About WHEN YOU ARE MINE
Forever is a heartbeat away . . .
Kerris Moreton knows how to make things work. Bounced from foster home to foster home as a kid, she adapted; when opportunity arose, she thrived. Now, about to open her own business and accept a marriage proposal, Kerris is ready to build the life she's always wanted. The only thing missing? A passionate connection with her would-be fiancé, Cam. Kerris wants to believe that sparks are overrated-until Walsh Bennett lights her up like the Fourth of July.
. . . but what about love?
As one of the East Coast's most eligible bachelors, Walsh enjoys financial independence, fulfilling work with his family's nonprofit, and plenty of female attention. But lately he's been distracted by the one woman he can't have. Lovely to look at and even sweeter to know, Kerris is the soul mate Walsh never thought he would find. The problem is, his best friend found her first . . .

MY REVIEW
I liked this book. The writing was good and it held my attention. Walsh meets Kerris and is instantly attracted to her. The only problem is she is engaged to his best friend Cam. Walsh is a good man who was raised with money but was taught values and to care for others from the start. He travels to other countries helping those in need.
Kerris has not had an easy up bringing. She has made something out of her life and now is engaged to Cam who has had the same type of start to life as her. She is a good person but very complacent.
This book was told mostly from Walsh's POV and I enjoyed being inside his head. Call it love at first sight, insta love or what ever else it may be. This was how Walsh felt the first time he Saw Kerris. Walsh could not shake her from his thoughts, she became ingrained in his head before he could even control it.
Kerris always trying to do the right thing she marries Cam and is a good wife and a good person. I did not feel that connected to her character but that could also be due to the book being mostly about Walsh. It is obvious that she is fighting some internal battle when she is around Walsh.
All the other characters in the book Sofie, Cam, Walsh's dad and cousin Jo were good additions to the book. I know there is so much more to all of them that I can not quite grasp and it leaves me very curious to see where they are going to go in the next book. I liked that there were some issues resolved in this book that left room for healing and helping Walsh grow up and understand that everything is not as it seems. I winder if the author did that for a reason.
I felt that the book was slow, but as I read it I realized that there is a purpose for it. With that purpose comes a cliffhanger that is a little different than the usual ones I have come across. I am not going to leave you with any quotes this time. I would recommend this book and look forward to the next one in this series.
ABOUT KENNEDY RYAN
Kennedy Ryan grew up in North Carolina, but loves living in Atlanta with her husband (tall – check, dark – check – handsome – check), and her handful of a son. Though she knew, like writers often do, that she was supposed to tell stories, the road to fulfillment has been paved with “some of everything” jobs that kept her family eating and living indoors. With her degree in Journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Go Tar Heels!), she has focused on writing for non-profit organizations and even doing some non-fiction ghost writing. Only in the last few years did she start telling stories again.
In addition to being a devoted wife and mom, she’s also a passionate advocate for families living with Autism. Her son was diagnosed at the age of two, and she has made it her mission to help as many families as possible find the resources and services they need. 25% of her royalties will go toward her national charitable partner Talk About Curing Autism and Myles-A-Part, her foundation serving Georgia families.
