Undone

Wild Men #2

by Jo Raven

Kaden Hansen was my whole world. I fell head over heels.
And then he cheated on me.
Or so I thought. I’m pretty sure, okay?
Anyway, I ran away and refused to talk to him again.
But what if I was wrong?

I don’t trust men.
My ex cheated on me with my cousin. In our bed.
And Kaden, my boyfriend, well… I think he cheated on me, too.
Confidence is a fragile thing, and mine is already shattered. So I flew back to Chicago, putting distance between us before Kaden could hurt me more.
I’ve sworn off men for good, focusing on my work and waiting for the pain to fade.
I’m over Kaden. Really, I swear. I don’t love him anymore.
It’s over.
Only a miracle could throw us back together at this point… and who believes in those, right?

***This is a standalone, novella-length romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger or cheating. It can however be read as the sequel to CAVEMAN as it is about Matt Hansen's brother and his second chance at love. It contains the prequel to UNDONE (Troublemaker) and the wedding of Matt and Octavia (from CAVEMAN). ***

4 unexpected stars



I had bought Caveman when it first came out, knowing that it was a single father/nanny type of romance - one that i enjoy when it's well written. Right now, i'm regretting not having had read it before starting Undone, mostly because i had a feeling that i was missing something big in Hailey and Kaden's history. Was it explained/showed in Caveman? That's a question that i don't know, but intend on finding out.

4 breath taking dreams



While it's undeniable that these two bring out the best in one another, i'm still stuck on the whole "i'm missing something" aspect. Often Hailey and Kaden speak of his particularities in the bedroom. Bt i didn't really get to see it... that being said, i still enjoyed the story - it was an adorable second chance romance after a tragedy and it only made me more curious to find out exactly what happneed in their past and in Caveman!

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review

There isn't a book that Jo Raven has released that I haven't been obsessed with reading, falling for the hero and heroine, and missing them once I read the last page. I couldn't wait to feed my greedy imagination with another Hansen brother and his overgrown beard and caveman ways. It isn't long before Jo whisk us away into her newest fictional world to experience true frustration, lack of communication, and love between a hero and heroine that practically have us melting with their uncontrollable desire. Kaden and Hailey give new meaning to the words “it's complicated” and keep readers riveted and salivating from the beginning to the end of their story.

Kaden has kept his heart and emotions under lock and key his whole life until he meets the beautiful and tempting Hailey then he is a complete goner. If only she had trusted him. Jo reeled me in with another misunderstood, inked, and troubled hottie that soon wraps himself around my heart and had me wanting to comfort his bandaged head, soothe his broken heart, and stroke his muscular body right along with Hailey.

Hailey is a young woman from Chicago that isn't looking for love but just an exciting one night stand when she looks up at the blonde bearded hottie and knows immediately that he can rock her world! Little does she know that he will rock her world in all ways and she will have to battle all of her insecurities before they find their happy ever after.

Jo Raven delivers another story with such profound emotional depth and extreme heat that your brain is left scrambled, heart destroyed, and body over heated in the most delicious of ways. I highly recommend Kaden and Hailey's story in their prequel Troublemaker and the conclusion Undone for a tumultuous love affair that will have you fallen for another tortured hero and his heroine that loves him despite all the trouble that surrounds him. Jo Raven never fails to illicit limitless feelings of sympathy, love, and passion for all of her amazing characters who quickly become family to all of her readers.

Love Kaden

Another great book by the fabulous Jo.
As with Cave!an and Matt I loved this one too just when I thought it was going to go one way or took a major twist and I was like What??
The hotness of this one is off the charts and I could hardly put it down great read hopeless romantic lovers this is one for you!
Would Kaden be my book boyfriend ? He'll yes he's my book husband mine #Claimed

[Michele A. · Rating 2 out of 5]

I know I am in the minority with my review, but I just could not stand Hailey in this book. She runs away from Kaden without giving him a chance to explain who the girl was on his phone. She moves to Chicago, tries to move on and finds herself at a loss, and then gets a second chance with Kaden. She takes no responsibility for her actions, just keeps harping on her ex, Trent, having cheated on her with her cousin. It did not excuse her behavior and just made me want to slap her at points. She was childish, immature and just plain obnoxious at times. When she found out Kaden was ill she still tried to make it seem like she was bending over backwards for him when, in reality, she never even gave him a chance. She lied to him about their relationship status, willingly let things go too far at points but still claimed she was the victim. She knew he had trust issues but never went out of her way to find out why. Both of them needed to do a way better job of communicating and not such a good job of being pig-headed and stubborn. Sex doesn't solve things and both of them were guilty of using it to deflect from difficult conversations. The ending was okay but I really did not connect with either character.

4.5 Stars

Hailey has been burned by a cheating boyfriend before and refused to allow herself to be in that position again. When she suspects Kaden of cheating she's in the wind without a second glance. I mean she's positive he betrayed her. At least, she's pretty sure. Well, actually, maybe she isn't as sure as she initially thought, but she's certainly over him. Of course she is. So when he shows back up in her life after a case of amnesia, she has no problem pretending to still be his girlfriend. It's for his well being after all and she has no residual feelings for him. Except, maybe that is about as certain as her belief he cheated on her.

Undone is Kaden, Matt's brother's love story and it was as fun, sexy and entertaining as one would expect from Jo Raven. I really enjoyed Hailey and Kaden's story and it was so much fun revisiting Matt and Octavia!

[Ana Rita · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my sweet lord.... This woman is the bomb and you need to know her work.
The way she writes her books can submerge you into a big ocean made of desire and love.
If you want to know if what I'm saying is the truth, I dare you to grab her books and read them all. I can guarantee that you will not be indifferent to her, on the contrary my friends.
Like I said Jo Raven has a simple, sexy, intense and real writing that will get you when you least expect it.
Undone is her latest release and tells the stories of Kaden and Hailey.
Kaden is the typical bad boy. He's a dark guy that had his heart broken and because of that he closed himself. He wants to forget but sometimes that's not possible.
Hailey saw her heart being broken twice. She can't believe her bad luck. Why does that happen to her? Why can't she be happy?
Trust is something that when is lost its hard to get it back. But what will happen?
Just like other books from this author, this book didn't disappoint. It has love, anger, happiness, sadness and some hot stuff into the mix.
The plot is amazing and the connection that the characters shared was so intense that you wanted them to be together.
The twists and turns left me anxious and the unknown got me nervous because I didn't know what would happen next.
It was so good to hear from Matt and Octavia.
And now what Jo Raven? What will you write next? Will we get more news from the characters?
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

[April Symes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hailey and Kaden's story was so phenomenal!! I enjoyed getting to know another Hansen brother with his alpha ways and Kaden’s story definitely hit the spot. This is a story about two people who definitely had an issue with miscommunication and mistrust-- the story goes into explaining the reasons why but even so, there are some valid and not so valid points as to why the mistrust was even there to begin with-- I found myself rooting for them to work things out because there was so much love there, even with everything else going wrong, the love was there. There is a lot of turns and one big twists in Hailey and Kaden’s love story. Jo Raven is really good at writing characters that you become entranced with and for wanting to know more about their lives even after the book is over and it’s the same with this one. I was glad to see Matt and his Octavia (From Caveman) pop up in this story and we get to see how they are doing. I hope we get to visit with these couples again down the road. Ms. Raven has written a winner of a novella here.

[Katie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read that this book could be read as a standalone, so I decided to give it a go.

On one hand, yes it could be read as a standalone. Everything is explained to you about their relationship and situation so you aren't left wondering what is happening. If you are looking for a fairly short book about a second chance romance, it's a good book to read. I thought it was well-written, the story flowed well and the characters were likeable.

On the other hand however, it features characters from the previous book in the series, Caveman. As I haven't read that book, I don't know if things are spoiled if you read this book beforehand.

After reading this book I am now interested in going back and reading Kaden's brother Matt's book. I would also like to know more about Kaden's neighbour Jared.

[Viper Spaulding · Rating 5 out of 5]

First, make sure you read Troublemaker. It's included. It's really, really good. Then start Undone - which takes place a couple months later. Kaden and Hailey are so much in love, but neither of them can trust that love enough to risk being hurt again, so misunderstandings abound until Hailey orders up a miracle. Cue the drama, trauma, and heartwrenching, gutwrenching reunion that just about tore me up inside! Jo Raven makes you feel Every. Thing. as you read this book. Such a wonderful story, absolutely riveting book. And the steamy sexy scenes were the hottest! Honestly, I thought *I* was going to pass out! And seriously, if you haven't read Caveman, you owe it to yourself to read that one too. It's just as awesome. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

[Heather in FL · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this story right after finishing a series in a different genre. I'm generally a fan of Ms. Raven, and I thought this would be a good story with a bit of good sex thrown in. It was a decent story and there was sex, but I dunno. I didn't get the same "wow" factor as I've gotten from some of her other stories, like Caveman, which is about Kaden's brother, Matt. Or Candy Boys. That's not to say this story sucked, it was just... I dunno... too quick? Or something? I ended up reading the prequel that was included -- I hadn't read that before reading this one, but it's definitely not necessary to the story. We're brought up to date pretty well about what broke them apart without reading the prequel. It just gave a few more details. Anyway, not my favorite Jo Raven story so far, but the bar is pretty high for her. :-)

[Sam · Rating 4 out of 5]

I won't lie, I've been in a book funk for the better part of three months, and only Jo Raven really helps me out of it. So I've been following her until she finally released Undone. I have to admit in the beginning there was too much cursing going on in Kaden's parts and it annoyed me a little, but then everything changes and he makes up for it a hundred fold.

Jo Raven is incredible when it comes to details and creating characters you fall for so hard, you can count on never getting back out. As so often with Novellas I wish there was MORE.

[Kim · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!! Kaden is a mess with Hailey gone after an overreaction on her part. She was burned in the past so she has no trust, something Kaden has issues with too.
When an accident brings her back Kaden does everything he can to make her stay.
I loved Kaden. He is sweet and a good guy under the guarded heart. Hailey was a little more stubborn, easily making bad judgements based on protecting herself. Together they are each others missing puzzle piece.
The ending was sweet.

Amnesia brings two lovers back together after a misunderstanding. Quick read.

[Bellereader · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kaden and Hailey are a second chance story Jo Raven style 😉! Hailey has major trust issues that stems from her neglectful parents that passed her around treating her as though her existent was an inconvenience to their dating lives and her cheating ex who thought that her cousin would be a fine way get his kicks on the side. Needless to say her heart is guarded so when she had found strange texts and pics on Kadens phone from another woman she wasn't sticking around for the fallout. Kaden is a closed and guarded man. After a crushing and embarssing childhood scandal he lives his life very guarded and kept Haliey at arms length. When she initially confronted him he was affronted and closed off and let her get away and now he's paying the price but is too prideful to admit that he was wrong. Now his self destructive ways just might be the death of him. When an accident brings them back together and Kaden cannot remember that he and Haliey aren't together anymore their old chemistry and passions resurface and are too much to ignore. But memory loss isn't permanent and problems don't stay buried forever.

[April ♥"LOS" ♥ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Like a lot of readers I was excited for Kaden and Hailey to get their story told as well as getting their HEA.

When Hailey suspects Kaden of cheating, she doesn’t give him any time to explain and just runs from what they have.  As the months pass they are living separate, but equally miserable, lives.  Neither admitting that they miss the other one and willing to take the first step.

When a terrible accident causes Kaden to lose his memory, the only thing he can remember is Hailey.  Not the fight they had or the breakup that resulting in her leaving, just Hailey.  As the memories start to return, Kaden knows this might be his only chance to set things right with her and hopefully change the outcome of their future.

Hmm

I must have forgotten to write a review for this book. From what I can remember, I was very annoyed at the heroine because of the huge miscommunication/assumption trope used in the storyline, which is based on her insecurities and/or issues from previous relationships. The hero was pretty amazing considering he knew he’d done nothing wrong. I would’ve kicked her ass to the curb myself 😂

[Natalie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked this book, which is the 2nd part of the Caveman series, a little bit more than Caveman :)

I´m not sure if you necessarily have to read Caveman before you read Undone but I reccommend to do it.

This book is shorter than Caveman but also written from the point of views of both main characters who are Kaden (the brother of Matt from Caveman) and Hailey.

The book starts with the prequel called Troublemaker in which you get to know how both characters met each other and how their love began. The rest of the book is seperated in parts. It has 5 parts to be exact. Those parts show the phases of their relationship. The bad ones and good ones. The pre and after life/ moments of Kadens "situation".

The book is about love (of course), trust and misunderstanding. It´s about the fear of being hurt again, about being scared to give yourself completely again, to love and trust again. And it´s about the importance of communicating with and understanding each other.

I don´t wanna say much else about this book because it´s quite short and I don´t want to spoiler anything. But just let me say... Love isn´t easy and sometimes things happen that make you realize what you feel, what you fear, what you want, what you need, what mistakes you´ve done and what you need to do to make it better. And this is exactly what happens in this book. So read it :)

My Opinion:

The writing style was still fine. There were still a couple mistakes but it didn´t bother me much.

I liked Kaden and Hailey. Kaden reminded me of Matt. Also stubborn and sexy. Dark and brooding. Hurt and broken. I was just confused that he looks so different. Him being blonde and (if I remember correctly) blue eyed while his brother was dark haired and had brown eyes. Like Day and Night. They weren´t adopted brothers and had the same parents. They must have looked alike. I think it´s quite rare in the DNA world to have brothers look so differently. But...whatever ;)

When I started the book and saw the prequel.. well. I had to check Goodreads if Undone really is part 2 of this series. It confused me for a moment, because there´s a book with the same title. But I realized very quickly that Troublemaker once was a little novella and is now part of Undone :)

The only problem I have with the prequel is that their lovestory happened too fast. Especially as both had/have trustissues.

The rest of the book/ story was fine. I enjoyed reading this book. Even though it has no eplilogue, I liked the ending. No- I loved it.

I also liked that a few things I missed in Caveman happened in Undone. I guess a few questions I had were answered as well.

So all in all- it was a short book that was long enough to make me like it :)

[Erika · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is part of the world of Inked Brotherhood, and it's about Zane's brother-in-law's brother Kaden. The book is not a full novel, is more a novella, and compared to other books in the same universe, it feels a little short and simple. Still, I like the world and wouldn't have missed this book for anything, I even liked it. The book explores the old amnesia plot and second chances theme, but it was very well done. I liked how the situation was handled and how it progressed.

Even if it was short, and not the best of the author's work, it was still very good and a must read for those already invested in the universe.

Kaden and Hailey were a couple, but past experiences made her doubt him, and with very little evidence she decided that he was cheating on her and she went away. She felt awful and missed him, but she decided that it was best to cut him out before he had the chance to hurt her more. He didn't cheat on her, and he missed her, but his pride didn't allow him to go after her, even if he was miserable and was self destructing with his drinking and recklessness.

One day, while working, he falls and hits his head, he gets a very bad concussion, he keeps forgetting things, and for days he doesn't know where he is or what happened. Since he doesn't remember fighting with her, he thinks she is still his girlfriend, and gets worked up when he doesn't see her, thinking they were in a car accident and she was also hurt, and since he keeps forgetting, no matter how many times they tell him she's fine, he keeps forgetting and getting worked up when he doesn't see her. Matt calls her and convinces her to visit him.

She doesn't want to go back, but the truth is she still cares about him, even if she is convinced that he cheated on her. While being there she starts realizing that maybe she was too quick to draw conclusions, since she starts realizing that everyone knows about her, while she thought he didn't care about her and that she was his secret, and then he starts talking about how much he loves her, making her doubt herself.

Kaden starts remembering, and he knows they fought, even if he doesn't remember why, so he decides to use his injuries to show her that they belong together. By the time he remembers what she accused him, she has already realized that she made a mistake with her accusations. They start talking, and then Hailey realizes that he remembers, and even if he tries to show her that he cares, and that she misinterpreted things before, she gets angry and runs again, but then she realizes she is doing it again, and goes back to him and they get together for good.

A short read by Jo Raven

I read the prequel Trouble maker after this book so sort of went about this the wrong way but in doing so think that trouble maker which focuses on how Hailey and Kaden meet could of been made into one book they are both short reads but there is also a big jump to the insta-love and falling in love to the big fall out in Undone so in a way it fits or you would be saying there's a lot missing or there was a big gap in the story. so I'm sort of on the fence on how it could of been written they are interesting characters and it was a good story.

In Trouble maker you learn that Hailey has run from her cheating ex, gone to a new town and meets kaden in a bar. The man marked as a trouble maker with a reputation and gossiping rumors in his wake but Hailey doesn't want to believe the rumors or warnings and lets the attraction and fate guide her and Both fall hard.

undone is the continuation of their relationship or should I say none relationship due to the fact that they have split over up over something they should really have talked about but Hailey is a runner and as soon as there's any trouble or anything she has to face instead she runs. I liked Hailey's character but at the same time she was annoying, she's marmite but not in a bad way.

undone is told in dual pov's it's an interesting story, Kaden has an accident and has amnesia and so as a result thinks that he and Hailey are still together. Hailey not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings and to assist Kaden's recovery goes along with still being his girlfriend.

There was humor, I had a few laugh out loud moments and there is also hotness, no cheating, no angst I enjoyed it.

Do you want to have a quick overview over my feelings while reading the book?
Going in: Excitement, soon followed by shock over the situation Kaden and Hailey were in
Chapter 8: despair. I cried. Cried so hard, because it felt so real. The feels were too much and I couldn’t help myself.
End: Ecstatic again. It was awesome and soooo cute!
Okay, after this quick overview, here my review: I loved the shortstory that came before this one, introducing Kaden and Hailey around Christmas last year (you’ll find the short story in the back of this book, so read that one first). When Matt’s book came out I hoped to see more of Kaden, but we only got a short glimpse which left me reeling, because I shipped Hailey and Kaden hard. They were adorable together and I was so looking forward to not get a tortured bad boy this time. Well, I was wrong. How could I even doubt the Queen of all tortured Bad boys?
It wasn’t so easy. Surprising, I know. And yet, Jo Raven managed to give a completely different story than I expected. It was a great plot. Fluent writing (as usual) and a great ending. I would have wished for a scene between Kaden and Trent, but, well, maybe we’ll get that as an extra sometime.
All in all, Jo Raven didn’t disappoint. I really liked reading this story and recommend it for everyone to get addicted to Jo Raven. It’s one of the books that give you a good entry into her world.

5 Stars to Undone by Jo Raven.

Kaden and Hailey.......

Another fantastic book from Jo Raven! This author has always given me an amazing story; never doing wrong in my experience with her writing. When Jo Raven releases a new book, I stop whatever I'm doing to devour it!

Undone is technically the sequel to Cavemen. However it can definitely be read as a standalone because when Kaden and Hailey's story ended there is was a HEA. Little did we know that there was trouble after Jo wrote 'The End.'

This books opens in darkness and sadness. Kaden and Hailey are not a couple any longer. For reasons you will learn as you read, she accuses him of cheating then leaves.

Both Kaden and Hailey are devastated by the breakup. Especially Kaden, as he is clueless as to why Hailey would accuse him. Kaden is also angry, not to mention he has also been distracted and takes on a dark persona.

Something happens that brings Hailey back to Kaden. This is just temporary and she doesn't intend to stay however she will eventually realize that she should never have left. Hailey should have stayed and worked through her problems. Running away did not solve a thing.

Will Kaden and Hailey find their way back together? Or is it too late to 'talk.'

This book is short but still packs a punch regardless. I felt Undone was somewhat dark and sad. Kaden and Hailey loved each other but their communication skills could use some work. No matter their faults, I couldn't help but love them and watching them work through their problems only endeared them to me more. I wished this book were longer.

I really, really loved this book! If you haven't read Caveman yet, you should grab that too and read it first. You don't have to but you will appreciate Kaden and Hailey's situation much more if you do.

This is my honest and unbiased review.

[Maria Hunt · Rating 5 out of 5]

After reading Caveman, the first Hansen brother book, I couldn't wait to get to know Kaden's story and Undone did not disappoint! "It's complicated" doesn't even begin to explain Hailey and Kaden's relationship which will keep you riveted until the very last page.

Kaden Hansen has kept his heart and emotions under lock and key since he was a teenager. Just as he begins to trust and let someone in she violates that trust and alienates him from everyone. Frustrated and misunderstood Kaden refuses to let anyone in close enough to hurt him again.

After having her trust shattered and ending a long relationship the only thing on Hailey's mind is running as far and fast as she can. Once she settles into her new town she heads out looking for a night of fun when a sexy, bearded man in the bar soon catches her eye.

Neither Hailey not Kaden are prepared for how the other will change their lives and are soon falling hard. When a misunderstanding separates them they are both left broken. Will they be able to let down their guards and deal with their issues before it's too late? The twists and turns their story takes will have you rooting for them until the very end.

Undone had me riveted from the very beginning with a fantastic storyline and characters I couldn't help but relate to. This fantastic second chance romance will pull at your heartstrings and leave you with a smile on your face!

Wow!! Another amazing book by one of my favorites. This author has a talent for intertwining her books in a way where you can read as a stand alone or if you read all her books, you continue to get updates on characters from other books. She continues to impress. This is the story of Kaden (brother to Matt, Caveman) and Hailey. I love how this book is written in three parts within this one story. It still maintains a beautiful flow but also accentuates a significant change. It starts out with the couple having broke up due to a misunderstanding and poor communication. Both are extremely sad and miserable. I will say Hailey annoyed me a little in the beginning. It made me angry that she assumed a lot and did not talk to Kaden. Of course that is the beauty of this author, she continues to feed you more information as the story unfolds to help you understand a character better. A huge event happens in the middle of the book that changes everything and brings this couple back together, well at least back into each others world. I LOVED LOVED LOVED how this was written. This story takes you on a ride of varying emotion and as I got to know the couple better, I really championed them being successful. I don't want to give anymore away other than to say, this is a definite MUST READ. Happy Reading everyone!!!

Awwwww! Loved!

This is an addition of Kaden and Hailey's story. I really thought that they'd have their HEA by now... ummmm this is a Jo Raven book i shoulda known better!

I won't go over the story too much as it's novella length and well just read it yourself! lol

These two are so sweet. They've both been betrayed and find it hard to trust so it's perfect that they found each other. The road is rocky but the end is oh so worth it.

Poor Kaden he's like a fish out of water being without Hailey. He's sunk into a bad place bless him and doesn't know what to do. Fate takes over in an unconventional way and his brother Matt helps it along. Kaden is so sweet and sexy i love him! He knows he and Hailey are meant to be and he uses everything in his power to get her back. I love how he tries so hard to make it right even when he's not too sure what he's done.

Hailey is obviously reluctant to give in. She thinks Kaden is like all the others, boy she's so so wrong! I kinda like her stubbornness but the pull of Kaden is stronger.

There's angst and tears along the way but the road to happily ever after is never easy. It's worth the fight. Plus sexy times! phhheewwwwwwww! even when he can barely walk! what a man! lol

A fab addition to Caveman and it was fab seeing Matt and Octavia again! Yay!! Happy happy happy.... eventually! lol

5 brill stars!

I am in love with Jo Raven....there I said it....I fangirl hard for her books lol. But.....I'm also a little behind so I haven't read Troublemaker yet...or Caveman....but I loved Undone. So I didn't get the full story of how Kaden and Hailey met, but I wasn't lost. I love them for where they are in their story. It was super easy to pick up, that's part of the beauty of Jo Raven's writing.

Kaden and Hailey are characters that love hard but don't trust easily. However they really want to trust in each other. They're given a second chance with an unusual miracle that showcases both what was lacking in their relationship before and their vulnerabilities. Opening themselves up to each other to build the missing trust that they each struggle with in their own ways.

So...what did I love most about this book: I felt like I was reading about people that I've already met. Jo's characters are full of depth, unique personalities, wit and charm. They love whole heartedly, they hurt deeply; and they are fully of passion. As a novella, I felt like it was the perfect conclusion to a story previously written, but not that I couldn't devour it as a standalone. Another great read by Jo Raven and I'm always looking forward to the next (and catching up with the ones I missed).

I really liked this latest story by Jo Raven. This is the story of Hailey and Kaden. We first meet Kaden briefly in Caveman...he is Matt's youngest brother. Kaden and Hailey have a solid relationship so it seems at first but Hailey has convinced herself that Kaden is cheating on her when she sees texts from another woman. Hailey has deep seeded trust issues and assumes the worst and dumps Kaden without giving him a chance to explain. Kaden with his own issues refuses to chase after her but he tries to drink the memory of her away. A work accident leaves Kaden injured and with temporary amnesia. He doesn't remember anything and still thinks that they are still in a relationship. Hailey reluctantly agrees to come back to help Kaden out. Its rough going at first but Hailey realizes that maybe what she thought had transpired really didn't. There are a lot of twists and turns in their story but the chemistry and passion between them still burns bright. I am a sucker for second chance romances and their story definitely delivered that and then some. I highly recommend this book to everyone who enjoys that type of romance. I can't wait to see what Jo Raven comes out with next....well done!!!

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

What a sweet book. It was a nice quick read. Kaden and Hailey are a couple just trying to work their way through the trials and tribulations of their lives. Will they overcome them together? Hailey has had s shitty past from her parents betraying her to her cheating ex. So when she see evidence if her boyfriend Kaden heading that same way she chooses to cut the hurt and run. Well Kaden can seem to make left or right of why she ran. He just misses his Hailey no end starts to spiral because of it and ends up needing help. When his family comes to help him guess who they call? Can they get a second chance at the love they both lived so desperately. It was a great quick read. I expected this to be more involved like Jo's other books with more drama. It was nice to have something easy and quick to read. Wishing it was longer? Who doesn't when you like a book. We catch up with Kaden's brother Matt in this book which is nice. You don't need to read the other book but it was great so why not? Huh? No cheating technically, no cliffhanger and a HEA. I read this book voluntarily for an honest review. Enjoy!

A Lie Is Worse Than The Truth💋

Hailey💋 has broken up with her one and only true 💘love, Kaden🐺🍌🌋✋, because she thinks he cheated on her. She thinks She has moved on, but it's wishful thinking.
Kaden🐺🍌🌋✋ feels pretty much the same way, but he tries to drown himself in booze 🍸. One day at work he slips in some oil and he falls and hits his head, winding up in the hospital with a bad concussion. His memory and sense of time⌚ are greatly disturbed. He can't remember his last name and insists on seeing Hailey💋, he doesn't remember they are no longer together.
Hailey💋 comes to see him in the hospital, and she doesn't tell him they were over. Instead she tries to act like nothing is wrong. She's hedging her bets.
Why do these books always build conflict between the characters that is always based on a lie, a misunderstanding, or an omission?
This book isn't nearly as good as the precursor, Caveman🔥🔥🔥, although the cover art is super hot!🔥Nothing compares to you, Matt!🐺🍌🌋✋👐
Kaden is a bad naaasssty alpha stud🐺🍌🌋🐎. He's a spankster✋✋, a biter👄,and a bad boy🔥🔥 extraordinaire!
Git your spurs on Hailey girl!
YEHAW! Ride em Bareback🍌, Cowgirl!🐎🐎🐎🐎

❤️🌼🔥UNDONE.....JO RAVEN......ANOTHER HOT ONE!!!!❤️🌼🔥
We learned of Matt’s 2 brothers, Kaden and Zane in CAVEMAN, and I was glad Kaden was given his own book...I love the story of Kaden and Hailey...and their second chance at love, facilitated by (in my opinion)Jo Raven’s unusual and kinda genius method of reuniting this couple, who are so meant for each other, I could never see either of them with anyone else...It was also great to see Matt and Octavia and their kids sprinkled throughout the book....❤️🌼🔥
I loved Kaden, who, like his brother, is a 🔥HOT🔥, all alpha male, and Hailey is smart and lovable, but both have (for good reason) BIG trust issues which makes a relationship almost impossible...However, when you are just meant to be together, and a second chance arises to right the wrong world in which you are just existing, Kaden proved to be extremely intelligent and in love...and took steps to right that wrong...❤️🌼
There are several chapters at the end entitled TROUBLEMAKER....You WANT to read that...The author has given us the story of Kaden and Hailey, Part 1 And I loved it too...I am a BIG Jo Raven fan..I loved this book....❤️🌼
