Forcing You Away

Archer & Everleigh, #1 (Lawton Ridge Duet Series, Book 5)

De: Kennedy Fox

Narrado por: Lia Langola, Tor Thom

As I search for a fresh start, a friend convinces me to move to his small town. Considering I don’t have a place to live, his little sister offers me her spare room.

She’s every man’s dream - witty, down to earth, and gorgeous as hell - too bad she’s off-limits. Unspoken words and stolen glances have me eager to please her in all the forbidden ways. My broken past makes it hard to open up, however, she inspires me to face my demons and be the man she deserves.

I shouldn’t fantasize about my roommate, but it’s impossible when Everleigh’s sleeping next to me - her lips whispering my name.

Forcing You Away is book one in the Archer & Everleigh duet and must be listened to first.

Blown Away

I was blown away by this emotional, slow burn romance and I’m really not sure what I can say that will do Archer and Everleigh’s love story justice so I guess I just need to tell you how Forcing You Away made me feel. The narration team of Tor Thom and Lia Langola did a fantastic job bringing these characters to life and they made the tension and emotion feel very real. If you love slow burn romance with a bit of angst look no further than this great listen.
Archer gets out of prison and heads to meet his new roommate set up by Tyler and surprise Ev is his new roomie and their first meeting is hilarious but what follows is an emotional, entertaining, slow burn watching two people fight their feelings until they explode. So is this the end or is it just the beginning…….
I have to say be warned you will be left wanting more and the ending will come as a shock but it will leave you excited for the conclusion.

it's good to break the rules

Everleigh and Archer are so good together ❤. their chemistry and the banter are to die for! the Narrators really bring Archer and Everleigh to life, putting me even more on edge to hear part 2 of their story!

Worth the Wait

I was so excited about listening to this book on audio, that the moment I received it I dug right in. Lia Langola and Tor Thom never disappoint and this one left me craving the next book in this duet on audio.

5 Slow Burn Stars

Forcing You Away is Book 1 in Archer and Everleigh’s Duet in the Ex-Con Duet Series by Kennedy Fox.

If you’ve read any of the previous duets then you’ve already met Tyler’s sister, Everleigh. Everleigh is an independent spitfire with a heart of gold who knows how to have fun and live life to fullest. She’s one of those people you meet and instantly want to be best friends with. What you see is what you get with Everleigh.

Archer was Everleigh’s brother’s cellmate in prison. Knowing how hard it was to start over after recently being released from prison himself—Tyler offers Archer a job at his new gym and a place to stay with Everleigh until he’s able to get back on his feet. Archer is Everleigh’s opposite in many ways. He’s quiet and reserved, the introvert to Everleigh’s extravert. They balanced each other out so perfectly.

Though Tyler had warned both Archer and Everleigh away from each other—these two were drawn to each other from the very start. Neither had much experience in the relationship department. Archer wasn’t sure he could handle Everleigh and he was certain that she deserved better than an ex con. Not to mention the fact he didn’t went to disrespect Tyler. Everleigh had always been content with hookups and settling down had never crossed her mind.

What began as friendship between these two slowly and surely grew to something more. Resisting each other became harder each day as they spent more time together. It’s turns out Archer and Everleigh had more to overcome than their relationship inexperience and Tyler’s warnings because someone from the past is lurking in the shadows and they’re intent these two never get their chance at a happily ever after. Prepare yourself for the cliffhanger at the end of Book 1 because boy is it a doozy.

Although Forcing You Away was a slower burn than usual for Kennedy Fox, the duo more than made up for it with witty banter and sexual tension you could cut with a knife. I absolutely loved these two and how completely opposite they were but how utterly perfect they were together. I’m so eager to continue their story in the next book in Archer and Everleigh’s Duet, Wanting You Close.

As they have in the previous duets in the Ex Con Duet Series, Tor Thom and Lia Langola did a fantastic job bringing Archer and Everleigh’s story to life. I’m never disappointed when this pair is narrating together.

Everleigh and Archer been waiting on this one

Kennedy Fox has delivered yet another great story from this wonderful series. I was anxious for Everleigh and Archer’s story but man it was far better than expected. No spoilers!!! Let’s just say you won’t be disappointed in the book or the audible version. Tor and Lia have done an outstanding job through this whole series and they will not disappoint in this duet. Oh, I am so ready to move on to the conclusion and yes this is a cliffhanger but no worries because it will be well worth the credit.
I was honored to received an arc copy of this audible version and I’m voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Another hit in Lawton Ridge, Ex-Con series....

Another intriguing start to another duet by Author Kennedy Fox! Narrators Lia Langola and Tor Thom portrayed the characters well. Archer Boone just got out prison and starting over. He is grateful for the opportunity to start living in a small town with friend Tyler and with a place to live with his sister, Everleigh Blackwood. Living in a town where not a very limited number of people who his history.

Living with Everleigh is anything by dull. She is a very feisty, down-to-earth, beautiful woman who gets under his skin. She is to not his typical type of girl and yet is someone he cannot seems to stay away from. Since this arrangement, Tyler constantly says that to his friend and sister that his sister is off-limits.

As the story progresses you seen the undeniable relationship forming between Archer and Everleigh. They both have a history that they are facing and afraid of more being reveal and really think of reality would either make or break them on a personal level &/or public matter.

Get ready for this series to consume you. It is filled with fun banter along with snippets/updates of the characters from the Ex-Con Series. After that jaw dropping cliffy you will be itching for more stat!

"Better Than Sex" Cake

Tor Thom and Lia Langola always come through with Kennedy Fox audio. They make every couple come to life in a way my mind can't. Kennedy Fox always writes the best stories for each couple. Archer is the bad boy everyone wants but Everleigh catches him first and isn't going to let him go anytime soon!!

Sassy and Broody...

Holy steaming hotness! Archer and Everleigh are explosive together. Their chemistry is off the charts. The ever so slow burn ratcheted up in big notches until they couldn’t force each other away anymore. The greatest this about their relationship is that they laid a strong foundation founded on friendship. They really got to know each other and fell in love before they incinerated the sheets! But that cliffhanger! Who???? Why???? Darn it!

Tor Thom exudes Archer's broody, contemplative nature to a T. Lia Langola brings the sassy attitude of Everleigh to life. Together Tor and Lia bring Archer and Everleigh to life!

I received a complimentary copy of the audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this review.
