Her stories are based on the relationships that define our lives - compassionate, emotionally gripping, and uplifting novels with true to life characters, that stay with her readers long after the last page is turned.
Her varied, not always pleasant background has given her the personal experience to take her readers on an emotional, sometimes heart wrenching, journey through her stories.
Brenda has been a struggling single mom, a survivor of domestic abuse, waitress, corrections officer, hostage negotiator and a corrections nurse. She is also a wife, mom, and grandmother. Even though her life was not always rainbows and butterflies, she is a survivor and believes her struggles have made her the person she is today.
Brenda is the author of the award winning book, Forever Country (The Rose Farm Trilogy Book 1).

In Brenda's own words, "I write series that end in cliffhangers, because I love them. I always give away the first book in each series so you have nothing to lose by reading it."
She was born and raised in Zanesville, Ohio and moved to SW Florida in 2006 with her husband Rex. They have a combined family, and she often jokes about not remembering what child belongs to who.

I was gifted an ARC of this book from the author and here is my honest review. I am starting to cry just thinking of how I want to word my review. I don't usually write any spoilers but I have to warn you that there might be a few in this review. I don't think it can be helped. This is the third book in The Freedom Trilogy and for me, the best of the three. I encountered every emotion possible when reading this book.. sadness, happiness, anger, confusion, hysteria, love and so many, many more. There are so many key points to the book that had me laughing or crying or sighing. I love that the book is written not from the main character or from the two main characters point of views but from practically all of the main characters. I think there are parts that only they can discuss and that is what the author does and I love it. I have never seen that in a book before but thought it was very important to the plot developement. I really don't want to spoil it for anyone but I wanted to point out a few of my favorite parts. As far as Max, the hero that died for out country, boy did I have a hard time saying goodbye to him. I literally sobbed. Also the first letter that Molly got from Bobby, wow, talk about emotional. And the school shooting is something that would affect anyone but I reside close to a school that is mentioned in the book and was national news after a horrendous incident not too long ago. For all of the crying I did, I did an equal amount of laughing, if not more. The book signing was hilarious and when Alec talked about the mushrooms, I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard. There are so many other amazing parts of this book and dare I say I can't wait for a "Magical Christmas"??? I wish I could give this book much more than five stars. It is wonderful and I recommend it to anyone who likes to laugh, cry and live happily ever after. Thank you Brenda.

I can't wait to get my hands on this book!!! Not so patiently waiting......
Finally downloaded book 3. I can't wait to dive into it. I know I will finish it before the night is over!! =)
***Well, I finished the 3rd book. While it was a great book I had a hard time continuing to read it. First around page 40 or so with the little bit about being a good parent and getting their child vaccines. I almost stopped reading there and then. I don't want the whole vaccine debate in the book I am reading. I kept going for it to be brought up yet again in much more detail. You see my daughter almost died FROM getting her vaccines as a newborn. She almost died from a decision I made for her. Let me tell you what it is like to watch your new baby girl fading from this life. After a picu stay and many weeks of pain and crying she recovered. I don't want to read about vaccines in a fiction novel where it was not part of the main story. I am really disappointed in it and it completely ruined the book for me.

Where do I begin, once again Brenda has made another masterpiece! I love reading Brenda’s books not only does she draw you into her characters and make you love them but she adds new people to each one of her books and you get to watch them grow and fight through their own struggles. Emma and Alac have been through so much no only by themselves but as a family. If I had to choose two words to best describe Mending Hearts it would be “closure” and “happiness”. Brenda has a great way of throwing curve balls at you halfway through the book, where you think the characters are never going to find peace in their lives, but don’t let that foul you, things always turn around in the end. Mending hearts will have you laughing, crying, and best of all smiling. I don’t want to give too much away so if you’re ready to read the perfect book to end an amazing trilogy Mending Hearts is it! Thank You Brenda for letting me be one of your Beta Readers it is always a pleasure!

I had the pleasure of beta reading this for Brenda and just like all her other books this one is another winner in my opinion. This is the dramatic conclusion to the Shattered Hearts trilogy. Told in multiple POVs this book will answer all of the questions we were left with at the end of book two. You will laugh,cry and have some OMG moments but that's to be expected from Brenda she likes to keep you on the edge of your seat when reading her books. Perfect ending to another perfect trilogy. Defitnely worth more then five stars. Looking forward to more wonderful stories from this awesome author.

Where do I begin. I loved this book. It was beautifully written. Brenda Kennedy did what she does best, had u in tears with all the twists in turns then wrapped it up the way that it should have been.
Alec and Emma are ready to start their new lives but along the way there were some things that needed to be taken care of. There are plot twists and things that happen that will have you balling your eyes out w a box of Kleenex. Overall it was a great read and I highly recommend it. Trust me you will thank me later.

I love this book so much it is my all time favorite Brenda Kennedy books. I love and admire Brenda's story telling ability. I have not yet been able to put down any of her books once I read the first page. She is so discriptive with her words that you can almost smell what she smells and see what she sees. Just when I think that her books can't get any better, she goes and exceeds them all. I will never stop reading, recommending, or loving her books. Congradulations Brenda Kennedy on yet another amazing book. I can't wait to read more of your work.
March 4, 2015
This is my favorite trilogy from this author. If you think you know what will happen in this book then let me tell you, you don't. I find absolutely amazing how this story has so much love and compassion, now in days that's hard to find. In this last book we get to see different point of views and see what becomes of all the characters. The name "Mending hearts" is a true fit to this book.

This is final book in the Freedom Trilogy and the one word I would use is - closure, to sum it all up.
By now you will have read my reviews of 1 and 2 so you have rough idea of how we left things off, and since you guys know I don't like to post spoilers I am afraid that there may be a few in this review.
We start where we left off with, Molly in the hospital after an overdose. Now part of me wanted her to "die" because off all the hell she has put Alec through, then Emma, when she came back on the scene, but I am glad the author went down the other route.
Molly enlists Emma's help to get clean, now Emma could have turned her down, but she had a visit form her late husband telling her someone will need her help. This book follows Molly's journey to becoming clean as well as Alec and Emma's relationship during this time.
What I loved about this book was how we to read from each characters point of view, and I mean every character. And whilst that may not be the norm in most books - usually you just have the main characters, for this book I feel it was necessary and added to the closure of this series.
This book had you go through every emotion - you will laugh, cry, be angry and it is all worth it. slight spoiler but I bubbled like a baby when Emma finally said goodbye to Max, it was done beautifully though.
A brilliant end to a brilliant trilogy and I am glad I had the pleasure to read and review books.

The absolute PERFECT ending to a beautiful, genuine and heartfelt story.
Emma and Alec FINALLY get the HAPPILY EVER AFTER they more than deserve. Emma shows how big her heart is by doing what most wouldn't; she helps Alec's ex-wife Molly. In the process Molly seems to find a purpose to life, to happiness and in turn not only finds herself but find the strength she needs to fight to stay clean. Her love for her daughter is just the focus she needs.
Alec, falls even harder for Emma and realizes that women like her are rare. He finally realizes that love,a genuine love actually exists and he will make sure to cherish it. He leaves the hospital to become a partner with his friends practice and this works so much better for him, since he is a family man now. The way Alec shows his love for Emma in the things he does for her is swoon worthy.
The book does have a dramatic moment that works perfectly into the story. Brenda Kennedy does an amazing job once again. This is a MUST READ SERIES.

An amazing ending to a heartwarming series.
Loved that the passion, tenderness, and love was still going strong with Emma and Alec in this final book. They are such a sweet sexy couple.
It was so wonderful to read about the trust and caring between them that allowed them to believe in each other enough to open their hearts (& family) to his ex-wife, her former lover, and her new boyfriend. By providing such a supportive network, I think really helped all of them become more caring individuals.
I loved how Emma & Alec faced their fears and dangers and stayed true to each other (& kids) and did not take the easy way out. Even faced with things they didn't want to do they would do what was best for their family.
I really thought the book signing trip was so cute, I liked how the author put herself there.
I also like that we got to see everyone again plus new friends and a last visit from Max that was touching. Wish we could have had more time with Max before he died. It seems like he was an amazing guy.
Another wonderful, teary, heartwarming, and downright superb read!!!!!

Favorite Quotes:
“I love coffee. If politicians were to ever make it illegal, I would go to the bad part of town and ask, ‘Is anyone selling any Columbian?’”
“…I don’t like salads. My idea of something green that’s good to eat is lime Jell-O.”
“Girl, you act like you have never gotten your freak on with Mr. Kung Fu before,”
My Review:
A sweet, gentle, and fitting end to a gentle yet bittersweet trilogy. If only people were that insightful, forgiving, thoughtful, considerate, and kind in real life. I was starting to think it wasn’t possible - but I have finally read a Brenda Kennedy book that did not end in a cliffhanger. I have enjoyed her sweet characters and the story line, and found it humorous that she poked a bit of fun at herself by having her characters meet her at a book signing and even called herself the queen of cliffhangers. I like people who don’t take themselves so seriously.

Another amazing read, the perfect conclusion to the Freedom Trilogy.
In Shattered Hearts we met and fell in love with both Emma and Alec, their children and struggled with the tragedies they survived.
In Broken Lives we saw their lives get flipped upside down and everything they had been building was threatened.
And finally with Mending Hearts we get the end of the story. The much anticipated finale to Alec, Emma, Raelynn, James and Molly's lives are all changing and with a little help, trust, faith and understanding they can all come through it in one piece.
Mending Hearts will make you laugh and make you cry, it's another emotional read but in the best of ways.
Until Shattered Dreams I'd never read the author, and I had no clue what I was missing out on!
I feel privileged to have had the chance to review this series for Ms Kennedy and look forward to seeing more from her in the future.

This book concludes the love story started in Shattered Dreams. And as with all her other stories I read it in one sitting. And I loved the way it ended. Just once I start it I have to find out how it ends. With all the twists and plots she introduces you think you know where the story goes, but still you are only guessing. I love the new characters she brings into this story because you know that even tho this story is ending you will be able to pick up a little more about these people in her next book because they are connected. Personally I love stories that just continue, maybe in different paths with different people but the old friends show up and its a reunion. I really hate to say goodbye to the people you started caring for, and with Brenda's books I don't have to. Thanks Brenda for another enjoyable read.

What a Wonderful Series
Love how this series ended Alex, Emma, James and Raelynn what a love this family had for each other - shows how love can heal all kinds of hurt in one's life - losing a parent through death or some other outside influence is hard and to be able to move on and find love again is amazing. Emma has such a big heart to be able to allow the ex into her life and home, but what a testament to showing how to be an extremely loving person. Can't wait for the story of the others.

I was gifted a ARC copy of Mending Hearts and I have to say it was a truly beautiful story from start to finish.. The whole series has been phenomenal Brenda is a very gifted author. This a book that you will definitely want in your library.
March 29, 2015
Perfect ending to their story. Such sweet love. Loved watching them all heal and grow through their love for each other. Loved watching Molly and Bobby getting help and finding peace. Brenda did it again with another lovely book.

I really enjoyed this trilogy. However for this final book I felt as though it ended a little too neatly. That is why I took a star off of my rating.
May 18, 2015
This is the third and final book of this fantastic trilogy called The Freedom Trilogy. I fell completely in love with all these characters and their problems since the very first book and I couldn't get enough of these characters. This book deserves much more than 5 stars!!!
This book brought forth much more emotion from me but in a good way. I have watched Emma's world crash and she had to pick herself up and push forward for the sake of her son James. I have loved watching how Emma has grown since the first book until this one. In this one Emma has learned how to move forward and finally enjoy her life again. She never thought she would find love again but not only did she find a guy who loves her but loved her son just as his own. It brought tears to my eyes watching how she grew and found the gold at the end of the rainbow but knowing that Max would be with her always. Emma is my favorite character for me. I related to her and her feelings. James is her world and never does she do anything without thinking or asking James what he thinks about it. That's a true mom, always putting her son first. Then she takes Raelynn into her heart and helps her get through all that happens to her in this book. I would love to see a book of Raelynn and how she felt and handled everything that happened to her. Raelynn is a fighter just like her mom. James will turn out fantastic. He has Alec to look up to as a father but knowing that Max will always be James guarding angel puts a big smile on my face.
After I read this final book, I know I will be forever changed. I am going to miss everyone in this book because I felt a part of their lives even though it was on paper but Brenda Kennedy can take characters from the page and put them into your mind where you can't forget them, at least for me because each and everyone of these special people will always have a special place in my heart. All the characters have grew into themselves but not without helping their friends grow. Thank you Brenda Kennedy for bringing these people into my heart and brain. Hurry go get yourself a copy of this book and the others also if you haven't read them because you won't be able put any of them down until you turn the very last page in this very last book. Thank you!

I was gifted an ARC for an honest review. This is the third and final book in the Freedom Trilogy #3 by Author Brenda Kennedy.
First, let me start out by saying, I loved this series from the start to the end. To see the journey Emma and Alec went through from the start with the ups and downs. We start off with Emma and Alec at the hospital due to Molly overdosing on drugs. What I loved about Emma is she was so strong for the whole family when a few tragic events have this whole family coming together as one. I’m not going to lie, I cried when an event happens with the kids. It makes you think about what the most important things in life are. We get to see that Emma and Alec get there happily ever after and are able to have a family of their own. Also, it was so good to see Molly finally get control over her addiction to become a better mother to her daughter. She gets her happily ever after when she didn’t expect it at all. In this book you get the drama, love and a storyline that will keep you engaged from the first page to the last page in this book. I’m so sad it’s over, but can’t wait to see what Brenda writes next.
Don’t think about it just go one-click this book today and enjoy this series as much as I’ve truly have been. You won’t know how good it is until you try something new. Thanks again Author Brenda Kennedy for giving us a fantastic series.

I don't know where to begin... Brenda has blown me away with this whole series!! Mending Hearts gives us a beautifully crafted closure to such an amazing series!! I think I have cried more while reading this series than with any other series! The emotions that this book & series has pulled out of me was so intense!! It says so much when a book can do something like that, let alone a series!! Finishing this book was so bitter-sweet! I had to know what was going to happen but at the same time I didn't want it to end!!
Brenda I applaud you!! This book was perfect!! The twists that had me so emotionally charged & the happy parts that made my heart beyond happy!!! Absolutely amazing!!!

I was given a complimentary copy by author Brenda Kennedy for an honest review. This is book 3 of Freedom Trilogy series by the author.
Molly makes a disastrous decision after another and now it almost almost cost but she asks Emma for help. Emma and Alex prepare for their future and their wedding. Hopefully things will work out for them on all fronts.
WOW this story is very well written with some great characters. The author wrote a clean and smooth flowing story line in this book.
This is for any mature romance book lover out there. This story starts where book 2 ends so it is best to read the books in order.

While I did enjoy book one and two this third book took a drastic turn for me, did not like how rushed it felt like it had to be wrapped up fastly. I also did not like the way every single person just turned out perfectly fine and accepted one single apology and all was right and dandy again, everyone turns into everyone's best friend all wrapped in a pretty bow. Again I felt the author rushed through this just to end the series with a little too much happily ever after. Then everyone gets a pov at the end and I mean everyone, some who were only briefly mentioned in the entire series?! Not a good series ending in my opinion.

So, I really liked these books. Great series. Very clean. All sexual activity was behind closed doors. I liked the characters. I thought the author got on a little tangent with several topics. Almost too much. And several times I thought there were long details, too much. However, great writing, and good twists. There were only a couple cuss words in the last book, but I don't remember any in the other books. Character were a little too good. A little unrealistic. I would read more from this author.

Emma didn't think she would be able to love someone again until she met Alec. Though life has given them a run for their money Alec comes with some baggage. Emma loves his daughter Raylynn, but she also got his crazy druggie ex. When Molly overdoses she wants to get help, but Alec has heard this so many times he doesn't want to believe again.
Can Emma and Alec overcome another Molly moment or will this be the end of it all?!

All good things must come to an end
Although some of the writing seemed stilted this was still a very good series. Alec and Emma stole my heart from the beginning. They went through a lot to be together. Molly was determined to be better for her child. Life is full of choices and we don't always choose the right ones. Our only hope is that we get the help we need to be better. I loved all the secondary characters. They made the book even better.

I loved this series, however I felt alittle disconnect with this book! I am not sure if it was all the different POVs. I wished there was alittle more Max as well... I always enjoyed the dreams when Max came to visit...
