ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 22, 2016
Every girl in Galveston County knows about Zeke Declan’s rules and has agreed to them or is considering them.
Rule #1 Don’t call him. He’ll call you.
Rule #2 He doesn’t date.
Rule #3 No sleepovers.
Rule #4 Absolutely, no virgins.
When a couple friends talk me into going back to their hometown in the Bayou for the summer and challenge me to break “the best damn lay in Galveston County” along with every single one of his ridiculous rules, I’m confident that I can get the job done. I’m no stranger to men. I have five older brothers. I’m a teacher and I’m used to being around rebellious teenagers. However, Zeke Declan is definitely not someone that I could have prepared for. He’s not a testosterone-fueled, immature boy. He’s a confident, arousing, playful, and mind-melting man. But, behind that sexy charming smile, I know he’s hiding a secret. And, in order to break him, I’m going to need to find out what it is.

REVIEW: ZEKE is the third and final installment in Kelly Gendron’s contemporary, adult BREAKING THE DECLAN BROTHERS erotic, romance series focusing on MMA fighters and bar owners Jax, Slate, and Zeke Declan from the Bayou Vista /Galveston County Texas. This is MMA fighter and bar co-owner Zeke Declan, and high school Manhattan English teacher Lurlene Kane’s story. ZEKE can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order as the events in ZEKE run parallel to the events in JAX and SLATE (books 1 & 2).
Along with her best friends Emmie and Rayna, Lurlene has come to the Texas Bayou for a summer vacation and with it the friends have focused their time and seduction on the three Declan Brothers. Rayna and Emmie have a history with two of the Declan Brothers, and these two friends are determined to ‘break’ the boys for sins of the past. Lurlene has been set up to ‘break’ Zeke Declan, but Zeke has already been broken by a dark and deadly past.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Zeke and Lurlene) ZEKE follows Lurlene a ‘virginal’ high school English teacher who sets about seducing Zeke Declan. Zeke has a set of rules that all women must follow and Lurlene intends to break everyone. What ensues is the push and pull of attraction and need, and Lurlene’s attempts to stop the demons that are intent on destroying what’s left of Zeke’s soul. A few nights with Zeke uncovers the truth about Zeke’s past, and the guilt that weighs heavily on his shoulders and mind.
ZEKE is a bit of an emotional story line with issues of trust, betrayal, vengeance and guilt. Zeke is a man who believes he is not worthy of love, and Lurlene is a woman out to prove that everyone deserves love and a happily ever after. There is plenty of anxious moments and sexual tension. The $ex scenes are intense, erotic and provocative.
With the appearance of Lurlene comes her brother-boxer Token Kane -and the introduction to Kelly Gendron’s new spin off series-DARING THE KANE BROTHERS-Token, Steel, Nix, Stone and Crash. Token’s story is expected sometime in 2016.
ZEKE wraps up the Declan Brothers and reveals what happened to the family years before-the murders, the fire, the unnecessary guilt of a young boy, and the struggle to survive in a world of hurt and shame. The premise is fast paced and revealing; the characters are heartbreaking and energetic; the happily ever after is a welcome expectation. Sexy men, sexy stories, sexy happily ever afters.
