Needing You Close
Tyler & Gemma #2

Release Date: August 13

I never expected to see my first love again after he left me twelve years ago. Though I’ve moved on, working with Tyler is no easy task—especially when he focuses his bedroom eyes on me. Flirting with the past is like playing with fire, and considering I’m engaged, I’m bound to get burned.
When the man I promised to marry reveals he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, I run to the safety of Tyler’s strong arms. As we grow closer, so do our feelings. Threats and ultimatums are made, and the revelation of the truth is enough to bring me to my knees. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my family, even if it means shredding my heart.
Too dangerous, too unpredictable, too risky to handle alone—we need each other now more than ever.
After our world nearly collapses, there’s nothing left to do but take it back. Tyler and I team up to destroy the people who are determined to ruin our second chance at a happily ever after. Though our love is undeniable, I just hope it’s enough. We’ll fight until the end to be together—regardless of who tries to get in our way.

Needing You Close is the conclusion to Gemma and Tyler’s duet in Kennedy Fox’s brand new Ex-Con Duet series. This book should be read after reading Keeping You Close. Needing You Close is not a standalone and picks up right where Keeping You Close leaves off.

Because this is the conclusion to Tyler and Gemma’s duet, I decided not to go indepth with the storyline portion of my review in order to avoid all spoilers. I’m going to skip straight to what I thought about the novel.

I have been waiting to get my hands on this book ever since I finished the first book in Tyler and Gemma’s duet. I needed answers especially after a certain person decided to show her face once again. I legit felt my heart fall to the floor with that final chapter…. I needed this book! I needed their conclusion mainly because I had so many questions. Now that Gemma and Tyler’s duet has come to a close, I’m finding myself sitting here with a mixed array of emotions. These two literally sparked a spot inside my heart.

Tyler is still getting used to being back home with his sister, his first love, and a gossiping town where everybody knows his business. He’s still his swoony, ego stricken self. He still has a heart of gold and the protective instinct when it comes to Gemma.

Gemma was a bit more flighty in this novel. I loved the moments she spent with Tyler… but everything else had me wanting to shake this character so damn bad! I wanted her to woman up and open her eyes to all the wonderful things standing in front of her. I felt at times her character was meant to show strength…. But that strength would dissipate after a few chapters, before revealing itself once again. Her character was a bit wishy washy for my liking.

A 3.5 star rating is a tad bit low for what I usually rate a Kennedy Fox novel. I loved the romance between Tyler and Gemma…. But the rest of the story felt a bit predictable and I can honestly say I predicted this one from start to finish. I needed more of the suspense and more mysterious vibes. So while I loved the romance and the smoldering sexy as sin scenes between Tyler and Gemma…. It wasn’t enough to push my rating up to a 4 star.

Overall, Keeping You Close was an okay read.I loved the romance and I liked the storyline. I wanted love all across the board, but as I have come to learn, it’s simply impossible to love everything an author puts out into the world.

In the end, I can’t wait for Noah and Katie’s story!!!! This one is going to be just as sweet as it’s going to be sexy. I can feel a serious scandal in the air with these two!!!!

Peace Love and Happy Reading,
