A friends-to-lovers second-chance romance from USA Today & WSJ bestseller Siobhan Davis. Stand-alone with HEA and no cliff-hanger.

Lana
I knew it would end in disaster, but I didn’t listen to reason. I didn’t care. Because I loved him so much.
Kalvin Kennedy ruled my heart.
Until he destroyed it.
Shattered it so completely that I became someone else. Someone I loathed. Someone who repeatedly lied to her loved ones.
So, I ran.
From him. From myself. Desperate to hide my new reality.
But I could only run so far.
When he reappears in my life, I’m terrified.
Unbelievably scared of facing the consequences of my actions.
Never mind that I still love him and want him so badly—there’s too much at stake now.
How can I trust him with the biggest secret of all when he’s likely to rip my world apart again?

Kalvin
Lana was always far too good for me.
Everyone knew it but her.
I tried to stay away, but I was weak. And I hurt her.
Crushed her until she barely resembled herself. Forced her to follow a path she would never have willingly chosen.
And then she was gone.
And my world has never felt as empty, as lonely.
She begged me to stay away. Not to find her. To forget she ever existed.
But that’s like asking me to slice my heart in two and toss half aside.
I’ve never believed in fate, but when I rock up to the University of Florida, I’m ready to eat my words.
Because she’s here. Like I hoped she would be. And I’m determined to prove I deserve a second chance.

This book, like its predecessors, contains a controversial subject which, on this occasion, relates to something Lana did to Kal previously that some readers might find unforgivable. If you don't enjoy being stretched out of your comfort zone, I recommend you skip this book.

“If you love someone, really love someone, you stand by them, even when they’ve screwed up. Especially then. You forgive them for their mistakes”
― Siobhan Davis, Loving Kalvin

This is such a beautiful romance. Yes there is drama and there is angst, but in my opinion that just made the romance that much more romantic. And lordy, can Siobhan Davis write some beautiful romance!! She also wrote some great hot and heavy scenes too!

Kalvin and Lana are soulmates.

Definition of Soulmate in the Urban Dictionary:
A person with whom you have an immediate connection the moment you meet -- a connection so strong that you are drawn to them in a way you have never experienced before. As this connection develops over time, you experience a love so deep, strong and complex, that you begin to doubt that you have ever truly loved anyone prior. Your soulmate understands and connects with you in every way and on every level, which brings a sense of peace, calmness and happiness when you are around them. And when you are not around them, you are all that much more aware of the harshness of life, and how bonding with another person in this way is the most significant and satisfying thing you will experience in your lifetime. You are also all that much aware of the beauty in life, because you have been given a great gift and will always be thankful.

This is what Kalvin and Lana have had since they were children and it grew stronger as they got older, until Kalvin's mother put a stop to them seeing each other. But that connection was still there, even when they tried to fight it. They hurt each other many times. It was just about killing them. Now in Loving Kalvin they are in college. Actually Lana went to University of Florida and Kalvin went there, thinking that's where she went, and he wanted to find her and win back her love. He knew they belonged together and was willing to try whatever it took to get her back.

Lana feels she's undeserving of Kalvin's love. She's made some pretty horrible mistakes and hurt Kalvin very badly. Even though he says he forgives her, she just cannot forgive herself. It doesn't help that she still isn't being totally honest with him and is holding back important information from him. The guilt is eating her up and making her feel unworthy of his love.

The whole story is so heartwarming and the lesson of forgiveness is a big one. I loved this book so much! Every single page!! We even got some glimpses of my favorite Kennedy, Kyler, and Faye, and the family! Yay!! I totally recommend this book, in fact I recommend that you NOT MISS IT!!!

Let me start off by saying The Kennedy Boys Series is one I am obsessed with and I love Siobhan Davis (follow her religiously). I have been so excited for this book to come out. With the previous books, I could see the relationship between Kal and Lana grow. So when it fell apart I was excited to see how it was put together. This story for me started off strong, and I was anxious to see it all play out. When the bombs dropped, I was left disappointed. I had hoped the story between Kal and Lana would be one for the ages, because they deserved it. After all the betrayals from the previous books between them, I was shocked that the lies continued into this book. I wanted more for them. I knew they needed to learn to forgive each other, trust each other and truly love one another, but I felt it could have been done without hiding Hewson ((love the name)). Also, could have done without the story Shelby brought up. Shelby and Chase are drama, I knew something was up with them, but it could have been dramatic without another "rape" situation. I loved the beginning and the ending of this book so much. I can't wait for Brad's story and the book about the family's trip to come out. This book is worth reading to continue the series. The writing is amazing, I was just hoping for a better path for Kal and Lana, they deserved it. I also need Faye and Ky to hurry up and get engaged!!

Goodness gracious Siobhan does it again- makes me love a couple more than the previous AND look forward to the next one!

Kalvin and Lana have a love story most couldn’t come back from..the drama, angst and emotions are a whirlwind! A story about forgiveness and perseverance along with throwing that middle finger to what everyone else thinks FOR THE WIN!

I read it in a little over 24 hours if that tells you anything! Read beginning with book 1- you don’t want to miss any back story!
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2017
I read a complimentary advance copy of this book which I have voluntarily reviewed. (and Ive brought a copy too because i know ill re read it again.) 

Kalvin is and always has been my favorite of the Kennedy boys. He is caring and incredibly forgiving, he simply loves Lana and is willing to forgive her with what she had done and how much heart ache she caused. Though Lana came clean in the previous Kennedy book (Keeping Kyler), that Kalvin hadn't hurt her as her allegations had suggested, that didn't leave Kalvin unscathed from the people who still believed he did. Kalvin does what he can to search for Lana, but Lana has other ideas. 

Lana made the ultimate worst mistake a girl can accusing Kalvin of rape, but her secrets hadn't stopped there, Lana has more to hide. Lana tried to resist communication with Kalvin, she knew her secrets would hurt them both, but if she could pretend things were ok for a bit then tell him she might be happy for a while as he would surely hate her after he finds out. As time went on we began to see how things were for Lana after the trial. Though i was incredibly mad at her for making those allegations, forgiveness is something we tend to not give anymore and that in itself is sad. I was really happy reading that Kalvin had forgiven her for it. But her secrets caused more heart ache for him than he could have imagined. I felt his heartbroken moments when he learned all her secrets. The moment when he chose the answer to this, Could he live without being with her? sent a feeling through me. Pride. Although many tears shed throughout the book, its perfect and its my favorite

Reading with both Kalvin and Lana's POV made the book what it is. 
Drama, lies, secrets, hope, love, sadness, comedy, twists.... it has it all!!
<3 <3

Looking forward to Saving Brad,The Kennedy Boys # 5, and The Irish Getaway, The Kennedy Boys #3.5

Such a bittersweet story! The bitter part was how Lana and Kalvin came to be apart, of course. But then, the story takes on a sweet spin as they find each other again and something totally awesome that neither had expected. Kalvin melted my heart for this one!!
Hannah Murray
5.0 out of 5 stars A story of truth and redemption
Reviewed in Australia on February 20, 2024
I love how Siobhan tackles grey issues. This story deals with the aftermath of Kalvin and Lana’s troubles in the first few books. Kalvin is determined to find Lana, the only girl he’s ever loved. Lana is hiding, trying to give Kalvin the freedom she feels he deserves after her false accusation. She struggles with guilt and the knowledge that the lies she has told - all of them - have had a major impact on their lives. Kalvin doesn’t have any idea just how much things are about to change.

The story deals with forgiveness (of others and yourself), honesty, guilt, depression and living with the judgement and prejudice of others. But for all the heavy issues in the book, Siobhan has also filled the story with love, humour and light hearted moments. It’s a wonderful story that holds up really well on a reread.

Took me a while to get into this book but once I did I really enjoyed it. I’m still not a huge fan of Lana and don’t think I ever will be. If your big believer in forgiveness this book is for you, if you believe in holding a grudge I recommend not reading it.
