Lawton Ridge Duet Series: Six Book Complete Set
A small-town romance duet series involving three best friends who find themselves while fighting for love and family. Keeping You Away & Needing You Close
Tyler's never forgotten about his first love-the only woman who's ever held his heart-Gemma Reid. When he starts working for her father's business, the last thing he anticipates is still having feelings for her. He's only ever wanted her to be happy, but she's engaged to a man who's all wrong for her, and now he can't stay away. Tyler risks everything to protect her, and hopefully, win her heart again. Pushing You Away & Holding You Close
Noah's in love with his best friend Katie, but it's a secret he keeps buried deep inside. When one night changes everything, she not only loses her husband, but her best friend too. After a decade of being alone, Katie realizes she can only depend on herself. While Noah's return is inevitable, she doesn't want to deal with him pushing his way back into her life, but she might not have a choice. He makes it clear he's staying and is dead set on proving he's always been the one for her.
Forcing You Away & Wanting You Close
Archer and Everleigh might be roommates, but there's more bubbling under the surface. While Archer's tired of forcing her away, he also doesn't want to betray his best friend and Everleigh's brother. Eventually, she breaks down his walls and can no longer deny what they both want. After the two admit their true feelings, trouble finds them. Archer refuses to let anyone or anything stand in the way of their happiness-regardless if he could lose it all-because Everleigh's a risk worth taking.

This is one of the best boxsets you can buy! All 3 couples are fantastic reads as Kennedy Fox can do no wrong!!
Keeping You Away & Needing You Close
This story was amazing! So many surprises I didn't see coming! So many emotions! One moment I was giddy and happy and the next I was like WTF! I wasn't sure what I was reading! Kennedy Fox hit it out of the park with this one. I couldn't put it down. It was perfect! I loved the angst and forbiddenness between Tyler and Gemma. There's this pull between them even though it’s been years since they were together. Love his sister and all the girl friends that give Gemma so much support.
Pushing You Away & Holding You Close
Noah has been in love with his best friend since they were very young and lost his chance. Now he's back and isn't going to lose her again. Katie never told Noah how she felt and decides to give him another chance. I loved these two. I love their story. I wish it was easier on both of them, but so glad they're getting a second chance. This book has all the feels. I choked up a few times. So much is going in in this book and I am here for it. I loved Noah and Katie’s story. They both went through so much in their lives and they finally get their happy ending.
Forcing You Away & Wanting You Close
Holy wow. Archer may be my new book boyfriend. He's gorgeous, insanely sweet and a lot of fun. The chemistry between him and Everleigh is intense. They hit it off from the beginning and their bond just gets stronger. Archer and Everleigh go through so much. It just goes to show how love can only make them stronger. These ladies are phenomenal. I absolutely love their books. They bring these characters to life for so many. I'm sad to see this series end, they were just that good. Men that can go to prison for protecting a loved one is a huge bonus to who they are as a people, and I've loved them all.

This is such a great series that I plan on rereading again! The characters and story lines keep you so involved that you can't put it down! Although this series can be read as a standalone, to get the full backstories of their friends and family I'd recommend reading the Roommate and Checkmate series first 🥰
