Pushing You Away by Kennedy Fox (Ex-Con Duet series #3)

 

💜💜💜💜💜

Another epic duet from Kennedy Fox! Pushing You Away was over way too soon for me, but that could also be due to the fact that I've been anxious for Noah's story ever since reading Tyler & Gemma's duet.

Every time I go into book 1 of a KF duet, I know I'm in for a roller coaster ride, and this one was no different. With plenty of character building and trying to correct past wrongs, you'll fall in love with the Katie and Noah along the way.

I'm still questioning how everything ties in, cuz I'm a nut like that, and try to figure the villain out. I'm just proud that I called the crazy right away in one instance, but extremely nervous how everything is going to pan out in the next book.

Definitely counting down the days until Holding You Close releases, and I'm sure #@$% will hit the fan then! Don't miss this heart-stopping, romantic series that will leave your head spinning.

**While this duet can be read as a standalone, the previous duets are not required, but it's more enjoyable if you've read Gemma & Tyler's story in books #1 & 2.

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

I've been in love with my best friend Katie Walker for as long as I can remember. We may have shared our deepest, darkest secrets but that one I've kept to myself. Before I got the courage to confess my true feelings, my cousin Gabe moved to town and swept Katie off her feet.

I should've admitted how I felt but I couldn't -- especially once they got married.

When I caught Gabe cheating on his pregnant wife, I snapped. A deadly fight erupted and before I could comprehend what happened, I was charged with his murder and sent to prison.

The day I'm released, I go straight to Katie's house. But after pushing her away for a decade while I was behind bars -- she slams the door in my face -- wanting nothing to do with me.

While she's determined to pretend I don't exist, this time I'm not going anywhere.

PUSHING YOU AWAY is a slow burn, angsty friends to lovers romance with lots of small-town, Southern drama. It's book 1 in the Noah & Katie duet and must be read in order.

Needing You Close by Kennedy Fox (Ex-Con Duet Series #2)

❤❤❤❤❤

The breathless conclusion to a gripping duet! Needing You Close was worth the wait, but man is my head still spinning from the wild ride the authors take you on.

**If you haven't read Keeping You Away - STOP NOW, go read it and then you're good to binge this one too.

Tyler...I don't even know where to begin with him, he's gone through so much and the one person he wants to be with is finally back within reach, but all that is shattered just as quickly as it started.

Gemma's whole world revolves around her family and there isn't anything she wouldn't do to preserve the memory of her mother, or protect her father. Blackmail is an ugly weapon, and not often one you can find a way of escaping from.

I had actual chest pains while reading this book and I have to admit, I doubted a happily ever after from one of my favorite author duos for a few chapters (that felt like hours!)...so prepare your heart for some seriously crazy plot twists!

SUMMARY:

I never expected to see my first love again after he left me twelve years ago. Though I've moved on, working with Tyler is no easy task -- especially when he focuses his bedroom eyes on me. Flirting with the past is like playing with fire, and considering I'm engaged, I'm bound to get burned.

When the man I promised to marry reveals he's a wolf in sheep's clothing, I run to the safety of Tyler's strong arms. As we grow closer, so do our feelings. Threats and ultimatums are made, and the revelation of the truth is enough to bring me to my knees. I'll do whatever it takes to protect my family, even if it means shredding my heart.

Too dangerous, too unpredictable, too risky to handle alone -- we need each other now more than ever.

After our world nearly collapses, there's nothing left to do but take it back. Tyler and I team up to destroy the people who are determined to ruin our second chance at a happily ever after. Though our love is undeniable, I just hope it's enough. We'll fight until the end to be together -- regardless of who tries to get in our way.

Keeping You Away by Kennedy Fox (Ex-Con Duet Series #1)

❤❤❤❤❤

Y'all better buckle up for Tyler's story! Keeping You Away brings us Tyler's side of the story, which I've been waiting on pins and needles for since the previous duet.

Tyler sacrificed so much to help Liam and Maddie find their happily ever after, so it's only fair we get to follow along as he tries to get a fresh start in the pursuit of his own.

The best part of any Kennedy Fox series is the characters, who never fade into the background, and you'll fall in love with them all over again with each visit.

As usual, the amazing duo of Kennedy Fox (Courtney and Lyra) weave a tale that will draw you in, counting down the days until the conclusion is release. They have me bartering my soul for the next book in the series, this is bound to be my favorite duet of theirs yet.

SUMMARY:

I never planned on returning to Alabama, but circumstances brought me here after years of being gone. Though Lawton Ridge is my hometown, I was hesitant to go back because of her -- my sister's best friend. The last time we were together, she was eighteen, and I was a broken soldier transitioning to civilian life.

Gemma wrote to me while I was overseas and we developed a bond I hadn't anticipated. I crushed her heart the day I left, something I've never forgotten. But now that her dad is my new boss, life just got way more complicated.

Too sweet, too innocent, too good for a guy like me -- I should walk away again.

After serving five years in prison for something I didn't do, I trust no one, but Gemma gradually breaks down my walls and exposes the pain I've hidden underneath. For her own sake, I should keep my distance, but it's nearly impossible when I hear her sweet humming while I work and she slowly draws me back in. It's a battle I didn't train for, and one I'll lose if I don't keep my restraint -- especially since she's engaged to another man.

Summary:

College parties, beer, and one-night stands - that was my life.

Now, I hunt down criminals, ethically or not, but if no one's asking, then I'm not telling. Drinking and women are still included, though I can't seem to forget the girl who almost gave me her virginity. She would've until I realized she was too young, and I wasn't looking to get thrown into jail.

In a twist of fate, we're reunited, except she's no longer underage but still equally off-limits. After ignoring her relentless advances, she starts to wear me down. I only have so much willpower when she's around, running her smart mouth and showing off her impeccable dance moves.

Just when my restraint starts to crumble, my poor choices finally catch up with me, putting us both in danger.

There's no easy way to explain why I betrayed her, but I'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe - even if it means breaking her heart.

🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻

Truly Yours will make you cry, scream and swoon! This is book 2 of Mason & Sophie's duet, so you must read them in order, but be prepared, once you start, you won't be able to stop until you've finished them both.

I genuinely blocked out the ending of Truly Mine, so I had to read the last chapter again to refresh my memory before diving in to conclusion.

Kennedy Fox is a powerhouse duo that'll make you feel all the emotions, yet you'll thank them for it later.

Mason and Sophie have dynamic chemistry, but the timing is always off for them to pursue a relationship. They've both overcome tragic pasts, but together, they must face their greatest challenge so far.

Baby Yours: Hunter & Lennon by Kennedy Fox (Roommate Duet #2)

💛💛💛💛💛

A wonderful conclusion to the heart-wrenching duet that begins with Baby Mine, so you MUST read that one first before diving into Baby Mine. It's a brutal start, but so worth the journey.

While pretending to be a happily married couple, expecting a baby, watching Hunter hide his true feelings for Lennon, gutted me to the core. Knowing there were still secrets that could ruin any potential relationship, had me hanging on to every page with bated breath.

As all Kennedy Fox books, they'll take you on a ride that you're not sure you'll survive, but you find yourself begging to go anyway. The emotions that the authors poor into their books make it that much more emotional and real for the reader.

Final warning: This duet will definitely leave you with a book hangover. Be prepared with kleenex, chocolate and plenty of coffee for the morning after. I couldn't go to sleep for over an hour after finishing this duet, and I loved every damn minute of it!

The worst day of my life happened when Brandon died.
We had our entire future mapped out.

Then the universe threw a curveball and ended it all.

As I come to terms with everything, I learn I'm carrying his baby. Now I'm living with his roommate, the guy who's made my life a living hell the past two years. Hunter's now the one to hold me up when all I want to do is fall.

Knowing my religious parents will never accept the pregnancy out of wedlock, Hunter offers to be my fake husband. While I think he's gone crazy, it's the only plan that'll keep them in my life. So I do whatever it takes to make our relationship believable - kissing, touching, even letting him hold me when we sleep. The lines are so blurred, neither of us want to admit we're no longer pretending.

Arrange Me by Katy Regnery (The Arranged Duo #1)

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

For the last year, Courtney Jane Salinger has had one bad date after another. Finally ready to be done with the humdrum of dating, she discovers a service that matches up people ready for marriage.

Josh Dalton has been watching Courtney come into the bar every Friday with her best friend for the last year. He flirts freely, but dating a customer is definitely on his list of things he won't do.

As a bartender, Josh hears a lot of things, but he never expected to discover that Courtney signed up to be married to a complete stranger! He can't deny that he cares about her, but marriage is definitely not anything he's remotely ready for, so he's forced to be her friend and support her choice.

Arrange Me is the perfect blend of humor and romance! While it's the first in a book duo, you're definitely given a happy ending, but with the promise of more to come in the sequel. Katy Regnery is one of my favorite authors and I highly recommend this book, especially to anyone who's been through the misery of dating, lol.
