Mommy's Late Night Book-up: ✯Release Review✯Truly Mine: Mason & Sophie, #1 (Roommate Duet #3) by Kennedy Fox

This is a friends-to-lovers roommate romance filled with drama, suspense, and, of course, plenty of angsty slow burn goodness you've come to expect in a Kennedy Fox book!

Truly Mine, Book 1

The night we met in the dimly lit bar, she looked like a brunette bombshell, and I wanted to learn her deepest secrets. With sun-kissed skin and soulful bedroom eyes, she was pure temptation, and I was mesmerized.

As one drink led to two, I craved more of her playful banter and taunting lips. Resisting her wasn't an option, and we quickly became a desperate mess of tangled limbs and hot kisses. She tasted like the sweetest sin, and I was no saint.

Once we caught our breaths, and it became obvious that meeting her wasn't a coincidence, everything changed. Now I must deny her at all costs.

Friends. It's all we can ever be.

After years of lying to myself and keeping her at a distance, I want to pull her close. Sophie's on my mind more than ever as my instincts to protect her take over. Regardless of my attempts to help, she pushes me away and makes it clear she doesn't need me.

I'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, to show her I'm the good guy, but one night takes a tragic turn for the worse when her boyfriend and I start throwing punches.

And ends when I'm arrested for his murder.

✯✯5 Nail Biting Stars!!!✯✯

Omg we’re finally getting Mason & Sophie’s story!!! Kennedy Fox ended Baby Yours with a gigantic explosion that set up perfectly into the start of their story.

Truly Mine starts off with Mason’s POV of what ended previously in Baby Yours that ended with Mason handcuffed charged with murder.

Sophie met Mason few years prior to that night. While waiting for her sister Lennon to show up at the bar with her then boyfriend Brandon, she met this guy who instantly made her feel things she’s never felt before. Sophie decides to do something she’s never done before. After a quickie in the bathroom which was the best she’s ever had, she learns the guy is Brandon’s best friend Mason. Then Mason tells Sophie he can’t rock the boat by being with her and she knows being around him will not be easy.

Mason doesn’t do relationships anymore. Not after everything that went down. Mason feels guilty no matter what anyone tells him. When he met Sophie he thought she might be the one he’d break his rules for and then she turned out to be Lennon’s older sister and Brandon would kill him if something happened between them.

For few years mason tried keeping Sophie at arms length but it was difficult. Sophie became extremely good friends with his best friend & roommate Liam, so her and her youngest sister Maddie were always at his house.

Mason hasn’t been with anyone since he was with Sophie and he doesn’t want to either. When Maddie talks Sophie into joining a dating app he knows he’ll loose Sophie and deep down he doesn’t want that.

When Sophie starts dating Weston everything changed for everybody. Sophie stopped coming around, stopped returning calls and texts and she was very withdrawn. Mason looked into Weston and learned he wasn’t who he said he was.

After the night everything went down Sophie moves in with Mason and Liam. Mason was home, not allowed to work thanks to his jerk father, the district attorney. That forced Sophie and Mason spent more than enough quality time together. Their chemistry was sizzling off the charts hot. Just when these two seem to have figured their crap out, the past comes knocking on their front door all over again.

My heart, soul and everything else loves Mason. Poor guy couldn’t catch a break. He was punishing himself for something that wasn’t even his fault and then was pushing away Sophie when he should’ve been holding her. By the time he realized it she’d moved onto the devil himself. Now, he’s trying to save her for the second time.

Sophie Sophie Sophie. I loved her in the previous two books. I still liked her but I’ve got issues with her. Sophie’s definitely naive and in my opinion stupid. She wanted somebody to love her so bad she was imagining her and Weston’s life together during their second date. Dunno if she was just trying to remove Mason from her heart & brain but she moved way to fast into that.

Just when I thought she had it figured out she brought somebody else into their lives who I didn’t trust from the beginning. But, now it’s Mason and Liam to the rescue lol literally.

I’m dying for Truly Yours BC this ending!!! Kennedy Fox sure ends their duets off on cliffhangers of death!! I’m also really looking forward to Maddie and Liam’s story BC these two are gunna be something else lol.
