About this listen

After serving a decade long prison sentence for an accident that resulted in my husband’s death, Noah Reid returns. Even if he was my childhood best friend and the first man I secretly loved, I refuse to make it easy for him. But the heart never forgets and those old repressed feelings quickly bubble to the surface.

Loving him is a dangerous game, but one I’m willing to play.

Flirting leads to falling between the sheets, and I’m forced to deal with the guilt of what we’re doing. Viciousness towards Noah runs rampant and while revenge trickles through the streets of Lawton Ridge, I realize there’s more on the line than just my heart. While I’m afraid that my son and I will be caught in the crossfire of those who want to hurt Noah, I can’t walk away.

Secrets are revealed and revelations are made, but losing him again isn’t an option - especially since I’m pregnant.

Holding You Away is a slow burn, angsty friends to lovers romance with lots of small-town, Southern drama. It's Book 2 in the Noah & Katie duet and must be listened to in order.

After everything that transpired in the first part of Katie and Noah’s story they are left trying to regroup. The love between them is stronger than ever but before they can have the future they both deserve they need to find out who is behind the threats before they strike again.

After the threat has been extinguished they turn their focus onto the relationship not only between them but with Owen as well. Katie shows how strong and resilient she truly is as handles whatever life throws at them while Noah proves that Katie and Owen are all that matters.

This is a story about a love that endures so much and a couple who have always belonged together which features captivating characters, hot chemistry, surprises and all the feels. I enjoyed the performance of the narrators as they brought the characters and their story to life.

Katie and Noah!

I was so excited for this and more than read after reading Pushing You Away and when this picked up right where PYA left off I knew it was going to go all the way off. And I was not disappointed in the slightest. Now because this is the second in a duet I can't say much but what I will say is that this was everything I needed it to be and much MUCH more. The twists, the turns, the angst, the steam it was all there and I was living for every page. If you have ever read a KF book before and even if you haven't I implore you to give The Ex-Con series of duets a try. You won't regret it, especially with Lia and Tor as the narrators. I volunteered to read and review an early copy of this. All opinions are my own.

These duets keep getting better

Holding You Close is the conclusion to Noah and Katie’s Duet. It is packed full of action, steamy romance, betrayal and love. I must say having read the book and listened to the audio book, I loved the audio version more! If you enjoyed Gemma and Tyler’s story, you will love Noah and Katie’s as well. Cannot wait to read Archer and Everleighs. Its going to be hot!

Loved the audio version!

Holding You Close jumped right back in where Pushing You Away left off and I was glad for that. We got to continue with the mystery of what was going on with Noah and Katie and the other characters. Some of them were just as rotten as I thought. Some were better than I imagined. And all in all this story turned out so great. I loved that it didn’t stop where I would have thought everything would have ended. There was clearly more story to tell and I enjoyed every moment of it. Lia Langola and Tor Thom also had me excited for this book because they once again gave a fantastic performance and had me absorbed in every moment of the story. I liked the setup for the next book with that last glimpse at Everleigh and cannot wait for her and Asher’s duet.

So much romance - couple/family time - loved it and was my favorite part. Low drama and happy how everything played out.

Excellent narration by two pros!

great conclusion - love this couple
