He becomes overwhelmed with trying to win her back, before she falls for that one person that he’s certain will break her heart even worse than he’s already done.

This was a total mess. I couldn't believe I've just read it. It's traumatizing! Another dnf for me, but I skimmed until the end and I've read enough to know that it got even worse! There's no story involved here. It's not even erotica. No! No! It's just a totally messed up book! They're all shallow people that only minded their own itches. They're all hoes! That sounded harsh, but it's true! Oh, it's SO TRUE...

Was SO looking forward to this book..(after reading Book 1) as soon as I saw it was out, I got it right away..I'm not quite done with the book yet (@63% through) and as much as I hate to even write these words...This isn't her best work..Want to give it a 2 star..but just can't stomach it..so 3 will have to do (for hopes that it gets better) .I love Jennifer Foor's books..think I may have even referred to her as a genius a time or two... But Replace Me is ALL over the place..nobody's sure what they want..things are so back and forth I think I have whiplash...except maybe Joey (he seems to know what he wants).and at this point (won't write spoilers..ugggg)...I almost want to throw my phone (kindle app) across the room and forget about these people ..DO ME A FAVOR..If this is your first read of Mrs Foor's, go read some of her other stuff PLEASE... Don't let this book set your opinion...or if you liked it ..great..keep reading more of her great work!!! .....Finished it..and will not be reading Joey's novella..he was the only one that seemed like he had it together, therefore I don't feel like I need to read a book about his point of view.. I would however read more about Ash/Shayne..that seemed to conclude overnight..so some insight would be nice!!

I just love everyone of Jennifer's books, and this one is no exception. Lacey was so upset about Sgayne, and Joey came into the picture, so sexy, cocky and turning on the sex appeal like crazy.... so much lkke Ford did with Sky. He was all bravado, but when Lacey told a white lie that she was with him to Shayne to make him go, he played aling, but then called her on it. She decided to give in to him, and use him for sex to get over Shayne, but right from the beginning it was more to both of them. Joey was sexy but he was gentle and loving, but Lacey listened to others that said joey was just a player and couldn't change..... but he did. They started hanging out more together and when Lacey said that he was just playing her, he shiwed her the difference.... how he screwed other girls, and how he was with her, then she got it.

Shayne did such a number on Lacey regsrding trust issues, she couldnt believe that Joey would be faithful and she wanted closure from Shayne, and to be sure she didn't love him, she had sex with him..... and she felt it, it wasn't the same, and she wanted Joey. They broke up, he moved to Italy, she realized she loved him, went to italy to get him, and before he said he would do anything for her she left because she didn't think he would choose her. Stupid girl! He came home to her and they got together.

Parallel story with Ashley and Shayne, Ashley is preggers with twins, Parker signed away parental rights and Shayne realized that he loves Ash and the babies, and wants a life eith them.


Great story, can't wait for more!

I really could have cared less about Shayne in this book my focus was mainly on Joey and Lacey. Joey that cocky beast, "it don't matter where they've been. All that matters is where they will be. Just give it some time to sink it. I guarantee I'll have you screamin' my name. They always do." Lacey and Joey have some chemistry, "I pointed to the teepee in his pants. "Are you planning on icing that down?" And the more we read about Joey the more and more we learned that behind his bada** persona he's really caring, "Joey kissed my shoulder and let his jaw sit there. "I hate hearin' you cry." And when his woman does something that he appreciates he shows her in kind, "you flew here to be with me, Lacey. I need you naked, so we can eff, because I'm tired of picturin' it in my head. I need to have the real thing." I think Shayne and Ashley's story is next and well I just didn't like either of those characters so I'm not sure how my feelings will go.

0% Next up - Im going to try and get this series off my series started shelf as I think its been finished a while now :) Its been ages since I read the first one so im going to go read my review to hopefully refresh my memory! :D Hopefully I'll be able to start it tomorrow :

5% I ran my hands over my face and thought about the last time I’d partied with my siblings. My brother had knocked up my cousins ex and everything went to shit from there.
Im kind of starting to remember what happened in the first book :)

7% Stay away from that one. You think Shayne’s bad, well, he’s worse!” It was enough of a warning to let me know that I shouldn’t think twice. “Don’t worry about that. There’s no way I’d ever be with someone like him
Hahaha Joey is very cocky but im looking forward to seeing more of him :) also liking the relationship between him and ford :)

11% It was fantastic
Hmmm i didnt really like that :/ i dont mind threesomes but only when the story is about the 3 people falling in love :/

16% In order to protect my brother, I was digging myself into a deeper hole with my father. I feared that this couldn’t possibly end well
I dont think it will either :/ though i like that shane cares so much about his little brother and is trying to protect him! :)

17% My entire future had changed in the blink of an eye
Oh shayne - your father is wrong! you are a good man n you just want to protect your family! Im starting to like shayne i think?? Tbh im not really connecting with this book atm and am having to force myself to read it :/ i also keep looking at the clock which is never good :(

18% I didn’t get how he was still being such a dick. I refused to say anything more to him
Joey is really cocky - it can be hot sometimes but atm its coming across dickish! I dont really like him atm - i dno if its coz we dont have his pov?! Im just not feeling this book atm im hoping it picks up soon!

20% There were so many times that I wanted to turn around, instead of having to look into Lacey’s eyes
Im slowly starting to like shane - im warming to him :) hes just trying to protect his family :)

24% As heart wrenching as it was, I knew I had to walk away from Lacey. Our time together was over and I needed to learn to be a better person, who was responsible for his actions and decisions. I needed to be able to stand by something or someone and feel what it was like to have them trust me again.
Oh shane :( im intrigued to see where this is going - im still not fully invested in these characters but i am interested in seeing what happens :)

26% This soft side of Joey was his deep dark secret and it was helping me cope. I didn’t want some kind of revenge sex to try to make me feel better. I wanted a friend to help me see that I was going to get through this. Unbeknownst to me, Joey was being that friend
Aww joey! So he can be sweet - i hope we see more of this side of him :)

30% What do you want me to say, Lace? You want me to beg you to stay? You want me to tell you all the reasons that you should end up in my bed tonight instead of his, because I’m not goin’ to do that.” The more salty he acted, the more it made me want him. Shayne was waiting for me and all I could think about was feeling Joey’s kisses all over me again. Just imagining them made a rush of heat form between my legs
Really lacey? Im not really connecting to lacey - i get shes confused coz shes confusing me her thoughts are all over the place - but come on this is kinda ridiculous :/

31% Patience is a virtue.” He crossed his arms and leaned on the doorframe. “It’s goin’ to happen, so I’m not worried about waiting. Your head is too messed up today
Okay Im starting to like joey - hes definitley right about lacey needing to sort her head out! Shes really hard to like atm - i hope she sorts herself out soon!!!

32% I could feel the bile rising to my throat. Why had she asked me that? Was it really important? “Of course not.” The lie lingered on my lips. I knew it was wrong, but telling her the truth would of sent her right back to Joey
-_- -_- Seriously shane?! I get that you dont want to lose her but lying is what got you in this position in the first fucking place! -_-

36% The more I got around you, the more I realized you were different. I’d never seen someone that made my dick hard with just a smile. Those deep dimples of yours make me fuckin’ crazy. When you’re sad, I find myself carin’ and wantin’ to make you forget. It scares the shit out of me knowin’ that I can’t fuck you, because I know I’d get lost in you, Lacey. I’m too damn stubborn to do it to myself. I’m happy where I am in life. I don’t want complicated
Oh joey! I might actually come to love you if you carry on like this!

39% Our intense connection was scary and that meant that when we came down off of the high, we’d created a mess that neither of us knew how to handle. His tough facade wasn’t in this bedroom. This man I was with was someone else completely and I wanted to know everything about him
Im intrigued to see where they go from here I suppose though they've still not won me over completely - im just finding it hard to connect atm - i dont know if its me or the book :/ this almost never happens to me! :(

43% He looked confused and even hurt. “What did I do?
Oh joey :/ i know sky n ford are trying to help lacey but all theyre doing is messing things up :( listen to him lacey i know you both don't have a good track record but joey is not shayne :/ i do feel sorry for lacey as well here as i can understand why shes doubtful and has trust issues :(

46% I didn’t understand how someone that was supposed to have so many women at his beck and call would be trying so hard to get me to talk to him
Because your different for him - he's told you that lacey! Listen to what he"s saying and what his actions are saying rather than other people who dont know what happened!!

49% Im slowly getting into this abit more I think However Im gonna put it down for a bit. Ive had a really stressful day and lifes just stressful atm so I want to lose myself in a book so Im going to reread the next cut and run book and come back to it :) Im hoping Ill enjoy it better then as Ill hopefully be in a better mood :D as Im also craving more Ty and Zane which isnt fair or Joey and Lacey and Shane :)

50% I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be an asshole. I’m just so fuckin’ pissed you’d walk away after that night. Was I just imaginin’ that there’s somethin’ between us?” It was undeniable. “No. I feel it too.” He kissed the top of my head. “Lacey, I’m no good at bein’ a boyfriend and I know you need time, but I can’t let you walk away from this
Oh joey! I do like you - and honestly though you were an ass i think it was the only way to show lacey! :) im hoping now that i took a break from this book im in a better mood to enjoy it :) *fingers crossed*

51% I’d been cheated on and knew that, had I satisfied my partner, he never would have strayed. Pleasing Joey became my top priority and I wasn’t giving this man a chance to question my abilities
Oh lacey! Its not your fault shane cheated :(

53% I wanted this life with Lacey and I was going to do whatever it took to get her back. I had something that Joey didn’t. I still had her heart
.... i really dont know if i like shayne or not?! Im leaning towards yes haha :) i wonder how this is gonna go down haha

55% You’re different. I want you here, because I like being with you. Your picture belongs on nightstands and wallets, not hidden in drawers
yeah its official I like Joey - I don't love him (I might later I dno?) but I definitely like him a lot and hope he gets his hea with Lacey (who I think I like haha) :)

57% She didn't understand what it was like seeing her so happy when my heart was crumbling
Why because of Joey or Shayne? Im a bit confused I don't get Lacey tbh - I just don't feel connected :/ I like joey as I said before but Lacey confuses me I think I like her but then she'll say or do something that annoys me :/ The break didn't really help me connect, this book just seems to be dragging on - maybe because I'm not really that invested :( I will finish though coz i kind of want to know what happens n i cant not finish a book haha :)

58% I bit down on my lip and whispered, "never", while glaring into those light hazel-brown eyes
Im so confused - Lacey constantly seems to be going back and forth with absolutely no warning or reason?!? I really don't get this book - I hope it gets better and that the rest of the series is better otherwise it's gonna take me ages to get through it ... :(

59% You did and it was sexy as hell
Id never thought Id say this but Im feeling like theirs to much sex in this book ... I think it might be something to do with the fact that that's all Joey and Lacey seem to do?!

61% She’d given me the green light and I knew I had one last chance to win her back. “Yes, I promise
............ -_- -_- Ive never had so much trouble trying to get to the end of a book! I usually always connect and just take things at face value - I understand why people make the decisions they do even if I don't agree BUT I just cant here! Theres been the odd moment with Joey and Shayne where I like them but Lacey just... there are no words! I get shes confused but I dont understand her thought process or her reasoning - its not explained well at all!

63% I’d hurt another person, leaving him torn and confused. I knew I couldn’t do this again. Both of these men needed to leave me alone. I was done with this drama, the worrying and the pain. I was done with it all
..... I didn't like her comparing them yet still carrying on knowing it wasn't what she wanted - surely if she truly cared about Joey (still having thoughts about him) she would've stopped even if she knew it'd hurt Shayne.... :/ Im really not enjoying this! :(

68% I felt like saying goodbye to Joey was harder than breaking up with Shayne. For the life of me, I couldn’t understand how sex with the man had left me with feelings that I couldn’t explain. My heart ached for him to reach out to me
I get that Laceys made bad decisions and it probably is best for her to walk away from them both at least for a while but she doesn't even seem to get that she was wrong to sleep with Shayne?! I get that she wanted to say goodbye for good but there are other ways - in a way she also led Shayne on by giving him hope! :/ I also might not be connecting that well because we don't have Joey POV in this one. I know its up next but its not here so I dno if its hard to connect coz of that??

68% The longer I was away from Joey, the more I knew that my feelings for him had grown into something more. The worst part about it, was knowing that he’d never feel the same way about me
I'm glad she's realised who she loves (hopefully she wont change her mind again!)

69% You’re my only friend. I can’t talk to anyone else. You know my secrets. Somehow, you always do. I know for a while you hated me, but I appreciate everything you’re doing. I don’t know where I’d be without you
I think I might like Ash (and Shayne) - I know their books coming up so I'm intrigued about that I'm hoping it'll be good :)

70% I think he lied. We’re talking about a guy that did everything for his mother. What else could make him want to leave everything behind? Something had to happen.” I thought about Joey being so far away. My heart was breaking all over again and I couldn’t even picture never being able to see him. I’d been foolish to not come around. “If that’s the truth, then I made him leave.” “You did tell him you slept with Shayne. Maybe that’s what set him over the edge.” She told me like it was and I valued that in our friendship, but at the very moment I wanted to slap my best friend. I was in agony and needed to find answers, not be lectured
I love that Sky can see something else going on :) Im intrigued to see Joeys POV on all this - Im also looking forward to Shayne and Ashleys story! :) while this book hasn't been good for me, Im hoping the rest of the series might be :) Im slowly but surely making my way through this book haha

71% We’ve been seein’ each other for a month
Im intrigued? I know Peyton gets a book :) Although I've been struggling with this one - I have hope for the others in the series :) I am intrigued by the story in this but I just have a slight problem understanding the characters and their actions sometimes - it just doesn't seem to be explained very well or enough for me to get why they're doing what they are... :/ Lacey especially seems all over the place and I wish there was more/clearer explanation about what shes thinking and why shes doing what she is - if that makes any sense?

72% “What’s gotten into you, Shayne. You hate Joey.” “You’re right. I don’t like him. But, I care about Lacey
Okay I officially like Shayne! I hope he gets his HEA soon (with Ashley :D)

76% His eyes were watery and I could tell he was emotional. This was a side of him that I’d never seen
Oh poor joey! :'(

77% “Woman, you make me crazy!” He put both of his hands through his hair. “Why would I want to be with any other women, when all I want is you? Don’t you get it? I’m crazy for you, Lacey. I drink beer to forget you and pass out dreamin’ about you. You think I wanted to let myself feel this way? Damn it, I’ve gone my whole life without carin’ and the first time I open my heart, it gets torn to shit
Oh joey! :) im looking forward to getting your pov :)

81% The twins were going to be spoiled and contrary to what everyone said, I could see Ashley changing before my eyes. She was going to be a good mother and I’d make sure of it, whether or not they were really my kids
Surprisingly im actually enjoying seeing more of shayne and Ashley :)

82% It seemed as if we were doomed before ever having a chance at a real relationship
:( i do feel sorry for lacey and joey becaise i do like them but my hearts not really in it - im not that invested in them :/ i feel like their whole relationship is just sex we havent really seen them do much else - theyve had a few deep converstions but all they do is have sex.... :/

88% I’d never felt so depressed and alone. My heart had been so full of love and excitement just days ago
I do feel bad for lacey she had the best intentions but I just wish she'd have gone about it differently :( im glad theres a companion novella in joeys pov :)

89% Why rip out my heart on purpose. Did I hurt you? Did I do something that I’m unaware of? Just talk to me
Oh joey! :'( i feel for lacey but i wish she'd just fucking communicate with joey instead of running! :/

92% It didn’t hurt any less
Oh shayne! I dno when it happened but i really really like him especially when hes with ashley! Im looking forward to his book :)

93% She smacked me hard on the arm. “Stop being a stupid bitch! He’s poured his heart out to you and you keep walking away from it. Lacey, you’re the one who is to blame for all of this. You’re the one making your life miserable. This man, the one that wrote this note, is crazy about you.” I shook my head, still in denial that I could ever be happy. “It’s just too late
Tell her sky! She neds to realise that shes the only one that stopping her from being happy! :/

95% “How could I let this happen?” Lacey laughed at me. “You don’t let it happen, you fool. Love catches you by surprise when you least expect it
Awww Shayne! I don't now how but I think Im definitely starting to fall in love with him and Im really looking forward to his story! :D

96% He shook his head and rubbed my cheeks with his thumbs. We stood there, staring into each other’s eyes. “I came all this way to chase this girl. You see, I don’t chase women, but this one slipped away from me. She thought she was doin’ the right thing, I suppose. She didn’t get that I would have done anything to keep her with me. She didn’t understand that my future was nothin’ without her in it
JOEY!! Okay I think Ive finally fallen for Joey haha its only took nearly the whole book haha

98% You’re the first woman that I never wanted to sleep with. Bein’ with you was never about gettin’ you into bed. That’s when I knew it was real. I wanted to be with you, without ever kissin’ you. It’s not about sex or playin’ head games. I want somethin’ with you that I’ve never shared with anyone else. I’ve seen you at your worst and still thought you were gorgeous. I get that we promised it would never happen between us, but it did anyway. I want a chance, Ash. Just give me a chance
Okay I officially love Shayne!! And I also really like Ashley! <3

98% Our story was just starting out. We had a lot of explaining to do, but for now, we weren’t leaving this bed, or each other’s arms
Im so looking forward to their book! :D <3

100% The End
Okay Ive finally finished - its took me a while. I eventually fell in love with Joey and Shayne - it took like 95% of the book! I am looking forward to Shayne and Ashleys book and Im intrigued to get Joeys POV but Joey and Lacey just didn't really work for me. I just couldn't get passed the thought that theyre whole relationship seemed to be about sex - that's all we really got from them except Lacey running away all the time and being confused. I don't know if it was my mood or what but the last 10% or so seemed better for some reason - I think it may have been because we saw more Shayne and Ashley haha Overall Im gonna give it 2 stars but I am intrigued and am looking forward to the rest of the series Im hopefully itll be better :)

I have to say that this one had me on the edge of my seat at times wondering who’s going to be with who but I knew from reading Mitchell family series how it was going to end lol just saying I saw it coming…

Book two picked up pretty much where one left off but this one was about Lacey who’s Sky’s BFF and her tiring to find her heart she has to choose between Shayne and Joey who are both related to Ford through marriage. It’s weird but a good weird. In this one we also get a lot more from Ashley. First off it you haven’t read book one you may not want to read book two until after you have.

Shayne and Lacey have broken up dude to the whole lying to Ford and Sky about who Ashley’s baby is really for. . Lacey is heartbroken, she could see a future with Shanye she wanted to be with him since she was in high school then to finally get him and find out it’s not worth it, that they guy you’ve loved for most of your life is a liar and cheater. . So to say that she’s a mess would be putting it lightly. She goes to spend some time with her BFF Sky to get away from everything only running into another one of Fords cocky ass cousins and she hates him from the start. Even though he is hot as hell. To top all that off he moved next door to Sky so if she wanted to see her BFF she would have to see him also.

Shayne didn't realize what he had until it was gone, what he wants is Lacey and he will stop at nothing to try and win her back. And he was going to fight for her. He just didn’t bank on Joey to be in his way. Shayne sucked at relationships but when it came to his family he was ride or die. He had their backs at any cost just ask his brother or even Ashley. I really didn’t want to like him I really didn’t but he was so much like Ty from Mitchell’s I couldn’t help it.

Lacey is really trying hard to put herself first for once in her life, she is going to concentrate on and her future, she has enrolled back in college and her broken heart is slowly starting to mend. She has sworn off men, all men, all they do is break your heart. Well that is until she meets Joey.

Joey is known around town as a playboy who doesn't do relationships. He has never had a girlfriend and will be the first person to tell you that he doesn’t want one. But with Lacey he’s different he wants to be a better person without even knowing it after a few short days he has fallen for her.
Lacey makes things difficulty for herself if you ask me. She loved both men but in totally different ways with Joey her heart skipped a beat when he was near she got the butterflies from just a kiss the very things that she was missing with Shayne. Now did she love Shayne yes of course but I think it was more on a friend leave that a lover level. And I can see their friendship growing into something stronger if they can just leave each other and move on.

I really don’t want to say much more, but this one was even better that one with the love tringal and all but what’s a book without a good who’s she going to end up with. Shanye , Joey and Lacey are going to take you on one hell of a roller coaster ride you will not want to get off, there are twist and turns you won't see coming. Once you start this book you won't want to put it down.

I can't wait to read Reform Me, Joey's novella I kept waiting on chapters from him in this one but they never came but I just know that his book is going to be just as amazing bad boy finding love.

**ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review**

Well I am going to say it again....Jenn Foor did it again!!!! I loved this story. I will admit I was nervous going into this book because of the synopsis and knowing that it was a love triangle. I will tell you that it is not your typical love triangle. I can't expand on that because it would spoil this story and I don't want to do that because you need to experience this book without any help. I am not a fan of triangles but I have to say this one just worked. This story couldn't really be told without it being the way it is. Shayne and Lacey wouldn't be the characters they are without the story being told the way it was. As usual Jennifer evoked alot of emotions out of me while I was reading this book. I will say that, to me, this book was different from her other books. Just how she told this story it made it different. It was like we got 2 stories for the price of 1. You will understand that more once you read this book. I will say that one thing that was completely different for me was that there wasn't a character that I really hated. Jennifer is known for creating those female characters that you just have to hate but in this book there really wasn't one of those for me. If I was angry with anyone during this story it was Lacey. I wanted to smack her a couple of times for some of the decisions she made throughout the book. This book kept me intrigued all the way through. I love how Jenn's books just draw you in and keep hold until the very end.

We met Shayne and Lacey in book 1 Repair Me ( Sky and Ford's Story ). This book starts off pretty much where that book ended. To say that this book was a rollercoaster of emotions between Shayne and Lacey would be an understatement. There were so many ups and downs with them, that you really don't know who to root for in the beginning. In this book we also see Ashley again ( Ford's Ex ) and we are introduced to Joey ( Ford's Cousin on his Mom's side ) I have to say I feel in love with Joey right from the start. There was just something about his cocky attitude and dirty mouth that sucked me in. I will say that for a while I was torn as to how I wanted this story to end and who I wanted to see Lacey with. As the story unfolds there was a clear winner for me. I was completely happy with how this story ended. I am not going to tell you who Lacey ends up with, you will just have to read the book to find out. I will say that the ending to this book took me by surprise. I really didn't see it ending the way it did on all accounts. I will say that I loved who Shayne turned out to be in the end of this book. His character made a complete 180. I liked Lacey also but like I said earlier she aggravated me some in this book, because she made some stupid decisions in my opinion.

I loved that we got to see more of Sky and Ford, although I would've liked to see more of Ford, since I absolutely fell in love with him in his book ;) It was great getting updates as to what is happening with them since their book.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is a Jenn Foor Fan. You don't want to miss this one. I can't wait to see where she takes this series and what surprises she has in store for us :)

I absolutely loved this book, Jenn Foor's writing is addictive once you start you don't want to put the book down and you cant wait to see what she comes up with next.
Replace Me is book 2 in the Kin Series, if you loved Repair Me you are going to love Replace Me.
Replace me is Shayne and Lacy's story. (Shayne is Ford's cousin and Lacey is Sky's best friend).

We pick up where we left off at the end of Repair Me, Shayne and Lacey have broken up. Lacey is heart broken, she could see a future with Shanye she wanted a future with him, he had captured her heart a long time ago. Shayne didn't realise what he had until it was gone, what he wants is Lacey and he will stop at nothing to try and win her back. What Shayne didn't envisage was Sky and Fords new neighbour Joey, who is also Ford's cousin.

Lacey is putting herself first for once, she is going to concentrate on and her future, she has enrolled back in college and her broken heart is slowly starting to mend. She has sworn off men, all men, all they do is break your heart. Well that is until she meets Joey.

Joey is known around town as a playboy who doesn't do relationships. When Lacey meets Joey for the first time the banter between the two is electric. Joey can't take his eyes off Lacey, he is a hot cocky man who always gets what he wants and what he wants is Lacey.

The love triangle between Shanye, Lacey and Joey is going to pull you every which way. Shanye doesn't give up and Joey sees something different in Lacey, he doesn't do relationships but Lacey is different and worth fighting for.

I hope you are ready because Shanye and Lacey are going to take you on one hell of a roller coaster ride you will not want to get off, there are twist and turns you won't see coming. Once you start this book you won't want to put it down.

I loved the banter between Lacey and Joey and finally the friendship that Lacey and Shayne were developing. There's is so much more I would love to say about this book but I would only end up spoiling it for you. I am loving the Kin series so far and can't wait to read Reform Me, Joey's novella

Let me get this straight. I really liked the first book, a lot. I loved Jennifer Foor and I loved her writing. I really wanted to like this book too. I tried to redeem the book in my eyes a hundred times over. But, I couldn't because this book was a joke. Because it was in Shayne and Lacey's viewpoint any person would assume that they would get together but they didn't. They tried to get back with each other but both of them realized they were not right for each other and fell in love with other people. That was all fine and it added a twist to the book which I liked. Maybe if the story was the same and the way she wrote it was different I might have actually liked the characters. I did not connect with Lacey. I thought she was being stupid the entire book and making the guys chase after her. She was always the one crying even though she was the one who broke it off with the guys all the time. As her best friend Sky pointed out ( I still love her btw ) she was being selfish and inconsiderate for anybody else's feelings. Shayne on the other hand was a jerk yes and he did things that were questionable. However, he did redeem himself somewhat by the end of the book for what he did for Ashley and his brother Parker. Parker was a jerk! He was the golden boy of the family but, an absolute jerk! I couldn't stand him and the way he would not accept that he had children and let his brother take the blame. Joey was hot! He made me swoon throughout the entire book and I mean wow! He is a piece of work. After all that I still didn't get the feelings I wanted to get out of this book so I am giving it three stars

Love this series and cast of characters. Wow these cousins are hot!! This book gave me anxiety throughout the whole book. It was like a tennis match going back and forth. Shayne, Joey, Joey, Shanye, I wanted to go to the end of the book and read the last chapter to calm the angst but I didn't. I waited it out, couldn't put the book down. The bedroom scenes where very hot!!. The story picks up right from Repair Me. Lacey breaks up with Shayne for keeping Ashley's secret from Ford and Sky. She can't trust him but is miserable without him until Joey comes into the picture. Joey Ford's cousin on his dad's side moves into the apartment next to Ford and Sky, Lacey who becomes their weekend visitor can't help but notice him. He is a hottie with a man whore reputation. He helps make Shayne jealous one night by saying he is with Lacey, he thinks he doesn't do relationships but he is falling for Lacey. Shayne wants Lacey back but has a big problem, he told everyone he is the father of Ash's baby when his brother Parker is the father. Ashley moves in with Shayne and they develope a great friendship. I really enjoyed this story, I loved to see Ford and Sky, would have loved more of them, they are a favorite couple of mine. Joey's POV is next, but with a cast of cousins Im hoping for Jaime and Peyton's story and then Parker's story, how will he react to Shayne realization, oh the possibilites.

Replace Me begins with Shayne trying to get Lacey back. We know from Repair Me that Shayne wasn't faithful, so that combined with Ashley's drama was the last straw for Lacey. Replace Me is told from both Shayne and Lacey's povs. From Shayne's pov we know he isn't trying all that hard to get Lacey back. That boy is a mess. He's so sloppy. All of the indiscriminate sex is gross and during one encounter he wouldn't have worn a condom if the chick he was with didn't hand him one. So yeah, sloppy.

I liked Lacey okay at first. She was heartbroken and started spending a lot of time at Sky and Ford's place. Here she meets Ford's next door neighbor, Joey, who is also Ford's cousin. He's Shayne's cousin too. Seems like a very incestuous community. Everybody between the ages of eighteen and thirty are banging each other. Anyway, Lacey and Joey begin spending time together. I liked Joey. I'm looking forward to his pov.

In the end I liked Joey and Lacey's outcome but Lacey was horrible to Joey in the meantime. Why can't these people just be single until they get their shit straight?

Shayne's outcome left me scratching my head. He was pining over Lacey in between his one-nighters then all of a sudden BAM! he's with her. And what the hell happened with poor Megan?

I don't know why I keep punishing myself but I will be reading Restore Me. C'mon Joey don't let me down.

One broken heart, send in the replacements... Great continuation of the Kin series. We get to keep caught up with Ford and Sky, as well as learn what comes next for Shayne and Lacey. I even cared about Ashley... Jennifer has a knack of getting you to like a previous books villain. And now a bit about the book...

Lacey's heart is broken. Shayne not only cheated on her, but now he was telling everyone Ashley was pregnant with his kid. How could he do this to her? Why does she always pick the wrong guy? To keep her mind off Shayne, she had started spending time at Sky and Ford's on the weekend. However, her heart couldn't take listening to them all night long. She stepped out of the apartment only to run into Joey. Ford's cousin, newest neighbor, and resident bad boy. She knew she should go back inside, but what the heck... As Lacey gets closer to Joey, Shayne and Ashley have moved in together... You'll never guess what happens next... Give this book a try and meet the newest bad boy!

Favorite passages:
- I crossed my hands over my chest. "Staring isn't going to get in anywhere near my underwear." He looked over to make sure they weren't coming back into the room. "You can keep your panties in your dresser. There's no reason to wear them around me.
- "When it happens, and it will be happenin', I won't be the one askin' for it. Now, do you want a ride or not?"

OMG I have another Jennifer Foor favorite to add to my list. I loved this book as much as I loved the first one. Replace Me is book 2 of Ms. Foor’s Kin Series and is based on Shayne and Lacey’s story. I am so happy that I didn’t have to wait too long for this book to come out since I really enjoyed book one and fell in love with all the characters. I can’t even begin to describe the story line as a love triangle because it’s much more than that. I don’t do spoilers so I won’t give anything away but I will say, prepare yourself for an emotional rollercoaster that will produce more than one happily ever after. I am a big fan of this author and love the way she writes in all of her books. All of the character language is always portrayed realistically so you find every scenario and situation believable. This book has edge and an extreme amount of hotness and sexiness in it. This was a fantastic, easy read and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Woah! That was an exhausting read, but in the best of ways. Lots and lots and lots of emotions and carrying on...and lovin. Angsty, twang-ridden lovin!

Here is the deal with me and Jennifer Foor books...she writes such depth to her characters that I can handle all of the push/pull, miscommunication and angst rebellion that I can't normally handle in a book. Like Replace Me. There were like 6 different times I would have thrown other books on the DNF shelf, but because Foor is this amazing writer; I was able to plow right through all of the roller coaster highs and lows with these characters because I understood their mistrust, their hesitance and self esteem issues because when Foor writes a character; she goes all in.

Loved it!

Im just going to go ahead and say this but Lacey made me SOOOOOOO mad throught out this whole book. Like she annoyed me to the point i wanted to put it down. NOw dont get me wrong i love her still but her and those insecurities gotta go. I felt so bad for Joey cause you could see he was trying but then she would go off on one of her little issues.
Shayne i still feel sorta sorry for him. I understand his hangups on Lacey and i see how amazing it is that he would cover for his brother like that. I totally didnt see him falling in love with Ash Im so glad i didnt read ahead for that i loved that suprise. Excited to read there story now. Shayne deserves the HEA so does Ash even though i hated her thoughout most of the series

Holy whip last, batman. I haven't read a book of Jennifer Foor's that I wasn't in love with but this one put me through the ringer. I couldn't hate it but I'm not a personal fan of love triangles to begin with...but wow. Then Shayne...Okay so I thought in the end he was going one direction...only to end up in a completely different direction, or was that a 3rd direction? Seriously, I need some Ben Gay for my neck.

Still love the series but this one wasn't my fav. Wish it was.

I enjoyed the story however some grammatical errors really bugged me. As well as one place where Joey and Lacey are referenced and it is supposed to be Ford and Sky. (Chapter 17). I had to read it a dozen times to figure it out.

Like many other lower-star reviews, I am a HUGE Jenn Foor fan and LOVED Repair Me, however this book didn't quite hit the mark. There was way too many cousins (married in or not)sleeping with each other. There has got to be more people in this town for these guys to hook up with.

Read Repair Me before reading this review as it will spoil the first book. Book one left off with Shayne knowing who the real father of Ashley's baby was the whole time she messed with Ford's head. This knowledge pissed off Ford and of course pissed off Lacey, Shayne's girlfriend. Well, she thought they were exclusive, but he didn't and played around a bit while they were together. Now that she is gone, he realized what he has lost.

Now Lacey that and Shayne are broken up, in walks in Ford's cousin Joey and let the confusion begin. Joey is Ford's cousin, not Shayne's, Shayne and Ford are cousins, so Joey and Shayne are not actually related, however still have to see each other at family functions. Get all of that?

So as much as Lacey does not want to like Joey because he is a bigger player than Shayne, things work out a different way and he ends up (ah hum) comforting her. So now we have Joey and Lacey, Shayne still wanting Lacey but living with Ashley and some new chick Megan. I felt that Megan didn't fit into the story anywhere and if the next book is about them I will scream.

I really didn't like Lacey's character this time around. She was way to wishy-washy and caused more trouble than she needed too. Yes she did just get out of a relationship, but how did she think jumping right into another one with a knows player would be easy? On the other hand I liked Joey and would want to know more about him if he weren't with Lacey.

So things with Lacey and Joey are moving right along and that leaves Shayne at a crossroads in his lie with Ashley. He takes a turn I thought I saw coming and hoped it didn't because it makes things even more convoluted within this "family".

Replace Me is just that, everybody replacing their significant other with somebody new except for Ford and Sky, which I was glad about. Jenn Foor writes some sexy stuff, however this story line was a bit too much for me. I am sticking with the series, as I see a Joey novella is on its way and after Ford, he is my favorite.

After the first one, I had high expectation for this book. And it did not deliver. This book was such a mess to read. Also I was getting pretty tired around the second half of the book reading about Lacey crying her eyes out because of the decision that she made. Seriously every chapter during Lacey's point of view she is crying. Wanted to slap her. Honestly the ending seem so rush that it did not make any sense.

None of the character's in this book seems likable. Except for Joey, Shayne and Ashley for some reason. Hated her in the first book, and now I wish she had her own book. Do not care for Shayne's family. His father is an ass, Peyton seems like a spoiled brat and I hope she doesn't end up with Joey's brother, Parker is a douche. So glad Shayne told him he have his head up his ass. Lacey was way too whiny for my liking. We get to see Ford and Sky but all we got out of it was that they were still having crazy sex. I was mostly just skimming the book toward the end. Wanted to get it done and over with.

Jennifer Foor sure do know how to write the sex, but that was basically all that was interesting in this book. I will kept on reading the next book but after this one, it might be better to set my expectation low.

I am a HUGE J4 fan, hands down. But Replace Me didn't quite hit the mark for me. I'd still recommend you to read the book because it's a great series and an awesome author wrote it.

This is definitely different. What you think is going to happen doesn't. I don't want to spoil anything but I probably will (spoiler alert, stopping reading)........

So, we have Shayne and Lacey. In book 1, Shayne's lie of knowing the real paternity of Ash's baby, destroys his relationship with his cousin, Ford, and his girlfriend, Lacey. He was going to let Ford believe he fathered Ash's baby, when in fact, it was his brother. Book 2 picks up with Lacey not wanting anything to do with Shayne due to said Lie and the fact that he was seeing other women while dating her. Then comes Joey, Ford's other cousin, no relation, technically to Shayne. Apparently, he's a bigger manwhore than Shayne, so everyone thought. Long story short, after much twisting and turning and Lacey sleeping with Shayne one last time for closure, she gets her HEA with Joey, who gives up everything to be with her. Throughout this whole mess, Shayne has decided to say he's the father of Ash's twins even though it was his brother that had the one night stand. Dad kicks him out. He meets a girl that he really likes but ends up sleeping with her sister on drunken night. He and Ashley eventually move in together and become the best of friends and unexpectedly fall in love. His brother wants nothing to do with the babies and signs his rights over. Shocking Shayne because how could he not want to be apart of his children's lives. Technically, Shayne has done everything lil brother should've done anyways. Looks like Shayne gets another book so we can see if he and Ashley make it. I thought he'd end up with Megan.

Whew, so much happens and more lives are introduced and affected. Still love my J4.

Ok so I was a little sad that this book goes back a bit. At the end of book 1 we had jumped ahead 6 months. This one starts off where book 1 concluded BEFORE the epilogue. Ok so once I was past that, I was good. Lacey was driving me up a wall, she seemed to be her own worst enemy. This review is really hard to write without giving anything away. There are so many characters in this book. The two POV's were from Lacey & Shayne but there were bigger factors involved namely Joey & Ashley. This book was an eye opener, there really wasn't a bad guy in this book, just a lot of unfortunate miscommunications and circumstances. You get to meet Peyton & Jayme which I know eventually get their own book so I suppose we will travel back in time again, but we'll see. All 4 characters grow immensely in this book. Lacey, Joey, Shayne & Ashley all grow in so many ways. The drama was insane. I wanted to scream but I wasn't really sure who to scream at. Shayne is really a good guy who has made some really bad choices. Ashley, although I wanted to hate her from book 1, she is actually a very sweet girl, who was very much in love. Joey was a character I didn't know what to expect, but you will learn more about him in the long novella that comes next. His character surprised me, if that is a fitting word. I didn't see him coming. Lacey, I don't even know what to make of Lacey. I'm sitting here and just really don't know what to say about her. I liked her character but I think she pissed me off the most. This was a great book and I can't wait to read Restore Me. This book just kind of ended but I know we will learn more in the next book so I wasn't too upset. Just glad I already had it on hand. I also can't wait for Remember Me, don't want to give anything away so I won't state whose book it is :) Enjoy, I certainly am

Soooo....I gave this a 3 stars. I'm really torn when it comes to this story. I enjoyed it and then I didn't. First, let me start by saying that I loved Joey! He was what saved this book from receiving a 1 star. He was enough to bump it up 2 stars. Can't wait to read his POV in the next book. With that said....Lacey was a nightmare. I'm not sure how much one person can cry but she should have gotten an award for the drama. She was really really really annoying to me. I hated that she assumed how everyone was feeling and she hurt people with her selfishness. I mean, who sleeps with the sleezy ex to get closure? Speaking of ex, Shayne was just as annoying. Make up your damn mind man. He wants to be with Lacey and loves her, but he doesn't feel like he is a committment type of man. He goes off and has sex with whomever. He likes Megan (which I am still confused as to what was the purpose of her being in this story for all but 2.5 seconds. There was a revelence there, but I missed it obviously). Then all of a sudden the book ends with him realizing he loves Ashley and the twins that he decided he was going to be responsible for because his selfish f up of a brother who is only worried about his future as a professional sports player doesn't want to claim the kids are his. WTF?
The one thing that Jennifer did in this story that I liked was refraining from the norm. In stories like this, no matter how messed up the situation the author finds a way for the main couple to get passed all of their mishaps and end up together. This didn't happen. Lacey and Shayne actually realized that they were meant to be together, and moved on hence (replace me).

Replace Me is book 2 in the ongoing KIN series.

Lacey Travis has wanted Shayne Hutchinson since she was 15, when they first met at the beach and she was just a blip on his radar. After lies are exposed, Lacey has no choice but sever their romance. She’s torn and seeks comfort...

When Ford’s cousin Joey, the practicing womanizer, moves into the apartment next to them, he’s determined to get Lacey into his bed. The more she fights Joey, the harder he is to resist.


Well You meet so many people in this book, I don't really know where to begin not to give away the story...

Lacey try to forget Shayne and move on. Joey try to help her forget, but her trust issues and his reputation made this hard. As it in the first book there are some really hot situations, and a lot of emotions.

In one hand I try to go with Lacey, try to figure out her movements, and enjoy her story, and on the other hand there is Shayne...

description

Well I like them both, and I was suprised at the end, it was an unpredictable twist for me. I liked it so much, it's also a great work, as the first one, and I was confused till the end who goes with who? :)

Will she choose the one who will give her that taste of perfection she’s been looking for? Yeah, and what about Shayne anf Joey?

Replace Me is the second book in the Kin series. We met Lacey and Shayne in Repair Me, but we dive deeper into their story and future. It is written in both Lacey and Shayne's POV. We also get to meet more characters in this series.


Lacey has loved Shayne for a very long time, but he has broken her trust. She knows she needs to move on and she tries to when she meets Joey. Joey is Ford's other delicious cousin. He is a known womanizer and Lacey quickly finds herself mixed up and falling hard. She starts to reevaluate her love for Shayne and her new love for Joey. She is very skeptical of men and trusting them, this causes her to make some horrible decisions.


Shayne knows he lost a very good thing and tries like hell to win Lacey back, but in the mean time he wants to do something to help Ashley. He feels like he needs to step up where is brother did not want to. While doing this Shayne does a lot of growing. Instead of being the playboy he was he wants to be a better man. What starts out as doing the right thing, Shayne redeems himself.


Then we have Joey and Ashley. Both of these people get caught-up in Lacey and Shayne's post relationship lives. Jennifer Foor has done an amazing job with this story. I was completely shocked with the way the story unfolded, but also so extremely happy with the way the story evolved. Thanks Jennifer for not going with a normal story line and giving us something much different.

A four star read.
I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Lacey has always wanted Shayne ever since they first met at the beach when she was fifteen.
After they start dating as adults Lacey thinks its serious but Shayne doesn't seeing other women the whole time.
Things come apart after lies are exposed.
Joey is Fords cousin who is a practicing womanizer but he's determined to get Lacey into his bed.
As Lacey fights her feelings for both Shayne and Joey she realizes she must make a decision.
Will she choose Shayne or Joey?
Will she find the one who will give her that taste of perfection she's been looking for?

Wow i felt like a ping pong with the back and forth of this complicated love story between Shayne,Lacey and Joey.
A few times thru out the book I felt bad for all three of them and other times I wanted to slap them and tell them to grow up and stop being so childish.
There was a lot of drama and angst and a few times i wanted to throw my tablet.
Wont give spoilers away but the person Lacey ends up with I feel was a good choice even though I think Lacey should have stayed by herself a bit longer to really think about some of the decisions she made thru out the book.

With a title of Replace Me, I thought the plot line took an interesting approach. The story is essential of the end Lacey and Shayne's relationship and them moving on replacing the other. The two POVs are Lacey and Shayne. I really just didn't think Lacey was likeable/relatable and ultimately thought she was a flat character. She was either crying, in bed with Joey, or being too wishy washy.

Shayne's POV had more meat to it, but I just couldn't get behind a lot of his decisions.

I also want to add, I thought it was really crummy that everyone was making excuses for Parker. I'm glad he finally made the decision in the end that he did, but part of being an adult is taking responsibilities for your actions. It really bothered me that everyone made excuses for him, just because he had a shot as a professional athlete. Learn to speak properly!

In the end, this book is not a book I can get behind.

I must say that this book give me a new perspective of a romance story. Lacey and Shayne are the characters in it but is love still between them or just there to find? The story picked up what’s left after the ‘Repair Me’ ended. Shayne was left behind and felt repentant by his dishonesty to Ford. Lacey felt betrayed by Shayne. After the catastrophe, they are faced with what happen next.

Replace Me is about the journey with 2 POVs, Shayne and Lacey to find love. Will love still exist between them? Or is it gone and grow towards other? If it is gone, will you brave enough to accept it and embrace a new form of love?. Talk about other significant people, Joey is officially my favourite character. He is funny, patient, loving and really understanding despite all the habits and routines he tried to resign. So, where is the next book? ;)

yet another amazing novel by jennifer!!! could not put this down i just had to no how the triangle ended....i was expecting this book to be a bit predictable but oh was i wrong. so much kept surprising me. there was alot going on in this book it definatley keeps you interested. so many sexy time scenes it was very hot. while spencer was trying hard to get another chance, he did f**k up along the way and it was hard to read some chapters in his POV. joey was hot hot hot but was very confused and unclear of his intensions. laceys character didnt bug me in this triangle but there were a few errors she made. in the end i agree with who she chose and i was shocked with what path the other guy chose. cant wait for more

Replace Me was a definite roller coaster. Reading about how two people went through their emotions and not having a clear understanding of love, faith, trust, commitment, or forever was difficult. There were times I was mad at all the characters, more some other than others. Keeping an open mind that they would figure it out they do. Of course the ending left my mouth dropped open. Without giving away the ending, I just want to say I want can't wait to read the continuation and I'm not referring to the novella, even though it will be nice to read Joey's POV. Hope it's not a long wait though, but I'm thinking it will be more than 2-3 months. Please don't make us wait too long.
