College parties, beer, and one-night stands—that was my life. Now, I hunt criminals. Drinking and women are still included, though I can’t seem to forget the underage girl who almost gave me her virginity. I stopped it before it happened and kicked her out. Years later, we’re reunited. She’s no longer underage but still equally off-limits. After ignoring her relentless advances, she wears me … relentless advances, she wears me down. I only have so much willpower when she’s around, which is all the damn time now that we’re roommates. 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.
ALWAYS MINE is book 1 in the Liam & Maddie duet and must be read first.

What a fabulous read from Kennedy Fox!!
If you follow my blog and reviews, you know how much I absolutely adore this author duo. They have written some of my all time favourite novels in the past while.
Liam and Madelyn are two characters with an unbelievable chemistry and connection. They were a couple that not only will you fall in love with because of the passion, but also because who they are as people. There is so much back and fourth action taking place between them, that the smart mouth, and witty comebacks will have you constantly wanting more.
Despite the facts that there were moments that you might not be a huge fan of where you think the story may be going, think again. Keep reading, and I promise, you are going to love every second of it.
I cannot wait to see what is going to happen next in Always Yours.
5/5 Stars!
Holy flipping cow! The explosive writing by Kennedy Fox is expected, but they out did themselves with “Always Mine.” I mean I could NOT put it down! Liam and Maddie’s story was long anticipated and the wait is finally over! Since “Baby Mine” we meet Maddie, the youngest Corrigan sister. Maddie moves to CA for school but also to escape her overbearing parents. Maddie is so wild and free spirited. All she wants is love from her long time crush Liam. Liam is a force and one of the hardest shells to crack. With Liam’s job, troubled childhood, and sketchy choices it’s almost impossible for him to love Maddie. In this book we get the full picture of who Maddie and Liam are. Maddie and Liam were electric from day one! They’ve officially taken the spot as my new favorite book couple! With the Roommate Duet Series, we get all the feels in each book. “Always Mine” was no exception! They had all the right ingredients for a perfect book! So much banter, steaminess, action, and (of course romance).The Kennedy Fox ladies leave you wanting more with “Always Yours” the sequel and last book in the Roommate Duet Series! “Always Yours” goes live 2/18!
I seriously had to wait a few days to get my emotions in check before writing this review. Ladies you both are hands down AMAZING!!! You never disappoint on giving us a rollercoaster ride full of all the gut wrenching, heart breaking, love making & highly emotional feels. Your stories are embedded in my soul so much that I will NEVER forget these characters.
Maddy and Liam have truly broke the mold. I couldn’t have imagined a better road for their love story. Ladies I need their HEA like I need my next breath. Their story is the one I most anticipated and I CAN NOT stress enough how AMAZING it truly is. Ladies! Gents! Anyone who is out there…you NEED to read this book!!!!
Liam and Maddie are up and these two were definitely the most anticipated of the group. From the start you could tell there was something there, something happened and I’ve been DYING to know what is going to happen with these two.
Maddie is the youngest of her family, also the most rebellious and blunt. The girl has no filter which definitely can get her in trouble. Liam is the last single one out of his group of friends, he works a lot and doesn’t have time for a relationship. A playboy through and through. However, there is something about Maddie that he is drawn to, but he knows he needs to stay away.
I loved these two. Maddie is young and her personality definitely reflects that at times. I LOVE that fact that Liam is a Fugitive Recovery Agent, I wanted more of that (even though I may be the only one). The two of them had chemistry, but with the age difference and Liam feeling like he isn’t the man Maddie truly deserves keeps them apart, but that doesn’t mean that Maddie will have a little fun. She has made is a second job with how frequently she teased him and tried to break him down.
I knew going into this book that I would probably end up wanting to throw my kindle across the room and I got close. I can’t wait to see what is in store for Liam and Maddie in Always Yours!
„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 enge 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!
Well hello there spicy opener! Always Mine sprints out of the gate with gusto and keeps you hooked from page to page. Liam and Maddie have a complicated past, but as always, love and good old-fashioned lust find their way. A delish read!
Maddie and Liam are taking me on an emotional rollercoaster. From the moment they met, their connection was combustible. Liam is doing his best to keep Maddie at arms length since she is younger than him and is Sophie and Lennon’s baby sister. When Maddie has to move out of her dorm, living with Sophie, Mason and Liam is the best solution, especially for Maddie as she works on breaking down Liam’s walls. Maddie makes it an art form to get under Liam’s skin. I am impressed with his self-control as he combats all of her advances. But Liam finds himself with bigger issues after he lets an acquaintance in Vegas pull him into higher stakes games. When he loses, he finds that he now owes the mob half of the buy in, a dollar amount he doesn’t have. Getting out of this situation is a real challenge. Will Maddie wear down Liam’s defenses? How will Liam repay his debt? Intense drama, funny banter and a wonderful cast of characters, all of which kept me glued to the page needing to know what would happen next. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
Woah, it feels like I’ve been waiting for this FOREVER. But, it was so with the wait!
Fire and Ice, forbidden attraction and scorching chemistry, sweetness and disappointment- this book had me absolutely captivated. If I wasn’t already crushing on Liam, I definitely am now! YUM
Liam and Maddie are now my favourite Kennedy Fox couple and I can’t wait to read the conclusion to their story.
Through out this entire series I have been so excited for Maddie and Liam‘s story! With the way Truly Yours ended, I couldn’t wait to hear the back story of what was going on – and, boy, did we get that and so much more!
I love Liam and Maddie. Maddie is a typical youngest child and love to be the center of attention. But she really just wants to be the center of Liam’s attention – and she’ll do what ever she needs to get it. I love how persistent Maddie is about what they could have even when Liam constantly denies it. Maddie’s growth in this book was amazing to see.
Liam is a truly loyal friend who just wants to do the right thing for everyone, especially Maddie. He unselfishly loves everyone around him and will do what ever he has to to keep them safe.
I can’t wait for Always Yours to get the conclusion to their story! Just like their friends, these two deserve their HEA after all they’ve been through!!
Liam and Maddie’s relationship had been brewing for a long time and with “Always Mine”, Kennedy Fox has finally answered all of our questions with a passionate, romantic and heart wrenching story. We find out how they first met, how difficult it was for Liam to resist Maddie and if she can possibly deal with his hot and cold behavior.
Liam would always remember his steamy encounter with Maddie, and he never thought he would ever see her again. What were the chances that Maddie was the kid sister of Lennon and Sophie, who were his best friend’s wife and girlfriend? This complicated his life to no end so he took extra jobs, went to Las Vegas to gamble and tried his best to stay away from her, but it was a losing battle. She was always on his mind and being in the same room with her made him crazy. Liam was very protective of Maddie and felt that her safety was his main concern. His gambling habit came back to haunt him when he made a deal with the devil, and he was now being held prisoner by a power greater than himself. Liam had many regrets but the biggest one was never telling Maddie how he really felt about her. She was all he ever wanted but now she was slipping away from him and there was nothing he could do about it. His hands were tied, his heart was shattered and his life as he knew it, was over.
Always Mine is charged with intense chemistry and was impossible to put down!! Liam and Maddie’s tale weave in and out of the prior roommate duets, but their story is uniquely their own. The writing duo of Kennedy Fox really outdid themselves this time. You will be on the edge of your seat awaiting the moment when life decisions come to ahead.
While Liam and Maddie are each other’s best kept secrets, they also are known to drive each other crazy with their sarcastic taunts and bickering. Throughout the years it has been the norm for these two. We finally get a glimpse into why these two run hot and cold and it is page turning gold.
Liam may have some of the cliché male hangups about staying away from Maddie; he’s broken, he works too much, she’s too young, etc…, but what I love about him (and frankly what I’ve always loved about him in every book in this series) is his giant heart which he then brings along with it a huge over-protectiveness to everyone around him. That not only extends to his friends/family, but when he’s working. It is really his core value system that helps him do his job to track down the scum who have eluded the justice system. He emphasizes with those who have suffered at the hands of at the criminals which in turn makes him not feel so bad if he has to taze or tackle them if they decide to run. Liam has been a true joy to get to know better. His big tough exterior that pours out sarcasm and sex appeal, is also loaded with big squishy emotions that he doesn’t let anyone see. He is truly delicious.
Maddie is the youngest sister of three, raised in a strict, religious household, but by far the most rebellious. She has had a crush on Liam for years and hasn’t exactly been quiet about it, but with her grueling college schedule and even more so to Liam pushing her aside, it has remained a crush. Maddie is bold and daring and says pretty much whatever is on her mind. As much as it would drive some crazy, it is actually one of the things Liam loves about it, but he also would never screw up what he considers his family by starting anything with the girl who drives him crazy in the best way possible. Both of Maddie’s sisters are involved with his best friends and those friends are Liam’s family. He doesn’t do relationships so Maddie is off limits. If he screwed it up, which he’s pretty sure he would, he would never risk losing his family because of it.
Even though Liam does so much to try and protect those he loves, he also makes mistakes and in the end creates a mess of everything around him. Always Mine is a burning inferno of chemistry between Liam and Maddie and does end on a cliffhanger. This is only the first part of a duet and I’m on pins and needles dying to know what the outcome will be for these two in the next installment.
Heartbreaker!
Man. I knew going in that Liam & Maddie’s story would be a emotional ride.
I love Maddie’s character so much! She’s so much like sunshine in a bottle.
And Liam. Swoon.
Man he gets in over his head. And honestly, I’m on edge Of my seat on how he’ll get out of this!
It’s a duet. Conclusion comes out 2/4/20.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Kennedy Fox
OMG!!! I’m on the edge of my seat reading this book, I want to dive in and choke Liam, then I want to hug him, then I want to kill him again! Maddie is a pain in the ass, but she knows what she wants and she goes for it. She has always wanted Liam from the day they met at a frat party. Now three years later, the feelings are stronger than ever! Only Liam is totally hands off still, he does not think he is good enough for Maddie.
The twists and turns are incredible, and throw in some mafia influence and you have the perfect recipe for disaster, and the cliffhanger will blow you away. Good thing we know that these duets always end in a BANG!!!
We’ve watched the back and forth, the banter, the verbal sparring between Liam and Maddie since the day they showed up again in each other’s lives. Liam is very alpha and Maddie is independent and fiery. They know how to push each others buttons like nobody else does and as entertaining as it is to watch at times, there are other times that you just feel the sense of dread at what you can feel is about to happen.
This can be read as a stand alone, but you get a much fuller picture that adds to the angst if you’ve read the others in the series. As much as I’m cheering for Liam and Maddie to finally find their way together, theirs is a story that is filled with angst, heartache, obstacles, secrets, snarky banter and yes, even plenty of heat. I can’t wait for the conclusion to their story.
Always Mine, the story of Liam and Maddie is one of my most anticipated romance of 2020. And Kennedy Fox did not disappoint me at all. They plunged the knife of angst and heartbreak right in my heart. And they also healed it with the sweetest, purest and most honest emotions. Liam and Maddie’s breathtaking and intense connection will steal your heart instantly.
First things first. You HAVE TO read the previous books in this series of interconnected standalones because else you won’t be able to read those because of spoilers. Maddie is the youngest of Corrigan sisters. She is a rebellious spirit, a fiery storm and a lively soul full of sass, smart and sexiness. Her elder sisters Sophie and Lennon are in relationship with Mason and Hunter respectively. Those guys are best friends and the third guy in their group is Liam. Bounty hunter,gorgeous as sin, commitment phobe, playboy extraordinaire, loyal friend and golden heart Liam. And for him sweet, innocent and too young Maddie is off limits. Reasons? See above.
But that does not stop him feeling insane attraction and deep connection with Maddie. And it certainly does not stop Maddie from incessantly trying to break his walls down. It’s all fun and flirt and slow burn till Liam’s mistake wrecks it all. A surprise that is threatening to end everything ever before their story started. And this is going to be an epic journey through heartache, deception, desperation and life changing twists.
Liam and Maddie are couple goals. Kennedy Fox expertly poured every kind of emotions in their life. The butterflies in stomach kind of feeling from true friendship and easy camaraderie. The longing of wanting something they cannot have. The burning rage and heartache from the unfair intrusion in their dream world. This was the best and worst kind of slow burn. The electrifying chemistry intensified by constant push and pull. And we readers are caught in middle of the battle. Liam is trying to save her and protect her by hurting her. He is a changed man for Maddie. And she is trying to trust him beyond her bruised heart. But it was so difficult !My heart was breaking into tiny pieces for their pain. And that ending left me in an emotionally messed up state. The friends and sisters play a solid role and I was so happy to be reunited with my favorite people!
Kennedy Fox pulled the strings of my heart in Always Mine and made it bleed and heal at the same time. I was drowning in incredibly complex and angsty feelings. And I will absolutely come back for more. Because I am addicted to this beautiful story!
Received ARC for Honest review
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.
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.
The Roommate series by Kennedy Fox continues with Liam and Madelyn’s duet. Always Mine is book 1 and it has a twist that you won’t see coming!!! If you have read the previous books (which I highly Recommend in order to have the full story) then you have probably been curious about Liam’s behavior and if Madelyn will be able to fully break him down. Kennedy Fox will answer all of the questions plus more!!! I will say for how good Liam is at his job I was surprised with the stupid decisions he made. My heart broke for Madelyn but was amazed at how strong and resilient her character is!!
Kennedy Fox and her duets always get me and finally we have Maddie and Liam’s story. These two are into each other no matter how much Liam denies it. I loved that no matter how much she gets a no from Liam, Maddie is determined to make him see how right they belong together. The sexual chemistry is all there yet there is something about Liam that he keeps guarded always stepping back from Maddie. Liam has no idea what to do with Maddie and boy does Kennedy Fox make their interactions fun all the way seeing them circle each other around. This is the first duet and just like Kennedy Fox does she leaves you wanting more. Cannot wait for the sequel and what Liam will do next.
