There’s is only one word comes to mind and that is WOW!! Jessie Keane has done it again. Created characters that you both love and hate in equal measures. One of the Best books I’ve read in a long time.
This was absolutely b......rill......iant!!!!! But then I've always adored Jessie Keane. From the very first word I just knew it was going to be a fantastic book. It kept me up at night because I just couldn't put it down. Thanks Netgalley and Bookouture for allowing me to read this book. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Yet another brilliant read by Jessie!
Couldn’t wait to get to the end. Tissues were needed but can see why it had to be. Still was such a great read
I have enjoyed all of Jessie Keane’s books and this one certainly packs a punch.
Claire Milo and Josh Flynn are childhood sweethearts, they are going to get married but Claire doesn’t like the way Josh earns his living, he is a bare knuckle fighter and although Claire loves Josh she is unsure of what she wants. Shauna Everett wants Josh Flynn and will do anything to get him away from Claire.
The story follows Claire, Josh and Shauna over a 20 year period where Shauna gets her man, causing mayhem in her attempts to keep him.
A fast paced compelling book with excellent characters, it has plenty of drama, obsession, lost love with several twists along the way. An excellent read which I highly recommend.
Having read most of Jessie Keane’s books before, I was looking forward to reading this latest release and it did not disappoint!
Fearless is an amazing story. It's one of those books that pulls you in from the first page and does not let you go until long after you have finished the book.
The characters are really what made this book so brilliant, they are all complex characters with their own agendas. Shauna is a fantastic character, one I loved to hate! I also really loved Josh a fearless tough nut with a soft centre.
Jessie Keane has created another thrilling and riveting story full of suspense, tension and a brilliant plot line. Highly recommended!.
Thank you.
Another brilliant Jessie Keane book. Her usual style of grit, drama with a few twists added in was a pleasure to read. I loved the Romany side of this book and you can imagine the storyline happening all too often in real life. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone who enjoys this genre of book.
If you are a fan of Jessie Keane or English crime fiction you will love this book.
This was a fantastic read from start to finish with a few twists thrown in.
I do not give out many 5***** ratings as there does tend to be an issue with most stories but this one has you hooked from the first page, with a storyline of well over 500 pages I still read this book in less than three days, every time I wanted to put the book down something else happened so you want to continue reading.
1975 Josh and Claire are madly in love and happy living on the gypsy campsite, they are both happy with their lives except Claire wishes that Josh wouldn't do the bare knuckle fighting. But Josh has been brought up to do this for a living.
Shauna is also a Romany gypsy and lives on the same site, Shauna is obsessed with Josh and can't understand why Josh would prefer the blonde timid girl Claire, compared to her the raven haired beauty who is up for anything???
So Shauna becomes involved with the Cleaver family who are the local pig farmers with a terrible reputation, will Josh notice Shauna more???
This is a story of true love that goes on for ever, and another person's obsession that can destroy everything!!
Fast paced, really well written, well worth 5*****. Highly recommended!!
Absolutely by far the best yet !
Claire and josh were childhood sweethearts growing up in the Romany world along came shauna and ruined it all .shauna wanted josh Flynn the gypsy fighter and wil do anything to do so , even if it's the most despicable act ever with the cleaver boys .
Fast forward many years and their paths cross again and yet more tradegy. Then others start putting the pieces together and realise what shauna is really like .
Read this book until the early hours . Could not put it down . They get better and better
Cannot wait for the next book.
If you like Jessie Keane then read no further as this is classic Keane and you will LOVE it....
If you haven’t ever read a book by her then you should start!...this book is the usual high drama, suspense, action packed family drama that gives you 100% satisfaction in a book
The characters are instant, you love or hate them and as always they are colourful and irresistible....as is the story
This book is based on gypsy families and is a fascinating insight into their customs and way of life
There is EVERYTHING you want in a book in this errr book!! and it will leave you wanting more and I hope there is a second follow up book
There are sensitive subjects in the book but they are handled well but with no punches pulled!!
As always with Keanes books this could easily be a film or a drama series
I loved it and would recommend it for a thrill a page read
10/10 5 stars
Well, where do you start. One thing is certain with this author, Jessie Keane knows how to write a bloody good book. A book that will keep you gripped from the first chapter.
This book has it all, Love, hate, jealousy, revenge. Characters you'll love and root for and characters you'll hate so much you want to put your hands into your kindle and grab them out and throttle them.
When an author can make you have so many emotions reading a book, and love and hate the characters, then they've done a first class job.
Claire Milo- A quiet gypsy girl, in love with her sweetheart, a big fat gypsy wedding to look forward to and a new start. Until it all goes wrong. Her new start becomes something she really hadn't planned.
Josh Flynn- A gypsy fighter, and a damn good one, in love with Claire Milo, head over heels, and nothing can change that, although he's not to keen on the idea of the big f off wedding, he's still more than in love with his sweet Claire. But Claire just can't get her head around his fighting. It's not what she wants.
Shauna Everitt - Wants anything that isn't hers, namely Josh Flynn, she will go the extra mile to get his attention. A bit of tart, and a character I hated immediately. Her character is brilliantly done. I thoroughly hated her the whole way through the book. A very manipulative woman.
I loved this book, It's one of those books you have to keep (clicking) turning the pages, you are desperate to know what is happening with each person. I kept second guessing what was going to happen, but I kept getting it wrong. A believable story, well crafted and well told. This one will keep you reading for hours. It is well worth reading. Full of suspense that will keep you biting your nails as your reading.
Unable to review as for some reason this book does not appear on my kindle list I have tried numerous times first time this has ever happened with a NetGalley book and I’m not sure why.
This is a brilliant thriller with plenty going on. Even though his heart is elsewhere, I loved the way Shauna reels Josh in with her wicked lies. With the violence in the ring with bare knuckle fighting and the murders to protect those that get in the way, this book has it all.
I was hooked from the very first page. Not only does it get a full five stars from me but I have no hesitation in recommending it. Jessie Keane writes in a similar style to Mandasue Heller so you know it's going to be a brilliant read.
I received this book via NetGalley. This is my honest and unbiased review
Really enjoyed this latest Jessie Keane novel, full of all her usual tension and suspense. Loved the Romany characters.
The book was about Shauna Everett’s plainly about Josh Flynn.She wanted to marry him and got the Cleavers to help her by getting rid of Claire Milo.
It was a fantastic book .
Jessie Keane is one of my favourite authors she never disappoints her readers brilliant story Claire and josh sad story and a psycho woman no spoilers fans will not be disappointed highly recommend this book
. I have always been a big Jessie fan and have read all of her books, I didn't enjoy her last one much but this one was amazing!! It gripped me from page 1 and it kept me awake all night wanting to get to the end and see what happened.
The characters draw you in straight away and you follow them over many years in the book.
My favorite book of 2018 so far!!
Having read (and loved) all of Jessie Keane's books I was very keen to read this one. The book gives an insight into the world of gypsy's and Josh, a bare knuckle fighter. Josh is the King of the boxing ring and has his heart set on Claire, but Shauna has something to say about this and will go to whatever lengths necessary to get her hands on Josh. What follows is a rollercoaster of a tale which leaves your emotions all over the place. This is a gripping story and one that I found it very difficult to put down.
I’m a fan of Jessie Keane’s Work and this is as good as all the others.
You have two exceptionally strong women fighting over the love of one man. Claire and Josh seem destined to be until Shauna decides Josh is what she wants. All come from Romany families and the story spans from the 70’s until the 90’s as we follow the three main characters. Josh is a bare knuckle fighter and the tradition of this is shown both good and bad as he struggles to decide where his life should go.
I loved the characters and the imagery of a bygone era that Jessie manages to draw you into.
It is a tremendously well written novel that is worth losing some sleep over.

Absolutely fantastic book. I have read all of this authors books but this one has to be my favourite by far. The characters are amazing, with all the intrigue of the Romany culture. Excellent storyline with plenty happening. I loved how the book started in the 1970's and followed the characters through to the millennium. Would be great to see a sequel!
