*Please note, LOVING YOU ALWAYS is book two in The Bennetts Series, book one is WHEN YOU ARE MINE
The man she can never have . . .Β
Kerris Moreton should be the happiest woman in the world: She has a successful business and is about to start the family she’s always wanted. But the man of her dreams-the one whose green eyes see straight into her soul and whose gentle hands make her body hum with pleasure-is not hers.
Each secret moment with Walsh Bennett serves to remind Kerris of what she’s missing. And every stolen hour makes it harder to see her future without him. But being with Walsh would betray a sacred promise and upend her perfect life. When tragedy strikes, the razor’s edge between love and loyalty grows sharper than ever. And Kerris must decide where her heart will fall

Reviewer’s Thoughts
A heart breaking love triangle,a heart breaking loss, a bitter sweet reunion and a HEA that will leave you teary eyed.
β Iβm sorry it took me so longβ
β I know itβs been a long time, but-β β worth the wait.β He had to cut her off, dragging his thumb over the one high cheekbone. β Donβt ever doubt you were worth the wait, Kerris.β
β Why, Walsh?β She whispered, her voice wavering and her eyes rimmed with tears.βWhy me?β β My heart didnβt give me a choice. I saw you and was gone almost from the beginning.β
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 authorβs writing and really caring for these 3 main characters.Β
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.Β And this is where we start book 2. . Β 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 wasnβt left wondering. Great read and I do highly recommend it.
Moving like an old woman, she shuffled into her bedroom and lay on the bed. She didnβt bother removing the kimono, but just slipped under the covers and went to sleep.
βIf you were ready for your someone special, what would she be like?β
Walsh looked away from Shelbyβs probing stare and directly into Kerrisβs eyes. He smiled that slow smile sheβd never seen him give to anyone else, reaching out to tangle his long fingers with hers. He pulled Kerris to him, towering over her, sheltering her. She had missed this feeling. In these few moments, she forgot about Shelby. Forgot about the world outside of these arms. There was only now. There was only them, and things were right. She wasnβt sure how it had happened, but things were finally right.
Walsh whispered her name like an incantation.
Kerris. Kerris. Kerris.
βKerris!β
βWalsh,β she muttered, still clawing her way out of the dream. She sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes and pulling the kimono close around her neck.
βWhatβd you just call me?β Cam stood in the semidark, the lamp illuminating the mounting rage on his face.
βCam! Oh, gosh. No. No, itβs notβ¦notββ she sputtered, still blinking heavy sleep from her eyes.
βIn your sleep!β Cam chopped a stiff hand through the air and leaned down until their noses almost touched. βAnd you have the nerve to accuse me of cheating? When you lie down beside me every night and dream about himβ
His hot, alcohol-soaked breath fanned her face. words were not crisp, but slurred, slopping around in his mouth, crowded out by anger and outrage.
βCam, youβve been drinking.β With false calm, she reached up to touch his face, wiping at the dampness on his forehead. βItβs been a volatile night for us both. Letβs talk about this tomorrow when weβre both in our right minds.β
Cam pushed her hand away.
βOh, Iβm finally in my right mind. I came back to talk things through. Give it one more chance, at least for the babyβs sake, but I had it right the first time. Iβm done.β
