A first kiss that changed everything.
Killian Kane.
He was the most feared guy in high-school.
Guarded. Angry. A fighter.
But when I caught him watching me with his captivating green eyes I saw something more. Something protective and kind.
He warned me to stay away from him.
I did.
Until I didn’t and he kissed me. A knee weakening, body tingling kiss that left me breathless.
And scared the hell out of me.
And then…
He warned me never to come near him again or next time he wouldn’t let me go.
That was eleven years ago.
We aren’t teenagers anymore. He has probably forgotten me.
He’s a famous rock star now. I’m a dance instructor with a broken dream and desperate for a job.
So, when we cross paths again I don’t expect him to remember me.
He does.
And his warning eleven years ago? I’m about to find out exactly what that meant.
Renee’s 5 Star Review:
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Kept From you is the fourth book in Nashonda Rose’s Tear Assunder Series. It can be read as a standalone. However my question to you is why would you not want to read each and every one? This series is amazing and one of my all time favorites. The men in this band and each of their women are not to be missed.
I am so thankful we got Kites story. I’ve also found him fascinating. Especially after the last book. I just had to know ore about the guy who had ropes tied to his bed and different women in it. It was so worth the wait to get his story. He’s exactly what I thought he would be and so much more. Killian aka Kite has a past. One that is equal parts devastating and tragic. He, as a teenager, was the champion of all the bullied kids and drugs were not allowed anywhere near his high school. He made sure of it. In high school he spotted Savannah aka Savvy Grady. She was a little afraid of Killian but she also believes that everyone has good bits in them and she saw Killian’s. With a deceased father and drug addicted mother, Savvy hasn’t had an easy life either. The attraction to Killian though is real and he feels the same way but neither will admit it. Tragedy strikes, a kiss happens, a warning is made, an orchid is given and eleven years pass. Neither of these two has ever forgotten the other and now Savvy needs a favor from Killian. A favor that will lead to both of their lives never being the same again.
Oh how hard can one girl fall for Kite. I think I said lucky Savvy about a million times while reading this book. Killian is strong and fierce in protecting those he loves and Savvy learns real quick it does you no good to fight Kite on it. He may be a famous rock star, but he’s the same Killian Savvy knew in high school only more toned down in his rage. Both are afraid to fall in love but Killian is equally afraid of his secrets and the damage they might do to Savvy. I love a good second chance romance. Kept From You however is so much more than a second chance romance. It’s a first love that never died. It proof that some things in life are so worth fighting for. It was an emotional read for me. I was so invested in these characters that I could feel their emotions pouring off the pages.
Once again Nashonda Rose has written a book you will read from front to back and not want to put it down. You also will not want it to end. I’m so sad when a story that captures my heart has to end. However I know I’ll get to experience more Kite and Savvy when the next book comes in the form of Trevor’s story. You do not want to miss this book. Or, like I said before this entire series. Nashonda Rose pours her heart and soul out in these stories and captures you from word one. Her writing style is one I love and I have yet to read a book she’s written that I didn’t love. Now go as fast as you can and one click this book. You do not want to miss it.

Kept from You is the fourth book in the Tear Asunder series, but it can be read as a standalone.
Killian aka “Kite” met the beautiful and spirited Savannah aka “Savvy” while they were both in high school. They were completely opposite. Kite was a loner who unbeknownst to her watches Savvy dance every morning before school. You see Kite carries a lot of baggage. His father’s favorite past time is mentally abusing Kite. As a result, he carries a lot of anger around with him, and the one way he finds peace is by watching Savvy dance.
Savvy is a quiet and reserved young woman. Much like Kite, her home life is far from perfect. She lost her dad to cancer, and her mother turned into a junkie. Savvy is one of those rare souls who can find the good in anyone, and her passion and escape from life is dancing.
Tragedy strikes, and Savvy finds herself in the foster care system bouncing from home to home. She has one memory that can get her through the hardest day and that is her first kiss. It was with Kite, and she will never forget it. Fast forward eleven years. Savvy is in desperate need of a job, and she seeks Kite out hoping he will put in a good word for her with the hiring manager. (She has no idea that Kite is a silent partner in the club Savvy wants to dance for. ) Killian tells her absolutely not. He refuses to let her work in the club. Well, Savvy isn’t one to give up easy, so she devises a plan to get the bosses to notice her, and boy do they! Killian informs her that she can take the job at the club but it will only be temporary. Not because he thinks she can’t dance, but because he plans to make her his woman, and no woman of his is going to dance for anyone but him.
The process of building a relationship turns out to be a little more difficult than either one of them first thought. They each have trust issues , and the last thing that either one of them want to do is expose their vulnerabilities. However, their feelings for one another are stronger than ever before, and that insane chemistry still sizzles between them. Is it possible for them to overcome their past hurts and open their hearts to one another?
I fell hard for Kite and Savvy. Kite was a big bad alpha male with the sweetest heart ever! His love for Savvy was that once in a lifetime love. All he wanted was to love and protect her. Then there is Savvy. She was a complete doll who believes that everyone deserves to be loved. If ever two people were made for one another, it was these two. They truly were two parts of the same soul. I am beyond excited to read the next book in this series which is going to be Trevor’s story. Another great book, Nashoda Rose!!
