Truly Mine by Kennedy Fox (Roommate Duet #3, Mason & Sophie #1)

🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻

Kennedy Fox has once again clamped my heart in a vise with Truly Mine. Only start reading this book when you have enough time allotted to do anything else until you've finished, and even then, you'll need some recovery time.

I absolutely LOVED this book (even though I have a countdown on my phone until the next one is released), it's a true KF book! With the Roommate Duet series, as soon as a new book hits my Kindle, I drop whatever my plans were and dive right in.

Truly Mine should be read AFTER Baby Mine/Baby Yours, as the characters are still in heavy play throughout this book. I enjoyed being able to see the interactions between the characters in the previous story as well, since there's flashbacks from various periods of time.

Mason has the entire world on his shoulders and is just trying to do what he thinks is best for everyone. Watching his try to deal with his past, all while telling himself that he'll never be good enough, was heart breaking.

Meanwhile, you have Sophie, who can't pine over the one who got away forever, even though she has no clue why things were so right for one night, and then he pulled a complete 360.

Fair warning: the scenes with Weston are tough to read (in my case I listened, and had to take a break a few times at work), but it's not a huge part of the book.

This story absolutely wrecked me and I'm still reeling from it, even though it's been a few days now. Luckily, I caught on to the subtle hints during this one, so I wasn't blown completely off guard this time, but holy cow do the authors know how pack a punch for their readers!

Summary:
The night we met in a dimly lit bar, she looked like a brunette bombshell, and I wanted to learn her deepest secrets. With sun-kissed skin and soulful bedroom eyes, she was pure temptation, and I was mesmerized.

As one drink led to two, I craved more of her playful banter and taunting lips. Resisting her wasn't an option, and we quickly became a desperate mess of tangled limbs and hot kisses. She tasted like the sweetest sin, but I was no saint.

Once we caught our breaths, and it became obvious that meeting her wasn't a coincidence, everything changed. Now I must deny her at all costs.

Friends. It's all we can ever be.

After years of lying to myself and keeping her at a distance, I want to pull her close. Sophie's on my mind more than ever as my instincts to protect her take over. Regardless of my attempts to help, she pushes me away and makes it clear she doesn't need me.

I'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, to show her I'm the good guy, but one night takes a tragic turn for the worse when her boyfriend and I start throwing punches.

And ends when I'm arrested for his murder.
