Release Blitz + Review | Truly Mine (Roommates Duet: Mason & Sophie #1) by Kennedy Fox --> 5
TITLE: Truly Mine
SERIES: Roommates Duet, Mason & Sophie #1 AUTHOR: Kennedy Fox
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
RELEASE DATE: August 13th, 2019
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, but 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 "Netflix Nights" Stars
Kennedy Fox always achieves to steal my heart with beautiful love stories and Truly Mine is another one of these brilliant romances. This first novel in the Mason & Sophie Duet is a delicious slow burn, full of angst and poignant scenes! I adored every second of this wonderful story that gave me all the feels and kept me on my toes with anticipation!
"Sophie is a ray of sunshine on my dark, stormy days, and she has no idea I use my asshole ways to hide behind my true feelings."
While it’s not essential to have read the Hunter & Lennon Duet before, I highly recommend it to understand better the dynamic between the group of friends. Truly Mine starts exactly where the the previous duet ended, but we don’t get answers right away about that fateful night. The writers do a wicked trick and transport us into flashbacks starting from Sophie and Mason’s first meeting until that unfortunate night three years later. Needless to say that all read long I was so eager to discover Mason’s destiny, but at the same time completely captured by this couple’s tumultuous relationship through the years.
I couldn’t have loved the Mason more! He tries for years to stay away from Sophie, even if he can’t forget their blissful one-night stand. Seeing her so frequently is difficult for him and he acts like a jerk with her. I felt for him and his struggle with his past. He’s clearly still haunted by a tragic event and is not ready to open up his heart again. As much as he denies his feelings for Sophie by acting harsh, he is also very protective of her and it shows his true feelings for the girl!
"You have the best heart, Mason Holt. Even if you shieled it, even when you push people away, even if you think otherwise."
Sophie is really sweet and caring. I loved her friendship with Liam; Those two always ready to make Mason a little jealous with their playful banter. Her relationship with her sister is so funny and interesting too. The Corrigan sisters are really tight. She lives difficult situations in this book that made me cry and hurt for her. She wants Mason, but tries to move on and it’s not easy!
I was dying for Mason and Sophie’s little moments together. From the back and forth and hostility, to the moments they grow closer everything was perfectly well paced. You feel the air charged with electricity when they’re together. The attraction and love oozing from them is simply spellbinding!
"Sophie Corrigan has brought me back to life, breathed meaning into my soul, and has given me hope."
Overall, I adored this sweet story with emotional elements! We’ve only breach a fraction of Mason and Sophie’s potential as a couple and I need more with that surprizing ending that left me completely stunned!!
