Title: UnBeloved
Author: Madeline Sheehan
Series: UnDeniable
Release Date: June 23rd 2014
Synopsis
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.
Carrying on two secret affairs is no easy feat. As Dorothy tries to dig herself out of the mess she’s created, covering one mistake with another, tragedy strikes, nearly costing Dorothy her life and that of her unborn son.
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.
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.

Review
Well. Here we are, four books later, I finally got to read about my
favorite Horseman and all-around, #1 BBF. I won't lie and say I loved
it, the book I mean. In fact, I hated the first 30% or so. I also hated
Dorothy and Jace. In the first three books, I disliked them both,
especially Dorothy. They were selfish and still are, even in this part.
So I felt absolutely nothing when I read about Dorothy's oh-woe-is-me
act or about how pathetic Jace has become. Plus, he'd lost it all. His
wife and kids. Dorothy. So, he had it coming, really. Wanting it all and
thinking it would last. Right. Not really.
Too little, too late. That saying goes for Dorothy. She too was selfish, thinking about herself. She was weak and stupid, I'm sorry but there is no other word for it, thinking and believing that Jace will really give up the comfortable life he had for her. Isn't it a written rule that that shit ain't gonna happen? Everybody knows that. Hell, every other character knew that, but not Dorothy. Hopeless romantic, to put it nicely. And then she messed around with Hawk. Nope, no love-lost between Dorothy and I. Not a fan of hers. In fact, I could even say that Dorothy is like a modern Helen of Troy. And I hated her too.
But.
Hawk loved her. Boy, did he! So, I begrudgingly accepted that she makes him happy. Of course, it doesn't come easy and it took time. Too much if you ask me. I hated the fact that Hawk was pretty much the scapegoat in all of this, collateral damage, throughout the years but in the end, it all worked out. And James 'Hawk' Young still has it, even at 50+ years, the goddamn sexy mofo.
I guess the book did the trick. I felt strongly about it. Hated the first 30%, as I stated above and put it down, almost not finishing it. Almost. But then I thought, he's Hawk and he's my #1 and I've waited so long, of course I'm gonna be a trooper and finish it. And well, I'm not sorry. And it's all thanks to Hawk. No one else.
I was surprised that Deuce made me laugh a few times. Yeah, after UnAttainable, couldn't really stand him.
So 4.5 stars. Why, when I hated quite a few things about it? One word. Hawk. He trumps every single thing I hated about it.
