{Blog Tour & Giveaway} Loving You Always (The Bennetts #2) by Kennedy Ryan (@KennedyRWrites)

The man she can never have . . . 

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.

Walsh Bennett has everything and yet nothing.  He was born into wealth and privilege but he can’t have the one woman that he loves.  He throws himself into work and lives just outside the orbit of her life – watching as she marries and starts a family with his best friend. 

 When tragedy threatens, he rushes to her side regardless of the consequences. He makes a silent vow that if he ever gets a second chance to claim her – he will grab it with both hands.

“Kerris, at my mom’s funeral, I let you go. I did the right thing. You were pregnant. You were Cam’s.” Kerris gulped, hoping he wasn’t about to go there. She didn’t have the strength. “I don’t have that resolve anymore. Not like I did.” She felt his lips in her hair. “I came too close to losing you for good, and I can’t promise to always let you go.”

Kerris tried to love another man and honor her marriage vows.  But her heart always belonged to Walsh.  The delicate house of cards that she built has fallen at her feet taking with it everything she though she wanted.  Can they rebuild a new life together or will the mistakes and hurts of the past be too much to overcome?

“So this was love. This fear; this need. This insatiable thirst that racked her soul when she thought of him. The tremble of her hands when he was near. The catch in her breath at the thought of his hands on her body. The tenderness when she considered what an amazing man he truly was. The possessiveness that sluiced through her at even the thought of him with someone else. Was he truly hers?”

Loving You Always is the extraordinary second installment of the Bennett Series!  Kennedy continues to craft her story with the perfect amounts of bittersweet sorrow and longing.  It was clear to me from the beginning that Walsh and Kerris belonged together and it was so satisfying to see them get their happily ever after.  She even made me feel for Cam at the end and now I can’t wait for Be Mine Forever…

Exclusive Excerpt - 

“Is there someone else?” Shelby asked, her eyes braver than the uncertain tone of her voice.

Walsh paused, glancing down before looking back at Shelby. Kerris wondered if anyone else detected the shutters he had just pulled over his eyes.

“Like you said, it’s been quite a year. I haven’t had a lot of time for much besides work and doing my part with the foundation.”

“So there’s no one special?” Shelby fished, using her grin as bait.

“There are many special women in the world.” Walsh offered a scrap metal smile, giving Shelby nothing new to work with. “Just not for me right now.”

“If you were ready for your someone special, what would she be like?”

Walsh lowered a thick fan of lashes, concealing his eyes. Concealing his thoughts. For a moment it seemed he wouldn’t answer Shelby’s question, but then he looked back up, and there was an unexpected intensity in his eyes.

“She’d be compassionate. She’d be someone with a strong sense of what’s right, and doing what is right, no matter what. She’d be loyal and fearless.”

Shelby leaned forward, obviously thrilled that the usually reticent Walsh Bennett was revealing so much.

“And beautiful?”

“It would be incidental.” Walsh pushed his broad shoulders into a dismissive shrug. “The qualities I’d be looking for are…elusive. Rare.”

“Have you ever met a woman who embodied all these things?”

“Yes,” Walsh said without pause, his face a riddle no one would be able to solve. His quick smile, the answer. “My mother.”

Kerris hastily wiped the tears she hadn’t meant to shed. She turned the TV off, jumping at the sound of Al Green crooning “Call Me (Come Back Home),” the ring tone Cam had chosen for his phone. She doubted he had one song from this century in his collection. If it wasn’t on vinyl, he didn’t want it. She glanced around the room, searching for his phone before she realized the sound was coming from the office. She grabbed it in case he was calling looking for it. The ringing stopped abruptly, replaced by the ding signaling he had a new text message.

I told you I had something special for you. Call me when you get this.
