Blare

Senses #12

by Xavier Neal

Logan "Unbreakable" Kellar has the existence he never dreamed possible. Between his booming business, beautiful, nerdy wife, and four children, 3 of which are too much like him for their own good, it's safe to say there's never a dull moment to be found. With his ten year wedding anniversary inching closer, Kellar decides it would be a fantastic idea to celebrate it by having a vow renewal ceremony. However, when problems arise in all three aspects of his life, will he be able to face them head on or find himself having to turn away from the blare?

Perfect ending to a perfect family
Love Maxx and Logan
Intense emotional loving

[Linda Cotter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ok, how to do this and not include any spoilers...
First, if you've loved Maxx and Logan in the past, they will keep your heart happy. I've loved watching their story unfold, and though I'm told this is their last novel, I hope that's wrong (maybe a glimpse into their lives years from now??)
The family, the love, and the story are wonderful, and the steam is, as always, there.
A definite must for your library!

Such a Beautiful End

I love this series so much. It’s what lead me to becoming an Xavier Neal fan. And to see how it all ends. No less then spectacular. Blare was just as intense, fun, hilarious, and loving as every other book in this series. It’s a perfect ending, fit for a perfect couple and a perfect series. I’ll miss the Kellars, but so happy they went out just the way they should, with a bang. And always leaving you with the same feeling, I Gotchu.

So. Much. Emotions. Wow! I can not believe this is truly the end! But what a freaking awesome way to end it! I sooooo loved Blare.



Loved the family dynamic! The wittiness of convos. The kiddos wow! That "twist" in there that made me wanna jump in the pages and slap someone multiple times! Thank you Xavier Neal for making this last book of Maxx and Logan an amazing one. Five stars absolutely.

[Andrea Turner · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved every minute of this book. I have missed the Keller clan so much. The thing I love the most about this series is that they talk to US! You don’t really get that in a lot of books. It breaks my heart that this is the last book. I don’t know how I’m going to survive without all of their antics! Watching Logan and Maxx grow up throughout these years, and my god their kids can have books of their own. This series has been amazing and such a fun family to read about. Now we all just need to get Xavier on board for a little novella with the group one day!!!! Please oh please!!
I hope everyone has loved this family as much as I have! I can’t believe Logan doesn’t put up a fight for more stories. Tehehehe!

I love you Keller’s , and we gotchu!

[Melissa Reader · Rating 5 out of 5]

First I have to admit something. I do not usually read the chapter in a book if I know it's going to be the end of the series. Why? Because I don't want it to end.
However the author makes it so you won't put the book down until the very end. The ending was special and meaningful to us readers who have been there the whole Keller clan journey.
This books makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time. The emotions this book puts you through are beyond words. Thank you Miss Neal for giving us the ending we all could hope for.

[Heather andrews · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's aways good to have your man's permission on some things, “you can fondle my balls anytime, Maximus.” Logan is sensitive about some things, “I can handle my effing kids. Thank you for your concern.” Erin is still that bluntly honest friend every girl needs, “what about that one?” My eyes barely have time to swing to the item. “No. Never mind. Your *** would look like a billboard in that s***.” I loved seeing the gang again it was great seeing how things were turning out for them.

[Shronda · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG! Xavier has done it once again. I’m sad to see the end of this series you feel like Logan and Maxx are part of your family. Words that you’re drawn to emotions that are all over are some of the things that make a great story. You root for the main characters as well as being concerned for the supporting characters. It never s feels like you’re reading different stories the situations are written organically and you as the reader cannot help but root and get upset when the book is over. To prep myself for this book I went back and read the entire series because come on it’s great. Besides it has been a while and I have read several books since then. I wanted to make sure Logan, Maxx and their crew was fresh in my mind.

[Kori Dicken · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh my gosh- this book made me fall in love with the Keller’s all over again! This is the PERFECT ending the the absolute most perfect Happily Ever After💕

I wish I could give it way more than just 5 stars!! 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

[Stacey · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a wonderful conclusion to this series. Maxx and Logan get a wonderful send off that they, and all of their extended family, deserve so much. Thia book will make you feel so many things so be prepared. I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

[Stephanie Christensen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg I’m so sad to see the Kellars go!! I loved every minute of this book even the oh no she didnt moments. I couldn’t put this book down!! I laughed I cried and had all the feels with this book!

You’ll get to see a look into Max’s and Logan life with kids and everyday husband and wife problems! There’s even a twist in there that has you sitting on the edge of your seat and even thinking come on Logan get it together.. thanks Xavier for letting me get to know the kellars from start to finish. It was an amazing journey.

[Tovah Levine · Rating 5 out of 5]

So sad to see the Kellar’s go but it was honestly bound to happen. Xavier you brought the Keller’s and everyone else to life. I know if I was more I will have to do tons of re reading but hey that’s totally ok. I will never forget this amazing experience because this series brought me to one amazing author who writes amazing stories.

[Sheri Bishop · Rating 5 out of 5]

I hated this book! Hold on, hold on, ask me why. It was a wonderfully written book, full of intriguing, genuine characters that I've loved for several years. The story line was enough to make you angry, sad, happy, all the feels. Once again, a home run for our Xavier Neal.

BUT.........it's the end of the Senses series. And that makes my heart hurt. I've been with these characters since before they fell in love, before they were married, and before they created the wonderful family they have. They've introduced us to their friends, their siblings, their enemies and have made a small part of their lives. And now, their stories are ending. *SIGH*

Xavier Neal is a true artist with her words. She's the only author I've read that lets her characters speak to us, actually talk to us, the reading audience. It's a truly unique way of writing and I love it. Nice ending, Xavier, you definitely told Max and Logan's story beautifully

[Danielle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing read and conclusion to this series.. Logan Logan Logan man I’ve grown with you and your family for so long. I gotchu is a phrase that holds strong meaning to me more and more. I love seeing how you have grown into the family man. Maxx is a bombshell with a dont mess with what is mine attitude.. Love seeing how the family has grown and seeing all the kids growing up now. This book is an amazing conclusion to an incredible series that will always have a special place in my heart!!!

[Tiffany Levin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely loved the end of this series. Really enjoyed catching up with the Kellers and seeing that they have continued with their love. Even loved seeing that they are still imperfect but perfect for each other. While I am sad that the series is over, Xavier did an amazing job of wrapping it up so that you weren’t left with any questions and satisfaction with the ending.

[Renee Megee · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the perfect ending for the perfect couple. I absolutely love Logan and Maxx.

[Jackie Bragg · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love me some Keller's

Logan "Unbreakable" Kellar has the existence he never dreamed possible.


His booming business, his Extraordinary beautiful, and nerdy wife, his amazing four children, which 3 out of the 4 are way too much like him for their own good. You can't say its a boring day at the Kellers.


Having his 10th Wedding Anniversary coming up, what does a man do to make it Special for his Lady love. Throw in some Hot Sex, Quirky friends and you'll have a a wedding that people will talk about for centuries.

Logan loves all that is Maximus. The way she walks and thinks, and the Nerdy things is a big turn for him.

And Maximus loves her Logan. They might not agree on all things, But their Romance was truly Spectacular to read.

Max may not always does what Logan wants her too, but she does get his permission from time to time.

The quotes that Xavier brings had LMAO. Especially when she said

“you can fondle my balls anytime, Maximus.” Lord these two had me laughing the entire time.


Was happy to see all the Gang again, and saddened to see the Ending on the Keller's.

I hope Xavier will write about Little Bit. There is a story to he had with this one.

As always with Xavier Neal books she'll have you wanting me.

[Sabrina Thompson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book 13 in the "Senses Series". All books, including this one, must be read in reading order. The story will not make sense if not read in order.

The Kellars are back, one last time, to burrow even deeper inside your heart and soul. Everyone in this series is grown. We get to glimpse into their often chaotic lives. Throughout this book we are able to see where all the characters, from previous books, are in life.

Maxx and Logan, are without a doubt, couple goals. I love their chemistry. I love their passion and I love their devotion to not only one another but to everyone in their family.

As life gets progressively more busy for Maxx and Logan, will their passion stay ignited or will life have a different turnout?

When something happens in their lives and both are forced to examine their life choices, they are faced with digging inside themselves to confront deep hidden truths. Life can be unexpected, confusing and down right tragic. They must come together for all involved.

This book has absolutely everything I love and need in a book. It is heartwarming and full of witty one-liners. The side characters are prominent throughout and that is something I have always adored about Ms. Neal's books, she treats all her characters as main characters.

This book was bittersweet, knowing that this was the last book based solely on The Kellars. There are no words to describe what this series means to me. "Senses" was the first series I read by Ms. Neal and this this series will forever hold a special place in my heart. This series is a MUST read if you like MMA. This series is heartbreaking, family oriented and laugh out loud funny, at times. Don't miss reading this epic series.

[Alison · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 Happy, Epic, Seriously HOT Stars!

I was given this book in turn for an honest review.

Unbreakable Kellar has it all, and he wants to show Maxx how committed he is to her, by renewing their wedding vows. It’s a great idea until life throws him a few punches.

The Kellar’s are back! I have missed Logan, Maxx and the gang so much, these guys totally steal your heart, and once they have a hold, they won’t ever let go. Xavier Neal has given us another rollercoaster ride of a story with the Kellar’s and I loved every minute, from start to finish.

When it comes to breaking the third wall with writing, Xavier Neal nails it every single time. You really do feel as though you are there with the characters living every moment, you really do feel like their best friend, and I love it.

I’m sad to see the Kellar’s journey is over, I honestly do not think I could ever get enough of this family and reading about their life’s. This family are an inspiration in so many ways, always there for each other, blood isn’t what always bonds them as family, and when they tackle a problem, they tackle it together, even when the lines become blurred, and they forget to reach out for help and advice.

Thank you, Xavier Neal, for a wonderful series and thank you for giving us one more story from this amazing family.

[Sophia Phipps · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the epic conclusion to the Senses Series and our beloved Logan and Maxx. This book was so bittersweet to me. I first started reading Xavier’s Senses Series 5 years ago and have been invested in this journey.

Logan and Maxx are still the fun, loving, and hardheaded couple that they always have been. What is love without a little growth? Life has changed for this couple in the best ways. We get to see how they function as a family and the growing pains of just life. What I have always loved about Xavier’s books is how real she makes the couple. There were many times I went “gah! Been there!” We get to see our other favorites from the Senses Series as well, plus others from different books!

I absolutely loved getting to know the kids and their personalities. I have a soft spot for Jude. With any book, we have some big issues that come up. I don’t want to say what happens without spoiling it, but man! When I saw what was going on, I had a bit of a freak out moment and was yelling at Logan through my kindle.

If you loved the other Senses Series, be sure to pick up Logan and Maxx’s finale! You won’t be disappointed.

[Loren · Rating 5 out of 5]

How I have missed the Kellars! Even though it’s been a while since we’ve visited with the Kellars, Ms. Neal did not miss a beat with the conclusion to the Senses series and their story. Maxx and Logan are one of my favorite book couples of all time – they are who made me a Xavier Neal fan for life! I love how Maxx and Logan talk to us, as they’ve always done throughout the Senses series, like we’re close friends. Their family dynamic is so likeable – even with the dirty mouths – and, after almost ten years of marriage, Maxx and Logan are still one of the hottest, sexiest couples out there. Also, the humor is non-stop. I can’t believe that this is the end, and I am so sad. Oh, how I’m going to miss getting new stories about Maxx and Logan! I guess I’ll just have to go back to the beginning and read the series over, and over, and over again. I miss them already, and yes, I sobbed like a baby at the end. Bravo, Xavier Neal, for a fantastic conclusion to one of my favorite series. You've outdone yourself with this one.

Ok September 3rd had always been a very special day to me, it's my birthday! Then 5 years ago on my birthday i met the man of my dreams. Of course because my life is like the song Ironic by Alanis Morrisette, i then was introduced to his soul mate Maxx.

This couple has been an addiction for me since the day they met the public. I've watched their ups and downs. I've laughed with them and cried with them. I've fallen in love with all of their friends and their children. Each book brought me closer and closer to them and made me crave them even more.

I feel honored to be one of the 'original' Xavier fans. I find it hard to believe sometimes that it's been 5 years. Then i look at my bookshelf and see all the signed books of hers that i own and look at my list of all the ones i still need to order from her and realize that this phenomenal woman has put out around 50 books or more in that time! Although im sad to see the end of Logan and Maxx's story I can't wait to see what else she has in store for us in the future.

After binge reading the Senses series I adored Maxx and Logan and the rest of their bunch. So for a new one to come out I was super excited to see where the story line went. And I enjoyed every second of their extended journey. It was fun finding out what the group has been up to. And the chemistry between Logan and Maxx is still burning hot! Then to top it off their is a shady character involved that will make you stop and think "WTF?". But to find out you gotta read this!

[Jenn Allen · Rating 5 out of 5]

We've moved a bit in to the future with my favorite family. There's been changes, growth, and so much love. Maxx and Logan are struggling in a different way this time and I love this different dynamic. The story is amazing, my emotions were right on the edge and I cannot recommend this series enough.

Loved the "Catch Up"

I loved how we got to see into the lives of the now " adult " lives of everyone. I really enjoyed this book. I have always loved these characters. Great job!

[Sybil Pun · Rating 5 out of 5]

Whoa, this is gonna be hard but in the favorite Kellars say "I got you"

So finally I am not gonna have my dose of the Kellars, specially Maxx, Logan and Little bit then again Jude and Grace did an awsome add ins... This is going to be hard, saying goodbye, saying forever goodbye and not ever hearing any of the Kellars say "I got you any more". Man....so...
Maxx Kellar, have you grown a little bit (a little bit more than Logan) but you almost lost me there just like Jude. I don't think you would have lost Logan, but me and Jude were almost a goner. I mean it was so fine when it was Logan in trouble, but you did epic proportion fails when you actually choose wrong and for that you disappointed me, book nerd, so disappointed.
Logan Kellar, man how have you grown. Geez there is hope still for this kind of the population because you have kind of saved Dean as well. Your maturity and humbleness and dedication and undying love for Maxx, the kids and everyone, was so awsome, so on point, so right that you scored so many brownie points nothing was the same.
Luke nurse man, you will still be my favorite health conscious but baby did you get worst over the age or what? And Stuart my dear you don't seem you are helping out...
CJ and Erin, boy you two..well actually Erin, you are the best BFF, the best aunt and it actually break my heart that you don't have the motherly instinct towards your mini me Nay, but hopefully you will remedy this because you are a conquerer and an achiever so a little itsybitsy thing can't frighten you now.... CJ you are still you and a sweet delight now...
Tony and Lex, well am so not happy that you are the ones to have the twins (I still wanted Max to have that), but I guess it's ok. Unfortunately MS. Neal didn't give us enough material for your area (and it's ok because this is not a couple that sparks anything in me), so I am just going to say "we got you"...
And the kids: Dean stay sweet (well now that you are a papa and married man) but stay sweet and funny. Little bit, girlfriend I didn't think it could have been possible but an Erin and Logan put together is murder and you are girlfriend ten times (maybe JD will be able to tame that). Jude and Grace, you guys couldn't be more than so sweet and so gentle. Stay like that because everyone "got you". Alex please get away from your dad now...too polite, too nice, too much...
Wow I truly can't believe that this is over and I missed it sooo much already.
Oh I almost forgot about Caroline and Mike, man can I have parents like them too. Funny how none of these families had a pet, hummm wonder why?
That said, please, please, pretty pwease MS. Sneaky Neal DO NOT do anything on these children, I will not be able not reading it and I will be double mad to read about the adults again, so please again pwease no🙏🙏🙏🙏 !!!
Thank you again for a great series...

Soooo goood

I can't believe I read the whole series in about 5 days. I can't wait to read about the kids adventures now that they've grown up. Maxx and Logan are an amazing couple watching them go from stubborn to madly in love with each other was beautiful. It truly makes my heart warm. Not often i driven out reviews but this one including all the others in the series deserve recognition. I laughed and cried. Truly an amazing story.

Oh how I loved this family so very much!
The trials and tribulations that all the characters went though was awe inspiring to say the least, but at the end of the day if all comes down to family. I'm Kind of sad that this is the end of this series but I have a sneaky suspicion that we just MAY see the next gen... or so I hope!!
