Warning: This is not a conventional or predictable love story. It involves one woman and two men bound by a love so destructive it spans two decades, pitting brother against brother, and shattering the lives of those touched by it. Dorothy Kelley is a born romantic, searching for her prince. Instead she finds herself pregnant at fifteen, and in a loveless marriage by the tender age of eighteen. Then hope comes riding into her life on a motorcycle and within weeks, Jason “Jase” Brady, a member of the Hell’s Horsemen motorcycle club, sweeps Dorothy off her feet. But nothing is ever simple for Dorothy. Jase is married with children. And as Dorothy patiently waits for Jase to give her the happily-ever-after she’s been dreaming about, James “Hawk” Young, a member of the Hell’s Horsemen with secrets of his own, sees an opening into Dorothy’s life and takes it. What follows is a long and painful journey of self-discovery and forgiveness, as Dorothy comes to realize that home was exactly where she’d left it, and the love she’d forever craved had always been within her reach. This is the story of Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk. We are all born pure; it is our journey that burdens us and leads us astray. Our mistakes that beat us down and cover us in guilt and shame, burying us a little more with each passing hardship. It is up to us to dig ourselves out, to come to terms with our faults, to embrace not only our imperfections but those of the ones we love, and to once again find the path we strayed from. Praise for the UnDeniable Series: “I have never been so beautifully uncomfortable than when reading the Undeniable Series. I didn’t just feel while reading them. Madeline Sheehan set every single emotion within me on fire with a blowtorch.” —S.L. Jennings, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author “In an untouchable league of her own, Madeline Sheehan has created a riveting tale of ugly, forbidden love turned beautifully right. Heartbreak, grief, and finding strength and healing through family is the foundation of this emotional saga. A single breathing entity working in tandem against the cruelty that is their world, every character in the Undeniable Series will become a piece of you, embedding themselves into your thoughts for years to come.” —Gail McHugh, New York Times best-selling author

It's A Homecoming Just Like The Waltons, Except With Guns, Drugs, Sex, and Club Hookahs

Loved it! By the time I finished reading UnBeloved, I felt as if I had just hopped off a roller coaster. This book had me crying, nervous, laughing, and filled with excitement. UnBeloved is the 4th book in the saga of Hell's Horsemen Motorcycle Club. I think it's safe to say that this series has moved from just being an MC romance genre to an MC story. This installment deals primarily with the aftermath and dealing with the wounds, both physically and emotionally, from the relationship between Jase/Dorothy/Hawk from years earlier, betrayal from one of the brothers, the spiraling downfall of a former brother, the Russian Mafia, and finding redemption and hope in places that one doesn't expect to find it. If this story feels different than previous stories, that's because it is different. This story doesn't deal with a new love, rather it is dealing with the aftermath of two love affairs that span nearly 20 years. Before I launch into a full review of UnBeloved, I want to talk about the UnDeniable series as a whole. Only a few books have connected with me in such a way that I want to experience them over and over. The in-depth writing of Madeline Sheehan provokes my imagination and connects me to characters that I never thought I could relate. This series is pioneering because the author has taken a band of outlaws, old ladies, and club bunnies; characters so varied, and gives them each a unique voice. At times their tale is sad and tragic, yet we see humor, loyalty, and undying love. Sheehan portrays their beauty and flaws honestly, never apologizing or pleading with the reader to embrace them. Also trailblazing is that the characters are allowed to age, and it's never been so evident than in this fourth book. Whether or not it was the author's intent, she is breaking new ground because the reader watches as the young, flighty women from the earlier books progress from their 20s and 30s , into their 40s and 50s. *gasp* Book characters having a life and sex after 40; I thought at that age, they were supposed to be lead out into a pasture to wait for the Grim Reaper; never to be seen again in the story. UnBeloved is the story of Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk, and how the actions of each affected not only them, but the lives of their families. If I could only use a few words to describe UnBeloved, they would be "redemption", "forgiveness" AND "homecoming". In UnBeautifully, we saw how their love turned into an F5 tornado, creating a path of destruction for not only them but everyone around them. Chrissy, Jase's wife, was convicted of first degree attempted murder for shooting a very pregnant Dorothy, Dorothy shunning both men and the club, Jase losing his mistress and family, and Hawk leaving his brothers and going nomad. Seven years later, the trio still haven't addressed the carnage left by their love vortex, until an emergency has everyone coming home, and the trio is finally forced to walk through the broken mess, and assess the damage and rebuild. The story begins with Dorothy being called back to Miles City, Montana due to an emergency. Once she is inside the clubhouse, she is informed that one of the Horsemen isn't who he has claimed to be and has been covering up his past. So the entire club is reeling from this betrayal, and also from one of their own being held hostage. In dealing with the dire situation, Dorothy is forced to a day of reckoning, seven years after surviving the gunshot, she has to deal with the issues from her past. Jase is also forced to come to terms with the poor choices made years ago. Instead of hiding from the issues like Dorothy did by moving away, Jase has hid from them inside a liquor bottle. Jase's road to redemption comes from the most unlikely source. When he finally comes face-to-face, he knows that he has to make amends and stop the vicious cycle. Hawk has literally ran from all the problems from the past, going nomad and seeking refuge in the road. Now all the running and hiding comes to an abrupt halt. As in any family, when there is an emergency and the chips are down, everyone comes together, and this MC family is no different. Once again I get to see my favorite character, "DEEEEEEEEUUUUUUCCCCEEEE!". What can I say, I've loved him since UnDeniable; even when he was an a-- hole at times. My love for Deuce has not wavered, if anything, it has grown. Deuce is still a force to be reckoned with, and it is never more evident than the scene on the highway between he and Preacher, and when he and Ripper pay a visit to Hawk. Cox and Kami are still fighting as usual, and Cox's humor has grown even more vulgar and dirty, as impossible as that seems. OMG, that one scene had me laughing and gagging at the same time. Eva's influence on the club is evident in how everyone, including the women, views it not as a club, but rather another home. The women have formed tight bonds, and just like the Horsemen being brothers, the gals also have a sisterhood. *******CAUTION BELOW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK **** I have to talk about my two favorite scenes: 1. the highway scene and 2. the Vegas arena scene. The highway scene, oh that highway scene, that one is my favorite. Sheehan's writing is pure perfection, from her description of the surroundings to the bantering between the characters, if I felt anymore immersed in that scene, I would have needed to throw on my coat and gloves. The spoken dialogue and unspoken thoughts from each character is profound, beautiful, and insightful. That scene showcases how the men have progressed since the beginning of the series; it's powerful and serene at the same time. The Vegas scene, let's just say that I had goosebumps when Sheehan first walks us through the arena, that scene is dark and scary. I didn't know what to expect. Okay, no more, because I don't want to give away a spoiler...... As the characters find reckoning, redemption, forgiveness, and peace during their homecoming; some say a sad goodbye. Like a regular family, sometimes we lose members, and this story is no different: one deciding to take the road that leads to home, one's path taking him to jail where he doesn't pass GO and collect $200, and ZZ's route, let's just call Z's road "psycho path", and a couple of bikers that take the journey on that eternal highway through the Harley Davidson's pearly gates. In the words of Dorothy Kelley Matthews "This is the story of us all...all our fates intertwined, and for that reason alone, pain and death be damned, I wouldn't change a thing." As for me, I wouldn't miss the ride on a rocky road with this band of outlaws, old ladies, and club hookahs for anything. Vroom, vroom!!

HLB Reviews Unbeloved

So I picked up this book after reading another motorcycle club book and decided I wanted to read another with the same theme. Someone recommended this series, and this synopsis just kind of spoke to me, there just seemed to be a lot going on even with the synopsis that I just had to know how it turned out in the book. I have to say this is completely not at all what I was expected, it was way more, and I loved it. So from the synopsis I kind of got that there would be some time passages within the book, but I was expecting the book to be told from a young girls perspective, but the story is actually told from basically everyones perspective after the fact. So Dorothy was married young and was having an affair with married man (with kids) Jase and then she starts sleeping with Hawk behind his back. This situation is obviously more complicated then that, but when the book starts it after every relationship has imploded, years in the future. I was really worried about how that would play out, I mean I wanted to be in on the action! I wanted to experience the whole love triangle thing. But it totally worked for this book, and in my opinion it actually came off more authentic. I mean everyone has relationships when they are young that kind of form who you are as a person, and it's not really until you are older and can look back that you get perspective and like in this case are given the opportunity to kind of fix things. I actually don't have super strong feelings about Dorothy, she made some mistakes in her past and she's doing her best to be a good mom. She's been through some tough stuff, but even though she doesn't see herself as strong, but she really is actually a strong person, she had to be in order to come back into the motorcycle club when things hit he fan with Hawk. I did however have strong feelings for Jase and Hawk both, I thought they were strong characters. I thought that Jase's hole that he had put himself in with his drinking and depression, it was some times hard to read, but it was great too. There were moments that my heart kind of broke for him and moments when I was actually was proud of him. Hawk though was a just steamy to me, I get the appeal, like totally. But he had a lot more depth than I was expecting, he had backstory and he has real emotional bonds to the other characters. So the main reason I loved this book was because while I wasn't head over heels for any one character (generally I liked them all), but I LOVED the way they interacted. The scenes that were powerful were the ones where a bunch of characters come together and you can feel the tension and you feel like you're just in that moment with them. When I read I always feel something about a book, I get annoyed at character, sometimes my eyes get misty at an emotional event, butterflies happen when romance two characters have been building takes that first step, and I laugh out loud a lot. This book takes the CAKE though. I very rarely full on ugly cry at a book, but there is this goodbye scene in this book that had me going like hardcore, and I think it comes down to the fact that it was about family, not just too people in love saying goodbye, but a whole group of people, who cared and loved one another trying to fit everything into these fleeting moments, and we are talking big bad bikers here, that just had me going. Serious props for getting that kind of emotion out of me. Long story short (think this is my longest review ever) this book is just emotionally powerful. It shows love in a real a light, that spans years, a lifetime really, not just a couple months in college or a year of adulthood, you really get a glimpse into the whole life of these great characters. The motorcycle club theme is done really well, I love the family dynamics it created. But I think most of all I loved that no character outshines anyone, the best way I can explain is this (forgive me I'm a sports girl): no one player wins the game, only when the players completely work together do you end up with something amazing, and that's what this cast of characters did. So go buy this book. Seriously. Or maybe start with the beginning of the series, but read this one for sure.

FIVE EMOTIONAL STARS- MADELINE SHEEHAN ALWAYS LEAVES ME WANTING MORE!

"I wasn’t always broken; we are all born pure. It is our journey that burdens us and leads us astray . Our mistakes that beat us down and cover us in guilt and shame, burying us a little more with each successive hardship. It is up to us to dig ourselves out, to come to terms with our faults, to embrace not only our imperfections but those of the ones we love, and to once again find the path we strayed from." Unbeloved is the story I’ve been waiting what seems like a lifetime for, the story of Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk. This is the book I had been anticipating above all others and finally I got it! Told from alternating points of view of all three main characters and a series of flashbacks and fast-forwards, the story could have been disjointed, but it was anything but. The pacing was flawless and smooth and the author had me from the very start and never let go. "This isn’t just my story, the story of a broken woman who lost her way. It’s also the story of my children, the men I loved, and the friends who were more family to me than my own. This is the story of us all, all our fates intertwined. And for that reason alone, pain and death be damned, I wouldn’t change a thing." Readers expecting a dark and gritty MC/BIKER story filled with sex and mayhem may be disappointed. Unbeloved certainly wasn't what I expected, but it wasn't a disappointment either. It was definitely a different book than others in the Undeniable series. It was a surprisingly emotional read, filled with heartbreak, reflection, and misery at times. Unbeloved was as much a story about growing up, accepting responsibilities for past mistakes, and for each of the main characters, the road to redemption. It was the first book in the series that had me crying (more than once), slow quiet tears, as I hurt right along with the characters as they tried to accept the bitter taste of regret and wasted opportunities, of pain caused to those that should have been cared and protected but that were neglected and passed over... It would have been easy to pick apart these characters actions and behaviors. They all were certainly flawed. But Sheehan did a wonderful job of giving a glimpse into each characters motives, their intentions, even when motivated by nothing but selfishness and ego. Perhaps I had an easier time accepting each character and the many mistakes they made along the way because of the suffering and heartache each journeyed through. "I wanted to live the fairy tale, to become someone’s everything and anything, to be his princess. I wanted my happily-ever-after. There was only one problem. Instead of finding my prince, I found a whole mess of trouble." There were some lighter parts, not everything was so heavy. I loved the interactions between Preacher and Deuce. Deuce seemed like he really had grown into his own, more mellow, more of a mentor and caretaker of the members of the club. Cox and Kami were as crazy and wild as ever. The author did a good job of catching up with all the characters we love but not taking up too much story line with them. Eva’s friendship and encouragement of Dorothy had me laughing. Unbeloved was low on grit but high on real. Parts of the story were still wild and crazy but the bulk of the the story was about human nature and learning to move on than the normal club drama I was expecting. It was also lower on steam than the other books in the series. I love my steam as much as the next romance reader, maybe even more =) But even though Unbeloved wasn’t sex heavy, I absolutely, positively didn’t miss a thing. The connection between these characters, this club, came across loud and clear and nothing was lacking. Overall, I’m not sure Unbeloved was my favorite of the series but it was a solid read, through and through. The depth of emotion, the development of characters...all of it worked for me. It wasn't what I was expecting, but I loved it all the same. A solid FIVE STARS for the always consistent and amazing Madeline Sheehan! A quick note, when I finished Unattainable, I couldn’t stop thinking about Dirty. When I finished Unbeloved, it was all about ZZ. Madeline Sheehan always leaevs me wanting more. ZZ's been lurking in my mind for months now and Unbeloved did nothing but bring him to the forefront. The ending of Unbeloved was maddening and I have no idea how I'm going to make it to the release of Undying. I have no idea how this story line is going but I'm so glad I'll be there for the ride!

AMAZING

In all my life, the hundreds of books I’ve devoured, I’ve never read such amazing, well written stories. There is no doubt in my mind that Madeline Sheehan was born to write, to tell a story and to create such epic characters you carry them with you even after the story is finished. This is her destiny and I’m so happy she decided to publish all those years ago to share this amazing series with us. I first fell in “like” with Madeline Sheehan’s UnDeniable. It was everything a love story should be. Real, honest, ugly, terrifying, gut wrenching and raw. Then, I fell in love with her when I finished UnBeautifully. All that emotion packed into one story astounded me and made me want to become a better writer. I started reaching stalker status with UnAttainable. Tegan is probably my favorite heroine out of any romance novel in the history of ever. She’s just fantastic and everything I would want in a friend. Now, we’re at UnBeloved and I don’t even know what to feel. After finishing this phenomenal book only minutes ago, I’m a little bit of everywhere. There’s not one emotion I didn’t feel during the last few hours. I was happy and sad. I was laughing my butt off one second then crying my eyes out the next. I was falling in love with characters I always had a soft spot for and then falling for the ones that I never saw possible. This is a story about love, forgiveness, moving forward and learning to live with the mistakes of your past. Embracing them and allowing them to guide you, not define you. “Life is made up of moments, big ones and little, the good and bad. We never remember the grey matter, the space in between, only the moments in time that have the ability to transform us in some way, affect us to completely that the memory would be forever etched upon who we were, who we are and who we would become” I don’t know about you, but I was a little sad when the release of UnBeloved needed to be pushed back. I felt like I had been waiting on pins and needles for months, salivating over the announcement of a new release date. To get a story this wonderful …. “I will wait for *effing*ever" … for you all to devour and pray to everything holy you didn’t read it … just so you can read it again for the first time with all the wonder and excitement as you will the first time. Even though this story revolves around Dorothy/Jase/Hawk, you’re going to get characters from novels past, and they don’t disappoint. They give you a greater meaning as to what this series is really about. Family. Love. Loyalty. Honor. Yes, we all love the badboy biker aspect, but if you delve just a little further into the depth of these stories, you’ll see that common thread between them all. You’re getting so much more than “bikers” … you’re getting … everything. Even with that being said, all love triangles must come to an end, and it did end. It hurt, it was painful, but the end result was true beauty. “But there’s only one that can steal your soul, that untouchable, unreachable place inside of you that exists only in your mind, that warms and cools, flutters and shakes without rhyme or reason, and makes it theirs forever.” Deuce is very present in this story and his evolution is astounding. I was shocked, but so pleased as what I read. I can’t tell you, but I can promise you’ll see the leader of our fearless gang in an entirely new light. The other guys … Cox (still the same, but slightly different … hilarious and crude, but with a little maturity behind him), Cage (it’s like watching my own child grow up right in front of me), Tegan (still a smart mouthed spit-fire, but you’ll notice slight changes), Kami (welp … she’s Cami), Eva (who never fails to make me want to be a better woman). I could go on and on about the slight, almost nonexistent changes in these guys, but you’re just going to have to read it. My final note … Madeline Sheehan … I adore you. I adore your stories, your characters, your wit, your grittiness, your raw, unscripted emotion, your way of wording a sentence to make it flow like poetry, your angst and your time. With every new book, I’m a little more in awe of you. I’m more than proud to have received an ARC of this book. Even more than that, I’m honored to call you a friend. I give UnBeloved the most stars possible. If that’s 5, then so be it, but it deserves so much more.

The QUEEN OF MC HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!

UnBeloved by Madeline Sheehan Series: UnDeniable #4 (Must be read in order) Genre: Contemporary MC Romance Age Group: Adult Release Date: June 23rd 2014 Length: 255 pages Format: Kindle Source: Purchased Review Date: June 28th 2014 Steam Rating: Hot Overall Rating: 5 STARS Review: The QUEEN OF MC HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!! I must be impossible for Madeline to write a bad MC novel. I was VERY curious to see how she was going to tell the story of Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk. I think we all knew that Hawk was the right one for Dorothy, but we also knew that Jase was the man she had loved forever. Now that both men finally are ready to give her everything who will she choose? Or will she decide to leave them both behind and move on? She has been living without either of them for years since the shooting. What could change this? ← A LOT changes, and you will have to just hold on for the ride of your life to find out what! It is no secret that I am a total fangirl of Madeline Sheehan. Seriously. I have been in awe of this series since I read the first book. All other MC books seem to pale in comparison. She raised the bar so high it makes it almost impossible for another to get into this genre without having to compete with her novels–which are written to perfection. Her characters are so raw, flawed, and uninhibited. They do horrible things, but somehow we don’t think of them as horrible people–at least I don’t. But she doesn’t ask you to like them, it actually seems as though she is daring you to dislike them. It is useless though to fight it–you WILL like them–most likely even love them. Dorothy has been like a mother figure to the MC, not an “old lady” but also not a “club wh0re.” Being in the middle hasn’t been easy on her all these years, and she had finally broken free of her toxic relationship with Jase when she was shot by his wife. UnBeloved starts off years later when she is living in California with her (and Hawk’s) son. She is content but not happy. "My weaknesses, my choices, and my decisions–the ones I made and the ones I didn’t–all took me down a rocky road filled with regret, heartbreak, and pain. And eventually, they nearly killed me." However, a tragedy strikes that brings her back to Montana, and back to the MC. Shocking secrets are revealed, lies are uncovered, and betrayal is felt as a result. Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk must face each other and their issues come to a head–will they all survive this craziness? When Dorothy faces her past she comes to some dramatic revelations. She has loved both of these men but she must let one or both go for good. Beneath my cheek, Jase’s chest heaved as he snorted. “I was an a$$hole.” I nodded. “The worst kind of a$$hole.” I whispered. “The kind who thinks he’s a good guy.” We know from UnAttainable that Jase has been spiraling downward for awhile. It was hard to watch, and it couldn’t last forever–something had to give. And it did. I loved him but I also felt like he was a selfish b@$t@rd that finally got what he deserved when he found out about Hawk, Dorothy, and the fact that the baby wasn’t his. Dorothy being back now brought him to his knees, and he broke inside for everything he has lost–his wife, his children, and Dorothy. As for Hawk, I am completely in love with him. I wanted him and Dorothy to be together, and not just because of the baby. I thought he was the better person and he deserved her. There was so much more to him than we originally thought. His character goes so much deeper, we didn’t even scratch the surface in the previous novels. They say what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. Well, he didnt know about all that. But it sure as sh#t changes everything. ~ James “Hawk” Young Then there is the end. I was literally a sobbing mess for the last 20% of it :( I was shocked. I couldn’t believe what was happening… but then again I never knew what was coming, it was completely UnPredictable ;) Overall, this was a FABULOUS addition to this series and I enjoyed every second of it. My only complaint is that it didn’t last forever. Preacher’s story is next and I am already very anxious for it. HAIL Madeline, you fr@@kin’ ROCK!!! ~StacyHgg Books Unhinged Book Blog

A perfect balance of grit, when needed but this also had so much tender tossed in.

Dorothy had loved two men and been loved by two men. But both of those relationships were hidden in the shadows - dirty little secrets. One woman waiting for a man to choose her, one man waiting for a woman to choose him and one man that simply did not want to make that choice. But Dorothy's story doesn't just begin now, her story started decades ago when she was a wife to a man she didn't love and became the mistress of a man that she would never be able to call her own. But through those decades, she had a secret of her own, another man that she fell in love with. For Dorothy these men were nearly everything she could have asked for, but she was kept hidden... she was never able to enjoy love in the open with either man that owned her heart. Then it all came to an end when a bullet nearly took her life and the life she created with one of those two men. Jace has spent his whole life being somebody else, wanting things he didn't have. The wife and kids at home were not enough for him, his life needed something else to fill it. That filler came in the form of a five foot redhead named Dorothy. But Jace was never going to make the decision to leave his wife, but unfortunately that decision was made by him when his cheating ways nearly cost him his Dorothy. Hawk couldn't take his eyes off of her. He knew that taking her was a betrayal to his club, to his brother but she filled a void in him that he never imagined would be filled. His life before the club didn't exist, who he was before he became Hawk faded into the darkness and it left him with nothing but the present. Until Dorothy gave him a future... a family. But that family was missing one key person, Dorothy. When Hawk fails to show up for his son at Christmas Dorothy calls the one man that would know what to do, Deuce. With Hawk missing, Dorothy has no choice but to go back home and face her past head on. But being back at the club with a broken (and available) Jace and being worried over Hawk placed Dorothy at a crossroads where she has to make a choice. --------------------- Gah! My heart was all over the place during this read. For fragments of time I wavered on her choice, which man deserved to have this woman... which one would cherish her. Sure Jace wasn't the greatest of men, keeping her a secret and always promising her the world but never giving it - but he had loved her. He just didn't have his own stuff together enough to realize that he was always looking for something else to make him happy. And him losing everything was just heartbreaking. For Hawk. That poor guy. Having to watch Jace with Dorothy all those years and watch her break each and every time. But Hawk took what he wanted and he wasn't going to let some claim made by one of his brothers stand in his way. His battle back to his boy and the lengths he was willing to go for the club, for the man that saved him... those final moments when that choice was made shattered my heart. But what I absolutely loved about this book more than just the dynamic of Dorothy, Jace & Hawk was the way that Madeline Sheehan gave us so much in this story. So much time passes that you get so many pieces of the future for all of these characters, some of them make you smile and others cause you to get a little choked up. But no doubt about it, you walk away loving this series more than you ever imagined when you are finished. A perfect balance of grit, when needed but this also had so much tender tossed in. Every mistake, poor choice was owned by each and in the end those things brought three people into each other’s lives, and that damaged path paved in poor decisions joined two of them in a bond that time could not break. I absolutely loved every second of this book, the way the story was told - the span of time it elapsed and most of all I loved Dorothy.

Resolution and happiness for Dorothy finally

4-4.5 stars. I’ve been anxious to find out how things go down between Dorothy, Jase and Hawk even since Unbeautifully. So many years have gone by since Dorothy was first brought to the club by Jase. And a lot has happened between them. I definitely did not see the origin of Hawk’s story coming, that was an interesting twist for so many reasons. And then there’s ZZ who has changed so much since the beginning and it really makes me sad because I want better for him and really look forward to the final book. Dorothy had my sympathy and she has suffered for a long time. She had unconditional love right there at her fingertips, but it wasn’t under ideal circumstances so she didn’t quite see it for what it was. Jase has screwed his life up colossally and it seems like he’s hitting the point of no return with the huge pile of regrets. Hawk never revealed much about himself so he remained a bit mysterious until now. I really loved discovering him as a person rather than just the roles he plays as club member, friend, lover and father. He surprised me with how intense, solid and steady he is. It became so apparent as to who was the best fit for Dorothy and she could finally admit it to herself. One was a mirror image of her and the other balanced her. All three of them have run away from their problems in some fashion so it’s finally time to deal with things head on. There’s a few emotional and poignant scenes, especially with Jase. I don’t have a high opinion of him regarding how he handled Dorothy and then the whole messy aftermath, but he’s not a bad guy overall. Watching him try to clean himself up and make amends was definitely progress, particularly towards rebuilding a relationship with his family and daughters. As for Dorothy, I finally saw her happy and content. The girl with romantic dreams may not have had a conventional hearts and flowers path, but she got the best guy for her in the end.

People Who Live In Glass Houses SHOULD Read!

Let me start off by saying that I was completely surprised I could love these stories and this series as much as I do. With all the chaos, dysfunction, violence, betrayal, etc. that lives in these stories, I still find myself wanting more and even feeling a bit guilty that I like some of these characters given their histories and the pain they have inflicted upon others. My sister first told me about this series a few months ago. We read a lot and I read mostly paranormal, but she insisted that I would love this series. I read the synopsis for the first book and even some reviews about Deuce and Eva, and could not fathom how I would get into these characters. I had already made my mind up and was certain that I would not respect any one of them nor could I condone what they do to their loved ones, and sometimes innocent bystanders in general. However, I gave it a chance and went in with an open mind. I may not agree with a lot of the stuff that happens in these stories, nor understand how these women deal with their men, BUT I don't have to. There lies the beauty in it-who knew I would grow to care for these characters and their stories as much as I have. I grew up in a household where loyalty, respect, violence, and love trumped everything else and in that order sometimes. Love comes out and comes through in different ways, and there isn't a wrong love nor a right, it just is what it is. I think the reason there are some really in depth and negative reviews about the series is because its too hard for people to walk out of their own glass houses and really see beyond the surface of what scares them about these stories. I never thought I could sympathize with a man, who in my mind, has raped women regardless if they're club whores and are passed out drunk, but I did. I actually not only sympathize with him but grew to understand why he felt he had to it that way, and am happy for him that he has found peace within himself and now love. Does this make me a bad person, ummm NO. It takes me to a place where I realize that I am no one to judge and to recognize that everyone has a story and is going through something, and we are all not without sin:) The different dichotomies that play through out the books will touch you in places you didn't think could get that deep and reach you. Just when I thought I had a favorite couple and/or story, I realized I have no favorites because I've learned something from all the relationships and stories. Each one, if sold separately:), is different and unexpected from the other and that's how it is supposed to be because each love is different and unlike any other; each story is different and unlike the others; and yet each is intertwined with one another and then connects to the reader. Well done Madeline, you're one of the few authors I've read where I have sympathy for the devil, and even some love for it. Can't wait for Preacher and ZZ-highly recommend the series.

Dorothy and..............

3.5 " Giving it 4 because the series means so much to me overall so I gotta round up" Stars!!! ******Slight Spoilers below***** I have had time to think, reflect, analyze, and think some more! I have vented, reread, talked to others..... Now I am ready! This book, I have to say, I have been dying for since I put UnDeniable down. Dorothy reeled me in with that book and became one of my favorite characters. I felt her pain and heartache, loving Jase and knowing he would never leave his wife. I could not wait for this story. I think because of this, I was expecting a lot more. This book has a completely different feel than the other books. I was okay with that and even enjoyed the lower angst, drama. I relished every word Madeline wrote. For me, no one writes like her and she is nothing but talent. However, I wanted more with Hawk and Dorothy, as well as Jase and Dorothy. We had a few flashbacks, but I guess I am greedy and didn't think we had enough to see their relationships and connect. The things that worked for me is #1... The writing. Although the story for me dragged at times, Madeline has a way with words that just makes you feel so much. You completely lose yourself in her work and characters. That is why she is one of my all time favorite authors. There is just no one like her! I really want to be her when I grow up!! I also LOVED Hawk. His love, patience, understanding, loyalty, and sexiness is unmatched to me. I also loved Dorothy and how much she has grown. She realized her mistakes and made sure not to repeat them. Jase also has a very special place in my heart and although I wanted him to man up in book one, I get where he was coming from and how torn he was. He truly loved D, but was scared. But I really was glad to see his growth into the Jase I knew he was deep down! This book is about redemption, hope, new beginnings, and realizing where your home is. All the characters grew and are in a great place and where they should be. Now the things that didn't work for me..... Dorothy got her HEA.... Not saying with which one but I hated the amount of time it took for her to get it completely and for them to be free and together. Maybe because she is so dear to me, I just wanted it sooner. And I wanted to see more happy times with them together. I felt the ending was a bit abrupt. The time gone and wasted killed me. But I have to say, I LOVE who she chose! And one thing that really bothered me is something between Kami and Cox. They have also been a favorite couple of mine... They are CRAZY but crazy for each other. I felt in this book, Kami overlooked things that I just don't see her doing. In previous books, she would kill Cox if he just looked at a girl...... Overall, I was a bit disappointed but it could totally be me and my expectations. However, this series is still one of my favorites. I can't wait for Preachers story, and ZZ, I kind of want him to rot away right now! But that Epilogue has me intrigued.

Team Dorothy

Unbeloved (Undeniable #4) By: Madeline Sheehan 5/5 stars Madeline Sheehan does it again! This woman seriously rocks!! I admit that I was unsure of how this book would play out, was pleasantly shocked & loved it. Especially with the history between Dorothy & Jase and Dorothy & Hawk and the Hells Horsemen of Miles City, Montana. Unbeloved is the story of Dorothy and her men, Jase and Hawk. Through the first 3 books in this series, we know of Dorothy & Jase’s long-term affair, spanning 17 years. Dorothy was totally in love with Jase and Jase definitely had feelings for her, though it may have been more obsession, possession and lust. Dorothy was officially labeled as a club whore, but she wasn’t. She belonged to Jase and Jase only. We know that Jase’s wife Chrissy shot Dorothy at a club picnic when Dorothy was 8 months pregnant with her son Christopher. And then come to find out at the hospital, Dorothy’s son was Hawk’s, not Jase’s. Dorothy had finally grown tired of Jase’s games and his lying promises that he would leave his wife for her. The subsequent years after Dorothy was released from the hospital and trying to regain her memory and rebuild her life, she shut both Jase and Hawk out of her life. She allowed Hawk to remain in and be a part of their son’s life. But she suffers from the guilt of her affair with Jase, the guilt of the destruction that their affair caused, Chrissy ending up in prison, Jase becoming an alcoholic and not having a good relationship with his daughters, and the tension that her secret affair with Hawk had caused within the club between the brothers. There were circumstances that brought Dorothy back to Miles City, where she finally discovered or realized the truths about herself and her life. She was able to face her past, her fears and start looking forward to the future. Whether you’re Team Jase or Team Hawk, there is a lot that they all have to work through so that they can move forward. I am Team Dorothy. I absolutely loved seeing the interactions between all the club members and the old ladies. We got to see a lot of Deuce (yay!!) and Eva, Kami & Cox, Ripper & Danny and of course Cage & Tegen. I especially loved the interactions between Preacher and Deuce!! I wouldn’t mind if Ms. Sheehan took the series farther, with the books about the kids of the Hells Horsemen. The only semi-spoiler that I’ll give is that this book isn’t a love triangle throughout the whole book, which I was a little concerned about, I didn’t want a book that was just about angsty drama. Situations are faced head on and dealt with. I’m really excited for UnDeserving which is Preacher’s story, in the beginning of how he came to be the man he is that we know and love. And the epilogue which is a lead in for ZZ’s book, UnDying, was intense!! I’m stoked!! The book ends at 91% with previews of two other books.

It's A Homecoming Just Like The Waltons, Except With Guns, Drugs, Sex, and Club Hookahs

Loved it! By the time I finished reading UnBeloved, I felt as if I had just hopped off a roller coaster. This book had me crying, nervous, laughing, and filled with excitement. UnBeloved is the 4th book in the saga of Hell's Horsemen Motorcycle Club. I think it's safe to say that this series has moved from just being an MC romance genre to an MC story. This installment deals primarily with the aftermath and dealing with the wounds, both physically and emotionally, from the relationship between Jase/Dorothy/Hawk from years earlier, betrayal from one of the brothers, the spiraling downfall of a former brother, the Russian Mafia, and finding redemption and hope in places that one doesn't expect to find it. If this story feels different than previous stories, that's because it is different. This story doesn't deal with a new love, rather it is dealing with the aftermath of two love affairs that span nearly 20 years. Before I launch into a full review of UnBeloved, I want to talk about the UnDeniable series as a whole. Only a few books have connected with me in such a way that I want to experience them over and over. The in-depth writing of Madeline Sheehan provokes my imagination and connects me to characters that I never thought I could relate. This series is pioneering because the author has taken a band of outlaws, old ladies, and club bunnies; characters so varied, and gives them each a unique voice. At times their tale is sad and tragic, yet we see humor, loyalty, and undying love. Sheehan portrays their beauty and flaws honestly, never apologizing or pleading with the reader to embrace them. Also trailblazing is that the characters are allowed to age, and it's never been so evident than in this fourth book. Whether or not it was the author's intent, she is breaking new ground because the reader watches as the young, flighty women from the earlier books progress from their 20s and 30s , into their 40s and 50s. *gasp* Book characters having a life and sex after 40; I thought at that age, they were supposed to be lead out into a pasture to wait for the Grim Reaper; never to be seen again in the story. UnBeloved is the story of Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk, and how the actions of each affected not only them, but the lives of their families. If I could only use a few words to describe UnBeloved, they would be "redemption", "forgiveness" AND "homecoming". In UnBeautifully, we saw how their love turned into an F5 tornado, creating a path of destruction for not only them but everyone around them. Chrissy, Jase's wife, was convicted of first degree attempted murder for shooting a very pregnant Dorothy, Dorothy shunning both men and the club, Jase losing his mistress and family, and Hawk leaving his brothers and going nomad. Seven years later, the trio still haven't addressed the carnage left by their love vortex, until an emergency has everyone coming home, and the trio is finally forced to walk through the broken mess, and assess the damage and rebuild. The story begins with Dorothy being called back to Miles City, Montana due to an emergency. Once she is inside the clubhouse, she is informed that one of the Horsemen isn't who he has claimed to be and has been covering up his past. So the entire club is reeling from this betrayal, and also from one of their own being held hostage. In dealing with the dire situation, Dorothy is forced to a day of reckoning, seven years after surviving the gunshot, she has to deal with the issues from her past. Jase is also forced to come to terms with the poor choices made years ago. Instead of hiding from the issues like Dorothy did by moving away, Jase has hid from them inside a liquor bottle. Jase's road to redemption comes from the most unlikely source. When he finally comes face-to-face, he knows that he has to make amends and stop the vicious cycle. Hawk has literally ran from all the problems from the past, going nomad and seeking refuge in the road. Now all the running and hiding comes to an abrupt halt. As in any family, when there is an emergency and the chips are down, everyone comes together, and this MC family is no different. Once again I get to see my favorite character, "DEEEEEEEEUUUUUUCCCCEEEE!". What can I say, I've loved him since UnDeniable; even when he was an a-- hole at times. My love for Deuce has not wavered, if anything, it has grown. Deuce is still a force to be reckoned with, and it is never more evident than the scene on the highway between he and Preacher, and when he and Ripper pay a visit to Hawk. Cox and Kami are still fighting as usual, and Cox's humor has grown even more vulgar and dirty, as impossible as that seems. OMG, that one scene had me laughing and gagging at the same time. Eva's influence on the club is evident in how everyone, including the women, views it not as a club, but rather another home. The women have formed tight bonds, and just like the Horsemen being brothers, the gals also have a sisterhood. *******CAUTION BELOW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK **** I have to talk about my two favorite scenes: 1. the highway scene and 2. the Vegas arena scene. The highway scene, oh that highway scene, that one is my favorite. Sheehan's writing is pure perfection, from her description of the surroundings to the bantering between the characters, if I felt anymore immersed in that scene, I would have needed to throw on my coat and gloves. The spoken dialogue and unspoken thoughts from each character is profound, beautiful, and insightful. That scene showcases how the men have progressed since the beginning of the series; it's powerful and serene at the same time. The Vegas scene, let's just say that I had goosebumps when Sheehan first walks us through the arena, that scene is dark and scary. I didn't know what to expect. Okay, no more, because I don't want to give away a spoiler...... As the characters find reckoning, redemption, forgiveness, and peace during their homecoming; some say a sad goodbye. Like a regular family, sometimes we lose members, and this story is no different: one deciding to take the road that leads to home, one's path taking him to jail where he doesn't pass GO and collect $200, and ZZ's route, let's just call Z's road "psycho path", and a couple of bikers that take the journey on that eternal highway through the Harley Davidson's pearly gates. In the words of Dorothy Kelley Matthews "This is the story of us all...all our fates intertwined, and for that reason alone, pain and death be damned, I wouldn't change a thing." As for me, I wouldn't miss the ride on a rocky road with this band of outlaws, old ladies, and club hookahs for anything. Vroom, vroom!!

HLB Reviews Unbeloved

So I picked up this book after reading another motorcycle club book and decided I wanted to read another with the same theme. Someone recommended this series, and this synopsis just kind of spoke to me, there just seemed to be a lot going on even with the synopsis that I just had to know how it turned out in the book. I have to say this is completely not at all what I was expected, it was way more, and I loved it. So from the synopsis I kind of got that there would be some time passages within the book, but I was expecting the book to be told from a young girls perspective, but the story is actually told from basically everyones perspective after the fact. So Dorothy was married young and was having an affair with married man (with kids) Jase and then she starts sleeping with Hawk behind his back. This situation is obviously more complicated then that, but when the book starts it after every relationship has imploded, years in the future. I was really worried about how that would play out, I mean I wanted to be in on the action! I wanted to experience the whole love triangle thing. But it totally worked for this book, and in my opinion it actually came off more authentic. I mean everyone has relationships when they are young that kind of form who you are as a person, and it's not really until you are older and can look back that you get perspective and like in this case are given the opportunity to kind of fix things. I actually don't have super strong feelings about Dorothy, she made some mistakes in her past and she's doing her best to be a good mom. She's been through some tough stuff, but even though she doesn't see herself as strong, but she really is actually a strong person, she had to be in order to come back into the motorcycle club when things hit he fan with Hawk. I did however have strong feelings for Jase and Hawk both, I thought they were strong characters. I thought that Jase's hole that he had put himself in with his drinking and depression, it was some times hard to read, but it was great too. There were moments that my heart kind of broke for him and moments when I was actually was proud of him. Hawk though was a just steamy to me, I get the appeal, like totally. But he had a lot more depth than I was expecting, he had backstory and he has real emotional bonds to the other characters. So the main reason I loved this book was because while I wasn't head over heels for any one character (generally I liked them all), but I LOVED the way they interacted. The scenes that were powerful were the ones where a bunch of characters come together and you can feel the tension and you feel like you're just in that moment with them. When I read I always feel something about a book, I get annoyed at character, sometimes my eyes get misty at an emotional event, butterflies happen when romance two characters have been building takes that first step, and I laugh out loud a lot. This book takes the CAKE though. I very rarely full on ugly cry at a book, but there is this goodbye scene in this book that had me going like hardcore, and I think it comes down to the fact that it was about family, not just too people in love saying goodbye, but a whole group of people, who cared and loved one another trying to fit everything into these fleeting moments, and we are talking big bad bikers here, that just had me going. Serious props for getting that kind of emotion out of me. Long story short (think this is my longest review ever) this book is just emotionally powerful. It shows love in a real a light, that spans years, a lifetime really, not just a couple months in college or a year of adulthood, you really get a glimpse into the whole life of these great characters. The motorcycle club theme is done really well, I love the family dynamics it created. But I think most of all I loved that no character outshines anyone, the best way I can explain is this (forgive me I'm a sports girl): no one player wins the game, only when the players completely work together do you end up with something amazing, and that's what this cast of characters did. So go buy this book. Seriously. Or maybe start with the beginning of the series, but read this one for sure.

FIVE EMOTIONAL STARS- MADELINE SHEEHAN ALWAYS LEAVES ME WANTING MORE!

"I wasn’t always broken; we are all born pure. It is our journey that burdens us and leads us astray . Our mistakes that beat us down and cover us in guilt and shame, burying us a little more with each successive hardship. It is up to us to dig ourselves out, to come to terms with our faults, to embrace not only our imperfections but those of the ones we love, and to once again find the path we strayed from." Unbeloved is the story I’ve been waiting what seems like a lifetime for, the story of Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk. This is the book I had been anticipating above all others and finally I got it! Told from alternating points of view of all three main characters and a series of flashbacks and fast-forwards, the story could have been disjointed, but it was anything but. The pacing was flawless and smooth and the author had me from the very start and never let go. "This isn’t just my story, the story of a broken woman who lost her way. It’s also the story of my children, the men I loved, and the friends who were more family to me than my own. This is the story of us all, all our fates intertwined. And for that reason alone, pain and death be damned, I wouldn’t change a thing." Readers expecting a dark and gritty MC/BIKER story filled with sex and mayhem may be disappointed. Unbeloved certainly wasn't what I expected, but it wasn't a disappointment either. It was definitely a different book than others in the Undeniable series. It was a surprisingly emotional read, filled with heartbreak, reflection, and misery at times. Unbeloved was as much a story about growing up, accepting responsibilities for past mistakes, and for each of the main characters, the road to redemption. It was the first book in the series that had me crying (more than once), slow quiet tears, as I hurt right along with the characters as they tried to accept the bitter taste of regret and wasted opportunities, of pain caused to those that should have been cared and protected but that were neglected and passed over... It would have been easy to pick apart these characters actions and behaviors. They all were certainly flawed. But Sheehan did a wonderful job of giving a glimpse into each characters motives, their intentions, even when motivated by nothing but selfishness and ego. Perhaps I had an easier time accepting each character and the many mistakes they made along the way because of the suffering and heartache each journeyed through. "I wanted to live the fairy tale, to become someone’s everything and anything, to be his princess. I wanted my happily-ever-after. There was only one problem. Instead of finding my prince, I found a whole mess of trouble." There were some lighter parts, not everything was so heavy. I loved the interactions between Preacher and Deuce. Deuce seemed like he really had grown into his own, more mellow, more of a mentor and caretaker of the members of the club. Cox and Kami were as crazy and wild as ever. The author did a good job of catching up with all the characters we love but not taking up too much story line with them. Eva’s friendship and encouragement of Dorothy had me laughing. Unbeloved was low on grit but high on real. Parts of the story were still wild and crazy but the bulk of the the story was about human nature and learning to move on than the normal club drama I was expecting. It was also lower on steam than the other books in the series. I love my steam as much as the next romance reader, maybe even more =) But even though Unbeloved wasn’t sex heavy, I absolutely, positively didn’t miss a thing. The connection between these characters, this club, came across loud and clear and nothing was lacking. Overall, I’m not sure Unbeloved was my favorite of the series but it was a solid read, through and through. The depth of emotion, the development of characters...all of it worked for me. It wasn't what I was expecting, but I loved it all the same. A solid FIVE STARS for the always consistent and amazing Madeline Sheehan! A quick note, when I finished Unattainable, I couldn’t stop thinking about Dirty. When I finished Unbeloved, it was all about ZZ. Madeline Sheehan always leaevs me wanting more. ZZ's been lurking in my mind for months now and Unbeloved did nothing but bring him to the forefront. The ending of Unbeloved was maddening and I have no idea how I'm going to make it to the release of Undying. I have no idea how this story line is going but I'm so glad I'll be there for the ride!

AMAZING

In all my life, the hundreds of books I’ve devoured, I’ve never read such amazing, well written stories. There is no doubt in my mind that Madeline Sheehan was born to write, to tell a story and to create such epic characters you carry them with you even after the story is finished. This is her destiny and I’m so happy she decided to publish all those years ago to share this amazing series with us. I first fell in “like” with Madeline Sheehan’s UnDeniable. It was everything a love story should be. Real, honest, ugly, terrifying, gut wrenching and raw. Then, I fell in love with her when I finished UnBeautifully. All that emotion packed into one story astounded me and made me want to become a better writer. I started reaching stalker status with UnAttainable. Tegan is probably my favorite heroine out of any romance novel in the history of ever. She’s just fantastic and everything I would want in a friend. Now, we’re at UnBeloved and I don’t even know what to feel. After finishing this phenomenal book only minutes ago, I’m a little bit of everywhere. There’s not one emotion I didn’t feel during the last few hours. I was happy and sad. I was laughing my butt off one second then crying my eyes out the next. I was falling in love with characters I always had a soft spot for and then falling for the ones that I never saw possible. This is a story about love, forgiveness, moving forward and learning to live with the mistakes of your past. Embracing them and allowing them to guide you, not define you. “Life is made up of moments, big ones and little, the good and bad. We never remember the grey matter, the space in between, only the moments in time that have the ability to transform us in some way, affect us to completely that the memory would be forever etched upon who we were, who we are and who we would become” I don’t know about you, but I was a little sad when the release of UnBeloved needed to be pushed back. I felt like I had been waiting on pins and needles for months, salivating over the announcement of a new release date. To get a story this wonderful …. “I will wait for *effing*ever" … for you all to devour and pray to everything holy you didn’t read it … just so you can read it again for the first time with all the wonder and excitement as you will the first time. Even though this story revolves around Dorothy/Jase/Hawk, you’re going to get characters from novels past, and they don’t disappoint. They give you a greater meaning as to what this series is really about. Family. Love. Loyalty. Honor. Yes, we all love the badboy biker aspect, but if you delve just a little further into the depth of these stories, you’ll see that common thread between them all. You’re getting so much more than “bikers” … you’re getting … everything. Even with that being said, all love triangles must come to an end, and it did end. It hurt, it was painful, but the end result was true beauty. “But there’s only one that can steal your soul, that untouchable, unreachable place inside of you that exists only in your mind, that warms and cools, flutters and shakes without rhyme or reason, and makes it theirs forever.” Deuce is very present in this story and his evolution is astounding. I was shocked, but so pleased as what I read. I can’t tell you, but I can promise you’ll see the leader of our fearless gang in an entirely new light. The other guys … Cox (still the same, but slightly different … hilarious and crude, but with a little maturity behind him), Cage (it’s like watching my own child grow up right in front of me), Tegan (still a smart mouthed spit-fire, but you’ll notice slight changes), Kami (welp … she’s Cami), Eva (who never fails to make me want to be a better woman). I could go on and on about the slight, almost nonexistent changes in these guys, but you’re just going to have to read it. My final note … Madeline Sheehan … I adore you. I adore your stories, your characters, your wit, your grittiness, your raw, unscripted emotion, your way of wording a sentence to make it flow like poetry, your angst and your time. With every new book, I’m a little more in awe of you. I’m more than proud to have received an ARC of this book. Even more than that, I’m honored to call you a friend. I give UnBeloved the most stars possible. If that’s 5, then so be it, but it deserves so much more.

The QUEEN OF MC HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!!

UnBeloved by Madeline Sheehan Series: UnDeniable #4 (Must be read in order) Genre: Contemporary MC Romance Age Group: Adult Release Date: June 23rd 2014 Length: 255 pages Format: Kindle Source: Purchased Review Date: June 28th 2014 Steam Rating: Hot Overall Rating: 5 STARS Review: The QUEEN OF MC HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!! I must be impossible for Madeline to write a bad MC novel. I was VERY curious to see how she was going to tell the story of Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk. I think we all knew that Hawk was the right one for Dorothy, but we also knew that Jase was the man she had loved forever. Now that both men finally are ready to give her everything who will she choose? Or will she decide to leave them both behind and move on? She has been living without either of them for years since the shooting. What could change this? ← A LOT changes, and you will have to just hold on for the ride of your life to find out what! It is no secret that I am a total fangirl of Madeline Sheehan. Seriously. I have been in awe of this series since I read the first book. All other MC books seem to pale in comparison. She raised the bar so high it makes it almost impossible for another to get into this genre without having to compete with her novels–which are written to perfection. Her characters are so raw, flawed, and uninhibited. They do horrible things, but somehow we don’t think of them as horrible people–at least I don’t. But she doesn’t ask you to like them, it actually seems as though she is daring you to dislike them. It is useless though to fight it–you WILL like them–most likely even love them. Dorothy has been like a mother figure to the MC, not an “old lady” but also not a “club wh0re.” Being in the middle hasn’t been easy on her all these years, and she had finally broken free of her toxic relationship with Jase when she was shot by his wife. UnBeloved starts off years later when she is living in California with her (and Hawk’s) son. She is content but not happy. "My weaknesses, my choices, and my decisions–the ones I made and the ones I didn’t–all took me down a rocky road filled with regret, heartbreak, and pain. And eventually, they nearly killed me." However, a tragedy strikes that brings her back to Montana, and back to the MC. Shocking secrets are revealed, lies are uncovered, and betrayal is felt as a result. Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk must face each other and their issues come to a head–will they all survive this craziness? When Dorothy faces her past she comes to some dramatic revelations. She has loved both of these men but she must let one or both go for good. Beneath my cheek, Jase’s chest heaved as he snorted. “I was an a$$hole.” I nodded. “The worst kind of a$$hole.” I whispered. “The kind who thinks he’s a good guy.” We know from UnAttainable that Jase has been spiraling downward for awhile. It was hard to watch, and it couldn’t last forever–something had to give. And it did. I loved him but I also felt like he was a selfish b@$t@rd that finally got what he deserved when he found out about Hawk, Dorothy, and the fact that the baby wasn’t his. Dorothy being back now brought him to his knees, and he broke inside for everything he has lost–his wife, his children, and Dorothy. As for Hawk, I am completely in love with him. I wanted him and Dorothy to be together, and not just because of the baby. I thought he was the better person and he deserved her. There was so much more to him than we originally thought. His character goes so much deeper, we didn’t even scratch the surface in the previous novels. They say what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. Well, he didnt know about all that. But it sure as sh#t changes everything. ~ James “Hawk” Young Then there is the end. I was literally a sobbing mess for the last 20% of it :( I was shocked. I couldn’t believe what was happening… but then again I never knew what was coming, it was completely UnPredictable ;) Overall, this was a FABULOUS addition to this series and I enjoyed every second of it. My only complaint is that it didn’t last forever. Preacher’s story is next and I am already very anxious for it. HAIL Madeline, you fr@@kin’ ROCK!!! ~StacyHgg Books Unhinged Book Blog

A perfect balance of grit, when needed but this also had so much tender tossed in.

Dorothy had loved two men and been loved by two men. But both of those relationships were hidden in the shadows - dirty little secrets. One woman waiting for a man to choose her, one man waiting for a woman to choose him and one man that simply did not want to make that choice. But Dorothy's story doesn't just begin now, her story started decades ago when she was a wife to a man she didn't love and became the mistress of a man that she would never be able to call her own. But through those decades, she had a secret of her own, another man that she fell in love with. For Dorothy these men were nearly everything she could have asked for, but she was kept hidden... she was never able to enjoy love in the open with either man that owned her heart. Then it all came to an end when a bullet nearly took her life and the life she created with one of those two men. Jace has spent his whole life being somebody else, wanting things he didn't have. The wife and kids at home were not enough for him, his life needed something else to fill it. That filler came in the form of a five foot redhead named Dorothy. But Jace was never going to make the decision to leave his wife, but unfortunately that decision was made by him when his cheating ways nearly cost him his Dorothy. Hawk couldn't take his eyes off of her. He knew that taking her was a betrayal to his club, to his brother but she filled a void in him that he never imagined would be filled. His life before the club didn't exist, who he was before he became Hawk faded into the darkness and it left him with nothing but the present. Until Dorothy gave him a future... a family. But that family was missing one key person, Dorothy. When Hawk fails to show up for his son at Christmas Dorothy calls the one man that would know what to do, Deuce. With Hawk missing, Dorothy has no choice but to go back home and face her past head on. But being back at the club with a broken (and available) Jace and being worried over Hawk placed Dorothy at a crossroads where she has to make a choice. --------------------- Gah! My heart was all over the place during this read. For fragments of time I wavered on her choice, which man deserved to have this woman... which one would cherish her. Sure Jace wasn't the greatest of men, keeping her a secret and always promising her the world but never giving it - but he had loved her. He just didn't have his own stuff together enough to realize that he was always looking for something else to make him happy. And him losing everything was just heartbreaking. For Hawk. That poor guy. Having to watch Jace with Dorothy all those years and watch her break each and every time. But Hawk took what he wanted and he wasn't going to let some claim made by one of his brothers stand in his way. His battle back to his boy and the lengths he was willing to go for the club, for the man that saved him... those final moments when that choice was made shattered my heart. But what I absolutely loved about this book more than just the dynamic of Dorothy, Jace & Hawk was the way that Madeline Sheehan gave us so much in this story. So much time passes that you get so many pieces of the future for all of these characters, some of them make you smile and others cause you to get a little choked up. But no doubt about it, you walk away loving this series more than you ever imagined when you are finished. A perfect balance of grit, when needed but this also had so much tender tossed in. Every mistake, poor choice was owned by each and in the end those things brought three people into each other’s lives, and that damaged path paved in poor decisions joined two of them in a bond that time could not break. I absolutely loved every second of this book, the way the story was told - the span of time it elapsed and most of all I loved Dorothy.

Resolution and happiness for Dorothy finally

4-4.5 stars. I’ve been anxious to find out how things go down between Dorothy, Jase and Hawk even since Unbeautifully. So many years have gone by since Dorothy was first brought to the club by Jase. And a lot has happened between them. I definitely did not see the origin of Hawk’s story coming, that was an interesting twist for so many reasons. And then there’s ZZ who has changed so much since the beginning and it really makes me sad because I want better for him and really look forward to the final book. Dorothy had my sympathy and she has suffered for a long time. She had unconditional love right there at her fingertips, but it wasn’t under ideal circumstances so she didn’t quite see it for what it was. Jase has screwed his life up colossally and it seems like he’s hitting the point of no return with the huge pile of regrets. Hawk never revealed much about himself so he remained a bit mysterious until now. I really loved discovering him as a person rather than just the roles he plays as club member, friend, lover and father. He surprised me with how intense, solid and steady he is. It became so apparent as to who was the best fit for Dorothy and she could finally admit it to herself. One was a mirror image of her and the other balanced her. All three of them have run away from their problems in some fashion so it’s finally time to deal with things head on. There’s a few emotional and poignant scenes, especially with Jase. I don’t have a high opinion of him regarding how he handled Dorothy and then the whole messy aftermath, but he’s not a bad guy overall. Watching him try to clean himself up and make amends was definitely progress, particularly towards rebuilding a relationship with his family and daughters. As for Dorothy, I finally saw her happy and content. The girl with romantic dreams may not have had a conventional hearts and flowers path, but she got the best guy for her in the end.

People Who Live In Glass Houses SHOULD Read!

Let me start off by saying that I was completely surprised I could love these stories and this series as much as I do. With all the chaos, dysfunction, violence, betrayal, etc. that lives in these stories, I still find myself wanting more and even feeling a bit guilty that I like some of these characters given their histories and the pain they have inflicted upon others. My sister first told me about this series a few months ago. We read a lot and I read mostly paranormal, but she insisted that I would love this series. I read the synopsis for the first book and even some reviews about Deuce and Eva, and could not fathom how I would get into these characters. I had already made my mind up and was certain that I would not respect any one of them nor could I condone what they do to their loved ones, and sometimes innocent bystanders in general. However, I gave it a chance and went in with an open mind. I may not agree with a lot of the stuff that happens in these stories, nor understand how these women deal with their men, BUT I don't have to. There lies the beauty in it-who knew I would grow to care for these characters and their stories as much as I have. I grew up in a household where loyalty, respect, violence, and love trumped everything else and in that order sometimes. Love comes out and comes through in different ways, and there isn't a wrong love nor a right, it just is what it is. I think the reason there are some really in depth and negative reviews about the series is because its too hard for people to walk out of their own glass houses and really see beyond the surface of what scares them about these stories. I never thought I could sympathize with a man, who in my mind, has raped women regardless if they're club whores and are passed out drunk, but I did. I actually not only sympathize with him but grew to understand why he felt he had to it that way, and am happy for him that he has found peace within himself and now love. Does this make me a bad person, ummm NO. It takes me to a place where I realize that I am no one to judge and to recognize that everyone has a story and is going through something, and we are all not without sin:) The different dichotomies that play through out the books will touch you in places you didn't think could get that deep and reach you. Just when I thought I had a favorite couple and/or story, I realized I have no favorites because I've learned something from all the relationships and stories. Each one, if sold separately:), is different and unexpected from the other and that's how it is supposed to be because each love is different and unlike any other; each story is different and unlike the others; and yet each is intertwined with one another and then connects to the reader. Well done Madeline, you're one of the few authors I've read where I have sympathy for the devil, and even some love for it. Can't wait for Preacher and ZZ-highly recommend the series.

Dorothy and..............

3.5 " Giving it 4 because the series means so much to me overall so I gotta round up" Stars!!! ******Slight Spoilers below***** I have had time to think, reflect, analyze, and think some more! I have vented, reread, talked to others..... Now I am ready! This book, I have to say, I have been dying for since I put UnDeniable down. Dorothy reeled me in with that book and became one of my favorite characters. I felt her pain and heartache, loving Jase and knowing he would never leave his wife. I could not wait for this story. I think because of this, I was expecting a lot more. This book has a completely different feel than the other books. I was okay with that and even enjoyed the lower angst, drama. I relished every word Madeline wrote. For me, no one writes like her and she is nothing but talent. However, I wanted more with Hawk and Dorothy, as well as Jase and Dorothy. We had a few flashbacks, but I guess I am greedy and didn't think we had enough to see their relationships and connect. The things that worked for me is #1... The writing. Although the story for me dragged at times, Madeline has a way with words that just makes you feel so much. You completely lose yourself in her work and characters. That is why she is one of my all time favorite authors. There is just no one like her! I really want to be her when I grow up!! I also LOVED Hawk. His love, patience, understanding, loyalty, and sexiness is unmatched to me. I also loved Dorothy and how much she has grown. She realized her mistakes and made sure not to repeat them. Jase also has a very special place in my heart and although I wanted him to man up in book one, I get where he was coming from and how torn he was. He truly loved D, but was scared. But I really was glad to see his growth into the Jase I knew he was deep down! This book is about redemption, hope, new beginnings, and realizing where your home is. All the characters grew and are in a great place and where they should be. Now the things that didn't work for me..... Dorothy got her HEA.... Not saying with which one but I hated the amount of time it took for her to get it completely and for them to be free and together. Maybe because she is so dear to me, I just wanted it sooner. And I wanted to see more happy times with them together. I felt the ending was a bit abrupt. The time gone and wasted killed me. But I have to say, I LOVE who she chose! And one thing that really bothered me is something between Kami and Cox. They have also been a favorite couple of mine... They are CRAZY but crazy for each other. I felt in this book, Kami overlooked things that I just don't see her doing. In previous books, she would kill Cox if he just looked at a girl...... Overall, I was a bit disappointed but it could totally be me and my expectations. However, this series is still one of my favorites. I can't wait for Preachers story, and ZZ, I kind of want him to rot away right now! But that Epilogue has me intrigued.

Team Dorothy

Unbeloved (Undeniable #4) By: Madeline Sheehan 5/5 stars Madeline Sheehan does it again! This woman seriously rocks!! I admit that I was unsure of how this book would play out, was pleasantly shocked & loved it. Especially with the history between Dorothy & Jase and Dorothy & Hawk and the Hells Horsemen of Miles City, Montana. Unbeloved is the story of Dorothy and her men, Jase and Hawk. Through the first 3 books in this series, we know of Dorothy & Jase’s long-term affair, spanning 17 years. Dorothy was totally in love with Jase and Jase definitely had feelings for her, though it may have been more obsession, possession and lust. Dorothy was officially labeled as a club whore, but she wasn’t. She belonged to Jase and Jase only. We know that Jase’s wife Chrissy shot Dorothy at a club picnic when Dorothy was 8 months pregnant with her son Christopher. And then come to find out at the hospital, Dorothy’s son was Hawk’s, not Jase’s. Dorothy had finally grown tired of Jase’s games and his lying promises that he would leave his wife for her. The subsequent years after Dorothy was released from the hospital and trying to regain her memory and rebuild her life, she shut both Jase and Hawk out of her life. She allowed Hawk to remain in and be a part of their son’s life. But she suffers from the guilt of her affair with Jase, the guilt of the destruction that their affair caused, Chrissy ending up in prison, Jase becoming an alcoholic and not having a good relationship with his daughters, and the tension that her secret affair with Hawk had caused within the club between the brothers. There were circumstances that brought Dorothy back to Miles City, where she finally discovered or realized the truths about herself and her life. She was able to face her past, her fears and start looking forward to the future. Whether you’re Team Jase or Team Hawk, there is a lot that they all have to work through so that they can move forward. I am Team Dorothy. I absolutely loved seeing the interactions between all the club members and the old ladies. We got to see a lot of Deuce (yay!!) and Eva, Kami & Cox, Ripper & Danny and of course Cage & Tegen. I especially loved the interactions between Preacher and Deuce!! I wouldn’t mind if Ms. Sheehan took the series farther, with the books about the kids of the Hells Horsemen. The only semi-spoiler that I’ll give is that this book isn’t a love triangle throughout the whole book, which I was a little concerned about, I didn’t want a book that was just about angsty drama. Situations are faced head on and dealt with. I’m really excited for UnDeserving which is Preacher’s story, in the beginning of how he came to be the man he is that we know and love. And the epilogue which is a lead in for ZZ’s book, UnDying, was intense!! I’m stoked!! The book ends at 91% with previews of two other books.

Bland and Below My Expectations

Rating: 2.5 Stars I had been looking forward to getting the details on the hot mess of a 20 year relationship between Dorothy, Jase and Hawk. Unfortunately, I did not get it in "Unbeloved". This was the story of Dorothy (Club whore, Mistress of Jase, having affair with Hawk, mother of Christopher [Hawk's son]), Jase (MC member, MC brother to Hawk, married, having affair with Dorothy) and Hawk(MC member, MC brother to Jase, having affair with Dorothy) and the aftermath of a love triangle that did a lot of damage to many people. This book did not tell the story of their past relationship, it told the story about who Dorothy ultimately decided to be with. No one, Jase, Hawk, someone new? I'm not telling, read the book to find out. Some serious motorcycle club drama happens that has Dorothy going back to Deuce and the Hell's Horsemen Motorcycle club. She is finally confronted where she has to deal with her mistakes and decisions she made in the past concerning her affairs with Jase and Hawk. She finally comes to terms with who she truly loves and wants to be with. This book basically follows Dorothy's journey to finding love with one of the men. The man she did not choose to be with, the book follows his journey of him moving on without Dorothy. This was the long and short of the book. The motorcycle club faced a new threat that aligned with an old enemy to bring some much needed drama to this bland story. The MC drama had the potential to be interesting if it was covered in more detail. I was very glad that some of my favorite characters made appearances: Deuce, Eva, Cox, Kami, Ripper, Preacher. The banter between Cox and Ripper was so funny! There should have been more of their scenes in the book. Deuce was Deuce! It was pleasing to see Deuce's emotional side in this book. The reason he took over the club and recruited some of the club members was absolutely beautiful. I was treated to seeing many faces of Deuce, but he still remained the strong, dominant, sexy Prez! He will always be my favorite book biker!! I don't know what happened with this book. The only reason I'm rating it as high as 3 stars is because Deuce, Cox, and Ripper played a role. This started out as a cutting edge series and it looks like it is headed in the wrong direction. I'm hoping it gets back on track in the coming books. Since our main bikers are getting older, perhaps it's time to let the young-ins' come to the forefront and let the older bikers consult. I would love to see how Cage is handling things and for Tegan to just go away (death, divorce, serious illness...just go away). Why Not 5 Stars? The story of Dorothy, Jase and Hawk was not told!!! There were a few flashbacks on Dorothy meeting Jase for the very first time and Dorothy hooking up with Hawk a couple of times. That was it. I still did not understand what was so special about Jase that made Dorothy endure waiting for him for years to leave his wife. I did not understand why she loved him so much. I did not understand why she thought Hawk was so special when he was blackmailing her. Because I did not understand their twenty year history, I could not relate to these characters at all. In fact, I found them more interesting as secondary characters in the previous books. Time jumps were not effective. This book covered about 14 to 15 years and not in a good way. It starts the day of the shooting incident at the BBQ told from Dorothy's point of view. Then the story jumps 7 years into the future, with Christopher on Christmas and the resulting drama. What happened during those 7 years to Dorothy, Jase and Hawk? The story then covers about 2 months of time with Dorothy, Jase and Hawk and the MC drama, then it jumps 7 years again. There was zero mention of what happened to Dorothy, Jase and Hawk during this time. While the time jumps in "Undeniable" were very effective, they did not work in this book because zero time was spent understanding the connection/love between the characters. The action and hotness factors were missing. In the previous books the 'action' scenes where the Horseman had to get down to some ugly MC business was non-existent in this book. There was some of it in the beginning, but that was it. I wanted to read about the MC getting their hands dirty, getting in the face of their enemy. The bedroom action was bland, very bland. There were very few intimate scenes with Dorothy/Hawk/Jase. There were two short flashback scenes, but not enough to carry an entire book. Based on the content and ultimate direction of this book, I question if it was really necessary. Perhaps this could have been a novella, but not a main story. Now a book about Cox and Kami...there you go!

Another angst filled entry in this excellent series, but .....

Synopsis The fourth book in the Undeniable series focuses on the saga of Jase, Hawk and Dorothy. This isn’t a standalone book, so I really can’t give their history without spoiling what happens in earlier books. Suffice it to say, all have made mistakes and it’s a gigantic fakakta biker soap opera all by itself. The Good and the Not So Good I abhor cheating and it usually turns me right off a story. There are select instances where I can still enjoy it - if the cheating serves to bring the H/h together (I cannot stand when the hero cheats on the heroine) AND if they suffer painful consequences for that cheating. This is definitely the case here. Jase, Hawk and Dorothy have to own up to their actions that have lead to much wasted time. Much like in real life, there’s regret and recriminations, and they are no quick fixes. It gives a depth to this series that I really enjoy. This series tends to have one couple coming together at the center of it all, but really it’s an ongoing soap and there are threads of storylines from previous books that continue from book to book. I enjoy that type of storytelling and Ms. Sheehan’s work has been phenomenal in this series. It started as a car wreck I couldn’t look away from, and now as the characters have grown and matured (or in many cases imploded through their own mistakes), I’ve grown to care about alot of them and want to see what’s next in their angst-filled lives. The only real issue I have with this book is that the love triangle at the heart of it has already played out in previous books as a secondary storyline. There’s a feeling of conclusion rather than discovery, and that just made me feel like not really exploring anything new, just tying up their tale, so that we can move onto the next chapter, which is the next generation of bikers and their old ladies. I enjoyed it but I don’t know if Jase/Hawk and Dorothy’s conclusion couldn’t have played out just as well as part of another book, rather than as the star attraction. If you haven’t read any of the previous books, you couldn’t jump in on this one and really make sense of it all. If you want a clean end to a book, that’s not the case here - the cliffhanger (which doesn’t affect the ultimate HEA here) is a doozy and really intrigues me - trying to figure out how Ms. Sheehan’s going to make THAT love story work is crazy. The Bottom Line This is still an excellent MC series that I’d recommend if you’re into angsty, raw storytelling, just don’t jump in on this book, start at the beginning with Undeniable.

UnBelievably Good!

I have been a HUGE fan of the Undeniable series from the first moment I met Deuce West and his dysfunctional, motorcycle riding, tattooed, foul mouthed, smoking, drinking, horn dog of an MC club. He "reeled me in" and the rest was history. EVERY single book in this series has been a 5+ star read and UnBeloved was no exception. 4 hours, 3 pages of highlights, many Cox and Kami pee my pants, snort inducing, laugh out loud moments, and countless tears later I was done. Emotionally exhausted and in awe of the amazing Madeline Sheehan! HOW does she do it? The emotion this woman manages to reach in and pull out of me is astounding. She is an incredibly talented author and has a permanent position at the top of my list of favorites. UnBeloved is the much anticipated story of Dorothy, Jase and Hawk. This may be the love triangle of all love triangles. A little back story for those who have been living in Siberia and haven't had the pleasure of meeting these characters... Dorothy was married but left her husband for Jase. Jase was married but wouldn't leave his wife for Dorothy. Dorothy finds solace in a secret affair with Hawk which produces a love child. Jase's wife loses it and shoots pregnant Dorothy in the head. She goes to prison. Dorothy loses her memory and wants nothing to do with either man. Both men only want to be with Dorothy...see what a hot mess this is? I have been #TeamHawk from the get go and I only fell deeper in love with him after reading this book. However, not only did I fall in love with him, I fell in love with Dorothy. I love that she finally found her voice and her strength. I love her ability to love with her whole heart and her love for her children and the men in her life. Nothing has been easy for this poor woman...NOTHING...but I was hopeful she would finally get her happily ever after. No one is more deserving. I don't do spoilers so I won't give anything away, but I will tell you this is probably my favorite book yet. Oh and I love that Madeline pulled out some old school WP and I love the new WP...DP and NO, it isn't what you are thinking so get your mind out of the gutter ;) I can't recommend this book or this series enough. So...clear your schedule, get a glass (maybe a bottle) of wine, one click and sit back and enjoy this wild ride! Babe.Yeah. "But there was only one who could steal your soul, that untouchable, unreachable place inside you that existed only in your mind, that warmed and cooled, fluttered and shook without rhyme or reason, and make it theirs forever. Someone who could take your breath away with just one look, who makes all those past secret smiles and glances from afar pale in comparison to the way he looks at you."

5 LOVED stars!!!

***5 LOVED Stars *** "This isn't just my story, the story of a broken woman who lost her way. It's also the story of my children, the men I loved, and the friends who were more family to me than my own." I have to start this review by saying I did not begin reading this book and have *instant-love* with it. I found it slow in parts and it seemed to drag for me. The "long suffering" theme quickly got old. BUT, it did pick up. Once interactions between characters started, and the characters themselves got off their a$$e$ and started participating in their own lives, I couldn't flip through the pages of my iPad quickly enough! "I had no aspirations, no big dreams. There was nothing I was working toward, no great goals or accomplishments. Instead of college, I dreamed of marriage; instead of a career; I yearned for children." Dorothy had been in love with the idea of love for as long as she could remember. She thought that happiness could only be found within the arms of a man. So, what happens when the only thing you've ever wanted, dreamed of, yearned for, doesn't happen? When you've been giving your love away freely hoping to get it back in return? Your life becomes without purpose. A tragedy occurs that forces Dorothy to examine that which is in front of her and take control of her life. "When I grew weaker, his strong arms held me up. When my hands hesitated, his were sure and steady, and when I fell apart, he put me back together." I was Team Hawk since I first read about him ... I love a good brooding male character. He was also sensitive and caring, it was a great dichotomy. I wanted to read more of him, but what we did get, I LOVED. I wanted his HEA whether it be with Dorothy or in some other way, I didn't care. "I've waited a long-ass time for this, for you, so havin' to wait a little longer ain't gonna kill me." "I'll wait forever." "I'll wait for f*#king ever," I came into this book HATING Jase! I did not like him, did not want to like him, did not care if he had his HEA and holy crap, I love and feel sorry for him. He was so vulnerable. I just wanted to jump into the book, give him a hug, pat him on the back, kiss him on the head, all while telling him everything was going to be okay. "The road to redemption might be damn hard, but in the end if you reached the end-his father was right. It was worth it." This book had me an emotional mess. I bawled like a baby! Serious tears. DANG! All I can say again, is Madeline Sheehan can write!!!

5 I Can't Believe Sheehan Pulled This Off Stars

I've got a confession. Up until the minute I found out Unbeloved had released early, I wasn't sure how excited I was about it. Of course once I found out it was released, I couldn't one click it fast enough. I was torn about my feelings about Dorothy. Cheating is somewhat of a trigger for me. Obviously not enough of one to keep me away from this series, but enough of one that I'm just now softening towards Deuce after his escapades. Dorothy was a tough one for me. She had an affair with a married man for years. Generally this means she should lose her sisterhood card but she also paid a high price for it. I should have known not to worry because Madeline Sheehan once again pulls it off. This wasn't a book about sweeping it all under the rug and making Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk so interesting, hot, and lovable that we forgive them despite their actions. This was a book about facing up to the consequences to actions that some would feel are unforgivable. It was an extremely emotional and gut wrenching read as we got into the minds of three people who had a hard time looking in the mirror and facing up to what they had done. There were times I got teary eyed, and I even became an all out sobby mess at one point. I am still glad my husband was asleep when that happened since I am not known as a crier and he would have freaked. Unbeloved was not the usual gritty, balls to the walls MC read that we usually get from Sheehan. Although there was definitely "Club Business" going on, it took a back seat to the emotional journey of Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk. There was sex but not the amount we usually get from an Undeniable book. I didn't really miss it though We did get a glimpse into our favorite couples. Tegan and Chase are still going at it, Kami is still as annoying as ever, and Cox still needs a filter. It wasn't all horrid emotional crap either, I had several laugh out loud moments, and a few groaning "I can't believe he just said that" moments. A few minor issues - I wanted more Hawk and Dorothy time. I felt cheated almost. I also wonder if I'm the only one that thinks it's crazy that Dorothy named her son Christopher after someone named Chrissy shot her when she was pregnant with him? Next up is Preacher's and ZZ's books. Once again, I see no redemption for ZZ, especially after that cliffhangerish epilogue. I imagine even though I don't like him, I will be one-clicking it the second that book comes out and I will love it.

5 Stars from Sammy's Book Obsession!

I chose to purchase and read this book because the Undeniable Series and the author is my all-time favorite! I have a huge book hangover right now! I think I'm actually mourning the end of the latest book in the series. Hoping and praying that author, Madeline Sheehan, puts me out of my misery and releases the next book sooner rather than later. I absolutely LOVE this series above all others, but I hate the wait between books with a fiery passion. Unbeloved, book #4 in Madeline Sheehan's Undeniable series, was every bit worth the excruciatingly painful wait between the release of book #3, Unattainable, and it's release. Even without the incredible story of Hawk/Jase/Dorothy, just MORE DEUCE was fan-fuckin'-tastic in and of itself! Yes, people we do indeed get more Deuce in this one and holy hell, I'm still in love with my favorite biker! Madeline Sheehan can write, for sure, but that is seriously under exaggerating her talent. She worms these characters into our very soles and makes us live her stories as though it's not merely a fictional world. Fictional or not, this is the place my dreams are made of ever since first picking up my favorite book EVER, Undeniable! This author takes your heart, makes it bleed, love, soar, wrench, shatter, squeeze, and reconstruct all with one book. Then she torments us as we wait so very impatiently for the next one in the series, and then starts the process all over again! I have no actual complaints about this book whatsoever, unless not wanting it to end can be construed as a complaint. I was extremely disappointed to come to the end. Not at all, in any way, because of the the story itself, but entirely just because my experience with this awesome continuation of the Undeniable series was over. The writing is in infallible and so real. The feel of this MC/Biker book is gritty, raw, real, and wonderful. The Hell’s Horsemen Motorcycle Club is without a doubt, the most realistic feeling MC of all the Biker books I've read. I have read a ridiculous amount of Biker/MC books, too, and this series is the single one that I compare each and every single one to. If you see my "read" and "Bikers" shelves, you will realize that that's really saying something! Can't wait for the rest to come out! I surely will be re-reading this series while waiting for more to come!

"We're all a little broken,".....but Madeline Sheehan can still deliver an awesome Undeniable book!

Another great book in the Undeniable series! Jase, Hawk, and Dorothy's story is finally told and it comes with some drama and perhaps things we didn't expect. The whole story takes place 7 years after Dorothy's near fatal shooting at the MCs picnic. Now, since we've had all these different stories with different couples in this series, it can be either be a bad thing or a good thing that all these stories are taking place over many many years. They are not all told within a year's span. So, that makes it easier to believe this particular love triangle which hasn't been that for over 7 years. BUT I have to admit, I kind of was curious about those 7 lost years (although we did get a little bit of it with Tegen and Cage's story, but not firsthand). Not too big of a deal though. Plus, the addition of having Jase, Hawk, and Dorothy's POV with everything, it all kind of made sense. This story wasn't as brutal nor ugly as the previous stories, but Dorothy was more a more quiet and subdued character than her counterparts. This was a little upsetting for me, because I love the nasty, dirty life of this particular MC, flaws and all. I almost felt like we were missing something. Even Deuce wasn't himself. But again, he is much older in this book and it all makes sense with what has transpired. Just a bit disappointing to me. BUT, I also like the quiet character that was flawed in her own right, but also held a lot of them together without them really even knowing it (ahem, Dorothy). "Today, I wouldn't spend another minute hating myself for the sins of my past, but instead would draw strength from them." So, this story was more about finding home in the least likely of places. Finding one's past and forgiveness. Sticking by the ones you love through ANYTHING. All of those things were hard and came with a lot of harsh consequences, but Miss Sheehan handled it with more subdued flaws that in the previous Undeniable books which seemed to be more action packed and heavy on dirty lovin, trash talkin bikers that were FULL of flaws and sin. It is more of a quiet story than our other dirty biker stories we have grown to love, but it is one that is coming full circle and seeing how this MC has "grown up" and evolved. Family. I still loved the book and still gave me the feels, just in a different way than the previous stories. "After all, what kind of life was a life without someone to enjoy it with, someone to grow old with, without someone to love."

True Love, Redemption , Forgiveness and the love of a family

Read Unbeloved last night and I'm still an emotional wreck. There are few authors that can drag me so deep into a story and the characters. This book seemed to be written straight from the author's heart. The prologue, alone, made me really feel it. The book was definitely a 5 star read for me because of the tears and the good feelings it generated. So many mistakes and bad decisions, but redemption for those who deserved it. How can a book that has a HEA still leave me feeling sad for the bad choices people made? I am both excited and dreading the next release for this series. Only two more books and the series will end. I love the way the series covers decades from the young to the old. This is truly an epic series to me. Reading a book like this one (for me) makes it really hard to move on to another story because I know there are few that meet these standards. I have to admit that this author has not written a book yet that I did not thoroughly enjoy. Undeniable was the first biker/MC romance for me and resulted in a true addiction to the genre. For the serious series followers, we all know the background about Dorothy/Jase/Hawk. We knew that all three of them were guilty of the sin of cheating, but what a screwed up mess. If you have no tolerance under any circumstances for cheating, you shouldn’t read this book and if you read the other books in the series then you already know the background. If you believe human frailty exists then you can understand the faults of all three, especially Dorothy and Jase. Do you have to condone it? No. This story was all about bad choices, redemption and forgiveness by the ones who love you. It’s about heartbreak and human insecurities that make people make bad choices. Jase was a self-centered man-ho, but in the end he pays for it in the most painful way. The author brought home how decisions we make in our younger years come back to bite us when we are older. Jase reminds me of some guys I know who partied hard and lived for themselves thinking they would never grow old and when it did happen, they had a hard time figuring out what to do. Like I said, I felt sad that so much time was wasted for the major characters. So this one, for me, was not a happy dance with sunshine and roses at the end, but one of gladness that everyone seemed to be headed in the right direction. There are flashbacks to previous books that clarify the Dorothy/Jase/Hawk relationship but they were not overwhelming. In fact, they gave more clarity to the story line.

I knew the right guy was going to win at the end.

The story was beautifully twisted. This was no conventional love story and there was so much heartache and I mean real heartache. The one you want to rip your heart out to stop suffering. These people suffered for years, decades. I just can't believe how they went through it all. I am a sucker for HEA's and I was pretty content with this one. Although I sensed the other guys ending was very abrupt, I'm glad it worked out for Dorothy to end up with who she had to be. Madeline showed us one side of Dorothy like for 3 books before this one and I had a different image of her, not physically but emotionally about the character etc. I saw her as weak and she was none of that I can assure you. That woman has the biggest pants, I've ever read recently.. I understand you have a life and also a family that needs to be taken care of but do you know what I hate about your books? I hate that I always have to wait for the next installment. It always feels like years, no months. This endless waiting makes my heart ache. I never learn my lesson! Instead of waiting for the whole series to get finished, everytime one of your books gets published my hand is already hot and ready to press the one-click button on Amazon even though I know I'll end up wanting more. Yes, your books are that awesome. I finished Unbeloved last night and that was some ending. Throughout the book I laughed, cried, laughed again, cried again, got the heebie-jeebies *sigh*. I cannot wait to read about Preacher but most of all I cannot wait to read about ZZ and... Hell I can't believe that is going to happen! No, I am wishing that what I think is going to happen, happens. Your books are awfulbeautifuldreadfulstunning and most of all shocking as hell. I have felt agitated reading other books but yours, I have never felt more uncomfortable reading a book since Deuce's and Eva's story and the the rest of the series just keep escalating in uncomfortableness, swearness (if those can be catalogued as words). It was a kind of addicting uncomfortable emotion that glued me to your books and didn't allow me to put them down. Everyone if fu$"$%&d up in that series LOL and I love them all. The more fu$"$%&d up they are the more I like them. Is that normal? Anyway, I never learn... Now I'm going to suffer waiting for Undeserving and Undying. I'm addicted to UnD. Now I'll have to watch more Sons of Anarchy to alleviate my pain. :P I love you!!!! Please keep writing! Please make an early release for both of them! Take care.

I want more!

Madeline Sheehan's Undeniable series would have to be the best biker series around. We love every moment of these raw, intense, gritty beautiful books. Her writing is like no other, the way she makes you fall in love with men you wouldn't normally think twice about, you either love these characters or you don't. After finishing each book we are left in a funk and dying for the next. Unbeloved is the fourth book in this amazing series. For those who don't like love triangles you can rest assure this isn't your typical love story. It's a story of a woman who loved a man for so much of her life discovering who she really is and what she finally wants in life. A man who had made what feels like a life time of mistakes learns how to heal and try and right his wrongs and another man fighting for his family and his life... We love the way this story has been written, it wasn't just Dorothy's story we also got to see things from Jase and Hawk's perspective. It's a story of loss, love, betrayal, healing and choices. The choices we make in life, how they affect the present, future, ourselves and those around us. While this story is different to the others it did not disappoint. "There's no such thing as a mistake Dorothy. There's only shit that happens and shit that don't." Dorothy has made bad choices and a lot of mistakes in life, these actions have not just affected her but her family and children as well. Her life didn't turn out the way she imagined it would but it's her life and she is living it... Never did she think she would fall in love with a married man, or expect to fall in love with his 'Brother'. It took her almost dying to realise things needed to change, moving and starting off fresh with her son is her second chance to make life right. Life is never easy and there are always twists and turns. One thing Dorothy has learnt in life is she is strong and a survivor. Back in the place she once called home, in the world she left behind. She is back to get answers and to fight to keep her family together. We cannot speak highly enough of this series. Like the previous 3 books we loved how we were kept up to date with all our favourite characters. There is a lightness in this book, a softer side to Madeline’s writing. We can’t wait to step back in time with book 5 and see where Preacher’s story takes us.

Well Worth the Wait

In the continuing saga of the MC Hell's Horsemen, the wonderful Undeniable series focuses on the love triangle between Jase, Dorothy and Hawk. When we last saw them, Jase's wife Chrissy was in jail for shooting Dorothy, Jase's mistress, who was pregnant with Hawk's baby, the man she "cheated" on Jase with (if it can be said that a mistress cheats when the man who is her lover is cheating on his wife!) Hawk is a nomad now, and while on a hit for HH, he runs into plenty of trouble. The HH bring Hawk back home, where Dorothy returns to nurse him back to health; she's been living in San Francisco with the child she had with Hawk. We learn that Hawk isn't really who they think he is and we watch Jase, Hawk and Dorothy sort out their relationships. We get brief glimpses of Deuce, the club prez and his wife Eva and how the people who were kids in the first book are now all grown up with kids of their own. We also watch Hawk decide to make a tremendous sacrifice for the sake of the MC and we watch Jase try to pull himself out of the drunken stupor he's been in for the last 8 years since Dorothy was shot and Chrissy's been in jail. I really like how Madeline Sheehan deals with what happens to the various couples and to the MC leadership as folks start to age. I don't want to give anything away but there are some farewells in the book that were just heart wrenching! I rarely cry when I read books but this one had me using up several tissues! I think what I love about this series is that it depicts MC life very realistically, things are not sugar coated in the book. The characters are also always so well developed. I even liked the fact that there's less sex in the book because when you're mending from gun shot wounds and as you get older, guess what, there's going to be less sex! The people in HH struggle with the same stuff all of us do: feel less attractive as you get older, you wonder if your lover still finds you sexy and beautiful, you reassess your life and wonder if you made the right decisions re your partner and raising your kids, you sometimes make tremendous sacrifices for people you love. I was waiting with tip toe anticipation for this book to arrive and it did not disappoint, CANT WAIT TO READ THE NEXT ONE!

Simply beautiful!!

4.5 stars!!! This is one of those books that I'm so torn about it. There are so many things I loved about it but yet I felt like I had an unanswered question. With that being said, I really did enjoy it because it was so different from the first three. In the end, I don't know if this was one of my favorites in the series or the least one. We met Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk in the previous books and I'm so glad to get their story. I had always loved Jase but yet hated him for the way he treated Dorothy. You could tell he loved her but didn't want to leave his family for her so to me I loved him but hated him at the same time. Hawk had been there for her, helped her with her feelings for Jase, and showed her how much he loved her and wanted her. As Dorothy moved away and Hawk stayed on the move, his love never died for her and only became stronger. When danger threatens the club and Dorothy comes back to the MC, she knows what she must do. I found myself in tears at what she decided but yet I knew it was the best for her, Jase, and Hawk. The emotions in this book brought me to tears several times as some people had to say goodbye while others found love. This book is so different from Madeline's other books and if you expect hard and gritty, you won't get it in this book. You have a true roller coaster of a ride of so many different emotions. At times, I felt like I was right there with them and living their hurt. The feelings that were brought out in this one were beautiful and while I expected a good 'dirty' book, I think that is what makes this so unique. I think if it would have been tough and gritty, you wouldn't have been able to see this book for what it truly was: the end of one love and the beginning of another. Madeline's writing is so different from other authors who write MC books and I think no matter what she wrote I would love it. This one really pulled at my heart and showed me that she can not only write the good and hard stuff, but also have such tender characters with such a touching story. My only complaint is that I have to wait for more in the series and I need more NOW!!

Not gonna lie, wasn't my favorite... (some spoilers)

So like everyone, I've been waiting anxiously for the next book in the Undeniable saga. These books have taken on a life of their own and that's a great thing. As always M. Sheehan's writing is on point and she keeps the plot moving. I think my main problem with this book is that I just wasn't that interested in Dorothy's story. Now, ZZ's story I've been chomping at the bit to read ever since he shot Cage, and the little snippet at the end only has me more interested! Anyway, I think where Sheehan is taking the characters and this saga is really smart. She's making it a sweeping story that spans decades and I LOVE that. I love that the 2nd generation of kids are coming up and becoming part of the club. This makes me hope that the series will go on forever, because I really am invested in all of these characters. :) But, much like Ellie and Dirty's story, I just wasn't interested much in Dorothy. She's the kind of soft-spoken, insecure, meek heroine that I really dislike. Although she rallied toward the end, I still wasn't feeling her. I didn't really feel that connected to Hawk either, for whatever reason, although he was always the one I was rooting for Dorothy to end up with. I don't know... I just wanted to like them more than I did. AND we never got the full story of their first hook-up! It was hinted at and kind of mentioned, but the full story was never told. So that was slightly annoying, because I was waiting the whole time! I can't give an Undeniable book less than 4 stars, hence my rating, although I did feel rather lukewarm about the main romance throughout. Pros: Heartwarming story, overall ZZ is a crazy cage fighter! Russian mafia Saga spans years Cons Dorothy is kind of boring Hawk feels like he could have been fleshed out more. The fact that he was Russian and went to fancy private schools as a child was mentioned, but his dialogue sounds the same as all the other brothers. Might have been nice to see a little bit of his upbringing in the way he interacts with the world. No one can completely divorce themselves from the way they were brought up, no matter how much they try to... Not enough saucy Tegan Kami and Cox not having sex? Bummer! Story didn't have as much action as past books. I would've preferred a bang bang ending... but I guess they are all getting older and gang warfare probably doesn't have the same appeal :) We have to wait another year or so for ZZ's book!

Easily, my FAVORITE of the series!

This truly is an epic, unforgettable and unconventional story! Definitely my favorite of the series!! The things the three main characters went through... the heartbreak, the broken promises, the come to Jesus revelations (see Dorothy talk with a club wh*re), the secrets revealed, the confrontations, the mending of hearts and new relationships... GAH! This sh** was POWERFUL!! Jase- I have to say I was satisfied with where things ended up for him. He definitely had a lot to make up for but he seemed determined to build a relationship with his daughters. His road to healing, sobering up, making a new life for himself (a better him) won't be easy but I can't picture it happening any other way. The Deuce chat and what resulted after it made me a happy camper too. Hawk- I didn't feel deceived by his secret past at all. I hold nothing against him for that because he was only protecting his family. I have been Team Hawk from the start. He is such a strong man. He never stopped loving Dorothy throughout the years, admitted to the both of them making mistakes and was willing to be responsible for them now. Hawk taking responsibility for Christopher and loving him so much... His willingness to exchange his freedom for the club... Oh, Hawk. You're in a class of your own. Dorothy- She was made weak by Jase. Believing his promises to leave his wife for her- FOR YEARS... Dorothy, wish you could've seen the truth of that sooner. It's weird because if you describe her, you want to say club whore but it's kinda hard to think of Dorothy as that. She was so much more to so many people. Little D- Sweet, caring, always cooking and cleaning, always full of smiles... and then sleeping with a married man. Fortunately for her, (even though it wasn't soon enough) she was made stronger by Hawk. He loved her unconditionally and showed her too. They were beautiful together. The goodbye scene with Dorothy and Hawk... DAMN. I cried the biggest, ugliest, fattest tears while reading that one. After such a short time together and then being ripped apart again?! So. Not. Fair. Seriously, all I can think of is W.O.W. when I think of UnBeloved. As for what's coming next (that is until I just learned of Preacher's story) with ZZ's story, someone has got to take care of that. Now. What an ending! I am officially mentally and emotionally exhausted. Amazing read.

Another Incredible Addition

Unbeloved is Dorothy's story. One heckuva of a story at that. There are so many surprises, twists and turns, it had my head spinning. This Hawk, Dorothy and Jase triangle has been going on quite a while and there's been so much heartache and tragedy along the way. Drama is a given, but it is with all of these characters. This story made me sad. I believe all of these chaotic couples were looking for love, even if they've taken the long way or the wrong way to go about finding it. But, this story was a bit different. It's emotional but in a different way than the other books. These characters seem to have "grown up" I guess. Unbeloved is another fantastic read. Now to wrap it up in book 5.

Best of Series...Emotionally Charged

Redemption...A Second Chance...Finally Finding Your Way... Dorothy Kelly grew up fast with a kid at 15, married and left to fend for herself. She existed, never really lived. Her chance meeting with Jason "Jase" Brady would forever change her and put her on a rough road of ups and downs. Living the MC life as his loving "mistress" isn't what she had planned for her life, but with the constant promise of more from Jase, she stayed in her role as her hopes and dreams fell with each passing tear and month. Quietly "Hawk" Young comes out of the shadows and uses her pain to get close to the one thing he wants. Why settle for the unattainable when there someone ready and willing to dry those tears? Their passion was forbidden, but so right....HAWK IF you have followed the series they you know this triangle does not start well and when the tension and pressure of infidelity reaches its peek three lives are left damaged...possibly broken forever. I was completely prepared for a rough read with an emotional triangle. I was blown away by what Madeline Sheehan gave me. For Dorothy there really was no choice to be made...Dorothy Kelly is strong ass woman whose mistakes from her past defined her. She had a second lease on life and she vowed to do it right...her only downfall was not grasping onto the one man in her heart sooner. Unlike previous books, this is a tale about forgiveness. This is story about making tough choices and being strong enough to deal with the consequences. This is beautiful love story set in the harsh reality of crime that takes years in the making. It is about finding true happiness and holding onto it even when it is out of your grasp. For Dorothy, she has finally tasted the sweet after 8 years of nothing...no amount of time or space would stop her from having it again. No one does an MC book like Madeline Sheehan. The Hell's Horsemen are every bit of danger. They live life according their own rules...they live and love big and they taking what the want with authority. Kudos for bringing the club full circle...for embracing the true meaning of family, brotherhood, and loyalty. This book may have been a departure from the first three books, but it was no less fabulous. For me, it was my favorite!~

Keeps getting better and better!!!

Where do I even start with this review? After waiting FOREVER (Okay, maybe not forever but it felt that way because I love this series) for UnBeloved to come out I devoured it in one sitting and was left starving for more. I LOVED this book and I was left with so many conflicting feelings when it was over. If you haven't had a chance to read this series yet then you should start. The Love Triangle: Hmmm... I came into this book on a team. Wanting my badass biker to beat out the other badass biker. But what makes this book stand-out, actually what makes Madeline Sheehan's writing stand-out, is that it's wasn't really about the love triangle at all. It was about watching these characters grow and change and learn from the mistakes of their pasts. In the end, Dorothy didn't pick the badass biker I had wanted her to pick before I started the book, and that's okay. Watching these three grow and learn from their mistakes is what brought them each to where they were meant to be. I loved being inside their heads and seeing that no matter how old you are there is always time to fix things. There is always time for redemption. Dorothy ended up with the right badass biker in the end and the other badass biker found his place in life too. The Hell's Horsemen: All our faves were back including a flashback cameo from Blue <3 Deuce's love for his family continues to melt my heart. Preacher... although he's not a Hell's Horseman but Prez of the Silver Demons, I still link him as part of the club. I shed a tear at where his story went. Cox and Kami: WTF? They were crazier than ever and took their dysfunctional relationship to an entire new level of weird. That Epilogue: There really are no words. I'm always waiting anxiously for the next book in this series, but I don't know how I am suppose to wait for ZZ's story after that epilogue!!! Holy s***!!! ZZ's book is going to be AMAZING. If you love this series so far then UnBeloved will not disappoint. Somehow Madeline Sheehan pulled off the almost impossible task of making each book better. If you haven't read this series then you need to go buy Undeniable, which is the first book in the series. Nothing's better in the book world right now than the Hell's Horsemen.

Outstanding Series

Not a stand alone book. You need to read the series from the start. I really wasn't sure what to expect from Unbeloved. In my mind there was no way this trio of Hawke, Dorothy and Jase would not be a triade love affair. The author never leaned toward that sort of arrangement so I pretty much figured someone would come out the loser here. I did not read other reviews because lets face it, if you have started this Undeniable series, you're sticking with it. You don't really care what others are going to say about it because you are dedicated. Having said that, I won't waste much of your time with a long, drawn-out review. Unbeloved takes you a journey. You experience their pains. You get frustrated with their biker brotherhood "system" and you get mad at circumstances that are beyond anyone's control. Some stuff in life is not fair and there is a lot of that in Unbeloved. I was so spitting mad at times. Not mad like I was planning on stopping the novel. NO! Mad at the circumstances that were to come to be. Life is too short. I aged right alongside the Horsemen and their families. My heart broke for Dorothy for all the wrongs she has had to bear and continued to bear. As for the heat level, Unbeloved was quite a bit more mellow compared to the previous books but probably considered very steamy in comparisons to the genre at whole. The sex in Unbeloved was relevant to the situation in every spot. Not just thrown in for shock or the erotic factor. All in all, the story was beautifully told by the amazing writing of Madeline Sheehan. That author can write!!! Now about the ending and the book that will come to be regarding ZZ's story; I haven't a clue what Madeline Sheehan is going to do there. As it stands now, there is very little that could redeem ZZ to me. There is a line where I think a character crosses before I can forgive and that line has been crossed ZZ. I don't can if he had the worst bringing up ever, the dude is lost to me and way past redemption. I hope he gets his due. As Deuce would say, "ZZ has to go to ground."

Madeline has done it again!

Yeah, this book (and series for that matter) isn't for everyone. But for me? This s*** rocks my world...every single time. Readers are warned from the beginning this isn't a conventional love story. You aren't going to have a bodice ripping "prince" from a cheesy ass romance novel in the Undeniable series. It isn't sweet. It isn't cuddly. It isn't warm or fuzzy. But what it IS, oh my gosh, what it is ... is a raw, gritty, gory, rough, gut wrenching, heart aching roller coaster of a damn ride. There is laughter, crying, angry outbursts where you could strangle someone (namely Madeline), absolute offense to some of the crap these men talk, and a whole slew of other reactions to the stories. So be ready...reading these stories isn't for the faint of heart. You have to go into each one knowing that ordinary, stereotypical romance isn't on the agenda. There's love...but it's not in a way you're accustomed to. And damn if it isn't an incredible and awesome thing! To Madeline Sheehan...thank you. Seriously. THANK YOU. Just when I think you can't rip me open more than you already have, you do it again...only harder. You are amazing and talented and sometimes such a bitch with the way you absolutely gut me! I have ugly cried, laughed, and snotted my way through another Hells Horseman's story. Hawk, Dorothy and Jase... When I started reading, I wasn't sure how it would all pan out. I tried to stay on my toes but got knocked down a few times. I have to say I enjoyed this ride...just like with every other book in the series. In catching glimpses of Hawk in the other stories, I knew he would be the one I would root for. The more I found out about him, the more I adored him. I am glad he got his story. This love triangle definitely needed telling! UnBeloved makes the reader run a gamut of emotions and you will love every single step. These men (and women) aren't just characters...they pull you in with their domineering and sometimes overwhelming personalities. And with this novel, I really had to reel it in a few times. It was an awesome ride. Now...can't wait for that ZZ...bring it!

sadly short, but insanely good

Unbeloved sets a whole new pace in this series, and offers more insights and growth (in the entire cast of characters) than the past two books have. It ranks as my second favorite book in the series (after Undeniable) for this very reason. The writing is flawless, the story incredible, and it continues to develop as a multigenerational tale. Despite all my love for this book, I am disappointed that Unbeloved is such a short and quick read. Much is glossed over, and it feels if the action missing. The book as a whole lacks that epic read Undeniable offers (the minute details are absent, the angst is minimal, and did I mention the missing action?). Dorothy is dimensionalized in this tale. We get a better understanding of her as a person, and the chain of events that lead her down a certain path. We get a good feel for Hawk and Jace, but much feels edited out. I appreciate the flashbacks are minimal, but the present day moments feel sparse. In the same way the Dirty's story felt too small in the larger part, the path Jace takes in Unbeloved could have been explored even more (it is so interesting from a reader point of view). I also didn't have a total feel on Hawk beyond his secret past, and what a stand up brother he is. All admirable...but as he is a stoic character, I was interested in reading more to better know him. The two highlights of the book for me are the dialogue during a ride Hawk witnesses/faintly hears (to avoid any spoilers I will not elaborate), and his feelings when sitting next to Christopher before a goodbye (when Christopher is emotional and Hawk allows himself to be). These scenes evoked both actual laughter from me, and physical tears...how can a book that does this so flawlessly be less than 5 stars? Despite all my blubbering for a longer book, I am not the author or visionary here and Madeline Sheehan is evolving this story that exceeds any expectation. Just consider me a greedy reader who selfishly would enjoy to dive into more of this tale, and get to reading this book ASAP to draw your own conclusions. It is truly brilliant.

Not your typical love triangle.

I was intrigued with the Jase/Dorothy/Hawk triangle throughout the first three books. Delving into this book, I was mostly curious about Hawk because he's been the really silent, not around a whole lot, unexplored character in this dysfunctional MC family. I am not a fan of love triangles, and I know most readers will disagree with me when I say that I was very happy to see that the majority of the story doesn't revolve around a current day love triangle. A large part of the story flashes back to the past, and how Dorothy ended up being involved with both Jase and Hawk. We also learn a lot about Hawk's past life and how he came to be involved with Deuce and the club. The gang is all here again and we got to see snippets of all of the other characters, where they are in their lives now and the craziness that ensues with most of them. This story spans many years and while I can understand why Madeline progressed the story this way, I felt a little shortchanged on actual storyline. There are two more books coming in this series and I hope in at least one of them, we get to find out what Jase is up to now. Even though he was a primary character in this book, I felt like he just kind of faded away and I would really like to find out how his life turns out. The epilogue takes us a little further into the future, sort of circling us around to the beginning of the book and reminding us that ZZ is still around, but his book isn't even the next book to release so I was a little confused as to why we were left with a cliffhanger ending. Madeline's writing is amazing as usual and I truly enjoyed the story, I just selfishly wanted a little more substance and more content when it came to Jase and where his path lead him.

Amazing, heartbreaking, wonderful story

To me this book is beyond 5 stars! I devoured it, literally devoured it in one sitting. I could not put it down. This is by far my number one MC series. Madeline Sheehan knows how to write about the bikers we have come to know and love and there is no other like her. The emotions I felt while reading this book were raw and heartbreaking. They tore my heart out and then shredded it. I could not even begin to express the feelings I felt while reading this book. I needed to finish it, but never wanted it to end. You know from the blurb, this is book 4 and a lot has happened in the previous books. From those books we think we know Dorothy, Jase and Hawk, but really, we know nothing. Though the book picks up some time after the last book, we are able to see glimpses of how Jase and Dorothy met and how Dorothy came to be in Hawk's bed. Its their story, their heartbreak and ultimately their struggle to find their path in this world, but its also a continuation of the story of all the characters we have grown to love so much. If you have read the previous books, and if you are reading this review, I hope it means you have, you know these are not conventional romance novels. They are full of heartache, heartbreak, tears and at times full of sacrifices that are unthinkable. This book delivers that and so much more. I have to say, the book did not go in the direction I assumed it would, but in the end, it felt right. Madeline Sheehan, you are an amazing writer. If you have not yet read this series, I seriously do not know why not. It is amazing and so worth. Go read it now. Like right now. Happy reading

PERFECTION..Babe...yeah =)

HOLY HELL HORSEMEN! I was waiting on pins and needles for this book and what a freaking ride it was. I can't even begin to express in words how much I adore this series and the characters, each one has a patch on my heart. Every single one of them has a purpose and a special place in this story but my god the writing is brilliant. I read this straight through and only slept 4 hrs but I swear my heart never stopped racing. The build up with all the twists and turns left me breathless as I kept turning pages gasping for more. One you get in the saddle with this book you will ride, sally ride all the way to the motherf***in end ya feel me? Babe..yeah The characters are so well written they breathe life into the pages. I laughed, I cried and went through every damn emotion with these characters as they experienced it. Such an amazing journey to watch Dorothy finally see her self worth and fight for what she wants or better yet who she wants. I knew this book was gonna be amazing I've loved every single one in this series so far but I was grinning like a school girl when I finished this but I NEED more of THIS in my life and cannot wait for the next one. Madeline is a damn genius with her writing talent. The banter is freaking hilarious and I love how we get a piece of all the characters in the books. But Hawk a man with little words but makes damn well sure every word counts. But is that enough? Then there's Jase who she's pined for for years and always left wondering will she ever be good enough and yet they each have a piece of her heart. It's redemption. It's a struggle. A struggle of regrets, fears, choices and mistakes but most of all a struggle to find love, home and family. After all isn't that what life is all about. Take it for a ride and I promise it will be a ride you'll never forget =)

Very Nice Addition to the Undeniable Series!

This is going to be really hard to review without revealing any spoilers. First, I never really had any feeling toward Dorothy in the previous books, not that I didn't like her, but I just waiting on her story to make a judgement. After reading the first page I had compassion for this woman. This is very rare for me, to almost immediately feel something for a heroine right off the bat, especially when I've met them in other books. So kudo's to you Madeline for the stellar opening! Okay, so here goes, I wouldn't really classify this as a love triangle and I kinda wanted her to end up with the one she didn't end up with. I know, I know, I'm not the majority vote, but I was still holding out hope. However, I will say with the way she wrote the story I absolutely ended up falling in love with the couple and I believe she did justice in telling their story. My only gripe would be is that I didn't feel like I had the closure I should of with the other person. Unbeloved, I would say is the tamest of the four books in this series, but even so it packs a punch and leaves you wanting more. Without a doubt Ms. Sheehan is one of the best of the MC genre and knows how to formulate a story that will leave you captivated. Next, we get Preacher's story, it's a back in time story and I can't wait for it. However, I will need some booze and meds to get through it cause it's for sure gonna be a tear-jerker! After Preachers book we will finally get to see ZZ's story, and well I have mixed emotions about this because in Madeline's books we can expect the timeline to be drawn out over a few decades and well I'm wondering what will happen to all of our old timers. I'm not sure I can fathom reading something like that, but I'm sure the queen B can pull it off! 4.5 stars!!

Solid 2.25 Stars

*Mild Spoilers* Even though I knew going into this one that I wasn't going to be gaga over these 3 and their situation, I did expect the "Love Triangle" to be a little more intense & developed, considering all the events that happened in previous books concerning Hawk, Dorothy, & Jase that led us to their book. I appreciated the little snippets of how things got rolling in the first place concerning their past, but it still just lacked something. It wasn't raw or really all that deep or emotional for majority of the book. Even the flashbacks lacked depth. They didn't tell/show me WHY Dorothy remained with Jase in spite of everything, all those years. They didn't show me why she ultimately turned to Hawk all those years ago & couldn't just walk away from him either. Why she felt torn between these 2 men in the first place and why she ultimately couldn't choose between them. NONE of this was given within their story. And I still for the life of me can't understand why these two men were so crazy in love & sprung on a woman like Dorothy to begin with. The woman had no education at all. She didn't even have a GED. No ambition or drive for life outside of wanting someone to love her in all her "bland personality glory". She had no back bone to speak of. No fire within her or pride for herself. So.... I just don't get this all consuming love & lust Jase & Hawk had for her, then or now. The story, all of it, just read as very impersonal and boring to me. Like we only received the headlines & not the true meat of the story. It just wasn't all that interesting for me. I felt that the book had good pacing & other things going on early on, mainly concerning just Hawk and his past. These things were a bit intriguing to me. But once I hit the 48% mark of this book, the story, pacing, everything began to drag and become quite lackluster. Honestly, this one didn't really start to become somewhat interesting or touching, til about the last 15% of the novel. Almost like Ms. Sheehan finally got her groove with the story & characters. But by then it was way too late. And the strength we are "Told" Dorothy finally embraces just was not convincing. At. All. But like I said before, I really expected this type of journey/outcome with these characters anyway. So I'm not really all that disappointed cos I was right, just wish there was something else to kind of grab onto or truly appreciate about the novel. Well, I can count on 3 fingers, instances that were truly funny to me. So I guess that's something. Jase- is a freakin cry baby. I didn't really care for his redemption/sobriety plot, until the tail end of the book. But I also never cared for Jase anyway. I did like Hawk, and honestly he's the reason why I read the book. But I have to be honest here, this was the most tame & unsexy novel in this series. WHERE WAS THE HOTNESS?! There was none. And I am NOT exaggerating here. Considering the standard already placed here for this series, this book most certainly missed the mark. It didn't even get close to the mark. If you weren't getting a fade to black scene, you got a HIGHLY glossed over one. So not only was there not a real story here, there wasn't anything to somewhat appease me for so many things that this one was lacking. *shrugs* So I understand why many readers were not happy with this book. It really should have been released as a Novella or better yet, as Ms Carrie pointed out, just a side story in Dirty & Ellie's book. (Which we are never getting) or you know what? This story shouldn't have been released at all, IMO. The Epilogue I don't get the "ick factor" or uncertainty that many claim they feel concerning this. Maybe cos it didn't bother me in book 1 either. But I gotta say ZZ definitely has me curious to find out. Honestly, I was hoping for his book in place of this one. I've wanted ZZ's story for awhile now. So.. No. I wouldn't recommend this read. If you want to know what the end result is leading into the next book? Borrow it and only read the last 20% and you will be good. Trust me, anything before that 20%, you're not missing out on much.

Best Biker Series Out

This series will leave you with a book hangover! Fair Warning! The Undeniable series is one of a kind. There are numerous reasons why. Number 1: No one else but Madeline Sheehan could take such messed up people and make their love stories so brilliant. They are so full of pain and drama that when they finally get their HEA they deserve. Number 2: You can feel the author’s heart and soul in every book. You know that when you crying, chances are she cried while writing it. I will be honest and say I was a little sad at first that Hawk got Dorothy and Jase was alone. I didn’t want to give up on the series since it was so good, so I read on. I’m so glad I did because I eventually loved Hawk and Dorothy together. They had their ups and downs but I think he deserved her more than Jase. Jase kinda got his HEA. He got a second chance with his girls. He lied to Dorothy for years and I don’t think he could have made up for that. It would have always been there, hanging on in the shadows. Every fight or late night Dorothy would have wondered if he was lying. If you like books that get you emotionally involved then this is the series for you. I cried… like ugly sobbing tears… more than once. I laughed, and even got pissed at characters. I really wanted to strangle Kami and Cox, but I think that is part of their charm. HOLY CRAP!!! What a roller coaster of emotions!! There are lots of MC series out there but if you only can choose one then choose this series. It is raw, dark, sexy and so messed up that is right. Once you finish this book all that will come to mind will be this : When does the next book come out because I want, no I NEED, Preacher’s story!

If you’ve enjoyed the other books in this series

If you’ve enjoyed the other books in this series, you won’t be disappointed. If you haven’t read this series yet, you should. Unb-d tells the story of Dorothy, Jase and Hawk. I knew going into this that it was going to be emotional…and was it ever! I probably cried more than I didn’t. IDK what the right word is because it’s definitely not disappointment or criticism but I did expect more of a tug of war over Dorothy. Now having said that, I still wouldn’t change one damn thing about this book. Once again Madeline Sheehan takes us on an emotional rollercoaster like only she can. Life isn’t always kind or fair and neither is their story. But in the end, there’s hope for the future. One thing I really enjoy about this series is how time progresses. It makes storylines so much more believable. Still gotta love Eva & Deuce. Cox and Kami provide us with some much needed comic relief (did you really expect anything else?) NOW ZZ…at the end of UnA I wanted more of his story, by the end of Unb-d---yeah, not so much. Regardless of how I feel now I know that MS will find a way to suck me into his story much like she did with Dirty. I am very curious to see what’s in store for everybody in the last two books of the series. I can’t wait to see what secrets are revealed in Preacher’s book AND we get more Crazy Frankie---- HEY don’t judge me, show Crazy Frankie some love ;) - Tegen had been there, fighting my battles, defending my honor. That would end today. Today, I wouldn’t spend another minute hating myself for the sins of my past, but instead would draw strength from them. Today, a lot of things would end.

Good, but could have been better

This was not my favorite in the series, it's actually my least favorite, but it's still great and I will continue reading the series and anything else that Madeline writes. This is set much later than the other books. Everyone is much older now, maybe a little bit more mature, some of them, not of all them. This book was to be about Dorothy/Hawk/Jase triangle, but we quickly learn who won the girl in the end. What we don't get to see is how it all went down. We've seen Dorothy and Jase in the previous books, but we never really got to know about their relationship, the deep down true feelings of all those involved and I don't really feel like I got any of that out of this book either. This basically skips over all that with limited views into the past and focuses on the now. We learn a interesting twist about Hawk that no one saw coming. It wasn't anything that rocked my socks, but it made the story what it is. ZZ - that crazy guy is just that, CRAZY! Can't wait for his book, I hope it'll be everything I'm expecting it to be: CRAZY! Dorothy and Hawk's time together was very limited and it was obvious they love each other, but I just didn't FEEL what I wanted to feel for them. It was great getting glimpses of Eva and Deuce, Kami and Cox cracked me up as always, I love that the kids are all growing up. The epilogue: LOVED IT! Now that's what I'm talking about! Had me sitting on the edge of my seat, biting my nails. Again, I'm really looking forward to ZZ's story.

Unexpectantly I Cried

I am actually shocked by a couple of the recent reviews. I really enjoyed this book. It WAS different from the previous 3, but not in a bad way. We got to see some closures and some new beginnings. I was very surprised when I shed a few tears in this book. I am invested in these characters and I thoroughly enjoyed how they all interact together. I was glad to see the Jase, Hawk, and Dorothy story wrap up. It's not where I thought it was going to go, but I can't say I'm unhappy about the direction they went. I honestly thought they may have ended up all being together - well not Hawk and Jase lol. I definitely struggle sometimes with the multiple points of view. I really struggled with Dirty and Ellie. That was just weird. This book though it was pretty good.

Disappointed!

I love this series, this writer. I couldn't wait for this book to come out. But I felt I didn't get what we were told we were going to get. Which was Dorothy and Hawk's story. This whole book felt like a moment, a day in the life and what a grim day it was. Gone was the epic sweep of MS books past....the laughs, the crazy out of control-ness, the zany personalities....it was kitchen sink grim. And not a heck of a lot happened either. It was mostly a coming to terms moment for the main characters involved--D, Hawk and Jace. Each one of these characters had long moments of thought to themselves about the crossroads they were facing, the lessons they'd learned, the choices they needed to make. But it just didn't make for gripping, exciting, intriguing reading. And Jace's scenes weren't terribly interesting, I didn't care about him so much, not invested. I was greedy for Hawk and D!!! No such satisfaction, though. We found out about Hawk's background, and then a choice he and Deuce made for the good of the club and......that was it. Really. Yep, we saw black hearted ZZ (sigh) and that story line continues on until we get to his book. My red hot disappointment lies in the fact that we don't get to see how it all began with Hawk and Dorothy. When that secret relationship was revealed in a previous book, it was a TOTAL mindblower, it was fantastic! I was dying from then to see how it got started...to live all that hot, secret intensity between these two. How he "forced" her, how she couldn't say no to him, how he was a good dad through it all, etc, etc...(Ach, don't get me started!) Did we get those scenes here, the book dedicated to these two wonderful characters?? Nope. I still can't believe it! Instead we get recollections, thinking, more thinking, pondering, deciding, declaring...all rather passive and tedious after the beginning excitement wore off. Yes, it is MS so it is well written and emotional. But it's all thinking, pondering and deciding and a lot less wild and funky. And no, it's not because "they're older now." So what? I wanted to live Hawk and Dorothy like we've vibrantly lived the other couples' stories in all the previous books. But we don't get to. Why, Madeline?? The mood of this book was very subdued, serious, which made it different from the others. (Yes, the goodbye scene made me cry.) And, no, different is not a bad thing, but this story just wasn't a very interesting read.

EXCELLENT

I have had a love/hate relationship with this whole series, but LOVE wins because I have reread all of them more than 2 times! Madeline just blows me away with her ability to make me love her books even while I want to throttle some of the characters :) I was anxiously (obsesively?) waiting for the release of this book after finishing the last book Unattainable. I was not disappointed. I was up all night reading because I totally lost track of time and could not put it down. 5am came as a real surprise! Glad it was not a workday because I think I would have still done it!! I loved watching the relationship between D and Hawk unfold. It was such a long time coming and reading more of the backstory made me even more angry at Jace than I was in previous books. He paid a very high price for his selfishness, but so did Dorothy, Chrissy and everyone else in his life. I am now OBSESSIVELY waiting for ZZs story!! After the tiny piece included at the end of Unbeloved, I just cannot wait! I will once again be stalking Madeline's FB page and website hoping beyond hope that it will be soon. It seems she plans on releasing Preachers story first - I'm torn about that. Have never thought of Preacher like 'that' ... But maybe I will be surprised. I secretly hope she changes her mind and releases ZZs book first. do not miss this book ! If you have not read the other 3 in the series DO NOT hesitate! You will be hopeful, angry, screaming mad, sad and everything in between when you read thm, but it's all worth it.

Madeline can write a crazy good story.

Madeline can write a crazy good story...but I'll admit I kinda hope one day she'll write a love story that is all fluffy bunnies and smiles because I'm tired of feeling like I need to armor up before starting one of her books. By the end of one of her biker books I don't know if I want a shower to scrub off all the scum that feels left behind after sweating through the anxiety and angst, a good cry from all the pain or just a good scream to release the tension. Unbeloved is both more and less than her previous books in the series. The focus is Jase, Hawk and Dorothy in the now with just minor flashbacks. I liked the fact that the book stayed focused on their story. I'm not a fan of multiple romances in one book and still think Ellie and Dirty got shorted in having to share storyline. A lot less angst since it dealt with the now and not the past (which I was very thankful for) but the pain and heartbreak....I think I spent most of the book reading through teary eyes. Even Jase made me teary and I was never a fan of his. In the end,as only Madeline seems to be able to do, there was such beauty in all that pain. Unfortunately there was very little sex, and I missed it. Then there's the epilogue. *shudder* As strange as it sounds I hope it's a while before we get ZZ's story. I am NOT ready to read that nightmare. After his brief appearance in this book and that epilogue I'm not sure there's any way to armor up and prepare what his story could entail.

Wanted more from their story

Spoil Free Review Rating: 3 Stars - Liked It Genre: Contemporary Romance Heat: Hot - Fan Yourself Source: Bought I was looking forward to how Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk story played out especially after Unattainable (Undeniable #3). Sad to say I wanted more from their story. Started out strong, middle a tad boring and ended amazing. Unbeloved is not only Dorothy's journey in finding forgiveness and self-discovery. It is also about the outcome of Hawke and Jase actions and leading to redemption. Now her journey did bore me at times. I really wanted to feel for her as she had to go through many hard obstacles to find her man. Hawke I loved his backstory as it was interesting and plays a big roll in the story. I was thankful for the flashbacks with Dorothy, Jase and Hawke's relationship. But I really needed more. I felt their story was being told to me and not enough showing. I had no problems with their story being in the present, I really needed more shown on their past to really get the connection with each other. I wanted to see the jealousy, the sneaking around and the heartaches. Their story lacked angst and for all that they have been through it really should of been there. I wanted more Hawke and Jase at each others throat especially since they were in love with the same woman. I was a little surprised that Preacher story is next and not ZZ. Was a little bummed readers are getting his story first but I get it now. I really wanted his scene played out and not told. I definitely want his book now in Undeserving (Undeniable #5). Unbeloved was missing the raw, gritty, dark, emotional feel readers have come to love in the Undeniable series. It is tame, less steamy and I was fine with that. I loved that it was different than the other novels. At times a series can get old when it has the same formula and feel to it. I have stopped reading series because of the this. Some times raw, dark and gritty does not fit the characters or the story and in this case it would of not worked. But the emotional roller coaster should of been there and it was not. ZZ alone gets a 5 star. Loved that I am only getting teasers of him. Once again I am screaming at my kindle "No.. ZZ what have you done!". Can not believe Madeline Sheehan went there. It is twisted and I love it. Once again Madeline Sheehan is brilliant. If you are a fan of ZZ and read all his messed up actions well lovelies this has got to be the worst of them yet. His jaw dropping moment stayed with me for days. It's about to get real and I hope it is coming Madeline Sheehan style. Raw, gritty, dark and all kinds of messed up.

Was it horrible? Of course not

I had such high hopes for this one…and it just fell a little flat for me. Was it horrible? Of course not! Did I love it? Unfortunately, no. I am torn in rating this...I think some of the issues I had are not book related, but more about how I thought things would go. Despite the blurb (which I almost never read) I was expecting this to be current love triangle things picking up where they left off in book 3. This story is more the fallout from the relationships they had. I really liked Dorothy, Hawk, and even Jase. I just didn’t like the direction this book took. I cannot describe to you how much I wanted to love this one. When this book was released early... I couldn’t wait to open this baby up, and was so excited to finally see it on my kindle. It started out slow in the beginning. Telling background information and alternating between past and present. About 40% in I still had hope that things would finally pick up. Unfortunately, when it did…it took off in a direction I didn’t like. I was not at all happy with the events that took place, and I was seriously hoping up until the last moment that things would be different. This gif pretty much sums it up...I had hoped for something different... I will close with this…I have loved this series. To me Ms. Sheehan is the queen of writing MC books. Undeniable was the first MC book I ever read and I fell madly in love with it.

LOVE love LOVE UnBeloved

WOW! Unbeloved was the epitome of what a book should be! This book was flawless from cover to cover. It grabs your attention and holds you hostage for the duration of the book and then some. Dorothy's story was so emotionally charged, I felt every emotion as if I was her. I feel like Unbeloved holds a piece of the puzzle that is so big, without it, the series just could not be what it is without this story. I absolutely LOVED Unbeloved! I could not stop reading, and when I wasn't reading I was thinking about it- dreaming about it! AMAZING! I have the biggest book hangover right now, I can't even imagine picking up another book anytime soon! Some people are good at what they do for a living, some people are great at it...Madeline Sheehan is fan-freaking-tastic at what she does! Every book in the Undeniable series has consumed me so thoroughly, I live and breathe these books. It is an addiction so strong, I keep coming back again, and again. Like a heroin addict needing their next hit, I need to keep reading! It is an all consuming obsession that will break your heart, chew it up, spit it out and then tape it back together again. You will think about these books for weeks on end, dream about them, get everyone you know addicted to them just so you have someone to talk to about your addiction. You will compare every other MC book to Madeline's books and you be disappointed every time, because Madeline Sheehan is the MC book QUEEN and nothing and no one can ever compare to what she does!

Soap opera like issues

I have this thing about soap operas as in the ages of all the characters tend to regress toward a mean in a relatively short period of time. Suddenly everyone in the the entire town is somewhere between 20 and 35 or so and as time goes on their ages get closer together. I sense that happening with these books. And part of the issue is we started way back when Eva was just a young pup. Now I don't remember how old she was when the first book ended and kidn of sort of remember ages in the next two but by this book judging by the age of the kids alone she's older. Which makes Deuce older. It was actually mentioned about how old he was at one point. These book span a serious window of time and I still have the picture of young Eva in my head. And young Dorothy and young Ripper (who I think actually is younger?).... The aging thing is not covered well in these books which has made it all mish mash of people to me that are all basically visually the same age to me. Like I know Deuce's older daughter should be older because his younger daughter is hot and attracting attention now but the older girl hasn't aged. And I have to be honest here. I like these books. I like the over arching saga of all the books. But I'm feeling pretty sure this is about the 3rd time in as many books. Maybe even the 4th that I've read about the shooting. In detail. And granted it's typically from another view point and admittedly Dorothy's was kind of an important one there but I have to be honest after about a page of that I was over it. What would have interested me infinitely more would have been all the time that was just basically skimmed past when she was in recovery and Hawk's involvement with the kid... It was like this after thought in teh book and the book was about her. Instead I got a rehashing of the proposal with ZZ. And actually a lot of ZZ. And then a kind of convoluted Hawk storyline in general. I like my criminal organizations singular in books. Anymore than that... I just can't. It's just this rehashing of a singular point in time with these folks that is getting kind old for me and the age issues.

The best yet! Unbelievable!!!

I have read and enjoyed the entire Undeniable series. These stories are unlike anything I've read before. Gritty, dark and all-consuming. I've felt mostly shock and awe while reading them, but Unbeloved has brought me to a whole other level. I have been put through the ringer. My heart has broken off, piece by piece, then put back together again. I feel a big book hangover coming on, after this wonderful book. From previous books in this series, I enjoyed Jase, Hawk and Dorothy's story. It was interesting to say the least. Their journey continues here, many years after Dorothy gets shot, has Hawk's baby, loses then regains her memory. It is heartbreaking all around. I felt my emotions getting the best of me, quite often. Jase has become a broken down drunk, and I was really sad for him and everything he's gone through. I think his struggles got to me the most. I loved seeing Hawk and Dorothy try to work through their issues and come to realize what they really wanted. There was alot of stuff going on besides the relationships, and it added suspense and even more drama to the story. Not that it isn't already expected from the Hells Horsemen. This is a crazy group of characters, that provide so much entertainment. I was left with my mouth hanging open at the end of this book. Yes, there is a cliffhanger. Yes, it will be hard to wait for the next book. And, no, I CAN'T WAIT. Madeline Sheehan is simply brilliant. This one is the best yet.

Unbelievably Amazing!!!!

The Undeniable Series just keeps getting better and better. With each story the Madeline Sheehan writes it's like you can tell she puts everything she has of herself into her stories. UnBeloved is a story not of second chances, not even of third and fourth chances but a story of what it takes to truly come to terms with the consequences of our actions and learning to accept ourselves as a result of those actions. UnBeloved is about learning to let go of childish notions of love and realizing that REAL love is not like in the fairy tales. Forget the comics that state "love is never having to say sorry." In UnBeloved love is saying your sorry so many times that your voice is wrought with so much emotion you don't think the person your saying it to will understand you. Love is asking for forgiveness when you know that you absolutely don't deserve it but want it anyway, love is putting your ego aside and humbling yourself, not being afraid of what others may think because getting through to that other person, the person you can't stop thinking about the person who controls every waking thought you have; the person who has accepted you flaws and all deserves nothing more than to simply here the words I'm sorry. This is not the sugar coated love story of Dorothy, Jase and Hawk this is the story of forgiveness redemption and bitter truths and anyone wanting to read a story like this needs to get on the Madeline Sheehan train because you won't get anything less than amazing.

Loved!

Emotional overload I think I cried through this whole book. 69% really got me but 86% was a full blown ugly cry. I had to set my Kindle down take of my glasses put my face in my hands and sobbed for about 5 minutes. Just too much! I was just deeply saddened for all involved. Hawk I don’t know what to say except *sigh* I love him soooo much. I want to say more but don’t want to spoil. I have never liked Jase but even my heart broke for him a little and I felt for him. I still didn’t understand his choices and I still think he was incredibly selfish. Dorothy… my heart broke for her and I understood her a little. I wanted to shake her a few times but so glad when she started to discover herself. Wow a woman’s insecurities can really mess you up. But with age comes wisdom and I really liked the growth her and Jase both went through. Just so much time lost by all of the choices they all made. I just kept thinking how sad to lose so much time. As for the epilogue all I can say is I KNEW IT!! I see a lot of people had a WTF moment in the epilogue. I have had two theories on whom ZZ will end up with since Unattainable. Assuming this is the direction Madeline is going I got one right. I was so excited and then I started laughing. ZZ’s story is going to be a f****** roller coaster. I can’t wait!!

Loving me some Madeline Sheehan!!! And UnBeloved!

Sooooo this just happened. I finished UnBeloved!!!!! I have been waiting for this story to be told about these characters in this series. It is the story of Dorothy, Jase and Hawk. Let me just start out by saying the main reason that I love Madeline's writing is because she is raw, gritty, forward, honest, ugly, harsh, tough, heart warming. Wow did all of those just go in the the same sentence and make sense, yes well if you have read these books you would know! Yes well that I why I love and crave her books, because they are nothing that you will ever find. It is a rare breed these Hell's Horsemen characters from their catchy names that I find myself hearing among my daily ventures, "Deuce, Eva, Danny, and Cage." to their scandalous beings and sharp sailor tongues. I love it all. The story doesn't go in the direction I ever think it will go and that is why I know I keep coming back for more, just when you think you know what will happen, there is a kink in t he mix and it is all up in the air! I said earlier that I was craving this story of Dorothy and what her past consisted of, how she met Jase and the connection between her and Hawk. "There ain't no such thing as mistakes, Dorothy. There's only shit that happens and shit that don't" This summed up so much for me and also pointed a finger at my own life. I love how books do that sometimes!

An emotional ride to say the least

Be prepared for an emotional roller coaster! This is not your typical love triangle story. The angst between Dorothy, Jase and Hawk is like nothing I’ve ever read. For years, Dorothy was Jase’s side piece, until one night when Hawk was there for her. That one night started a chain of events that lead all three characters through years of loss and pain. However, through each painful and emotional moment we see that chain of events lead each one of them to their home. I honestly couldn’t put this book down. A beautifully, emotional and painful story but so worth the read. We also get glimpses of all of our previous couples from the Undeniable series, so it’s like staying in touch with friends you haven’t seen in a while. I absolutely love this series and can’t recommend it enough.

4.5 Cupcakes

Well…….like you I’ve been waiting on this story and also wanting to get a glimpse at everyone else in the series to see how they’re doing. But and I do mean BUT……I didn’t really enjoy Dorothy , Hawk & Jase’s story as much as I thought I would. Jase was always someone in the series I liked reading bout and I found myself hoping he would get his HEA in the other books. But in this one, I don’t know he turned into a big whining man who felt sorry for himself all the time. He never tried to better himself and move on, he was selfish and because of that lost everything he loved and didn’t love also! Hawk’s story was a bit more intriguing and I liked him a lot throughout this book. He had a shity hand dealt to him, but he took it in strides and faced it head on. Dorothy, I just didn’t like her that much she whined just as much as Jase did. Only she didn’t cry about everything like he did. Her and Hawk ending up together, I thought was a good ending to their story. You could tell they loved each other but Jase was always in between them, and Dorothy refusing to leave her safety net behind. Overall it was good, not as good as the others but good. I still want to read ZZ’s story, and curious as to what he’s planning on doing taking Ivy. But we have to wait unfortunately! Till next time – Sweets Books

MY VERY FAVORITE SERIES OF ALL TIME

I don't really know what to say about this series except it is exceptionally delicious. I have never read any story, MC or otherwise, that I have loved more than this series. It will make you cry, it will make you laugh, and above all it will make you care about each and every single character. They may not all get the ending you think they should, but they get the raw, gritty, everyday real life ending that makes this series great. I love everyone of "the boys" and I can't help that my heart hurts for Josh and ZZ. Even what he did to his brothers, he was so good at the beginning. I can't imagine how his story will be, but I can't wait to read it after Preachers. Hawk was something special, what a story of his life and love. I wish that Dorothy hadn't waisted so much time "hiding", but that is just part of the story that makes them all so special. I love how each story flows to the next but in no way is a cliffhanger. I will recommend this series to everyone. Even though it is definitely not for the weak or faint of heart, they are just wonderful and a definite MUST READ. But please, read the series in order to completely understand the dynamics of the story. You are so talented Madeline, I can't wait to read all of your books. P.S. Please don't let Deuce die, I will never recover.

Another Great Book In The Series!

This book in the series focuses on the story of Hawk and Dorthy. As with the other books in the series, this one is a must read. Although the main focus was on the love between the two, it also provides some details of Dorthy's love affair with Jase and how her affair with Hawk came to be. It was nice to see the good guy get the girl in the end. However, the road isn't going to be an easy one and both Hawk and Dorthy will have to make some huge sacrifices to be together. Eventually, they get their HEA, so it's worth it. I also enjoyed reading more about Jase and was glad to see him begin to piece his life back together. After the last book ends, Jase is little more than a shell of a person, trying to drown his sorrows in booze. Even though Jase kind of got what he deserved, I still felt bad for him and it was nice to see him change his ways and get a shot at redemption. The book ends with one hell of a teaser for the next book. I'm dying to read it! Hopefully, it will be a little steamier than this one. The only reason that I gave four stars instead of five is that I've come to expect that from this series and this book was a bit tamer in the sex department.

Another thrilling ride with the Hell's Horsemen - UnBeloved #4

Madeline Sheehan, you wicked talented bitch! When I first read UnDeniable, it was so gritty, so raw, so different from every other book I've read that it left me spinning. I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, but then I read UnBeautiful and was totally hooked on this series. I was so excited for Dorothy, Jase & Hawk's story, and UnBeloved did not disappoint. The heart wants what the heart wants, and Dorothy truly loved both Jase and Hawk. I hurt for Dorothy, watching her fall in love at first sight with Jase, following him, waiting for him, believing him every time he said he would leave his wife for her, hoping he would chose her. But he never does. He strings her along, enjoying having it all, until he ends up losing everything. And Hawk, trying to create a new life for himself, loving Dorothy, wanting her to belong to him, hurting for her, wanting to be a family, then sacrificing himself for the club - *hand over my heart with a heavy sigh*. I loved watching these three make their decisions in their 20's and 30's, then watching them live the consequences of their decisions in their 40's, dealing with the fallout and regret, piecing their lives back together, then making the hard choices that would allow them to move forward with their fractured lives. I was hanging on for dear life throughout this thrill ride, and it was full throttle from beginning to end.

Excellent book.

Madeline Sheehan knows better than most how to write a hurtful story. I spend most of my time while reading these books crying 😂. Which I apparently enjoy, because I seem to read a lot of books that do this to me. Excellent book.

Gail H. said it perfectly, "A Homecoming"

lit·er·a·ture ˈlit(ə)rəCHər,-ˌCHo͝or,-ˌt(y)o͝or/Submit noun noun: literature; plural noun: literatures written works, especially those considered of SUPERIOR or LASTING artistic merit. "a great work of literature" synonyms: written works, writings, writing, creative writing, literary texts, compositions; informallit "English literature" When one thinks of literature you think of Shakespeare,Jane Austen, Emily Bronte just to name a few. Well when I think of literature, Madeline Sheehan comes to mind. I don't know how it was possible but I just knew, just knew that UnBeloved would speak to me in a way the others haven't. As if Dorothy was my fictional soulmate, we grew and became whole together. But this story wasn't just about D,Hawk, and Jase because if you're a Hell's Horsemen then it's about the whole club. This isn't Undeniable, Deuce isn't going to get shot for being with Eva and crazy Frankie has long since gone to ground. This is years later, when everyone's choices and mistakes have brought them to exactly where they are meant to be. I would love to say that they all got a happily ever after but this isn't Disney and The Hell's Horsemen are definitely not your typical prince charming. It was almost a closing of a chapter and the beginning of something MORE. I know there are two more books in the series, but even after they have been written and read, the stories of The Hell's Horsemen and their old ladies will forever live on.

and she does it again!!

UnBeloved starts strong and keeps you at the edge of your seat until the very end. Anyone who has read any of the Undeniable books, knows that THIS book was going to be fast paced, gripping and leaves you wanting the next book asap! Madeline Sheehan does not disappoint with the latest installment. This is such a hard book to review without giving any spoilers, so I will just have to keep it brief and try not to give anything way. one of the main story lines is who will Dorothy end up with, will she pick Jace or Hawk, Does she even need to now that she can stand on her own feet? a huge plus for me, is that this was not drawn out for the whole book, Dorothy is a strong woman now and makes her choice and sticks with it. we revisit all of the people we love/hate. and get teased for what is yet to come ( omg the epilogue!!) I would recommend that you read the books in order, so you have the back story and have a greater understanding. but, it is not a must. the way it is written, you will pick up really quick! 5 stars well earned, not for the faint of heart, or weak minded. this is a biker book. it is not sunshine and rainbows, but real like never is <3

Dorothy minus Toto and Ruby Red Slippers...

I wish I could absorb this book over again as if I've never read it. I loved this book as much as UnBeautifully. Dorothy's story is one of hope, and fairytails with a bucket load of Biker reality thrown in. It was very easy to relate to her throughout her story and I found myself really routing for her and admiring her strength even if her decisions ended up hurting herself more. Hawk... oh I felt for him. His desire for family but devotion to the club, you could feel how it pulled at his heartstrings. Jace, well... I believe he got what he deserved after being such a glutten over the years with his family, the club and Dorothy. Karma really is a bitch sometimes. I loved catching up with the other members and reading about their kids and families, who got married and who passed. Madeline has such a gifted talent within her writing style. She has the ability to suck you into the story so much that you lose yourself - at least I did. And lets not forget the Epilogue... OMG!! My husband told me "You have an addiction" I replied that when it came to madeline's stories, you bet your ass I do! One-Click this, devour it, love it!! I sure did. 5 Stars is simply not enough.

This Ain't No Bubblegum Romance

CRAP - I feel hung over after reading this book. It was soooo good, but in an intense, almost depressing with happy edges kind of way. Real Quick - 10 Things ( BE WARNED - A WEE BIT of SPOILERS) **********SPOILERS******************************** SERIOUSLY*************** First off - don't read this series out of order. Second - don't read this thinking Dorothy is finally going to catch a break. I mean, I guess technically, for Dorothy, things were better, but to us readers...d*mn it sucks to be her. Third- I LOVE Hawk. I wish, just WISH we could have spent more time with Hawk. Fourth - I LOVE Jase - but in a completely different way. In a F***ed up way, probably much like Dorothy. I wish for him, that he could have brought Dorothy a HEA, but I wish nothing for Dorothy but Hawk. See? F***ed up. Fifth - Deuce!!!!!!!! - 'nuff said Sixth - REALLY COX!???!!! Seventh - WHAT THE F, ZZ??!?!?!?!? Eighth - WHYYYYYY HAWK, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, LIFE IS NOT FAIR! Ninth - NOOOOOO PREACHER! NOOOOOOOOOOOO and tenth - Seriously this was f***ed up, but wouldn't have it any other way. Life is not a Disney movie, or all bubblegum and Unicorn farts. It's real, its raw...and for some of us, we have to wrestle it, bend it and break it to get what FINALLY is owed. Totally recommend

Hawk, Dorothy and Jase

As I read this story, I couldn't help but notice that it's a lot different from the other books in this series. In Unbeloved, we travel with Dorothy on her journey, both present and past, with the men she loved - Jase and Hawk. One she says goodbye to, and the other she finally admits her love for after letting go of her fear. We meet Christopher, Dorothy and Hawk's son. Deuce is present, only he's a little more laid back and reserved. Cox and Kami are still fighting, as are Cage and Tegen. Everyone is older and time has passed. It's a good book, just a lot different. There's a side story with the Russian mafia, which we learn Hawk is related to. And ZZ is there and worse than ever. We actually get a little preview of what's to come in a future book and it looks like ZZ is really about to sign his death warrant. There's no way Deuce won't go after him now. Yeah, it was different, but still good and I enjoyed seeing Jase, Dorothy and Hawk all getting a happy ending that fit their characters perfectly.

From page one you are engulfed in a love triangle. Dorothy

A MUST READ!!! Omg...I just finished this book and I am speechless. Madeline Sheehan is phenomenal. Truly a phenomenal writer. This book captured every emotion. From page one you are engulfed in a love triangle. Dorothy, Jace and Hawk these three find their way into your heart. I truly didn't know who I wanted Dorothy to finally end up with. I absolutely loved both Hawk and Jace. You read each view point and feel each emotion they all go through. Reading an MC book you dont expect to cry and feel heart broken. Yet, that was me. Yep I totally sobbed. Madeline wrote such a phenomenal book that I felt I was there experiencing the good byes and the loss of love. This book was truly a heart wrenching story. Its such an incredible addition to the story and the epilogue just keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting more. I am so sorry I dont know what else to say because I will give it all away. All I can say is if you havent read this series GO BUY ALL FOUR BOOKS NOW! Seriously you need to read all of them now put down what you are reading and go read them now...go on...what are ypu waiting for. Go ~Tracie

Full Circle....

Full circle, we are now coming full circle with Dorothy, Jase and Hawk. This much anticipated story was well worth the wait. And even though going into it I didn't know who I wanted her to pick, I'm happy with how it all played out. So much happens in this story, we almost have 3 separate stories going on that just so happen to intersect with our 3 main characters. Each one has made mistakes. Mistakes that have cost them all dearly. Decisions that they all wish they could "do over", but those decisions brought them to the end game. Who will Dorothy choose? Once you read it all play out, the answer is really very simple. But life is never that simple right? Just when you think you have it all put back together, everything changes. I will admit I cried, Sheehan has a way of pulling emotions out of the reader you would never usually feel just by reading a book. But we are all in love with these characters, and somehow you feel what they feel. And you cry with them, for sadness, and joy. I could go on and on about this book, but I will leave you to discover on you own. Loved every word of it, soooo looking forward to the next one!

Snoozeville..........

. I debated writing this review, but felt I wanted to try to share with the author an honest review, to encourage her to write what she knows best. I don't know how to nicely say it, but, I could barely finish this book, as I was bored to death. It was a mix of not really caring about the characters she wrote about, or just the bland story that was told. I can't even compare this to her first novel, it was that different. The spark of her writing was gone. At first, I thought the story had potential to get exciting (the Russian mafia angle) but it just fell flat on its face. I know the author was a little upset at some of the low reviews given, as she has stated she wrote the bland story on purpose, and it wasn't meant to be like the other books. Okay, fair enough, the writer is entitled to write what she wants, but, that doesn't change my opinion. It was still boring, and I could have skipped it to tell you the truth. I agree with some of the reviewers it lacked excitement, it lacked the darkness and evil that Undeniable had. That is what Ms. Sheehan did best. While I thought Undeniable was the best of the series ( Books 2 and Books 3 were okay) I hope she instead of perceiving the lower reviews as a criticism, she realizes that she had a winning formula with her first book. I liked Danny and Ripper's story, liked Cage and Teagen less (she is just annoying period), and I am looking forward to reading about Preacher (and his family, loved it!) and ZZ. Now on a positive note, I LOVED the Epilogue to ZZ's story. Now that is what this club is about. Reading how ZZ was aiming his gun at the supposed woman he loved is the dark and gritty of these stories we have grown to love. Not some sappy love drama....I truly hope the author realizes her strengths in storytelling, and get back to it. If the last installments are written like this one, I will be passing, because I honestly just couldn't care enough to keep reading it. Again, in all fairness, maybe it's because I just didn't care for Dorothy or Hawk, or Jase, or just the story was all over the place. The dark grit was missing. Sorry, I just like darker or more twisted tales. I'm glad many seemed to enjoy it being faithful fans of Madeline....but I can't give this one the thumbs up. I hope she realizes this as she writes the last 2 books, because it would be real disappointing if she continued to tone down the stories in her last installments. The 5 stars for this book was way over rated out of loyalty to the author in my opinion. I don't easily give 5 stars to anything.

REEL IT IN!!!

"My weakness, my choices, and my decisions-the ones I made and the ones I didn't- all took me down a rocky road filled with retreat, heartbreak, and pain. And eventually, they nearly killed me." Madeline is the QUEEN of MC books!!! It feels like I have been waiting forever for this book to come out and it was WORTH the wait!!! The Undeniable series will always be my favorite MC series ever. Unbeloved is a 5 star book that you need to one-click. Dorothy and Hawk both love each other but we all know from the events in the other books that things are complicated for them. Unbeloved takes place seven years after Dorothy was shot. She has moved away from the club and only has minimal interaction with them when she has to. It takes a terrible event to set everything in motion for Hawk and Dorothy to be together. Just like the other books in the series their love is a real one and as we all know love is not always easy. I love this series and I will impatiently be waiting for the next book in the series to come out. PS: I almost cried at parts in this book so be prepared!! Happy Reading XOXO R

My new favorite of the series!

This is the book we've all been waiting for and it did not disappoint. Unbeloved centers on Dorothy, Hawk, and Jase and takes place seven years after Dorothy's tragedy. I loved the details into each of their backgrounds and the flashbacks of Hawk's and Jase's respective love affair with Dorothy. They are all filled with such regret, wishing they could have done things differently. But another tragedy puts everything into perspective and Dorothy decides she's done with hiding, done being scared, and she's done wasting time. I also loved the scenes with all of the club members. They're all getting older. They're a tight family who loves and takes care of one another. Cox and Kami are always good for providing some comic relief, which was needed in this book more than the others. There were a handful of times I cried. There were also a lot of gasp out loud surprises, which Sheehan is really good at giving. The ending was amazing. Everything was as it should be for Dorothy, Hawk, and Jase. The epilogue was out of this world, just a hint of things to come for ZZ and the new generation of Horsemen. I absolutely loved it. Best of the series!

So good!!

What can I say that has not already been said about this author. This series is the best by far that is out there. It is the series that started the whole trend for MC books. No one comes even close to writing like Madeline. Madeline takes you deeper into Jase, Hawk and Dorothy' s life. These people had made choices that all blew up in their faces and tore their lives apart. Jase is a broken man that looses everything and has to fine his way out. Hawk has hidden secrets that are revealed and his world finally comes together only to be torn apart again. And Dorothy has to finally take responsibility for her actions and accept her mistakes to finally move on and have to courage to be strong. All th other characters are here, Deuce, Eva, Kami, Cox, Ripper, Danny, Teagen, Cage you get to see them and how they have grown and just to be with old friends. ZZ is also in the book and you get to see what has become of him over the years.Cannot wait for his book to come out! When a book just sucks you in and makes you cry you know you are reading a good book. Great job Madeline!

Raw, gritty, challenging ... beautifully crafted

Raw, real, unapologetic … Madeline Sheehan consistently delivers again and again with her Undeniable series. In Unbeloved we get the story of how Dorothy ended up at the MC as an employee but then ends up in Jase's bed. Dorothy has traveled a very dreary road but has worked to bring herself out of it on the other side but still in a dreary world. I admire her perseverance to leave a loveless marriage and work to make a life for herself and Tegan. Jase is selfish, he is married with two daughters and really doesn't appreciate what he has so he pursues Dorothy. This fills part of Dorothy but leaves her empty at the same time and then one night with Hawk happens and something new is awakened in Dorothy. We know from the other books that Dorothy is shot in the head, how does this injury change everyone's precariously built lives? How do they survive this crazy tumult of emotions? This is rough journey to take but necessary to see how these lives intertwine and interact with everyone else at the MC. Once again beautifully written and crafted by Madeline Sheehan.

Hell's Horsemen, what can you say!!

I will start off by saying that I was patiently awaited this book. Although not my favorite in the series (that distinction is held for Deuce), it was a really awesome book. Madeline is taking this story right to where it needs to be. I love the fact that she is taking the book through the years of the club, bring the kids of our favorites into the mix. I had anxiety as I read the book, from reading a fellow fan's review I knew some things were going to happen, not to who, but that they would be happening. So through the book I wondered as I read, which gave me plenty of "Oh no!" moments. My wonderfully cocky, gruff, mean bada** Deuce, made plenty of appearances through out the book which was a plus for me, as he is my #1. Dorothy/Hawk/Jase's stories were well written and thought out. the epilogue just makes you say WTF!!! I can't wait to read ZZ's story, he definitely was a shocking surprise for me. I love the Hell's Horsemen, their old ladies, the club whores and all their gruff and rough personalities. Another awesome ride through words from Mrs Bada** herself, Madeline!

******LOV THIS AUTHOR*****

Wow What a Way to End the Book ... Total on Edge!! & a WTF .. I did feel that the book was short, but maybe it was just me as I love to read this series & about the people in this series.... A totally in line but different than the others , much slower a more in depth story about the three involved , Hot ....not as much as the others , still there , just not in every other scene as other books have been ... The story expands a ten year process with the whole club , I did think it was a little rushed towards the end , with just telling you what has happened with no expansion , good to hear but again maybe being greedy wanting more... More... More... I listened to this book on Audio & the women who narrated it was great.. I find when reading Madeline Sheehan work I read it so dam fast that I always miss stuff ... Listening to it ... You Listen at the Narrated pace you don't miss anything ... So get one clicking people LOV LOV loved it ... As always want the next ...

Epic

Madeline's Hell's Horsemen stories are unconventional romances, never lover-dovey, yet they leave you with an ache in your heart that is unrivaled. A pain so severely good and decadent. A desire to find your own distorted happiness and ride away on the back of a bike. Unbeloved is not only the story of lost love between Jase and Dorothy, that forever and unfaltering type of love between Hawk and D, but also the love a makeshift family led by Deuce. A real psychological look at the bonds of the bikers, their women and kids, this book spins a sticky web. One you will not escape until you have read the whole book. In one sitting. I tried to break it up, savor it, but then gave in and read the whole thing with tears in my eyes, my pulse racing, and never wanting it to end. I don't want to include spoilers, but this book has a definite different feel, and its not a bad one. Not primarily focused on one couple, but the whole club, leaving off with the next generation, it is riveting from page one. Now, we will all be begging, pleading, and bargaining with Madeline for the next book.

Loved It

I wasn't really looking forward to reading this book. Don't get me wrong, I was always going to read it just because I love the series but I thought it would just be like filler- something to read until the real story picked back up. I felt like it was going to be about secondary characters that didn't really matter. I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised at how much I really liked this book. They all turned out to be people I cared about and I wanted things to work out for them. It's actually a love story. It's about all different kinds of love: between a man and woman, the love of brotherhood, the love of family and friendship. One thing I always have trouble with is the aging of my favorite characters. I guess I fear that they'll be replaced with people I don't know and don't really care about but Madeline Sheehan did an awesome job of maturing the characters and introducing the new ones so that you care about them. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I think it's one of the best in the series.

Full of raw emotion!

I'm glad I read this when my husband wasn't home because ugly snot cry is NOT a good look on me. Of course neither is my scrunched up WTF!? face, and I did a lot of both during the course of this book. By the time you make it this far in the series you are so emotionally attached to the characters that you feel every triumph and every heartbreak very deeply. I have to admit I was a little weary of this one because in general I do not like love triangles. This book blew me away though. The way that Madeline Sheehan approached the relationship between Dorothy, Hawk, and Jase is just pure genius! As far as ZZ goes, that boy is breaking my heart. I wait with bated breath to see where the story goes from here. There is so much skill and talent in that woman that it boggles the mind. To take a bunch of sexy, foul mouthed, criminal bikers and make them a family, make you feel as if they are a part of YOUR family.....I don't even have the works to eplain how awesome that is.

UNDENIABLE SERIES: RAW, RAUNCHY, GRITTY

I may not gave the first book a good review, but the 2nd thru the 4th book had me on a heart wrenching, rollercoaster of a ride of raw emotions. ALL THESE CHARACTERS in the club have true meaning to me and I have grown closer to each one. This series is not the sweet little lubby dubby love story most females like to read but yet the grit in each story only draws you closer to the characters and their lives they were hell bent to live. I loved Dorothy from the other books and was glad she made her mind up about Hawk. Who knew what secret Hawk had been hiding, like to have fainted when I found out. I totally lost it when Hawk had to go away again and leave Dorothy and his son. Then my heart jumped in my throat with the shocking CLIFFHANGER at the end. Please tell me ZZ gets his or I will die. I am hoping a book is in the future about Jase, but at the end of this book there was no mention of him, just Preacher and ZZ. Looking forward to the next thrill ride.

UnBeloved is unbelievable!

I never write reviews. I'm no good at them. But this series, and Madeline Sheehan, have.absolutely blown me away. In almost every book I read, I tend to find aspects of a character's personality or struggle that I can relate to myself or a situation I am currently experiencing. With Dorothy in UnBeloved, almost everything about her reminds me of myself. Idealistic from a very young age, only to find herself making mistake after mistake and ending up in a situation she would have never, in a million years, pictured herself in. Loving a married man and knowing he would never choose her over his wife, but being too scared of being alone to end it. Hawk has his own demons. Ones that, had it not been for Deuce's help all those years ago, would have ended his life before getting the opportunity to make things right. This book was full of funny moments, heartbreak, love and redemption. There was enough backstory given that this could.probably be read as a.stand alone book, but I would.never recommend it. To really understand the characters, the history and the MC, you need to read the first three books in this series.

A really good read, but I had some issues

First off, I want to say I love Madeline Sheehan and love the way she writes. This book was my least favorite in the series, however. It was still a really good read, and would probably read it again, but I felt that all of the angst and drama were played out in the other books. ***SPOILERS*** When Dorothy made her choice somewhere in the beginning of this book, the love triangle was pretty much done. I wish there was more of a confrontation between the characters. Hawk vs. Jace, Dorothy vs. Jace, etc.... It seemed like everyone was just so accepting of what Dorothy wanted and what she was going to do that their opinions didn't really matter. IAnd Jace's side story with his daughters didn't really add to the love story of the book. I guess it lacked the love, romance, angst, and drama of Ms. Sheehan's other books... And I didn't like that after spending so much time apart, Hawk and Dorothy had to spend even more time apart...

Beautiful, heartbreaking and Brilliant

I Love this Series!! The Prologue in this book was so good it sent tingles down my spine. And the rest of the book didn't disappoint either!! This is Dorothy, Hawk and Jase's story and the love triangle that we all got to know about indirectly in previous books is resolved here. I must admit going into this book I didn't know who Dorothy would choose, and I was really looking forward to see how this was all going to work itself out. It was truly the right person for the right reasons and it was perfect!! Madeline doesn't make life easy for any of her characters and these 3 were no exception. The journey to discovery for all 3 was so painful and towards the end of the book I cried with Dorothy - big ugly tears. I loved Dorothy And Hawk and even Jase. I hope he finds what he has been searching for for so many years and I hope Madeline tells us more about Jase in the books to come. The epilogue leaves you in a state of shock!!! Bring on the next book!!!

UnBeloved

I've been reading this series since the beginning and I have to say I've never come across a series that is so beautifully interwoven as the UnDeniable series is. Madeline can't tell a story like no author I've ever come across before. Hawk Dorothy and Jase's story is not pretty and it spans decades. Some might think that Dorothy is weak for not making up her mind I think she's actually a very strong women but like a lot of women do she didn't value herself enough to put a stop to her relationship with Jace sooner. She didn't feel worthy of him so she continued on even after getting involved with Hawk. I loved this story it was so good to finally see what was going on with these three. This series I suppose could be read as stand alones but I honestly wouldn't suggest it. If you want the full Madeline Sheehan effect and get to know all the wonderfully beautifully flawed characters I suggest you start with UnDeniable trust me it's worth it and more. #HellsHorsemenForever #RideOn

All the stars and more!

I've never made a secret of the fact that I'm a huge Madeline Sheehan fan. That said, it won't come as a surprise to anyone that I am giving Unbeloved 5 stars. If there were more stars, it would get those too. Madeline gets all of the stars! What might come as a surprise is this book is now my favorite of the entire series. Like all of the other books in the series, this one pulls you into the pages and holds you hostage until it has wrung every thought, every emotion, every heartbeat from you. You are part of the scene. You are part of the story. These are your people, and you are theirs. Once again, Madeline has taken what we thought we knew and blown us away with how little we truly did know. If there are still readers out there who have not read this series, who have not discovered the magic that is a Madeline Sheehan story, they really must come out and let the light shine upon them! They will forever be changed.

Another great book in the series!

Another great book in the series! I really like this series of books as well as the characters in it. Finally, we have Jase, Dorothy and Hawk's story..... I really enjoyed reading on how Dorothy came to her position in the club and then later in her life as well as what lead her to find Jase and then Hawk. I laughed at parts, cried at others and had hope throughout. Their story held me captive and I could not put it down. Also, I really enjoyed the flow of the book. It was nice to have all the points of view that are both directly and indirectly related to this story and they were easy to follow. Those different POV's helped to give a better angle on the characters. ZZ's story will be tough... I felt for him throughout the other books but this one had me rethinking my "like" for him. Can't wait to read more in this series.

I Love the Hell's Horsemen!!!!

OMG, I just finished UnBeloved and all I can say right now is if I ever get a chance to meet the uber awesomeness that is Madeline Sheehan, I will not only Hhh, but also kiss this woman. Each and every book she has written in this series just pulls you in, you can't help but feel like you know these characters and you feel every emotion they go through...the good, the bad, and the ugly. There were several times I cried while reading this book, and I can't wait to go through all of those emotions again, because this will be a book I will read again (and again). The story of Hawke, Dorothy, and Jace was a love triangle that is not only believable, but also one that as a reader I knew my heart would break while reading. I can't wait to read this again, and even though I just finished I do believe I will pick it up as soon as I finish this review.

Simply Fantastic

What can I say but Madeline Sheehan has done it again. What an incredible read from the very first page to the very last one. This is book four in this MC series and they just keep getter better with each one. This is Dorothy,Jase and Hawk's story. A Story that has brought us through the years in their relationship all there ups and downs and where does it leads us too. We once again fall in love with all the men and old ladies in this series. Deuce,Eva,Kami,Cox,Ripper,Danny and the rest. I love how we have seen these characters grow through out the years and how their children have grown up. This book will have you definitely laughing out loud and crying in parts but you would not want to pass this one up or the first three in this series. If you love MC books this is definitely the one you MUST read you will so not be disappointed in anyway.

Better than I Had Hoped For!

I really expected for this one to be my least favorite, because I couldn't see how Sheehan could shape the story in a way that everyone came out happy. Or, at least where Hawk and Dorothy made it out together happy and together. I should know by now to never underestimate Madeline Sheehan. The story is told 7 years after Christopher's birth, which suprised me because I thought she would tell the whole story from start to finish with the infamous love triangle. However, she actually does a very good job of keeping the story flowing from where we left off(ish) from "Unattainable" providing us with brief glimpses into the past and thereby painting the background to their current situations (Hawk, Dorothy, and Jase). What an awesome roller coaster of a story! I am still reeling from the Epilogue! We get a sneak peak into the next book, "Undying," and a clue as to who she is pairing with ZZ. I am still in shock at her choice! Bravo, Madeline.

The only sad part is that I couldn't give it more than 5 stars.

Yet again, spectacular. I waited with baited breath and the moment that link hit my message screen I purchased. 6:22 I dove in like a mad woman. Kids don't exist at this moment, WHY??? I've got my other family I need to check in on. I sent a message to a friend when I was 38% in. I had already cried twice, she had yet to start. Oh she's going to be in for it. As I slid my finger to pull up the next page I got closer and closer to the end. 86% in I had to stop and message her again. I literally cried from 86% off. My heart was breaking. No, I won't give spoilers because tools like to threaten to pull their books for them. BOO HOO The epilogue hits and I'm officially D O N E.. Gutted, decimated, still crying for fictional characters. 8:31 the story is over dang. When's the next book coming out???

Unbeloved is Unbelievably Beautiful

Book 4 in this series, can an author really sustain the heights of the previous 3 books? YES... and actually surpass..that's right SURPASS! First as always toss your preconceived notions and expectations out the window. This goes back to the beginning .. the beginning of Dorothy and Jase, the beginning of Dorothy and Hawk. We have had 3 books to build up to their story, and now that it is here it does NOT disappoint. This is NOT a rehash of the first 3 books, this is the collision of 3 lives, the choices they make and the fallout of those choices. If you have paid any attention in the first 3 books, you won't be disappointed with the flow and the feel of this story. IF you are looking for cookie cutter, a respin or similar variation of the first 3 books, you WILL be disappointed.. Madeline Sheehan is a premier storyteller and deserves so much more than a 5!

I absolutely love this series and Unbeloved was the perfect addition to ...

I absolutely love this series and Unbeloved was the perfect addition to it. This is the story of Dorothy, Jase and Hawk. As twisted and rough as it seems, this is a love triangle for the ages! When Dorothy meets Jase, he is everything that she thought she wanted. Unfortunately, he is married, with children and really had no intention of leaving his wife. While Dorothy is waiting in the wings, Hawk catches more than her eye. Their story isn't perfect, it's painful. “Life was made up of moments, big ones and little, the good and bad, dark and light. We never remembered the gray, the times in between, but instead only the moments that had the ability to transform us in some way, affect us so completely that the memory would be forever etched upon who we were, who we are, and who we would become.” ― Madeline Sheehan, Unbeloved I can't wait for the next book in this series. http://teahoneysbookcafe.blogspot.com/

Loved It!!!!!!

Madeline has done it again!! OMG!! Love this story!!! I will wait as long as it takes for each and every book that Madeline writes! What a roller coaster ride Dorothy went through just to have the love of her life!! She finally realizes that Jase was just what she needed to see what she needed in life and that Hawk was the one she really loved. Is she too late to let Hawk know how much he means to her? When Dorothy finally let’s Jase down and tells him the truth, my heart bled for Jase! It really did although he never did do right by her…or anyone else for that matter. Jase’s decision to change his life was a really tough one. But I hope he finds what he is looking for! I loved this story! Madeline blew my socks off yet again! 5 stars DEFINITELY for this read!! Go and get it!! What are you waiting for???

*****Perfect*****

Madeline Sheehan does it again! This woman seriously rocks!! You are amazing. Your books are amazing. Your characters are amazing. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!!! Unbeloved is the story of Dorothy and her men, Jase and Hawk. Through the first 3 books in this series, we know of Dorothy & Jase’s long-term affair, spanning 17 years. Dorothy was totally in love with Jase and Jase definitely had feelings for her, though it may have been more obsession, possession and lust. Dorothy was officially labeled as a club whore, but she wasn’t. She belonged to Jase and Jase only. I absolutely loved seeing the interactions between all the club members and the old ladies. We got to see a lot of Deuce (yay!!) and Eva, Kami & Cox, Ripper & Danny and of course Cage & Tegen. I especially loved the interactions between Preacher and Deuce!! I wouldn’t mind if Ms. Sheehan took the series farther, with the books about the kids of the Hells Horsemen

Dorothy finds love!

Dorothy is romantic and hopeful but she finds herself pregnant at fifteen and trapped in a loveless marriage by the age of eighteen. Then she meets Jase, a member of the Hell’s Horsemen motorcycle club, and she falls in love. But Jase is married with children and while she's waiting for him to fulfill his promises, another member, Hawk, finds the opportunity to claim her and become part of her life. What follows is a devastating story of love, desperation and forgiveness as Dorothy realizes her own mistakes and makes the decision to claim her future and the man that was always there for her. I loved Dorothy and Hawk but I also understood Jase and his actions. A beautiful story about love's ability to redeem us.

Absolutely wonderful progression of the series!!!

I have read other reviews were people were complaining because this book was not like the first two books. Well of course its not because these characters are not in their 20's and 30's anymore. They have lived through, jail, murders, deaths, drugs, traumas, affairs, broken hearts, broken families, broken dreams, etc. They have grown, matured, learned from mistake, but deep down they are still the hardcore Horsemen foundation. That is what makes this series amazing and like none other. You feel deep down that you truly know these people and you can see yourself crying with them, laughing with them and fighting with them. I love all these characters, even the ones I wanna smack! Just an amazing series. I can not wait for Preacher and ZZ's books. I will totally ball like a baby when this series ends. But it will be totally worth the ride!

Oh my word...that was amazing

I don't cry while reading books. So when I tell you I cried through this whole book you have to understand that it is not something to be taken lightly. I ugly cried and then I cried some more. This book was fantastic. Some are saying this was better then book 1 (Undeniable) but I have to disagree. This book may have climbed the stairs and knocked on the door for that book. But Deuce said nope..your are not coming in and then kept the door locked. Nothing has reached that level. But this book did make it to the the top of the stairs for me. It is a fantastic addition to the Undeniable series. And proves once again to the level of talent Madeline Sheehan has for writing. I highly recommend this series and any of her other books. They are worth every dime you spend on them and then some.

Not what I expected.

All her books are under Romance/Erotica and are usually pretty raw...This was a very light on raw and steam factor. I liked the story of D, Hawk and Jace there was a lot I wanted wrapped up from the other books and you will not be dissapointed. The book was very well written, this has a lot of flash backs to understand how Dolores and Jace met, how she ended up at the club, when Hawk came into the picture ect. This is a book that answers a lot of questions, people figuring out what is important and cleaning up their messes. This book has an emotional draw as you watch these characters find them selves. If you have read her other books and enjoyed them, you will want to read this one too.

Waiting for a doctors appointment would be more interesting....

This series is typically an auto buy for me. I think my jaw hit the ground when I read the first in the series. It was certainly not like anything I had read at that stage. Madeline Sheehan has awesome writing skills and if the story is really strong then you have a lethal combination. A combination that not every reader would be in to, but if you have an open mind it's an enjoyable ride. I was desperate for a good read as everything I have read lately has partly been something I 'have' to read and typically not very good. I have been waiting for this to come out, unfortunately it lacked in some key areas. I really could have stopped reading at any page through the 68% that I did read. Whilst the writing is always good with this Author the layout, story strength and that connected feeling just was not there at all. I felt like it was dotting the i's and crossing the t's. Putting the Dorothy piece of the puzzle in place just because it had to be put in. For me I had no connection with the book whatsoever, there was no feeling that I just had to find out. It lacked interaction/specific conversations between the characters, there was a lot of full paragraphs explaining or describing. I felt like a lot was old text where the events happened in other books but it was like it was filling the gaps, and it happened a lot so much so that I was not sure where I was at. It went backwards and forwards then landed somewhere in the middle for a while. I will continue seeking out Madeline Sheehan's books I just won't finish this one.

Perfect Perfect Perfect

Truly gifted writer! M. Sheehan once again pens a genuine so true-to-life epic tale of a brotherhood of lost souls finding their "place" & living their own way. This book expounds on the consequences of our choices & the effects these choices have on not just us, but those closest to us also. Such h an extremely emotional book as all the characters were developed extensively & brought to life to live with us forever. Gritty, gut-wrenching and sometimes heart-breaking - but also exciting, erotic, uplifting & heartwarming as well. Life lessons are written between the lines of all 4 books in this series. A bit of sadness looms within my soul as our beloved Horsemen & their ladies grow older & wiser, but to reach perfection, change must occur. Madeline has achieved this in her writings. "Hats off" to you, Ms. Sheehan. Your books have touched my heart...

long awaited and hugely anticipated

I feel as if I had waited forever for this book but once I started it I took forever to read it . I love all the books from this series so much but I have to say I was a tiny bit disappointed in this. I felt as if I was reviewing much of yhe other stories and didn't feel a whole lot for Dorothy, Jase , and Hawk. That being said , Madeline Sheehan is such a great writer I STILL loved the book and details . I just wanted more . I would have liked more details on Jase & what happens to him. Less about Hawk being Nomad & jail time and more about Dorothy or even Chrissy. Overall a great read though .

biker book, love, romance and hot alpha men, this story has it all

ok so like most all I love Madeline's books, her biker series is the most realistic, earth shattering, agonizing, soul searching, (I could go on and on.) If you like biker books at all then you have to read this series, but it is not for the faint of heart, it's dirty, nitty gritty and sometimes heartbreaking but so so good. The one thing I really love about this series is that she doesn't just write about the young group, in this series we watch the characters grow up and grow old and to me that makes it so much more real. its good to know that even as we, especially women, get older we can still have loves scenes and hot sex. So kudos to you Madeline for writing a book that didn't end when they turned 30. I can't say enough about how great this series is and I can't wait for the next book :)

Immersed in the Horseman lifestyle....

Madeline Sheehan is truly a genius! Think a series doesn't get better with each book? Think again..... I have fallen in love with each of the men in her stories each and every time I read them (ok, except for Cox!!). I love that a good woman can make a difference in a Horseman's life. And it's not just about the men, the women evolve and love with all their heart but the damn stubborn manly men totally don't get it. But ultimately they do. It sure is hellish, heartbreaking and torrentially damaging how they come together. Her words flow like poetry and I am hanging on each and every word. I will lose sleep just to finish these stories. Immerse yourself in the Horseman lifestyle and get ready for the ride of your life. This is D's, Hawk's and Jase's story with a little bit of ZZ thrown in. And it's damn amazing!

Have tissues ready...you will need them.

This book, like the others, was an emotional roller coaster and I loved every page. I enjoyed the interaction with Jase and his family ( outside the club ). When you hit rock bottom and you think that their is nothing left for you and then you realize that your family is still waiting for you and they are so forgiving. Their is so much I would love to say about this book but it would give a lot away. This is about forgiveness, love, healing and moving on and starting over. I will say that I personally was not expecting Devon, Ivy and ZZ at the end of the book....I have a feeling that it will be one hell of a ride. Ms. Sheehan is an amazing, gritty,honest, in your face and talented author and I am so thankful that she shares her talent with the rest of us. Please read...you will not be sorry.

Madeline Sheehan is the queen of MC Romances!

The book that answers the question of the Hawk, Jase and Dorothy saga. I was a bit stressed about reading this one because Madeline Sheehan doesn't pull any punches when it comes to putting her characters through hell! I knew the painful history Dorothy, Hawk and Jase had, and I was glad that it didn't really rehash all of that. You did get more depth and colour to the relationships and I felt for each of them. However it was always pretty clear to me that I am Team Hawk. What a great read! It was turbulent, sexy, heartbreaking and romantic. You get a glimpse of the future generations of the club and the epilogue provides one hell of a cliffhanger. Boy does Madeline Sheehan know how to write a biker book!

Freakin Fantastic!

This was soooooo different than the others in this series...I absolutely LOVED it! Just as great as the others except with a new kind of vibe. None of it had been a mistake. It had just been my path, my cracked and broken road to home. I didn't know what to expect but I definitely didn't expect a book in this series to make me cry. This one was a beautiful story along with an epilogue to leave you hanging, and I haven't read a good cliffhanger in a while. Not only have I not seen a good cliffhanger in a while, I also haven't been this addicted to a series in quite some time. Gah...I wish ZZ's book was out right NOW! One of my favorite lines: I was a shattered glass, glued back together. And my children, while their wounds had healed, had been cut by my jagged edges.

This read like a very long epilogue

I was expecting a certain level of story from Madeline and she did not deliver with this book. This book was heavy on the flashbacks, was very depressing because of its constant reference to forty being old ( and I am forty this year so I truly didn't appreciate that sentiment) and the sadness that sweet little Dorothy had to wait until the very end both literally and figuratively to get her man. This book had a different flavor than the first three, and I will say I LOVED Undeniable...Deuce and Eva are still my favorites of all. And in fact I enjoyed them in this book immensley, I also enjoyed Cox, Kami, Ripper and Cage a ton in this book. Their personalities were built upon and relationships were continually solidified. I hated the way Tegen was portrayed as a screaming idiot, it wasn't entertaining or flattering to her character, I just wanted her to stop and I was bored reading about her. This was weird and not Madeline best...actually since the publication date was pushed back I thought it would be better. Nope. Be prepared to not be fulfilled by this book, which is a shame because it has history that needs to be read for the next in the series.

Sugar Cookies

Madeline Sheehan's Undeniable series is not your garden variety cookie cutter romance series. You know the ones where the bad boy meets the girl, falls in love, becomes perfect man for said girl, and they ride off into the sunset & live happily ever after together. Yeah, you are not going to get that here. Sure there's a happy ending. In fact there is a whole lot of f'ing happiness, but also there is a whole lot of life as well. Unbeloved reminds us that life goes on, marriages are not always perfect, women do make mistakes, and not all men are perfect gentlemen. Sometimes we have to embrace & accept not only our own faults in life but those of our loved ones too. Even though it's sometimes a harsh reminder that we are mere mortals; it also makes the characters feel more real, more lovable.

Best MC series out there

OK I don't really like to write reviews, but I have to say I loved this book and I really enjoyed it. now what I would like to address are the reviews saying there wasn't enough sex. WTF if you want to read sex, then there are 100's of books where there is no real story line but there's a whole lot of sex. go forth and read. Was this just like the others no but that's a good thing .I like that her characters have aged and grown up. I like reading about Hawk and D. This will be a reread for me and Ms Sheehan is the master when it comes to MC books. please read where she always states this is not a HEA. it is a love story but its ugly. Just like life can be ugly. happy reading and thank you Ms. Sheehan for sharing your stories

If you love this series you will want to read this book....

But it definitely wasn't my favorite ~ I looked forward to a hot romance like Deuce and Ava's but we didn't really get that but the story was good and it was great to see what was happening with the gang. I felt so bad for Dorothy & Hawk I felt like they were just plain punished in life and Christopher too. We may have to wait for Z Z's book for the Deuce/Ava hotness:) Which by the way I wait for with baited breath!! But definitely buy this book so you can keep pace with the series and if you haven't read the others you need to go back and read them:) All the books are worth the money and the time spent reading them!!!

Another UnDeniable Ride!

I loved this book! It was like catching up with old friends. Being able to see things from Dorothy's perspective was eye opening. I've always been interested to know how she felt about her situation and where her heart truly lies, and now I do. Deuce is still larger than life, even at almost sixty. I love how Each book spans several years allowing us to see each couples evolution. UnBeloved made me laugh out loud often (Cade and Tegan/Kami and Cox) and shed a few tears (Hawk, Christopher, Preacher). The book makes reference to a "changing of the guard" so to speak, concluding with an epilogue showing just that and putting the reader on the edge of their seat waiting for what happens next.

Torn!!!

I'm a big fan of the series so naturally I was excited to read this one, but then I saw the reviews coming in and I just didn't want to be disappointed. I don't like giving spoilers so I can say this I liked it but didn't love it. I also don't like knowing Jase' ending I get it was about his kids but I just feel cheated on that part!!! I also felt we truly didn't get a feel of the chemistry between Hawk and Dorothy I felt that was lacking for Madeline Sheehan..That being said she is still my favorite MC author- no one else does it better!!!! I will finish out the series because I am a huge fan...

Amazing amazing amazing

This is my all time favorite MC series. It is hard for me to write a review that will give it any justice to how amazing this book really is without giving spoilers. My heart broke several times in this book I cried and laughed was happy and sad. It was a roller coaster of emotions. I love how the story went back to the beginning and showed us how the whole Jace/Dorthy/Hawk relationship started. The unexpected turns written had me on edge and dying to know what was going to happen but at same time saying oh no don't want to know because I loved all three characters and want them all happy. All I can say is just read it you won't be disappointed. wow the ending what a cliffhanger I am dying to know what is going to happen next.

Not What I Expected!

This book was different than the previous books in the series It was a good story, especially with it being based on redemption and forgiveness. It was nice to finally hear Dorothy' s story and see her get the happy ending she deserved, even if it was the last page of the book at the age of 50 plus. However, one of the things that bothers me when reading a book, is when the author isn't consistent. For example, in one part of the book, it was explained by Dorothy how she met a twenty year-old Eva and at the end of the book, the age changed to twenty-two. Overall, the story was good and one I highly recommend!

Love!

Ms. Sheehan does not disappoint in her latest book of the Undeniable series!! This story tells us more about the love triangle of Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk! The previous books introduced these characters and you get a glimpse of the underlying story, but this is their own story! Closure finally occurs for these 3 characters and things are revealed that you didn't know. This story was really intense and there were several things going on. I loved finally getting to know their story and a little more of their past! If you have been reading this series, then you definitely want to read this. Be warned though, there is a cliffhanger!! It makes me excited for the next book, even though I was absolutely stunned! Definitely worth the read! I could not put it down!

Truly amazing!!

I read this book so fast I had to read it again slower just to get a grasp of my emotions. I have never read a book that is so violent but gives you so much joy at the same time. These men and women are living a hard life but I have never felt so much love. The love they have for each other and for their club. I laughed, I cried had actual heartache at some parts. This is a 10 star book!! Words can not explain how perfectly written this story is. To say I want to jump on the back of a Harley and hit the road is an understatement. I feel completely fulfilled but need more! Never wanting it to end!! Madeline Sheehan you are a rockstar!!! Thank you for this journey you have taken us on!!

Great book. Love the story

Great book. Love the story. But my only problem with the books in this series is Madeline Sheehan jumps time so much in these books it's ridiculous. In four books, I think one character's age span goes from 5 to 45. She jumps ahead like 7 years at a time, sometimes a couple different times in a book, and it's really not all that necessary in every situation. When I start the next book, I have to get my head around where I'm at in it, and what age are the characters at, at that point to follow. But with all said, I do really love the stories in this series.

Let the Best man win..

This series has ruined me for all other MC books!!! I read all sorts of "romance" books... I like angsty...gritty...fluffy love...and books in between :) ! The Undeniable series has been one of my favorites by far!! All of these characters make you fall in love with them... in the beginning it was very hard for me to ...at times these men and these books were just so raw.... and frustrating! wanted to make me throw my kindle across the room..but this was a fantastic conclusion to the love triangle that was Dorothy..Jase..and Hawk! I wont spoil you with the details of who Dorothy picked...but I would say that I loved her choice! I can not wait for Preachers story...and ZZ's! Unbelieve writing in these books...you feel like you are a part of the crazt biker alpha man world :)

Heart Pounding...Tear Jerking...Edge of my Seat... All the emotions I felt while reading this book.

I love this series. It has been such an enjoyable experience to see these characters grow into who they are. But the ending...Talk about heart wrenching cliff hanger. I am so sad to have to wait to see what happens. And how can Preacher have a story when we all ready know the ending. At least with the other books in the series there was some mystery as to what was going to occur. I love the story of Hawk and Dorothy. It was good to see her finally come out on top even though it seems like her life was a real roller coaster. I couldn't imagine a life like that and could only hope for a love that would last that many years and that many trials. Hats off to you Madeline Sheehan for your amazing look into the love life of MCs.

Unbeloved but so much more

This series by Madeline Sheehan is probably my favorite of all the biker books. The author makes you feel like you are part of the biker club you get to know all the characters and feel so passionately about them that you just can't get enough. These books are not just stories for the sake of stories but rather you start with Eva growing up and it progresses through the family as well as with the biker family. Unbeloved centers around biker club members Dorothy, Jase and Wolf, characters you read about in the previous books and now you get to know their personal lives and what happens to them. The author does throw in some funny biker moments and I did have some watery eyes and the end and as I memtioned earlier I'm waiting for the next book in the series

Needed just a bit more 'past'

I hate, loathe and detest not giving this five stars, because her writing is as flawless as the past three books. But I just felt a bit disappointed reading this one. I thought this story would show more of the love triangle that has been a backdrop of the other books, and give us glimpses that were missing before. I wanted to see how Jase finally got Dorothy to give in to him, and I really wanted to experience the first time with Hawk and how their relationship developed. And by not giving me those things, I was lacking a lot of the buildup to D and Hawk finally getting their HEA. If you're a reader hoping for as much angst and drama as the other books, you might be disappointed too. Deuce and Eva remain my favorite, I felt gutted after reading that book, and this one? I just felt a little blah. Now the next one that we got a teaser for? THAT just might be back on the level of the first one. I can't wait to read it.

I liked it and I didn't but that's the books whole point.

This is a dark book which is clearly stated in the description. It takes place over several years and these characters are on some level disturbed. I liked the book and I liked the characters. I also didn't like the book or the characters which is what I think makes this book and this series fascinating yet disturbing all at the same time. Do not read this book if you are easily offended by bad language, violence and sex. If you want a glimpse of MC subculture this is what I would imagine it to be.

Yummy Hawk!

I always knew Dorothy deserved better and boy did Hawk price and right! Their love is epic and grand! This was another diamond in the series. So many things that happened made me incredibly sad but then there was enormous joy also. This was a couple that earned their HEA with blood, sweat and tears. I love them almost as much as Deuce and Eva, or the same or maybe more...aargh! I can't pick I love them all.

DIFFERENT FROM THE REST BUT STILL A GREAT READ!

This book had a totally different tone compared to the other books but it was still very enjoyable. I loved getting to Dorothy, Jase & Hawk in a different level, and I appreciated the fact that Sheehan did not rehash each and every event that has led us to where the main characters are at now. The trio are at an older stage in their lives when this book starts and I found it fitting that Sheehan gave their story a more mature approach when compared to the other books in this series. Like I said, this book is different from the rest of the books in the Undeniable series but if you're a fan of this series and this rowdy group of bikers, Unbeloved will still be a great read.

Love me some Hawk!!

What is there not to love about this book? It fantastic we get our hot bikers drama and a whole lot of sexy! Hawk and D have such a complicated relationship they have a small child together and a brotherhood that just can't seem to stay out of trouble. But Hawk has secrets he would have loved to stay buried and dead but it just doesn't and cause to rock there very worlds with this revelation . We get an inside view of how jase and D relationship began and we finally understand how Hawk came I to the sense. I won't give and spoiler but will say Madeline Sheehan you did a wonderfully job with this story and hot Damn I loved every minute of it

There is one word for this book....

PERFECT! This book was freaking amazing! I mean my God. My heart got ripped out, stepped on, torn to pieces then beautifully put back together with this wonderful storyline. This series has been a tough one for me. It deals with a lot of unpleasant issues that are hard to swallow but it is real! It is amazingly real. The kind of book people relate to. The characters that people wish were in their lives (um one word-Hawk!) People make stupid decisions and ruin their lives. This book shows that people can rise above, fight for what they want, and change their circumstances. The writing of this book was spot on as usual and I loved seeing more of our favorite characters. Madeline Sheehan is a frickin genius! TeamHawk all the way!

A lifetime of Mistakes

This is a great next in the series. YOu must read the first ones first. I hated that I loved Dorothy's misery so much. Don't get me wrong. I love Dorothy, but this one takes you into the rock and hard place she finds herself. She has made lots of mistakes and is tired of waiting for her life to be happy. To begin. She must come to terms with the choices she has made and how they affect those around her. Jase is an ass. Hawk drops in and out. How is she going to get the butterflies in her stomach she wants so badly when she can't forgive herself for her past? Read this book. That is all.

MADELINE SHEEHAN HAS DONE IT AGAIN SUPPLIED ME WITH A BOOK DRUG I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH OF!!!!

Where to start? This book had me crying like a crazy person and it's very hard to reach me like that so I was shocked beyond measures how this book touched me, hawk is the man, he is strong, loyal, sweet and devoted to the horsemen and Dorothy I love hawks character he is just all man, Dorothy had me laughing and crying she truly deserved hawk I'm still smiling at the bathroom seen where she just throws caution to the wind and takes control it was along time coming and she did indeed OWN IT. This series just keeps growing and you find yourself wanting to be apart of the madness that surrounds the horsemen it's one hell of ride I ride I never want to end,

So many MC books out there focus on young characters that end with a happily ever after

I've read my fair share of MC romance novels and It was refreshing to read a book series where the main characters grew older but not necessarily graceful. So many MC books out there focus on young characters that end with a happily ever after, not so with the Undeniable series. The story line in this series follows its characters through the years and tells their stories in a very realistic way. During my life I've been exposed to men who ride with an MC, this series portrayal is pretty accurate of how these men can treat the woman who chose to stay with the club. If you're looking for a romance novel that's gritty and stays pretty close to reality than this is the series for you.

Undeniable, I loved Unbeloved

I have enjoyed Undeniable series from page one of Undeniable. I thought I knew Jase, Dorothy, and Hawk. Boy was I wrong. In Unbeloved they all mature, gaining emotional strength. Unbeloved is a story of coming home. Going home to Vegas for Hawk puts his life in danger, but it will bring him, Dorothy, and Christopher home to the club and each other. Jase will realize that the MC is no longer home. Going home to his real family will allow him to live again, sobering up and giving him the ability to reunite with his daughters. The book shows the importance of family , but it doesn't have to be family by blood.

Have to read!

Madeline Sheehan writes AWESOME MC stories! Unbeloved (book 4 in the Undeniable series) is one of the best ones yet! This is Dorothy's story with Jase and Hawk. It is such an emotionally charged story, you'll need to keep tissues handy. If you haven't read the series, start with book 1, Undeniable and keep reading, otherwise you're missing out! I cannot wait for the next books in this series! The warning given at the beginning of the synopsis is very appropriate: Warning: This is not a conventional or predictable love story. It involves one woman and two men bound by a love so destructive it spans two decades, pitting brother against brother, and shattering the lives of those touched by it.

Love this series

This was not my favorite book in the series but I am devoted to the series. I would rate the complete series of books as a whole with more than 5 stars. I was totally absorbed with the stories and characters. Deuce West is the ultimate sexy alpha biker. I will read any book he is in. I am anxiously awaiting the release of Undying.

WORTH THE WAIT

The wait for this book seemed interminable but, in true Madeline Sheehan fashion, completely worth the wait. My wait for this gem began when I read Unbeautifully and intensified when I read Cage and Tegan's story. Every time this author releases a book I am equal parts ecstatic and depressed. Ecstatic that I get to devour it and depressed that it means I'm gonna have to wait for another. Other reviews have done a synopsis of the plot so I won't do that here. I just want to say that no one writes like Madeline Sheehan and can suck me into a story and make me FEEL the way she does. No matter what the emotion is. Superb !!!!

Liked it!

I admit I was not a huge Undeniable fan - I thouht Deuce was an A@#! But, he has come a long way and I really like the way everyone in the club has matured. I think this is the most well-written book in the series - Sheehan is an excellent writer and has a way of really bringing you into the story. But, I hate to say but I need more smex in my books than this one had. I feel kinda bad seeing the evolution of ZZ and it will be interesting to see what happens next!

Tugs At Your Heart ... And You Want More

I have enjoyed reading the Undeniable series. I will have to say this is my favorite of the bunch. I loved how you got pieces of everyone like you normally get throughout Madeline Sheehan’s book. But what I love the most was just the realness of the situation falling in love is tough and trying to figure out your heart is extremely tough and how Madeline writes out just made me fall in love with all these amazing characters all over again. I’m thrilled to read what is coming up next and take your time Madeline I will not be rushing you, If you rush that means the series will be over too soon … Amazing Work and I Share your wonderful works of writing with everyone….

What's undeniable is that Madeline Sheehan is amazing.

What can I say? Madeline Sheehan is, simply put, amazing. When this released early, I had to sneak reading it at work because there was no way I was waiting to read this. Oh, Jase. Oh, Hawk. I'm not even sure I can choose, I'm pretty sure I went back and forth during the previous books and this one. I don't do spoilers, I will just say how much I have fallen, completely immersed, into this MC world Madeline has created. I am saddened by the thought that it will soon all end, but delighted (hoping!) that we will have some closure when things do finally wrap up. You will not be disappointed in this story. I am looking forward to what comes next...

this book will bring you to your knees!! Madeline Sheehan is a genius

This is a book of eternal love, growth, love lost, love found, forgiveness and the mess in between, and you will love every minute of it. grab your tissues ladies because the beautiful scenes will bring you to your knees!! Madeline Sheehan is a genius and got me lost on words, I'm speechless. #teamhorsemen. I'm so so happy to have the gang together and know even if the time passes Deuce is still the man.. My god! how I love that man. "Reel it in!!!". Warning: A roller coaster of emotions unbeloved, you will get, angry, sad, happy, but overall amazing, this story pulls you in and doesn't let you out.. yow will be part of this series forever.... 5 STARS babe, Yeah?!

Not what I expected

I had preconceived ideas of this book and what Madeleine wrote exceed my expectations. I stayed up all night long as I couldn't put it down. I loved the story of Hawk, Dorothy and Jason. It was a story of redemption, growing old and living life. I wasn't a fan of Dorothy in the previous books but after reading her story I loved her. She continually showed her strength in this book. I was Team Hawk from the past books and this sealed the deal. I'll be re-reading the others as we wait for Preacher and ZZ's strory

Great read!

This is the fourth book in the series and it is about Dorothy, Hawk and of course Jase. I loved this. It wasn't as gritty as the previous books but it was still amazing! I loved Dorothy and Hawk. Their love and chemistry was epic. I am glad they got their happy ending! Jase, I felt bad for him at times but I am glad he turned out ok! Can't wait to read more in this series!

AWESOME!!

This book was AWESOME! This series was a great series. I almost didn't read this book because some of the negative reviews, if I hadn't I would have missed out on a great book. Each one of these books need to be read in order. When you shed tears because of what happens then the author has written a book where you find yourself immersed with the people lives like you are that person. Read this series it is great!

Dorothy, Hawk and Jace's story doesn't disappoint!

This is a brilliantly written series! It is not a series for the faint of heart, it is an honest, sexy, ugly, loving, uncomfortable series of real-life love stories that shouldn't be missed! It's the long overdue story of the love triangle between Dorothy, Hawk and Jace. It has all the characters from the previous stories that we have grown to love, hate and hope to never smell! This is by far one of my favorite series and one of the best MC series ever written! If you enjoy reading MC stories or stories that are more dark and realistic instead of fairy tales then you MUST give this one a try!

Another great chapter of series

I've loved each and every book in the UnDeniable series and this one wasn't one I was looking forward to, but I always knew I would read it. I won't provide any spoilers, but it covers a good span of time, and I really appreciate that the author has shown how the characters become adults/middle aged from the stories when they were in their twenties. As a non-twenty something it's nice to see a range in ages and experiences. It's also fun how Ms. Sheehan weaves in updates/backstory on the other characters throughout each book, even if theirs isn't the primary story being told. Now I can't wait for the next two books.

Hands down queen of mc reads :)

Madeline has a way of grabbing you from the start and not letting go till long after you are finished reading. The undeniable series is my go to books to reread. It is always like coming home when I get to get lost in Deuce's world . Unbeloved did not disappoint it was Awesomesauce. There are very few authors that can make me emotional and Madeline forces you to feel every emotion . Her writing pulls you in and won't let you go. All I can say is ThANK yOU Madeline for the amazingness that is your writing. And to tell all who read hang on this is going to be a wild ride!

... my opinion lives up to the hype surrounding this great series by Madeline Sheehan

This much anticipated book in my opinion lives up to the hype surrounding this great series by Madeline Sheehan. Life is never dull when it comes to life in the Hell's Horsemen MC. Once again there's yelling, shooting, fighting and a whole lot of testosterone floating around Duece West's clubhouse. This story focuses on Dorothy, Hawk and Jase as they struggle with the consequences of the decisions they have made in past. This book is unstoppable and it will crash into you and make you want to beg for more! These bad boys of the Hell's Horsemen have found their way into my heart! And the ending...........DID ......NOT.......SEE......THAT......COMING!!!

Gaaaahhhhh!

Strange title, I know..but I have edited this review several times, and nothing I can possibly say will do Unbeloved or Madeline Sheehan justice. I loved the maturity of this book. I related to the stage of life that Dorothy is in. I loved that she got her HEA..and the boy she picked 😜. I loved that Madeline showed that these big, bad bikers have second thoughts, can show emotions and still be hardcore. The scene involved the older old ladies observing the new old ladies...EPIC! How true to life is that? The teaser for the next book..literally gasped at my desk...I cannot wait for the next book...but I will..very patiently.

Wow!!!!! Just wow.

Being almost thirty it's hard to explain .. but u still feel young, you still see your self young.. you see the one you love as u did the day u fell in love. .. just like your children, even when their twenty they will always be your baby. Madeline captured that hard to explain feeling perfectly. Realistic, hardcore, heartfelt, and just amazing. I adore this series, and every book is a little different, because everyone is a little different, they handle things in different ways. I appreciate that about this series, you feel the characters, see through their eyes. Even if it's the ugly reality, that's life. Loved it. Thank you Madeline!!

Beautiful and Raw!

I love this series! It is so different then all of my other reads with the unlikely love of the biker world. It is not pretty but it is raw and real. Dorothy hasn't had an easy go in life but she feels like the club is her home. She loved Jase and while loving Jase who is a married man she found comfort in Hawk. Then tragedy struck and she left them both with her and Hawks newborn son. Then years later another tragedy struck and her world was turned upside down again. It is a beautiful and loving raw biker story and I can't wait for more!

Wonderful as always

Well, this author has done it once again. We were giving a glimpse into the life of Dorothy, Jade, and Hawk in the previous books but this is finally their story. Finally Dorothy will get the love of her life...who will it be? This was a great story however it wasn't as raw and "dirty" as the previous books and I felt it was a bit slower. Based on the epilogue I CAN NOT wait for the upcoming stories. Well done as always Me Sheehan!

No words!!

Be warned this book to me was so different than the other books. Not bad different just different. My emotions were all over the place while reading this. I was happy, sad, hopeful and nervous. I literally cried the entire last 20% of the book. I'm not going to go in to detail about the book because you should just read it. Holy Epilogue!!! Now I can't wait for ZZ's book,but giant say anything more. I can't give it way. Definite 4.5 stars for me.

EPIC STORY...EPIC SERIES...EPIC AUTHOR

OMG. OMG. OMG. Madeline, girl, you have to be the most talented, most gifted author I have ever read. And believe me, I read ALOT of books!!! This story was so moving, I couldn't stop crying at the end...I was wrecked and then was put back together again by your beautiful writing!!! Hawk, Dorothy and Jase...what amazing redemption for them all. I was so moved. YOU ARE AN AMAZING WRITER...if I could give this book and this series 100 stars, I would. Thank you for taking me on such a beautiful, gut wrenching, tearful and amazing ride. YOU ROCK!!!

Great read and worth the time

Great read and worth the time. Held my interest from start to finish. Great story line, interesting characters, you could feel the love and experience the heat. I wanted more when the book was finished. Sexy and entertaining; I truly enjoyed the book very much. I look forward to reading this author’s other books. Hot and steamy sex scenes, loved the main characters and their relationship, entertaining and the chemistry is on fire! I loved them together both romantically and for the emotional bond that they both shared. Great character development along with story and it all wrapped up well.

you're able to make us readers feel like we are in the books

Girl...I went to bed crying...my husband didn't even ask me why, because he knew I was reaching the end of Unbeloved.... I know it's cliche, but....YOU DID IT AGAIN!!!! Can't even describe what I though about the book, because as always it was phenomenal.... You have a gift, that doesn't compare to anybody else....you're able to make us readers feel like we are in the books....I feel the pain, the love, the horror, the romance deeply in my skin and soul... Congrats baby...your something else... Now I'm here, hyperventilating and lost, waiting for Undeserving and Undying. Five stars is not enough to all the talent you have.

An Okay Read, but not a favourite of this series

I liked this book, however I was disappointed that we didn't get to find out what happened to the other male (trying not to write spoilers here) I hope that we will find out what happens to him in the next couple of books. I Found the book as a whole ok, but definitely not my favourite of this series thus far,however I would recommend it to others who have read the other 3 books that are before this one.

Must Read Novel

As I expected, this book was as powerful as the three before it. This was not a book you could easily put down. The story of Dorothy, Jase and Hawk had to be told. Mix in some of the other members of the club, including that nasty boy ZZ and you have yourself one hell of a novel. Since I didn't get the ending I was expecting, I will patiently wait for ZZ's book as it will have the conclusion I so desperately desire. Until then, Madeline, please keep up the excellent work of writing this series. Your readers appreciate it very much

Would you share?

Book 4 in the Undeniable series. This nook is slightly different the past books in the series. Had me laughing at times, but was also full of heart break. It is sad that the characters are ageing so quickly, but maybe that is needed. Just means we get to learn more about the kids growing up in the club. Watch out for the epilogue. Wow what a powerful lead into the next book.

Oh my god. What did I just read.

That ending? THAT ENDING? I mean- we all know who D ends up with. It was well deserved and I loved it. I can't get enough of the authors writing. I love getting to see what's going on in other people's life as well regardless of the amount of time it's passed. But THAT ENDING? It's not a cliffy or anything it was just THAT GOOD. I can't wait to see what happens next!

You cannot go wrong..

With a madelaine sheehan book. I have read all the books in this series and was never disappointed. This is the continuation of Hawk and Dorothy and the aftermath of her getting shot. A beautiful story of their love and getting together. This story is very sweet, it does not have the usual violence or sex scenes as her other books do, but it is still well written and beautiful. I recommend all the books in the series. You cannot go wrong. I didn't think ZZ would get his story but it looks like it will happen. I feel sorry for Devin.....

Undeniably gut wrenching

I just finished reading this book and like the others in the series it grabs u and won't let go. At times the relationship between Dorothy and her men didn't seem strong enough to carry the book, but I wanted to learn about her and where she would end up. As always I loved reading more about the supporting characters from the previous novels.I have become so attached to all the characters, can't wait for the next book.

Followed suit with books 1-3

Was great to read on those we attached ourselves to in prior books within this series. I feel a bit slighted not experiencing more of Hawk with Dorothy and losing 7 years along some of the others but it's the way or profession and still worth the read.

I cried the entire book!

This book was different for me. Less "biker" related drama and more "relationship" drama. Seeing how the D, Jase, Hawk triangle played out was heartbreaking. And, the remorse I felt for where ZZ has ended up. And I felt so sad for Chrissy and her and Jase's kids. So many things were tied up in this book. Some endings very final but I love the twist in the Epilogue. This series of books is so beautifully written I feel every single emotion. I have waited anxiously for this story and it didn't disappoint. Can't wait for more Madeline!!!! AWESOME, AWESOME AWESOME READ!!!

Didn't feel like the story was whole... I was hoping for more for Hawk, Jase & Dorothy's love story!

First and foremost I LOVE THIS SERIES AND AUTHOR!! She has drawn me into this gritty in your face story. So this is hard for me to write this....it feels like this story was a rushed,non completed after thought. Hawk, Dorothy & Jase deserved so much more!!! Stop reading if you don't want to read spoilers!!!!!!......... Seven years of Hawks life was given up for what? How did ZZ or Yenny find out who Hawk really was? Where was their love story? Jase's story was starting to go somewhere the bam it was over. Dorothy's story was nonexistent! I really hope preacher's and ZZ's story add to this one! It was the first of the series that fell short!!

She got her happy ending. !!!!!

I absolutely loved this book and if anyone deserved a happy ending it was Hawk and D. The twists and turns kept me turning the pages and a few unexpected surprises. I was caught off guard completely, I never saw some of the story line coming which was a great thing. Although you left me hanging saying some explicit words to you...... It was a great read and well worth it. Bravo on another great story.

More emotional than her usual grit

This book had a different feel for me with having read all the previous books from this series. It wasn't as gritty and raw as scenes at the club have been in the past. It felt more emotional in the telling of the story between Jase, Hawk, and the woman caught between, Dorothy. I really enjoyed this book. It was a nice change of pace but I still enjoy the grit *wink* 4 solid stars!!!!

Not a favorite

I had a problem with these three. They have all caused their own problems and then could not face them. Dorothy is a weak minded woman with poor self esteem who can never get her priorities right. Jase is a self-centered, gratification seeking, man-child who used charm to get him through everything and the first time encounters a roadblock he can't handle it. Hawk is a closed off, emotionally stunted man who placed self-preservation over claiming what he wanted for the most part. I really had a problem liking any of them or caring what happened to any of them. This is one of my favorite series and authors but this was not one of my favorite books.

Absolutely amazing.

This is the 4th book in the series and is just as good as the others. As with all of Madeline's books I find myself at a loss for words when I finish reading them. I sit there and stare at that last word as if magically more words will appear. This book was amazing. It pulled me in right from the beginning and left me in a mess of emotions after I was done. I'm still completely shocked and emotionally drained from reading Unbeloved. I will now sit patiently and wait for the next book.

Great Series - Gritty & Hot

I like to write reviews but I like to keep them simple and not tell you the whole story in my review…so here it is, would I tell my two best friends to read this book yes or no…YES, I would most definitely tell them to read Unbeloved (Undeniable Book 4)! I read over 100 books in 2013, from Bikers, Military Ops and Serial Killers to Shifters, Vamps and Fairies…I don’t discriminate as long as there is a sexiness, mystery and a story line that keeps me up past my bedtime! I’ll try anything! I wish you good reading!

getting increasingly brilliant

I am so in love with these characters that there isn't a book in this series that I don't love. Finally Dorothy sees Jase for what he is. I am so happy with the way this story happened. I am waiting for Preacher and ZZ. I am ecstatic that Eva has taken Dorothy under her wing and stood by her as a friend. This is another book that reminded me that Madeline Sheehan is a brilliant writer who leads us on an incredible ride.

A-MAZ-ING!!!!!!!

I have loved this series from the beginning but this book is by far my favorite!!!! Madeline's writing is absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time. I'm so blown away by all the feelings I had through throughout this book!! I went into this book eager to hear Dorothy's story but I feel like Madeline takes you a whole fantastic journey and I got waaaay more then I bargained for. So many questions were answered and of course I have some new questions and needless to say I cannot wait for the next book in this series!!

Disappointed :(

This is one of my favorite series, and while I've absolutely LOVED the previous books; I was really disappointed in Unbeloved. While it was well written like the first three books, this one was just kind of blah; and really lacked excitement. The very few sex scenes it had, weren't detailed or hot like in the previous books, making this one read more like a sensual level romance, and not an erotic romance. (Granted; this was kind of due to one character's "situation" in the story, but felt that "situation" shouldn't have gone on for almost the whole book) Also thought Jase's role in the book was kind of swept under a rug, and could have been better. 3 Stars

Amazing as always!

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING, wait did I say AMAZING???? I laughed, I cried, like really cried, big fat ugly tears. This series is my absolute favorite and this book did not disappoint. I love the story of Jase, Hawk and Dorothy. Duece is my man. He gets better and better with each book. Just an all around good person. Cox and Ripper's antics still make me crack up. Jase is written exactly how I pictured him to be in the other books and Hawk is a much more complex guy than I imagined. Can not wait for the rest of this series!

I love this series, it keeps getting better with every new book

I’ve never read such amazing, well written stories. UnDeniable series is a roller coaster ride of emotions. With every book in this series I could not put it down. I just could not stop reading it. This author pushes the limits in every book and leaves you breathless. The UnDeniable series is a must read. It is one of my favorite series out there. The only thing I was a little upset with is we never got to find out more about Jase, reuniting with his daughters. Other than that I absolutely loved this book.

... numerous 5 star reviews and I am so very disappointed. I can not believe so many people love ...

I purchased this book based on the numerous 5 star reviews and I am so very disappointed. I can not believe so many people love this book. *Details of the book are in this review* The lead female character Dorothy was completely depressing. She began cheating on her husband who didn't pay her any attention and made her feel like dirt, with a married man named Jason. She left her husband and ruined her relationships with her family and friends because she was in love with Jason, aka Jase. He made up many excuses why he couldn't leave his wife. This went on for 17 freaking years while her REMAINED married with children. What? Then while drunk she has what she thought was a one night stand with Hawk, but soon the develop a long standing secret affair which last 13 years. Secret because Jase and Hawk are brothers in a biker gang and this is frowned upon. Even though Hawk takes care of her and treats her how she should be treated. She is shot but the wife of Jase and then the story is rushed. it is then fast forwarded 7 years and you can't really feel anything for any of the characters because you never see the pain they went thru because of the situation. To make matters worse when Dorothy finally thinks she can be with the love of her life he is taken away for years. Just awful!

Madeline Sheehan is THE master!

You ever buy a book and then it take you a day to make yourself start said book because you're so nervous of how it will play out? This was that book for me, I honestly didn't know where I wanted Sheehan to take this story. Masterpiece doesn't really do justice to explain this series but that's exactly how I explain it to whomever will listen. We are taken on Dorthy, Hawk and Jaces' journey, heartbreak, forgiveness and ultimately HEA (sort of)! Have no doubt that this series will be at the very top of your favorites!

Down and Dirty

4.5/5 stars I love a good down and dirty motorcycle club book, and again, Madeline Sheehan brings the dirty. Though not as sexually charged as the other three in the series, UnBeloved continues the story of the Hell's Horseman MC and tells the history between the love triangle between Jase, Dorothy, and Hawk. As they figure out how to move forward together — or not — more of the MC's story develops. If you've loved the other three UnDeniable series books, you'll want to catch up with the characters and all of their dirty relationships.

Undeniable

Damn it! You can't finish a book with an epilogue like that!! This series has really sucked me right into the world of the Hells Horsemen. Really enjoying the stories of these men and women. This one i found rather emotional, even shed a tear. Now can not wait for the next in the series to see where this epilogue has the story going next.

I always enjoy this series.

I usually LOVE the books in this series. I did LIKE this book a lot, I just didn't love it. I loved hearing about all the other characters and I can't wait to see how Ms. Sheehan pulls off redeeming ZZ! It was a good book and I always love reading any book in this series. Maybe not 5 star, but a 4.5! :)

Worth the wait

This is the book I have been so excited to read. Madeline Sheehan outdid herself. It was well written, emotional and filled with angst. My kind of book. Have to love an author who loves her fans, delivers on her promises, and early at that. This story filled in a lot of blanks with the Undeniable characters I have grown to love. Well written and full of side stories, it had me on the edge of my seat. I look forward to the next book, because this series just keeps getting better. Thank you Madeline!

wowzerz

Where do I start... man this series is unforgettable! I was shaking when I one-clicked it when I saw Mrs. Sheehan released it early. I have to say she is my all time favorite author. Wowzerz, I loved the book and I'm glad we got to finally see the point of view of Dorothy and Hawk played out, along with everyone else's continued. I love where the series is going I think Mrs. Sheehan should make a novella of Kami and Cox lol. Bravo I can't wait for the next 2installments whoa especially ZZ's .

Took me 4 days to finish :(

Not my favorite from the Undeniable series. I was sorely disappointed that the book did not have the angst level of book 1 and 3. I wanted a knock down drag out fight for Dorothy, I wanted both men to pay for what happened previously and it just didn't happen. Part of the reason I fell in love with this series is because Madeline Sheehan goes outside the acceptable box. She gives you the nitty gritty and doesn't give a sh*t who likes it or not. I felt this book was way too inside that box, kinda like someone told her to tame it down and make it more of a love story.

I didn’t think I would enjoy this book as much as the others but I ...

I didn’t think I would enjoy this book as much as the others but I was pleasantly surprised. The book is told in the present with flashbacks from Dorothy, Hawk and Jase. Only an amazing author can give everyone involved in a love triangle closure to their relationship that still keeps readers happy. Loved how the story played out for these characters!

she made a good choice

I loved Dorothy and Hawk but poor Jase was a little on the sad side! I guess you reap what you sow (and all that jazz). I hated to see Cox cheat on Kami but I guess that's what happens when you hold out the goodies on a big ass biker dude like him! I hope Jase finds some peace - same for D and Hawk.

Possibly my favorite so far

I had worried that this would mostly be flashbacks, but I was proven wrong! Madeline has outdone herself with UnBeloved!! This is my favorite book in the series and I am totally happy with how it ended for everyone. I laughed and cried and almost threw my kindle. I stayed up until 2am to finish it in one go because I could not put it down! The epilogue will leave you wanting more but I feel it will be worth the wait! 5 HUGE STARS to my favorite book so far this year!

Loved it but a bit rushed

I cannot brag enough about how much I loved the undeniable series.. Every single book in this series is just awesome on its own level!! Well done Madeline, another great book accomplished! In saying that.... I can't help but feel that this book just felt a bit rushed, don't get me wrong I still loved the book dearly and was happy of each characters development and the paths they all took... I don't know, I guess I'm just greedy and wanted more lol... Now I'm reading undeniable all over again *sigh*

This is one of the best series of books I have read in a long ...

This is one of the best series of books I have read in a long time! I wait anxiously for each new addition. Even though Dorothy's story was not my favorite story it was still well written just like all the other books and has me waiting for the next in the series! I love reading anout the MC and it's inner workings! So many great characters and personalities to pick from! Madeline can keep us reading for many years to come!

Another Madeline Sheehan Masterpiece

Madeline has a way with words that consumes you so entirely that you feel like you *are* the characters in the book. While it was great to read Dorothy, Jase & Hawk's story, it was also great to catch up with some of my favourite characters from the previous books. UnBeloved was well written in Madeline's signature style with witty one-liners, emotional turmoil and a rawness that is unique to her. I thoroughly enjoyed UnBeloved and I'm so looking forward to the next two books in the series.

Very meh installment...

I have a love/hate with this series. There are elements that really frustrate me (including some editing-related issues), but there are parts of the story that are so engaging (not on the whole). That said, I feel like I was expecting a little bit more from this story. We already know about the Dorothy/Jase affair, and part of Hawk's inclusion in that situation. Some of the reveals were good, and I was happy with the direction that the characters took. Part of me wanted Dorothy to have more...something. Seeing things from Chrissy's side was a good move, as well, but that, too, somehow fell short. It was missing depth. Even past characters felt a little flat to me. Any series that becomes so polarizing has to have some crazy amazing element (some people will love it, others won't). This installment felt...blah. I didn't love it or hate it. In fact, it wasn't very memorable. :0/

Great

Still a great series. BUT WHEN IS D NEXT BOOK!!! I had doubts about reading this story cuz I knew it would be no romance well not in d fairy tale since. A raw biker romance a lot of should of's but didn't. Had me laughing n crying. Can't wait for d next installment.

Best Book Yet

I have now read all of the Undeniable Series. I bought this through Amazon on the day of release. Totally not a mistake. I loved this book with continuing arc of not only the H/h, but all of the other people that are in this series. Before I read this book I went back and read the previous books and I'm glad I did, all of the books gave a really good feel for this love? triangle. Had a few surprises I didn't see coming. Happy Reading.

Unbelievable

I love this MC series! The characters are unforgettable! I found myself picking up right where we left off! I love this story of Dorothy, Hawk and Jase and I'm glad to see Dorothy getting the love that she deserves and finding strength in herself, because the men in Hell's Horseman are something to and they all need a strong woman behind them along for the ride! The next 2 are going to be crazy and can't wait for them to come out! You rock Madeline Sheehan

Another great book in the series!!!!

There are not the right words to put down in this review that can express how much I loved this book. I loved how Madeline made sure to bring all the characters into play and not just focus on Hawk, Jase, and Dorothy. After reading the epilogue I cannot wait for ZZ's story. I have all these ideas in my head and I really want to know if what I am thinking will happen. Most definitely recommend. My all time favorite series.

Madeline Sheehan has done it again!!

Madeline Sheehan has done it again. Another great story about my favorite MC. I was nervous when I read the description for this book because love triangles are always messy and must be handled carefully. She did a great job of showing us how Dorothy, Jace and Hawk all fit together and played their roles to bring us to an ending I was pleased with. Warning on the epilogue - it's a huge cliffhanger!! Anxiously waiting for the next two books in this series.

Couldn't get into this book

I just couldn't get into this book. I put it down several times and finally made myself finish but I skipped through a lot of pages. Not sure I will read the next one. The last 2 just weren't my thing, it's like they are now just living or telling the story from the characters past and very little from the current. I think I will move on to another series.

2nd best to the 1st book

This was an amazing book. I love how the author seamlessly incorporated all the previous characters from this series. It was funny, emotional, and I couldn't put my kindle down it just kept me reeling. I only gave it four stars because there's a major cliffhanger. Which at great for making my want to read the next book but I hate waiting.

Unbeloved

Wow...such twist and turns in this book. I am emotional drained. I sobbed when Hawk went away for a while. Hated that they didn't catch us up on Jase as well.. Man wonder what will happen to Ivy... Man such a cliffhanger!!! Hope next book comes out quickly. Can't wait to read more in this series. I recommend this book and the author.

Can't get enough of these books! Another re-read and it's like reading for the first time! Lots of romance and thrills!! One beck of a ride!! A must re as d!!

Can not get enough of Madeline Sheehan!! This series is awesome! Another reread for me and I still get excited to read them! One beck of a ride!! Excellent writing and author!!

5 *UNDENIABLE* Stars!!

Yet another amazing installment from Madeline Sheehan. This had me gripped from the beginning, the fact that this story spanned years added real depth. Dorothy was so strong, but she just didn't realise it. Hawk and Jase have shaped her and it is time for everyone's true feelings and strengths to be revealed. Great story with heart felt ups and downs. Yes I ugly cried - this story broke my heart but remade it as well. A great read that has left me desperate for Undying,

Just as good as the rest of the series

This must be the most anticipated book ever! It definately didn't disappoint. I love how the author doesn't magically make problems disappear, there is never a mystical solution that makes everything conveniently perfect. Even though the characters are raw and sometimes should be unlikeable, you cannot help but be invested in them and want them to have their happy ever after. Now I begin my vigil watching for the next book. I read that Preachers is the next book, but I am dying for ZZ's story.

a must read!

I have been waiting for this story for what feels like forever. It was so worth the wait! If you love this series as much as me you have to read this story. Just bee sure to keep some tissue nearby cuz ur gonna need it. There was the part towards the end that was more realistic than traditional romance stories that was tough but still love the story. Can't say that I'm looking forward to Preachers story and definitely not ZZs story but we'll see.

Good one.

So this was a good one, not quite what I was expecting but still good. I feel kinda jipped on the angsty part of this triangle, but at the same time I'm kinda glad that I didn't have to reread the whole ordeal. And really, the ending, really? Way to leave me hanging, waiting for more. Can't wait for Preachers book.
