Baby Yours by Kennedy Fox
5.0

This review is for both Baby Mine & Baby Yours

There is a lot of story going on throughout this duet. It starts 2 years ago, Hunter and Lennon meet at a bar but before he gets his chance with her, Lennon goes home with Hunter’s best friend and roommate. Lennon and Brandon end up in a serious relationship and she eventually moves in with them. Hunter’s way of dealing with wanting his best friend's girl involves being a jerk to her. Lennon thinks Hunter is a jerk and Hunter is torn up inside watching the woman he loves, love his best friend. When Brandon dies unexpectedly, Lennon and Hunter are left to grieve together. For the first time Hunter is able to put away his mask and be his true self around Lennon. He shows her his sweet and caring side but it gets harder and harder to hide his feelings. Lennon is a mess, she misses Brandon and she ends up relying on Hunter more than she should.

"Everytime you pushed me away, I was determined to pull you closer. You fought me, and it only made me love you harder. You denied me, but I loved you from afar."

Things get complicated when Lennon discovers she is pregnant, and even more complicated when Hunter has a plan to tell Lennon’s parents. They share a few kisses that have more passion in them then they should. Lennon is still grieving Brandon but can she also be developing feelings for Hunter? I was a teary-eyed mess when Hunter put his heart out there and Lennon wasn’t ready for it. The characters showed so much growth throughout the books. As they grieved together and comforted each other their strength grew individually and as a couple. Lennon had a long journey throughout these books, she had to deal with her grief, her new feelings for Hunter, her parents and a past hook up of Hunter’s all while being pregnant. When she finally cannot deny her love for Hunter any longer, she is afraid she lost her chance and that she made Hunter wait too long.

“I am ridiculously, madly, desperately in love with you. And I want you. If you'll have me, I. Want. You.”

This is a slow, slow burn with lots of back and forth. Hunter is an absolute saint for sticking around through all of this. Kennedy Fox wrote this so brilliantly. The slow burn and then months that pass throughout the duet make it more believable for Lennon to work through her grief and begin developing new feelings. This book was a wild emotional ride, very sweet, and full of angst. It destroyed my heart and made me fall in love with Hunter.
