the story was a bit uneven, with nothing relevant happening sometimes and lots of conversations about feelings.
I guess this will appeal to young readers and I’m too old to be really moved by it.

Mrs. Robinson never fails to amaze me with her wonderful characters and great storytelling. I cried so have tissues ready. I laughed because some parts are hilarious, especially Keira. The sex was steamy. And all the Kavanaghs are back.
Kiera is funny, gorgeous and working on becoming a physical therapist. She left six years ago after giving her virginity to her best friend of many years, Quinn. She left for school the next day and left him broken hearted.
Quinn is the manager for his brother the MMA fighter and other athletes. He's on his way to meet his brother when he's in a horrible motorcycle accident. He was unconscious for a week and when he woke he couldn't believe all the damage done to his body.
Five months later he's walking with a cane and starting his first physical therapy session. Only to find out his therapist is Kiera. He still loves her but won't have his heart broken again so he remains distant. He has a secret passion and decides to show it to her. The next day she shows up offering to cook for him.
So now they're a couple and life couldn't be any better until she gets accepted to the physical therapy training school in Seattle. She has already decided not to go but when Quinn sees the later he thinks she's leaving him again. So to prevent her from walking away from him, he breaks up with her. He's afraid if she stays she'll resent him later. She leaves and neither is happy. Will Quinn man up and go after his woman or will he lose the love of his life for a second time?

Definitely one you have to read. A sweet romantic story of Quinn and Kiera. A second chance to be with the one you loved all your life, it can't get much sweeter than that. But it sure doesn't come easy for them. Loved the story and the characters. Once again you are drawn into the Kavanagh's crazy family. I love the fact that you never know what is going to happen. A fantastic series of books that I highly recommend any of them.

Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review by Net Galley and Loveswept.

ARC received for review

Another great Kavanagh book.

This one takes place three years after the previous book. There's been a marriage and a baby in the Kavanagh family. Quinn has grown up and gets hurt in an accident. Re-enter into his life is his first and only love Kiera/Keeks. They eventually get back together with a lot of sexy bedroom loving, but not without some drama and hurts. Great epilogue.

Now who will be up next Jimmy with her or Casey with him.

This book is about a second chance at love for two childhood friends. I found the story to be too predictable and far from unique. The dialogue was also juvenile at times and I found the characters nickname to be over used and annoying. This just isn't the author for me.

Sarah Robinson's Kavanagh Legends are perfect for fans of MMA romance. A great mix of heat, emotion and plot.

I adore this series. I was excited to find this arc listed on Netgalley. There were parts of this story that were awesome and parts that left me wishing for more from these characters. Overall a good read and another great installment from this series!

Quinn doesn't have much patience when it comes to wanting have some naughty time with his woman, "Quinn rubbed his hand over his face. “Ugh. This dinner better be effing worth the wait.” Quuinn must have a darn good bed because Keira really likes to do everything in it, “ooh, yes. Let’s do that. I love eating in bed.” I love this series the Kavanagh fa!ily is so crazy, chaotic and insane.

a well-rounded romance by Ms. Robinson. Enjoyed from start to finish. I liked the characters a lot.

This one is the best story of the series, the other stories are great too. Quinn looses everything in a split second, when the accident hits. His old girlfriend comes back and the hurt and betrayal comes back.

Quinn...if I said nothing else about this book, that would be enough. Quinn is simply amazing. Kiera is a great heroine too, although it was her I wanted to knock some sense into a few times. So many "little" things I loved, but can't say because I refuse to spoil the journey this book takes readers on. All I can say is that Sarah left me a blubbering mess more than once, and I loved seeing the rest of the characters, and meeting some new love interests for the rest of the family!
