Roommate Duet #5

Always Mine: Liam & Madelyn, #1

Rate this book
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.

FIVE HULK STARS for Maddie and Liam 😍💖💜!!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I couldn't imagine a better book to start my "Reading Challenge 2020" than this one.

O.M.G. 😱!!!

This is definitely the book I will remember for a long time and I didn't regret any minute I spent reading it.

It was a really great book that kept my attention from the first page to the last.

And the end?!?!?!

I need "Always Yours" the right now!!!

"Always Mine" is the fifth book in the "Roommate Duet" series and the first book from "Liam & Madelyn" duet.

I love both the main characters.

Maddie and Liam are so perfect for each other but they need to work a lot for their happily ever after.

I can't wait to find out how it'll all work out in the next book.

If you love suspense romance and books by Kennedy Fox, then this is the book you need to read this year!!!

Highly recommended!!!

I got my mind blown away with this book. Kennedy Fox done a good job on putting every trope/ plot/ twist of forbidden romance into 1 giant story. Do not get me wrong, the combination of twist and turn are good. So good. Like a guilty pleasure addicting chocolate cake. You should not eat it, but you can not help it.

The writing style is also explosive. It keeps me on my seat during my Friday work day. I even ignored my phone call when the plot gets into climax. It is addicting!

What hold me back is Liam character. He is a bounty hunter. He is smart, cocky, protective alpha male. And yet he got so stupid being scammed by Las Vegas gambling world. I want to slap him so many times. I also sense his indifference toward the whole mess he gets himself into. He does not show enough remorse to Madelyn and the way he handles his mess is like reporter reporting a weather forecast. Again, indifference.

The whole thing with him slept with Victoria while he has feeling for Madelyn, also throws me off.

Despite the shortcoming of Liam, I still enjoy the story very much.

So much focus on her virginity. He's a frat boy player and refuses to take her virginity when she's 17 and then when she's 18 he does, but when he's reintroduced to her he's hoping she listened to him and didn't give away her MOST PRIZE POSSESSION. Cause we all know women aren't worth anything once they've been deflowered... sarcasm in case that wasn't clear.

I found this barf inducing. Authors grow up and write about something other than whether or not she's a virgin. Especially if you're going to make him a whore. Double standards much????

Angsty | New Adult | Roommates to Lovers Romance

I guess Kennedy Fox wanted to start 2020 off with a BANG because my feelings are SHATTERED right now! Being a beloved duo of mine you can say I’m obsessed with their words. The way they write and weave these stories is STUNNING. I don’t think I’ve rated any book in this series lower than 5 stars and I don’t give those stars away easily. The books must be the best of the best. Alas, this one is.

Always Mine is the 5th book in the Roommates series but book 1 of Maddie and Liam’s duet. I personally recommend reading this series in order so that spoilers from the past books won’t ruin the individual stories for you. Even more so, this entire series is fantastic so you’re really missing out if you don’t read them! That being said, this book had me GUSHING. I’ve been looking forward to Liam and Maddie’s books since I first met them in Hunter and Lennon’s duet (BABY MINE (CURRENTLY FREE) and BABY YOURS. Kennedy Fox did them justice! This is an angst filled, and SEXY READ. The slow burn between these two is INTENSE and the shocks are the end had me GASPING! I knew something was coming (hello, the other books in the series have taught me well) but I didn’t know WHAT. So, I’ll tell you now, I AM SHOOK! Damn you Kennedy Fox for setting my emotions on fire!

I won’t get into the actual story because I don’t want to spoil this amazing read for potential readers, so I’ll be keeping my review short. However, I’m warning you to expect the unexpected! This book threw me through a loop! And I loved it because of it!

Make sure to grab a copy when it releases on January 7th. The book is already up for preorder on amazon: https://amzn.to/2tmGuWS

4.5 “Hulk” Stars

Always Mine is the first book in Liam and Madelyn’s duet. I’ve wanted and needed their story desperately. The bits and pieces of them together we got of them in the other books only made me that more intrigued about them. But I never could’ve prepared for the twists and turns this book had and especially the angst that had me raging. I knew this would end in a cliffhanger, but it still didn’t stop me from wanting to throw my kindle. I need answers, and I need them now!

Maddie has had a crush on Liam ever since she laid eyes on him. She’s playful and feisty when it comes to pursuing him. She tries her best to finally have Liam see her as more than a little sister. She knows a part of him feels something for her, but he’s stubborn to admit it. He’s also built walls, so Maddie will have to work her magic in order to tear those walls down.

There’s more to Liam than meets the eye. There’s a little bit of mystery to him and the things he does, and because of that he ends up making some bad choices. And in order to protect his friends and especially Maddie he’ll have to lie and in turn those lies will hurt Maddie. Even though he didn’t mean to, Liam inevitably starting falling for Maddie, but now he must stay away and protect her at all costs even though it hurts him to.

Liam and Maddie have crazy chemistry. There’s no denying their attraction. They bring the laughs and I couldn’t get enough of their funny and witty moments. I like how carefree they were and adore their playfulness. Their relationship has been four years in the making, but there’s obstacles that are standing in their way. The only question is can they overcome them or not?

Always Mine was a slow burn romantic suspense filled with action and surprise after surprise. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions. The waiting won’t be easy, but I can’t wait for the conclusion of Liam and Maddie’s story. Is it February yet?

Holy mother of all the things .... *blink*

Okay, so listen, this isn’t out first time down the Kennedy Fox Duet Avenue. They’ve been having us drive up and down this street for a while. We should know every twist, turn, deviation and roadblock up ahead that is coming our way.

YOU DO NOT!!

I am all up in my damn feelings over this story and I am #twitchy I have to wait over a month for more. Ya’ll …. This is why we can’t have nice things! I don’t know what to do with myself because it’s not like I can share my feelings! Life is happening in these pages. Real life. This may be a fiction romance, but real-life choices are being made to real life circumstances and I am ALL UP IN MY FEELINGS about it.

Damn … these ladies are good.

The best book in the series so far without any doubt! 😍😍😍

My reactions while reading this book: 😍😂🥺

Let me say at first that I usually take notes while reading so I can write a proper review (if you can call that a review 😅) but I didn’t do that with this book because I just wanted to finish it and I didn’t waste any time with taking notes.

Before I start writing why I loved this book so much I need to mention that, unfortunately, for the first half of the book I had a hard time to place everything chronologically because until 50% the story overlaps with the previous ones. But thankfully that didn't make me enjoy it less!

Now to all the things that made me enjoy this book so much. First of all, Maddie was my favorite of all the Corrigan sisters, and I really wanted to read her story for the very first start. I love how sassy, rebellious she is, and how she always gets what she wants. As for Liam I wasn’t sure if I liked him or not before reading this book, he was pretty much indifferent to me. Well, that completely changed now. He is such a gentle soul even if that isn’t obvious in the previous books but in order to save Maddie and his friends, he goes through hell…

I loved that we get to see more of their story back when Maddie is seventeen and every other incident between them that wasn’t mentioned in the previous books. Their chemistry is off the charts and I’m really glad that this wasn’t as slow burn as the previous ones because I was really sick of it. I loved that Maddie was mature when things didn’t go as expected and I really adore Liam for being so protective of her all the time in a brother-sister way but also as a jealous non-boyfriend. They're my favorite couple and I can’t wait to see more of them in Always Yours.

It’s definitely the best book in the series so far and it was really worth the wait! Five stars without any doubt!

P.S.: Can I just say how badass Liam’s job is? If I could get a job just like his, believe me I would.

Liam and Maddie’s duet has been highly anticipated since Baby Mine came out and I can’t believe their story is finally here. I absolutely adore this series because it’s been fun watching all the characters get their own story.
Maddie is a great sister, a beautiful dancer and has been crushing on Liam since the very first time she has laid eyes on him.Liam has we wanting my own Bounty hunter. He is hot, a good friend and a little mysterious when it comes to his friends.
Maddie and Liam are so fun together. Maddie is so flirty and Liam just can’t handle it. With the age gap and Maddie being inexperienced, Liam just see her as a little girl. Maddie and Liam make an adorable pair, whether it’s as just friends or as a couple.
I couldn’t get enough of this story and I can’t wait for Always Yours!!

⭐️ 5+ "The Dancer & the Hulk" Stars ⭐️
Where do I start my review for Always Mine? My thoughts are all over the place! This book was seriously everything!!! I’ve been waiting for the Liam & Madelyn Duet since meeting both characters in Baby Mine and I surely wasn’t upset in the least with their own story! This book surpassed my greatest hopes! Kennedy Fox aren’t one of my favorite authors for nothing! They always succeed in crafting stories with the perfect balance of poignant feelings, humour, spicy moments and suspenseful twists! Always Mine was all that and so much more! This dreamy couple gave me life!!!

Since they were both introduced as supporting characters, I loved Liam and Maddie’s comfortable and flirty banter so much! I wasn’t anticipating for them to have previously met, but the prologue shows they met at a party a year before being officially introduced by Lennon. That night, they connected strongly with an instant attraction but the fact she wasn’t legal put a break to their burning desire.

I absolutely loved Madelyn! That girl is something special! All the ways she goes to make Liam crazy with sexy innuendos and teasing! She’s an absolute firecracker and isn’t afraid of saying what she thinks and going for what she wants. But there’s also a vulnerable side of her that is quite fragile when Liam is concerned. She tries to hide the hurt from his rejections with playful comebacks, but it’s not always easy.

Liam had me swooning! As much as he tries to resist Maddie, it’s so obvious that he has feelings for her. He finds himself in a really bad predicament that I totally didn’t see coming and he makes everything to protect her. She might not see this, but he sacrifices so much for her and his friends. There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for his "family"!

Obviously, this book is a slow burn that had me completely enraptured. All the interactions between Liam and Maddie are witty, flirty and filled with longing. This pair is so made for each other that I was dying for Liam to finally crack under all the temptation of that feisty woman! Their friendship is incredible to witness! They ultimately steal really intense moments of passion that left be in awe and my heart palpitating. Their feelings are undeniable, but there’s so much more trying to separate them. All this back and forth broke my heart!!!

The intrigue was so exciting and had me anxious and sometimes raging! It certainly kept me invested one hundred percent! The way the novel ended left me astonished and I need the next book like I need my next breath. It will be a struggle to wait until Always Yours!!! Kennedy Fox downright spellbound me with Always Mine, that is my new favorite book of theirs! Emotional, addictive, passionate, amusing and thrilling, this book is a hurricane of sensations!

„You’re mine. Promise me, Maddie. No matter what happens.”


Well, I don't want to sound cheesy, but I'm theirs. Kennedy Fox own me. Always Mine was one of my most anticipated books and boooooy, how they delivered. I'm a ball of emotions. Liam and Maddie’s story ruined me in the best possible way. I went through every possible feeling during this read, from swooning and blushing through rage and disappointment. This whirlwind of twists and turns is the best reading experience a romance fan could ask for. It’s surprising, thrilling, suspenseful and keeps you constantly at the edge of the seat. I knew that these two will be phenomenal, but I didn’t expect such a mindblow!


I want to crawl inside this book and jump Liam's bones. This guy turned out to be so much more than was shown in previous duets. Between dangerous work and fighting his feelings for Maddie, Liam puts everything at stake to protect his loved ones. When I thought before that he was selfish, he has proved to be totally selfless. I’m in love with this charming and dirty-talking guy with a big heart!

Maddie is very persistent and it looks like this talented dancer is flexible not only with her body, but also with her mind and heart. No matter how often she was rejected and what she needed to tolerate, she knew what she wanted and was determined to get it. She’s wild, sassy, rebellious and so funny and adorable!

Their story is a deliciously sexy slow burn. A second chance romance of sorts, that gives them a chance to develop the flame that sparked years ago and never got a chance to evolve. And let me tell you- together they are combustible! I'm talking about I-need-a-cold-shower HOT. But if you think that Kennedy Fox would let their characters just hit it off, think again. Oh no, they’re testing them on every corner, making them jump through hoops and testing the strenght of Maddie and Liam’s feelings. How much they can withstand before something irreversible and unforgivable happens? The authors have certainly made an attempt to check where the limit lies.


Always Mine is unputdownable, captivating and exciting. I was reading this book with mouth agape and heart in my throat. I love these characters and I need their happily ever after like I need my next breath! Hurry up, Kennedy Fox, I’m dying here from anticipation!

So this is the third couple in this Roommate Series, if you've read the others in the series then you will have met Liam and Maddie..... this was the one I was waiting for, the delicious push and pull between them in the other books had me impatiently waiting for this one to arrive, and it's well worth the wait!!!

Maddie is the youngest of the three sisters, brought up in a strict religious household, she is by far the wilder and most rebellious of the three sisters. She couldn't wait to be old enough to move out of her parents and be with her sisters and go to college. Liam and Maddie first met at a college party, their connection and attraction was very strong even then, things got hot and steamy fast until Maddie told him her age and he dropped her like hot coals!! At 17 she was underage and 5 yrs younger than him, she was out of bounds!

Liam has never been able to forget Maddie and how she made him feel. In a twist of fate she turns out to be his BF girl's sister, and they end up seeing a lot more of each other than they ever dreamed!

Maddie has had a crush on Liam in forever and is determined to try and win him over, any way she can. Liam is determined that Maddie is off limits, not willing to jeopardize his friendships he tries to stay out of the way, yet at the same time is very protective and caring of her.

Being a Bounty Hunter, Liam is away from the house for days at a time, helping keep his control and stay away from Maddie. But he ends up gambling and making some poor decisions that may ultimately put his life and the life of his friends, especially Maddie in danger, he can see only one way out, and that will break Maddie's heart.

You get hints at Liam's gambling problems in the other books, but the depth of just how much trouble he ends up in is quite shocking when you find out. But I love his character, he has such a big heart for all those around him, he is unable to do relationships and feels he is not worthy of Maddie and is determined to keep away from her, but boy does Maddie know how to push his buttons!! She is an amazing character, wild, sassy, beautiful, and so very caring. It's a slow burn with lots of push and pull between these two, very passionate in the latter stages, I'm literally itching to get my hands on the second part of this duet now!!

OMFG!!! Finally Maddie and Liam's story!!!!

I have been on pins and needles waiting for this story and can I just say it did not disappoint! The drama of it all, the CHEMISTRY, the push and pull were everything I was hoping for and so much more!

While it's not necessary to read the other books in the Roommate series, it is beneficial as it gives you a broader and better context of each story line.

That ending...gah Kennedy Fox knows how to make me salivate for more!!!!!

Wow, hot damn! I think this might be Kennedy Fox's best yet! How Maddie and Liam meet in the prologue is HOT and I definitely did not see it coming! We have watched them throughout the other duets with their bickering back and forth and Maddie's relentless pursuit of Liam. They have crazy hot chemistry but Liam fights it and ends up making some bad choices. Their relationship has been four years in the making but I am not sure even they can overcome the obstacles they are facing. Will their love be enough? I cannot wait for the conclusion!

Wow! I knew this duet would be worth the wait, but I’m in awe of everything I read. This book was a solid 4.5⭐️ read. Liam is a player, cocky & will charm the pants off you with his beautiful words. The push & pull with these 2 keep you on your toes. The chemistry was oozing off the pages. I’m extremely intrigued to see what happens in the final book. If there is something that can come between these couples in these books it will happen worse to Liam & Maddie. I was not ready for this story to stop & it left me waiting, wondering & not patiently at that.

I recommend this book. Told in dual POV.

Rate: 5/ 5 stars

I've been trying to get my thoughts together to write this review without any spoilers and honestly I'm still not ready but here goes...

Having read every single book these two ladies have ever written and knowing how these two write their epilogues... with a major cliff-hanger... and also having read Mason & Sophie's duet where we got that jaw dropping ending, I can say that my heart was in my throat for the entire time I was reading this book. It wasn't always for the same reason though. Yup, these ladies just kept throwing punch after punch. I was K.O. not even half way through the book but I kept on reading because honestly I couldn't stop!

Always Mine was a complete rush. So many things happen and you slowly see them coming but you don't have time to process them until they come at you full force and it's just shock after shock, emotion after emotion.

Honestly I don't know how I'm alive after reading this one. Because these ladies killed me several times in this book: first, it was the awesome friendship these two have and the chemistry Liam tries to fight and Maddie keeps on throwing in his face; then it was everything Liam got into and the consequences that had for him and a future with Maddie. Getting to watch Liam and Maddie give in to temptation every once in a while and watching her go through that back and forth with him is so heartwrenching. Honestly my heart broke for Maddie throughout the majority of the book and for how it ended. You can definitely count on a major jaw-dropping cliff-hanger that will for sure have you an anxious mess waiting on Always Yours. And this is not even half of it... this book was just EPIC. I know that's exactly how this series is gonna end - with an even more epic ending to Liam and Maddie's story. I don't know if I'm ready for it, both their story nor the ending of this series but February can't come soon enough. I need book 2 ASAP.

It isn't all emotional and sad though. There are some very sweet and happy parts for these two and oh boy, together, they are fire! They might be my favorite couple in this series, specially chemistry wise but jury still out... I need much much more of them to be sure ahaha.

Gosh, I just really love Liam. I'm a mess over everything that happened in this book. Liam has such an amazing heart and he will do anything to protect his friends and loved ones. I honestly completely fell hard for him and uhh his dirty talk (give me more of that ;) ) Maddie, gosh I adore her. She's incredibly resilient, a bad girl with the greatest, passionate heart that just wants to love and be loved freely and without any restraints. Gosh how much I hope she gets to live that.

Kennedy Fox are really giving us an epic ending to this series. They gave us a taste of suspense with Mason and Sophie but with Liam and Maddie they are taking it to a whole new level and I AM HERE FOR IT! Always Mine was a slow burn, romantic suspense with plenty of surprises, twists and turns and shocking events that will take you on an epic roller coaster of emotions. And let's not forget the strong friendship with an insane chemistry and a spectacular love story in the making.

I've loved all of the books in this series so far, so I was ready for this next duet. I knew from the others that there would definitely be a major cliffhanger, and there was, but it so was not what I had guessed or seen coming as I read. It was easy to figure out from the little hints and clues that Liam was going to end up with some kind of problem from gambling. I did not see what happened though as what would be the way it went. I love that there was a back story between Liam and Maddie that we didn't really know before this book. It really made all the different events with them in the other books make so much more sense. I totally was frustrated with Liam throughout the whole thing though because that whole "I'm not good enough for you, you deserve better, blah blah blah" thing irritates me to no end. Especially with how long Liam kept it up, even while still being into her and being such a good guy. But I'm still loving the story and going to be very impatiently waiting for Always Yours.

”Maddie’s always been my best-kept secret, and it looks like she may forever stay that way.”

Kennedy Fox has done it again! 2020 can’t be to a more of a perfect start without one of the most anticipated reads EVER! Always Mine was the perfect amount of slow burn and angst imaginable!

Gearing up for Always Mine featuring Fox’s most anticipated couple, Liam and Maddie, was more than the whirlwind I was expecting! Every page turned was a phenomenon waiting to be unleashed.

It’s the book where you feel like you know what to expect next and then become completely blindsided. Liam and Maddie’s live is one of champions. This book takes you back to what romance should really be like. Couple with Fox’s signature prose that can’t be stopped and you have one of the best books of 2020 before the new year has even begun!

Grab this book for a remarkable slow burn, unstoppable friends to lovers and remember why you picked up romance from the start.

I've been waiting for Maddie's and Liam's story for what feels like years!! If you've been reading the other friend's duets books and you've read anything about them...then you know what I mean. Liam was always a character I was interested in and wanted to get inside his head. He is just one of those characters that has always stuck with me and to finally have him in my hands...cue the angel music.

These two were so fun to read and also so aggravating. The slow burn of the story is one of my favorite things. The anticipation of what's going to happen with these two. You just feel like you're holding your breath waiting for something to happen or for one of them to snap at each other. Maddie may only be twenty-one but she's always known what she wanted and that was Liam. The Hulk. She wants him and she has from the first time she met him...though she was underage then. But Liam has treated her as nothing more than a friend, a pesky little sister and she's tired of it.

She knows he has feelings but just doesn't want to admit it. Or at least she hopes. Because a few stolen kisses, leave her guessing what's he playing at even more. Because she knows somethings up with him. All the trips to Vegas, bruises on his face he shouldn't have, being the size that he is. Maddie is worried about him but he won't talk about it. Just stays his grumpy self or acts like nothing is wrong. Maddie is sick of it.

But when the shoe drops...it drops hard and rocks Maddie's world more than she was ever prepared for. This book just left me in a pit of feels and emotions. It's such a fun book but I will be waiting for the next release, that's for sure. Maddie and Liam were an intense read but oh so special.

Ugh, Kennedy Fox is killing me with these cliffhangers!! I've waited through all 4 of the Roommates books for Liam and Maddie! Even though I knew this book would end in a cliffy, as my Kindle kept updating my progress bar, I started to sweat! Sweat, people, it was not cool, especially with where KF leaves us hanging on this one. My heart can't take this anxiety. Lol

Liam and Maggie felt like my old friends going into Always Mine but we learned so much more about their beginnings! I loved (and hated) their rich backstory and it provided great context for the love/hate, on/off "I want to tear your clothes off/nah, you're a little pain in the ass" dynamic between these two. Liam has always been intriguing to me and I couldn't wait to learn what he was doing during those spur-of-the-moment, mysterious trips away, but it was so much more than I imagined!

Maddie's antics are hilarious. Sure she's the kid sister and boy does she work that angle but she's also an intelligent woman and an incredibly accomplished dancer. You don't become an elite dancer without knowing how to put in the hours for something you care about and she's determined to get her man.

The chemistry between these two was smoking and although I seriously wanted to junk punch Liam a few times, they are surely one of my favorite match ups. Can't wait for the exciting conclusion to their story!

Maddie and Liam

Their love story should be EPIC, the BEST out of the Corrigan sisters that’s my heart tells me.

But before I got the ARC, I was listening to this book playlist and that alone made me cry which means this book will have all the feels and angst and so much more.

Oh Man, Maddie I feel your pain... I don’t know how Liam will grovel and begged for your forgiveness but you know what they say... it is LOVE when it hurts... that bruises you thru pain and that feelings makes Love stronger and more. You fight for it.

Hope. I hope for Liam and Maddie to see the light that they just have to fight it together so they can be hopefully together.


Gripping. Pang. Addictive.
Leaves you breathless

After reading this book, my heart feels heavy...distress...tormented but in a good way as this proves that Kennedy Fox out done themselves again.

Heart first and head first collide to create complicated. Always Mine pulls emotions into chaotic romance. With a not too distant past that didn't end well and a chance reunion that could lead to ultimate disaster, Fox sets hearts up for a humdinger of a ride. Liam is the boy that walked away. Madelyn is the girl he can't forget. When past regrets lead to a dangerous present, odds are more than their hearts are at stake. From heartbreaker to page turner, Always Mine doesn't hold back when it comes to bringing on the burn.

Kennedy Fox has kicked 2020 off with a “Go Big or Go Home” attitude and boy, did they deliver! I’ve been obsessed with them since the very beginning and I have to say that with each book, they step up their game.

Always Mine? GAME CHANGER!!!

I have been waiting for Liam and Maddie’s story thinking that I knew exactly how this would go. I was soooo wrong! This is the ultimate slow-burn romance that just has you begging for Liam and Maddie to finally get together because you KNOW it will be everything and then some! The relationship between Liam and Maddie, the twists and turns, their banter...OMG, it was everything I’ve ever wanted!!!

AND THAT ENDING….If you’ve read any of these duets from Kennedy Fox, you know they love to throw a cliffy ending in there. I’ve come to LOVE them and each one is better than the last ;) This was no different and I cannot wait for Always Yours!!

I could not wait to get more of Liam and Maddie. I anxiously anticipated this book and it did not disappoint. This book will give you all the feels and leave you wanting so much more. Liam and Maddie have crazy chemistry, like two magnets. I love the banter and got a kick out of how funny and witty I found them both. I loved that their story combined passion, love, lies, mystery and some suspense. The characters were so wonderfully written and the story flowed so smoothly that I could not put it down until I reached that last page. Now, I will be anxiously anticipating the next book until it gets here.

Liam is a cocky, arrogant player used to getting any woman he wants and partying all the time. He meets Maddie while she is too young and almost ends up taking her virginity. Maddie is a strong, determined woman who has grown up. Liam is now hunting down criminals and has slowed down but never forgotten about Maddie. The two of them have an intense chemistry that won't be denied. The story does end on a cliffhanger but the next book is just around the corner. I can't wait to find out what happens with this couple.

GAAAAAAAAAAH! WHHHHHY!!!!! Okay, now that I have gotten that out of my system, I am sooooooo happy we got Liam and Maddie’s story! Of course, it is only the first part, and if you have been keeping up with the duets, you know there is more to come! But these two! Finding out things that we do in this series, makes more sense but the pull that these two have is just brilliant. The push and pull keeps you on your toes with giggles and swoon worthy moments.
Behind the concept of this story, it makes your head spin and want to yell at Liam but the twists that are involved with him makes you want to know more and what will happen next.
As a whole, I absolutely ADORED this story. I am dying to find out what will happen in the second installment. I swear my heart cannot take it but I NEED ANSWERS!!! There is so much that needs to be told, but to be honest, I am going to be beyond sad when this series is over. I thought Hunter was wow… but Liam… GIMMIE!

Oh wow! I was not prepared for all the emotions this book put me through! And it's only the first half of Liam and Maddie's story!
I have loved Maddie since she was introduced in Lennon's story. She's a spitfire that has given Liam trouble from the get-go. Their story has been on the top of my anticipated reads and Kennedy Fox slayed it.
From the prologue up until the very last chapter, my heart was in my throat. Saying this was an emotional roller coaster ride is an understatement.
I can't wait for the conclusion of their story in Always Yours.
