Review / Release Blitz: Holding You Close (Noah & Katie Duet #2, Ex-Con Duet series #4) by Kennedy Fox

Holding You Close
Noah & Katie Duet #2
Ex-Con Duet Series
Holding You Close is now available on all retailers!
After serving a decade long prison sentence for an accident that resulted in my husband’s death, Noah Reid returns. Even if he was my childhood best friend and the first man I secretly loved, I refuse to make it easy for him. But the heart never forgets and those old repressed feelings quickly bubble to the surface.

Loving him is a dangerous game but one I’m willing to play.

Flirting leads to falling between the sheets, and I’m forced to deal with the guilt of what we’re doing. Viciousness towards Noah runs rampant and while revenge trickles through the streets of Lawton Ridge, I realize there’s more on the line than just my heart. While I’m afraid that my son and I will be caught in the crossfire of those who want to hurt Noah, I can’t walk away.

Secrets are revealed and revelations are made, but losing him again isn’t an option—especially since I’m pregnant.

HOLDING YOU CLOSE is a slow burn, angsty friends to lovers romance with lots of small-town, Southern drama. It's book 2 in the Noah & Katie duet and must be read in order.

MY REVIEW
After the crazy cliffhanger in Pushing You Away, I was dying to know what would happen next. I'm so glad I finally got answers, and I'm so glad I waited because Holding You Close is the perfect conclusion to this couple who fought so hard and so long for their happiness.
Noah waited so long to let Katie know how he felt about her, all while feeling the guilt that came with the very incident that put him in prison, even though it wasn't a purposeful act. I fell even more in love with him here, and thought he was just about the perfect guy for his sweet Katie and their own family. Through it all - all the drama, the suspense, the pain, Noah and Katie were scratching and clawing to make their way through to the other side, and when they finally got there - it was so sweet. I loved the epilogue and am so happy they got the happy ever after - if ever a couple deserved happiness, it's Noah and Katie.

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!
