Unbeloved (Undeniable #4)By: Madeline Sheehan5/5 starsMadeline Sheehan does it again! This woman seriously rocks!! I admit that I was unsure of how this book would play out, was pleasantly shocked & loved it. Especially with the history between Dorothy & Jase and Dorothy & Hawk and the Hells Horsemen of Miles City, Montana.Unbeloved is the story of Dorothy and her men, Jase and Hawk. Through the first 3 books in this series, we know of Dorothy & Jase’s long-term affair, spanning 17 years. Dorothy was totally in love with Jase and Jase definitely had feelings for her, though it may have been more obsession, possession and lust. Dorothy was officially labeled as a club whore, but she wasn’t. She belonged to Jase and Jase only.We know that Jase’s wife Chrissy shot Dorothy at a club picnic when Dorothy was 8 months pregnant with her son Christopher. And then come to find out at the hospital, Dorothy’s son was Hawk’s, not Jase’s. Dorothy had finally grown tired of Jase’s games and his lying promises that he would leave his wife for her.The subsequent years after Dorothy was released from the hospital and trying to regain her memory and rebuild her life, she shut both Jase and Hawk out of her life. She allowed Hawk to remain in and be a part of their son’s life. But she suffers from the guilt of her affair with Jase, the guilt of the destruction that their affair caused, Chrissy ending up in prison, Jase becoming an alcoholic and not having a good relationship with his daughters, and the tension that her secret affair with Hawk had caused within the club between the brothers.There were circumstances that brought Dorothy back to Miles City, where she finally discovered or realized the truths about herself and her life. She was able to face her past, her fears and start looking forward to the future. Whether you’re Team Jase or Team Hawk, there is a lot that they all have to work through so that they can move forward. I am Team Dorothy.I absolutely loved seeing the interactions between all the club members and the old ladies. We got to see a lot of Deuce (yay!!) and Eva, Kami & Cox, Ripper & Danny and of course Cage & Tegen. I especially loved the interactions between Preacher and Deuce!! I wouldn’t mind if Ms. Sheehan took the series farther, with the books about the kids of the Hells Horsemen.The only semi-spoiler that I’ll give is that this book isn’t a love triangle throughout the whole book, which I was a little concerned about, I didn’t want a book that was just about angsty drama. Situations are faced head on and dealt with.I’m really excited for UnDeserving which is Preacher’s story, in the beginning of how he came to be the man he is that we know and love. And the epilogue which is a lead in for ZZ’s book, UnDying, was intense!! I’m stoked!! The book ends at 91% with previews of two other books.
