Review / Release Blitz: Pushing You Away (Noah & Katie duet #1) (Ex-Con Duet Series #3) by Kennedy Fox

Pushing You Away is now available on all retailers!
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.

MY REVIEW
Noah has been in love with his cousin Gabe's girl, Katie, forever. When circumstances have him go away to prison for Gabe's death, he pushes Katie away during the guilt he experiences. But he's out now and home, will Katie ever speak to him again?
I remember while reading Tyler and Gemma's story, feeling so badly for Noah and wanting his story. I am so glad I got it because it's everything I had been hoping for - emotional, steamy, and sweet as he and Katie fell so hard for each other. Of course there was a horrible cliffhanger, but I know things will work themselves out in Holding You Close.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
