Beckett Taylor’s quest to be a better man has brought Eve Hartt back into his life, but sometimes it feels like they’re bound together with barbed wire. Though he longs to love her without causing pain, the wreckage of their past continues to crash down around them.
Yet with the help of this brothers—and for his brothers—Beckett won’t stop trying. He’s determined to make them all a family, to make a life they want to live, and to make Poughkeepsie a place that’s safe to live it.
He can feel their futures balanced precariously on his shoulders: Blake and Livia and their children, Cole and Kyle and the new baby they’ve just brought home, and Eve…always Eve. He wants their dreams to be real. But murderers don’t just get Happily Ever After handed to them. They have to wrench it away from Satan himself.
Good thing Beckett is prepared to do just that. After all, saving Poughkeepsie is the only way his story ends.

Excerpt:
“I’m not worried about tomorrow. I’m worried about right now, with you, under this Christmas tree.” Blake supported her neck as he laid her on the floor. Livia turned her head. “You’d better convince me. So far you’ve talked about the dog going to the bathroom, trash, and dirtiness.”
Blake kissed her jaw and turned her head gently, kissing her mouth as she bit her
lips together.
“Can’t I just convince you with my manly ways?” He wiggled his eyebrows.
He could, of course, do just that—but she shook her head. She loved the playful sparkle in his green eyes. His five o’clock shadow just made him more handsome, framing his kissable lips with scruff.
“Okay.”
He put his fingers at the bottom of her shirt, lifting it gently so he could circle her belly button with his index finger. “You’re the sexiest, most beautiful woman on this planet. So sexy, in fact, that I had to have you. I had to make you bear my children because my universe and yours had to be combined. Everything I’ve ever been needed to be buried inside of you, so deep, so full of love that we created life. Twice.”
He lifted her shirt and kissed the tops of her breasts, whispering his devotion into her skin. “And it’s never enough. Unless I can hear you coming, I can’t think of anything else. All day every day. For years now. You’re that powerful, Livia. This. Us. It’s so intense that years haven’t cured me. I can’t stop wanting to make love to you.”
“Wow.”
Livia smiled and pulled his face back to hers, kissing him and effectively stopping his beautiful words.
I love the series so much and I am absolutely devastated now it is all over! This final instalment is as action packed and full of romance as the prior two but what an ending to an amazing series!
I love Beckett, Cole and Blake so hard and I am so badly going to miss their “Brotherhood” and the crazy world that comes with it. The final chapter of their story though truly left me content, satisfied and sad all in one go! The Brothers have their Happy Ever Afters and boy do Beckett and Eve get their own version of happy ever after but in true Poughkeepsie style it is so unique and as far from a normal HEA as you can get, but it’s theirs! And I absolutely love it!
I have said this once and I will say to again but this series holds a really special place in by “Book Heart”! It is my go to read when I’m in a book funk and I was kind of nervous to read Saving Poughkeepsie, mainly because I honestly didn’t believe that there could be an ending to his series that would make me happy and draw a line under the characters i’ve come to love and feel part of. But Debra has blown me away and I try cannot say enough good things about how brilliant Saving Poughkeepsie is.
Beckett is the bad boy with the biggest heart and from day one I have doubted that he could forge the life he wanted for him and his “brothers”. Too many things have been against him and when his brothers settle down one by one, his HEA and future seem too far gone to be rescued.
He falls hard when he falls in love and not only with the one person who could bring him to his knees but also with the one person he has ruined too. It has seemed too impossible to imagine that they could both ever have what they both wished for but the magic of Poughkeepsie (and the creative explosion that must reside in Debra’s brain!) shows us that every one deserves a shot at it!
Yet another brilliant plot and fast paced action bring together everyone and ties up alt the loose ends with a spectacular ending! Poughkeepsie too is under threat and to give the “Brothers” and their new families a chance, Beckett and Eve find themselves on the biggest mission yet – to save the town and secure all of their futures. It’s explosive, heartbreaking, passionate, and downright gripping and it gave me yet another sleepless night as I had to finish it in one sitting!
This book and series deserves far more than five stars and not only has this book totally nailed it but its broken me now i think for a long time for any other book out there!!!
Fantastic end to an amazing series! Thank you Debra for bringing the Brotherhood to our imaginations and for letting Beckett, Cole and Blake make it despite the odds!
