I DEVOURED this book. I read it in a matter of hours. I was sucked into Tyler and Gemma’s story and just couldn’t put it down until I about through my kindle across the room at the cliffhanger.

Tyler Blackwood was first introduced in Liam and Maddie’s duet and from that moment I was hooked. I wanted to know about him. Now, out of prison for the crimes he didn’t commit, he returns to his hometown in Alabama. Gemma has had a crush on Tyler forever, she wrote him while he was in the military and once he came home they had an amazing 3 months together. He left and had no plans of ever coming home. Now twelve years later, they are forced to work together and she is engaged to another man….

I love Tyler. I have from the moment his character was introduced. He is a great friend and has proven that when it comes to Liam and Maddie. He loves his sister and wanted the best life possible for her, especially since their parents weren’t the best. He still never got over Gemma. You can feel and see how much he cares for her. Gemma still has feelings for Tyler, too. However, she keeps telling herself she’s moved on. She’s happy and about to be married. However, the chemistry between Tyler and Gemma is scorching. So many times I was just rooting for them to give into the chemistry.

I love where this story is going. There is heat and drama all over the place. Tyler wants revenge against the woman who put him in prison and he isn’t afraid to do whatever it takes to get that revenge. I love the secondary characters in this story, too. Of course, there is more Liam and Maddie (who I adore), plus Tyler’s sister, Everleigh, who is fully of sassy. Plus, Gemma and Everleigh’s best friend, Katie, and her adorable son Owen.

But seriously, Kennedy Fox, that ending. I CANNOT WAIT to see how Tyler and Gemma’s story ends! This is a great start to a new duet and a MUST READ!
