Saving Brad by Siobhan Davis
5.0
I am sooooo happy Brad gets his happy ending. His tortured soul and reckless self-destruction over losing so much over and over again (man Siobhan really runs him through the emotional wringer up to this point) Brad needed saving (pretty much from himself) and the right girl to help him see that he wasn't a constant f-up.
Saving Brad is a great addition to the Kennedy world. Brad has always been treated like one of the family, but the trouble is when you're actually not, you always feel like an outsider. This is part of Brad's inner struggle. He has plenty, but dealing with his self worth is one of them.
His family is gone, having left him because his father is a criminal at large and his mother and sisters went with him when he escaped overseas. To add to the pile of loathing, he can't shake the feelings for his best friends girlfriend. This leads to a spiral of bad behavior, one which he can't seem to drag himself out of. Deep down he wishes he was a better man, one like he was before his life imploded, but he has nothing to really prove to anyone, that is until another sassy girl arrives from Ireland.
Rachel, one of Faye's BFF's from Ireland, and Brad are the perfect kind of messed up for each other. She has a lot of inner demons she's been dealing with and not in the healthiest of ways. When she notices that Brad is spiraling out of control, she can't seem to stop herself from reaching out, sensing the same inner struggle that she herself often struggles with. It isn't always easy, as Brad runs hot and cold on his emotions, but something keeps bringing her back, plus her own demons keep licking at her heels and his protective nature makes her feel safer than her own nightmares do.
With the Kennedy drama, suspense, and great love story Brad and Rachel help heal and save each other in this new adult romance.
While Saving Brad can be read as a standalone since Siobhan does a fantastic job catching up on any plot that could potentially be missing, I also think a reader would understand Brad's headspace more if you've read the prior books.
