A fast, delightful read. I loved watching the friendship grow between these two, the sexual tension was 👌🏻. I love it when I got to see two characters pin for each other like these two.

Archer is a sweetheart and so hot, lorddd. And Everleigh is just something else, I absolutely lovedddd her! She’s so fun and her little games🙌🏻

The suspense heightens in the second part, the chemistry between the characters continues to be scorching, the love is beautiful. And I gotta say Archer has got to be the sexiest, dirtiest KF hero! And he is also incredibly sweet and romantic!

I loved these two’s journey, even though they do not have it easy at all when it comes to things outside their relationship. It’s hardship after hardship. Incident after incident. My heart hurt for these two, specially Everleigh. But she is so strong and badass. I love her! She’s fun, adventurous as hell, and a sweetheart. Honestly, I loved both main characters a whole lot. They definitely became new favs from KF.

Only Mine wrapped up this series beautifully. We get to see the other two couples super happy and achieving amazing milestones in their lives. It was very heartwarming to read some of those scenes.

i love everleigh and archer so much!

archer is everleigh’s brother’s bff and she kindly offers to let him stay with her when he’s new in town and needs a helping hand. everleigh’s brother warns them both not to let anything happen between them but their chemistry is undeniable.

everleigh is a girl after my own heart. she swears too much, shares too much, and is a self-proclaimed maneater.

archer’s literally the sweetest hero ever, down to wearing matching christmas sweaters with her and her dog to make ev happy.

this book, like the rest of the series, has a suspense plot line as well which always make the book fly by and each couple faces lots of ups and downs and issues together.

this was such a good, fast read and i was rooting for them from like page 1!

I recently listened to Only Mine by Kennedy Fox, the third book in the Only One series, and is brother’s best friend romance. Narrated by Lia Langola and Tor Thom, they brought Archer and Everleigh to life for me. Everleigh was such an amazing character and I loved her. She was independent and strong. Archer is ready to start his second chance and I loved how protective and caring is. The chemistry between them is undeniable and steamy. But her brother, Tyler, has made her off limits, so Archer should stay away, right? And yet the pull between them was always there. I loved their banter and how they interacted. Add in some suspense and you have another amazing story by this writing duo. I was captivated from start to finish and highly recommend this book and series.

Happy listening!

Archer is out of prison and is getting a second chance at life thanks to his friend, Tyler. His new roommate is Tyler’s sister, Everleigh. Everleigh is hardworking, but she is also a little bit of a spicy disaster. Really, they are two people you’d never expect them to be roommates, let alone become friends. Yet, there is something that just clicks with them.

The chemistry between Archer and Everleigh is so perfect. The tension and the build up between the two of them is addictive. They are complete opposites yet they are also so perfect for each other. They are walking a fine line though and slowly creepy over it. Archer made a promise and he doesn’t want to break that, he doesn’t want to risk his second chance at life. Archer is insanely protective of her, even more so with everything that is going on in their lives. I love that Everleigh isn’t just going to sit back and hide. She isn’t afraid to fight back and she isn’t afraid to live her life.

The past has caught up to them, but can the overcome the skeletons in their closets and have the happily ever after that they deserve? Archer and Everleigh are both determined to fight back and find out who is tormenting and threatening them.

If you’re looking for a small town, suspenseful, spicy romance this is one to read!

OH MY GOD. I LOVED THIS BOOK. Definitely my favorite book of the series. I was dying to finally read Everleigh's story and it did NOT disappoint. She is a wild woman & I absolutely adored her (and her cute dog, Sassy). Independent, confident, unphased by men or women, and a bada$$ boutique owner, GO OFF QUEEN.

I knew Archer was going to steal my heart, and I was sooooo in love with Him. AND YALL. The chemistry (& tension) between him & Everleigh was phenomenal. They were a perfect couple. The story has you rooting for them the entire time!!

This book also brought some suspense into it, especially towards the end, which will have your heart racing and you on the edge of your seat. I absolutely love that in a romance novel!

One of my all time favorite things in a series is when you follow a friend group or siblings and we get just that with the amazing tightknit friendship between Gemma, Katie & Everleigh!! They are always there for one another, and that you get to see more of Gemma & Katie in this book (ugh my heart)!!!!! Such a great series. I can't get over it.

The heat was brought and the storyline will reel you in and you can't help but finish the book super quickly!!! This was a wonderful ending to an amazing series!!!

This series has been so good but Archer and Everleigh’s story is by far my favorite! Brother’s best friend with a spoonful of chemistry and great main characters. Archer has recently been released from prison and is now starting his life again with a new job at the gym and a new roommate which happens to be his friend Tyler’s little sister. It was great to finally see Everleigh get her own story! Everleigh is the perfect combination of all things great. She is strong, funny and so loving at the same time.
Archer and Everleigh definitely didn’t get to start off on the righ foot but it was nice to follow along on their journey and see them get to where they both deserved to be.
Absolutely loved this book and the rest of this series! The box sets and combined duets are perfect for page turning moments!

I have absolutely LOVED this series. All 3 books have been amazing but Archer & Everleigh just have something a little extra. They are the ultimate couple, especially with Everleigh being her “untamable” self. Archer comes in the picture & it’s game over. The buildup to their relationship was full of wit, great banter, & chemistry. I loved how they brought each other such happiness. Kennedy Fox never disappoints!!

Brothers best friend… roommates to lovers… small town romance… found family aspects…

This whole series is flawless. From Tyler & Gemma to Everleigh and Archer’s book, It was incredible.
Somehow I have to come to the realization that these people are fictional..

Everleigh is who I aspire to be. She is so unapologetically herself which is such a refreshing quality for a character to have. Her relationship with Tyler is so sweet- (he’s possibly my favourite character EVER) and the glimpses of him and his growing family / business throughout the other books was my favourite part.

This series should be read by everyone and their dog… (for Everleigh’s sake ofc)

When I started reading Kennedy Fox I was not a fan of duets or trilogies. I'm still NOT a fan but their work has made me see that sometimes they're OK.

OHHHH the slow burn! I have been dying to get my hands on Everleigh’s story since we first meet her as Tyler’s sister in the first book of this series. I loved her attitude, her sass. Just everything. Now getting to see inside her mind is just EVERYTHING! I could not get enough. That low sizzle that slowly builds for her and Archer is absolutely everything! The push and pull, the will he kiss her or will she kiss him just gave so much energy that I was DYING to know more!
It is so intense and raw between these two because they are both so scared to really open up and care and I adored that about this couple. Fox gave us all the swoon, the slow spicy burn and epic wit and banter that you will live for. With how it ended, I am so looking forward to seeing how it will all play out! The danger never really leaves them alone and throughout the book they are constantly having to look over their backs to make sure nobody is after them. But that doesn't stop our MC from making the best of the situation, spending almost every minute together and indulging in their chemistry that was off the charts since book 1.

But like every other couple they too slay their dragons and end up having HEA they both wanted and deserved.

WOW I take back what I said in my last review. Archer and Ev are definitely my favorite couple. The were so perfect for each other, their chemistry was off the charts and their banter was everything.

From the other 2 books in the series we could tell that Ev had a very strong and out of the box personality. She was always happy and would just say anything that came to mind. It was good seeing her get her happily ever after with someone that matches her perfectly.

They both had some ups and downs throughout the book, they had a big brother(Evs) and a stalker problem but they didn't let that stop them from enjoying life and each others company. Once they become a couple they didn't let anything get in the way of their relationship and as stuff started happening it just made them stronger.

Kinda sad this is the last book of the series but these series is gonna have u on a roller-coaster of emotions since the first page. Would definitely recommend this book to anyone!!

THIS BOOK WAS EVERYTHING I WANTED & MORE

okay so this whole series ive been WAITING for everleigh to get her HEA. i have loved her in this whole series and she has always made me laugh in a way that the others have not. she is fiercely independent and she knows what she wants. can i just say that the chemistry between her and her new roommate is HOTTTTTTT. archer is off limits but no one said that she can flirt around with him. i loved all of the tropes of this book and the story line was perfection. when i tell you that i ate this book up im not even joking. i was rooting for them as a couple the entire time. there was also so much suspense in this book that it kept me on my toes. i cant believe how fast this series went by and that this was the last book. this was such a good ending and the epilogue was all my heart could of wanted.

Book 3 in the Only One series and it is Archer and Everleigh’s story. Brother’s best friend/roommates to lovers romance. Archer needed a place to stay when he was new in town and since he is her brother’s friend, Everleigh opened her home to him. Even though Tyler, told them to keep it platonic, the chemistry between Archer and Everleigh was too much to ignore. They know that they shouldn’t pursue their feelings but the connection between them was too much to handle. Loved how well Tor Thom and Lia Langola brought them to life. You will feel so connected with these characters. Can’t wait to listen to what this wonderful duo has coming up next.

What a great conclusion to this interconnected, stand alone series! From the very first book, Only Him, I was dying to get more of the oversharing, dirty-minded, spunky Everleigh and boy did this book deliver. Unlike the other two in this series, we don't have a past connection with the couple, but the uncharted territory doesn't stick around long.

While Everleigh and Archer have never met before, they've heard plenty of one another through their mutual connection, Tyler. Tyler was Archer's cell mate when they were serving prison time together, and of course, Everleigh will always be Tyler's little sister. Tyler has made quite the pairing for roommates, as Archer is getting out of prison and back on his feet. He was very clear with one of his best friends, his little sister is OFF LIMITS. While nobody can tame Everleigh's adventurous nature, Tyler has warned her to stay away from Archer, as he doesn't want things getting complicated for either of them. How long can their boundaries last when they're sharing a house together? While their chemistry is off the charts, they're trying not to push anyone's limits, but when danger is lurking around the corner, they have only each other to turn to for comfort.

As I said previously, Everleigh is a firecracker and her own love story really cements the idea of her strong-willed personality. I absolutely adored getting to watch the chemistry heat up between these two. Once lines were crossed, boy do they deliver. Not only is the bedroom chemistry hot and heavy, but we also have a great mix of thrilling danger. There is always somebody waiting for their chance to take revenge, but as always with a Kennedy Fox, we always get our happily ever after. This couple was just so steamy, yet so cute and adorable all at the same time. It was quite refreshing to get a different perspective on the couples, as we were really discovering each character throughout. This entire book was like the hot build-up of a volcano that overflowed with honeymoon phase energy. Not to mention the fact that at the end, we get a look ahead into the lives of all the characters in an epic epilogue that just feels you with happiness to know everyone's future. I can't believe I waited so long to read this series. If you are looking for a great interconnected character, thrillery-romance (emphasis on romance) series, this is it!

5 I've Missed These Two Stars!!!

**********UPDATED TO REFLECT MY THOUGHTS ON THE AUDIOBOOK********

I'm a huge fan of all the couples in this series and I'm so happy I got to listen to Archer and Everleigh's story with both books back to back. Lia Langola and Tor Thom do a wonderful job of keeping me engaged with this story not only with how Archer and Everleigh's friendship grows as the story moves along but also with the suspense of this storyline. Kennedy Fox continues to impress me with pulling the rug out from beneath me because I never guess what's going to happen in their stories. I thought I remembered everything that happened with this love story, but alas, it was almost like listening to a brand new duet. All the characters came to life for me with the expert narration and I was once again glued to my device as I listened so I could see what would happen next! I highly encourge you to listen to all the books in this series because they're phenomenal!

Forcing You Away
5 Perfect Slow Burn Stars!!


The anticipation for Archer and Everleigh has been high as I’ve seen them in previous books knowing that one day their story would be in my hands. And oh my stars the wait has totally been worth it. These two have captured my heart!!

I loved the pace of this book in that Kennedy Fox really let their relationship and friendship grow with each chapter. There’s a delicious slow burn happening with Archer and Everleigh. It’s oozing off the pages. They’re both so hesitant to open their hearts not only to each other, but in general thanks to past experiences! When they just can’t deny each other any longer they literally go BOOM!! Talk about needing a fan to cool myself off!! As is to be expected with a duet from Kennedy Fox, there’s an underlying current of suspense and in this case, talk about leaving me with my mouth hanging open is putting it mildly! I literally read the last paragraph and said out loud “well now what am I supposed to do?” I mean seriously? Leaving me chomping at the bit for the conclusion of what I’m sure is an epic story and forever love!!


Wanting You Close
5 I Didn’t See That Coming Stars!!


I've been anxiously awaiting what would happen next after that shocker of an ending in Forcing You Away and the wait was totally worth it!! As this book opens we’re seeing the aftermath of what happened.

With the potential repercussions of what happened, we see a side of Archer and Everleigh and even Tyler as this book moves along and they’re trying to solve the mystery of “who done it.” I loved how strong Archer and Everleigh’s bond is and the love they’ve discovered for each other. And while they’re keeping it a secret from others due to reasons they felt are important… but their friends and family can see their unbreakable bond.

The way Kennedy Fox built the suspense in this story and all the actions of the perpetrator were marvelous! I truly had NO IDEA it was going the direction it did! I mean, color me shocked over the why’s of what happened. I adore how Archer and Everleigh faced everything head on and Everleigh is so sassy and some of her conversations had me chuckling out loud. And ooh-la-la the sexy times between these two are off the charts hot!!

What was happening in their lives really could’ve ended their burgeoning love and relationship but they were determined to find their HEA and how it ultimately happened had me on the edge of my seat. When you add in some surprise characters, other family members, especially nieces and nephews this book has everything I love about a Kennedy Fox book. I’m pretty sure I’ll be doing a binge read of this entire series now that all the books have been released!

Fantastic Story & Narration🎧 Gripping & Smoking🔥Hot!

Only Mine
Only One, Book 3
By: Kennedy Fox
Narrated by: Lia Langola, Tor Thom

It is great to be back in Lawton Ridge for another Kennedy Fox’s “Only One” novel. Each book in the series stands on its own, featuring different lead characters, though interconnected and appearances in each other’s books. I highly recommend each book in this series and reading or listening to them in order, not only are they all amazing but knowing the character’s back stories is beneficial, plus seeing them again is like seeing old friends. That said, since everything you need to know for each book and its characters is in the descriptive details, you will never feel lost or that something is missing. This third book is Archer and Everleigh’s story, Archer met Tyler in prison and they quickly became friends and Everleigh is Archer’s sister who owns her own clothing boutique in town. Tyler offered Archer a job, and he came to Lawton Ridge to start over. He needed a place to stay and Tyler did not have to room so he will stay in Everleigh’s spare room. Everleigh and Archer hit it off right from the start, but she is off limits because she is Tyler’s sister and he respects that. When Tyler did not want any awkward situations between his sister and his friend. But the chemistry between them is undeniable and they could only deny each other for so long. I loved how everything played out in this book, besides the romance storyline there is some mystery and suspense and the authors do a great job keeping you on your toes wondering who is behind the threats and attacks. Who’s past is coming back to haunt them? This wonderfully plotted story has the perfect balance of drama, heartfelt emotions, steamy romance and, as mentioned, mystery and thrilling suspense. Once you start this book, you will not want to put it down because you will want to know what happens next. Kennedy Fox, thank you for another amazing story and an emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Lia Langola and Tor Thom continue to do an amazing job bringing these characters and their story to life. Their portrayal of the characters has been spot on and their performance has been consistent throughout the series, the same with the quality of the audio, which is top-notch. I loved how they took each role, ran with it, and made it their own. These superbly talented narrators are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

Fire! Deep fried southern sassy fire!! Everleigh and Archer bring the sweetness and sassiness to Lawton Ridge and it is perfection!

I've been eagerly awaiting for Everleigh's story and her story did not disappoint! Everleigh is sassy, big hearted, and befriends everyone who steps in her path. Of course she was going to help her Archer, her brother's friend when he needed a place to stay. Not only is that southern hospitality, but it is a very Everleigh thing to do. The one thing she was not going to do was stop flirting with the gorgeous hunk of a man, Archer. Flirting was in Everleigh's genetic makeup and she didn't know how to turn it off, even if it did infuriate her brother.

Archer spent the last five years of his life in prison and he needed a fresh start. Tyler knew what it was like having been there himself, so when Archer was released Tyler offered him a job and a place to stay. The open arms of Tyler's family and friends, well, Archer had never really had that before and even though Everleigh was temptation herself, he also knew he didn't want to mess up and throw away his second chance at a new life. However, as each day progressed, living with the vivacious woman got harder and harder, and remaining friends was down right near impossible.

I love the small town community, but this story in particular really brings home that sweetness of living in a small town aspect. It's probably Everleigh's view of living there more than anything. While she loves it, she does point out how hard dating can be or even shopping, but her spirit of loving everyone the joy she brings to every event is super infectious. It's truly what Archer needed or what any of the guys needed after being released from prison. She is really fun to read.

Archer is also truly sweet. For a man who was locked away for five years, he didn't let it ruin his soul. He's respectful, courteous, and just a nice guy. He could have let what happened sour him, but instead he's looking to be a better man. I really like that and want the two of them to work out, they both deserve it.

This is the full duet and this book does have a small dose of intrigue. Their pasts have the potential to harm both of them, but which one will really do it, that is the mystery.

As each book has built within this series, all of the characters are linked together and their stories all connected, but by far Archer and Everleigh's connection, sizzling chemistry, and overall story, this book can be read as a standalone. Plus, I want to mention they are also my favorite couple by a landslide.

With Only Mine, we finally get to Everleigh’s story, and I loved every bit of it. This book is swoony and wickedly spicy with enough drama to make it all deliciously entertaining. At the start, we meet Archer who’s just gotten out of jail after being there for five years for a crime he didn’t commit. He’s getting a fresh start moving to Lawton Ridge where he’ll be working with his best friend and former cellmate Tyler (from Only Us). Due to a serious lack of available real estate, Archer winds up moving in with Everleigh, and their attraction is mutual despite them just being friends and roommates. However, this isn’t some easy friends to lovers romance, and a lot of tense and drama filled things happen along the way.

So, I genuinely love Tyler and Noah from the previous books in the series, but I think Archer has taken the top spot as my favorite hero of the series. He’s so completely likeable and the way he treats Everleigh is simply swoonworthy. And Everleigh is every bit feisty and funny as she was in the previous books in the series, but in this one, we see her more vulnerable and sweet side. Her character is more endearing than I expected, and she kept me smiling. Together, these two are not only fun and adorable but utterly hot, too. Their chemistry is amazing and to say that their relationship is spicy is putting it mildly.

Also, there’s been this sort of underlying theme to this series that’s basically “your past will catch up to you,” and it creates this phenomenally compelling and exciting storyline that’s incredibly suspenseful. I love that there’s this element of wondering what’s really going on and how it will all turn out in the end, and it seriously makes for the sort of book you can’t put down. From the start of this book, I felt sucked into Archer and Everleigh’s story, and I adored it all.

Archer and Everleigh’s story is romantic, suspenseful, and beyond steamy, and it’s smalltown, contemporary romance goodness. This whole series is wonderfully addictive, and this book is a definite must read.

Archer and Everleigh's story is a great addition to the Ex-Con/Only One series. Archer was Tyler's cellmate in prison, and when he is released, Tyler gives him a job at his gym — and his sister Everleigh's spare room. Their relationship is forbidden by her brother because Everleigh is a big-time flirt and a bit flighty, and Tyler wants Archer to get back on his feet with no distractions. But of course, Archer and Everleigh can only fight their attraction to one another for so long...

Everleigh has cracked me up since the beginning of this series, and I adored her rapport with Archer. Kennedy Fox did a great job of building a foundation for these characters through their friendship before anything physical happened between them. There are a few hookups along the way, and it was worth waiting for the anticipation of them finally sleeping together!

Like the rest of the books in this series, there's an element of suspense and Archer proves how much he loves Everleigh over and over again as they try to figure out who is behind what is happening. But they both have people from their pasts out to get them, so keeping Everleigh safe — as well as his new friends in Lawton Ridge and his sister in Wyoming —ends up being quite a difficult task.

In between the romantic suspense, there are so many sweet moments between Archer and Everleigh. And lots and lots of sex! These two really love to get it on! But there is a solid foundation of friendship between them, and I love how well they communicate (aside from when he lied to keep her safe).

I loved the cameos by Liam and Maddie from the Roommates series, and Archer and Everleigh's epilogue was perfect. (Although I would love to read an extended epilogue for all three of these couples!) I was so happy to see that Archer's sister Annie is married in the future -- dare I hope that she gets a story someday?

I feel like Everleigh's reputation has been building ever since the first book of this series. And finally! We got her book and it went beyond what I had expected.

Everleigh has been deemed the maneater by her brother and he had warned both Everleigh and Archer that they're off-limits to each other. Strictly roomies. No matter how much chemistry they have.

I am OBSESSED with these two! I loved how, unexpectedly, they didn't start to get physical with each other despite Everleigh's reputation and they build up a friendship with a side of attraction and chemistry. I loved seeing their interactions and their banter. Everleigh is always fun to read.

I lived thirty-three years before I knew the real definition of happiness, and that wasn’t until I met you. - Archer

What a perfect ending to Archer and Everleigh's story. I wholeheartedly loved how their story went. I think it was sweet but also full of suspense. I loved that, no matter what, they stick together and overcome the obstacles together. I don't like it when one MC decided to let go of the other MC because they didn't want that person to suffer or overcome that obstacle together. F*&$ that s#*t you know

This man is my other half, my best friend, the only person who really knows who I truly am, and I’m never giving him up.

There was more suspense in this one as they try to uncover all that was happening around them and to them. But the scenes where it's just the two of them together is my favourite and one that I continuously anticipate. I can't say too much without spoiling it. So you just have to read them.

These are two characters that you are going to fall so in love with it. I loved Everleigh and Archer so much and a great best friends sister book just really is right up my alley. Archer is one of the most protective men there is out there and you can tell it in the way he treats the people that he cares about and Everleigh is one of those people. I thought that he was so good to her. Everleigh on the other hands is a hot mess but Archer really seems to balance her out. But they both know that they can't have each other in the sweetest ways. He is the opposite to everything that she is and they make a couple you never wants story to end. I couldn't put this book down. I loved every single second of it and can not wait to see what happens in the next book. After all Everleigh was a man eater and I am afraid that will come back to bit them in the butt.These two have been through it and as you know Everleigh has been stabbed and Archer thinks he knows who has done it. But I'm not so sure that he does since he keeps getting messages from a person and pictures of his sister, Everleigh and his niece. I promise you that just when you think that you know who is doing all this stuff you are going to be wrong This book is so good and you guys need to pick it up get lost in it and I hope you love it as much as I did.

Everleigh and Archer are my favorite couple...and probably overall characters...of the series! I knew going in, after reading the previous books, that Everleigh was loud, naughty, funny and giving. She's a firecracker and Archer has better watch his back. Fresh out of prison after taking the fall for a loved one, Archer needs a fresh start and a place to stay. Coming to work for friend Tyler, and living with his off-limits sister, Everleigh, might not be his wisest move at first, but it quickly becomes the best idea ever. While agreeing to be only friends and roommates, their chemistry lights up every page. Their slow burn relationship...because you know it will ignite at some point...was filled with understanding, laughter and fun. And the mystery and danger surrounding them was wonderfully written. At times, even I was unsure of what was going on (but I picked up on it along the way). The pacing of Only Mine was great, and at times I forgot it was previously released as a duet. It was more cohesive than the earlier books, imho, which made the story flow smoother for this reader. I enjoyed the cast of secondary characters coming back and being intertwined again, but the addition of Everleigh's friend and co-worker, Lexi, brought a new and hilarious vibe to the store. I cannot say enough about this pairing and this book. Only Mine gets 5 big stars from me.

I absolutely loved this story! It pulled me in from beginning to end. I loved how Archer was not intimidated or scared off by Everleigh's out there and outlandish comments and actions. He thought some of her antics were funny and he just wasn't put off by it which was great. It allows Everleigh to truly be herself with him. Archer and Everleigh have both been given the warning by Tyler (Everleigh's brother) that they are off limits to each other. It puts the stop on them acting on their instant connection and allows them to build a great foundation of getting to know one another and seeing how they fit together without the sexual, physical side to things early on. Someone seems to be after one or both, they aren't sure and so when things start getting more and more dangerous, it gets harder for them to not act on their feelings. They decide to give in as they know this is deeper for both of them and they want to take that chance, they just decide to keep it away from her brother. I loved this story! The characters pulled me in from beginning to end. I loved watching them come together and build that relationship. There is action and intrigue as well as they try and figure out who is after them and what is actually going on. Great story!
The narrators were great and really added that extra to the story to bring it to life.

I loved every single one of the stories in this series, but I think that this might be my favorite of the three. I absolutely loved Archer and Everleigh. Archer was Tyler's cellmate in prison, and when he is released, Tyler gives him a job at his gym and his sister Everleigh's spare room. Everleigh was definetly my fave character since the beginning of this series, and I loved her interaction with Archer so much. This was the perfect way to end the series. I loved watching the friend group grow larger and closer, and also everyone finding their happy endings. I am a sucker for those.

What really brought warmth in my heart is Archer and Everleigh's epilogue. With that being said, I would really love to read an extended epilogue for all three of these couples. This girl loves these books so much that I can't help needing more. I mean can you blame me?! These books give me a nice warm feeling around my heart.

Overall, I think these books would be perfect to read any time but especialy around Christmas. It would give them that holiday vibe energy and and make it even more awesome. I will definetly be re-reading these then.

This book was everything I was expecting and so much more!

I was dying for Everleigh's story from the very beginning of the series because her wild personality made me love her instantly. Now Archer was definitely another character I instantly adore and when these two become roommates sparks fly right away, unfortunately there is an invisible line they can't cross, a promise to Taylor, Everleigh's brother and Archer's best friend.

What I LOVE about this story is that Everleigh and Archer become really good friends, they help and care for each other and while their friendship grows also their attraction becomes so much stronger and when they finally give in in their attraction be prepare for the most steamy scenes ever.

Now, they are some dangerous people trying to destroy their happiness and Everleigh and Archer have to fight for the life they want together. There were some nerve-racking moments through the book that keep me at the edge of my sit.

I listened to the audiobook of this story I just loved the narrators they did a fantastic job and defiantly recommend this whole series either by listening or reading it.

Pushing You Away

I am love with Noah and Katie. Noah is a sweet guy who went to jail to protect his best friend and the love of his life. Noah has felt guilty for what happened to his cousin and how things were handled with Katie. but he can’t find his feelings anymore. Katie has also loved Noah since she was younger but when he went to jail he hurt her.

Noah and Katie are the sweetest couple. The feelings they have for each other have only gotten strong. The cliffhanger is killing me, I need the next book right now.

Holding You Close

I love Noah and his sweet letters to Katie.

Noah and Katie finally get together when his accident happens. Now they must navigate what happened and be cautious since they don't know if someone is out to get them once more. When danger knocks on their door, all hell breaks loss. People are hurt, arrested and die. The only good that comes out is that Noah and Katie are going to be parents.

Like always Kennedy Fox makes me cry and laugh. Noah is by far my favorite Kennedy Fox Book hero and I want more of him. This book is amazing and a great conclusion to Noah and Katie's story.

I think Archer and Everleigh might be my favorite couple of this whole series. Don't get me wrong I love all of these couples but Archer's dirty-talking ways are the best. But most importantly he loves Everleigh just the way she is.

Archer arrives looking for a fresh start, something his old cellmate is giving him. He'll be training clients at the gym and living with Everleigh. Tyler's wild little sister. Both have been warned to stay away from each other.

But Everleigh takes every chance she gets to admire Archer's body and tease him with plenty of innuendos. It's all working out until they start sharing a bed. Sleeping next to each other brings them each a comfort they've never felt before. Each is craving more but Archer doesn't want to upset his friend.

On top of that they notice odd things going on around them. A dark SUV is parked in front of Everleigh's home or store, and Archer is receiving threatening messages against those he cares about. Things seem fine until Everleigh is attacked. He'll do whatever it takes to keep those he loves safe.

Thank you so much to the authors for this ARC to review!
