When You Are Mine left me literally shaking with anticipation!
Loving You Always picks up right where we left off in book one. With all the angst and turmoil of the first book, I expected the same in the second. Kennedy Ryan delivers in spades! She takes you through the journey of tragedy, discovery, following your dreams and second chances. This series is not an easy read by far! Have your Kleenex's ready!
I am now HIGHLY anticipating Cam and Jo's story in Be Mine Forever!

A slow read. I still think that everything could've been wrapped up in the first book.

Loving You Always is another solid 4.5.
It picks up where When You Are Mine left off, but it makes all the characters work hard for the HEA. I have a pet peeve when characters have serious emotional issues that are tied up too quickly. Kerris figures out quickly that she needs to face her issues of abandonment and worthiness to find her HEA. I related so much to Kerris and found her journey to healing herself to be on target. This book was so emotional that I cried a few times. I loved it.

A heart breaking love triangle,a heart breaking loss, a bitter sweet reunion and a HEA that will leave you teary eyed.
“ I’m sorry it took me so long”
“ I know it’s been a long time, but-“ “ worth the wait.” He had to cut her off, dragging his thumb over the one high cheekbone. “ Don’t ever doubt you were worth the wait, Kerris.”
“ Why, Walsh?” She whispered, her voice wavering and her eyes rimmed with tears.”Why me?” “ My heart didn’t give me a choice. I saw you and was gone almost from the beginning.”
Going into this book I knew I was missing something when I started reading this. But I continued on thinking that it was just a continuation of a love triangle where the jilted one went on with his life and met another after being dumped by the leading lady. Boy was I way off, just after the first pages I was hooked and that is because I had no Idea what had happened in the first book. That is saying something about the author’s writing and really caring for these 3 main characters.
Walsh Bennett is a wealthy man and just saw the love of his life Kerris marry his best friend Cam. Relationships will never be the same after a secret kiss has been seen. And this is where we start book 2. . But I do recommend you read the first book, When You Are Mine. Because this is a part two of that book. I went in not knowing what had happened, but enough was covered to inform me of certain happenings in book 1 to where I wasn’t left wondering. Great read and I do highly recommend it.

3.5-4 stars
The conclusion to Kerris and Walsh's story will hurt your heart, but also fill it with joy. The story essentially picks up where book 1 left off and I was glad to see that the communication between characters was much better this time around. They each faced their feelings and fears, and were honest with each other. I felt like Kerris finally found her voice in this book and the scene with Sofie was great. I wouldn't have minded if she had gotten a slap in though. ;) I was sad to see Cam's downward spiral and he was pretty unlikable for most of the book. I appreciated that once the dust settled though, he acknowledged his part in all of this and also apologized for his actions the night that he saw Walsh and Kerris kiss. Walsh. *swoon* I loved that Walsh gave Kerris time and space, but also that he went after what he wanted. The events in the book were definitely tragic (and I hate to say it - convenient), but it worked for the story and characters. There's a lot of healing to be done in this book, and though I felt some things tied up a little too neatly, I was satisfied with how the story ended. I needed this HEA after all the heartache and pain in book 1 and Kennedy Ryan delivered. I'm happy that it seems like Jo will finally get her HEA too.

Lovely
Such a lovely conclusion to the love story of Walsh and Kerris. I loved his undying devotion to her. I understood her reluctance to finally be with him. There was so much pain in this book, but so much beauty as well.

Will they or won’t they? Cam and Kerris are married and expecting. Guess who’s not taking it well? Lots of emotion and lust and yearning and that slow burn. The steam factor is there just not as descriptive as some of the recent books I’ve read.

While this book was still full of angst, I liked this so much more than book 1. We finally got to see Kerris and Walsh really together - their chemistry was palpable and ultimately quite sweet. I'm still struggling with Jo, Cam, and most definitely Sophie so it'll take time for me to be ready for their books.
