This Much is True ~ Adriana Locke ~ New Release & Review

 


When celebrity Laina Kelley bolted from her small hometown church on her wedding day, she ran to the first place that came to mind—to the home of the local farrier, a gorgeous playboy who just so happens to be her first love ... and biggest frenemy. 


This Much Is True by Adriana Locke is now live! 


USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke delivers a new “sweet and spicy!” standalone romance about a runaway bride who finds herself in the arms, and horse barn, of her deliciously handsome frenemy—who just so happens to be her first love.


This isn’t your average romance. It begins with me in a wedding dress, just not at an altar …


I never expected to be a runaway bride. I also never thought I’d end up on my ex’s doorstep to flee from said wedding. Now that I’m here, it’s easy to find the key in an old boot by the door and let myself inside. It’s not breaking and entering if I have a key, right?


It’s safe to say that Luke Marshall didn’t expect to find me on his couch in my wedding dress, my veil over my face in tears. He has no choice but to listen to my panic-induced plea for salvation. It’s only a matter of time before the tabloids get wind of my disappearing act, and my life is over.


Luke takes pity on me and says I can stay… on one condition.


I can’t sing for my supper—I have to earn it. I have to work in the barn alongside him, up to my elbows in horse manure. Oh—and because there’s only one bed, I get the couch.


This works … in theory. However, when sparks start flying, and the small-town farrier asks me to stay, I’ll have to decide between my life as a pop star or a second chance with my first love.

This Much Is True (Marshall Family, #2)Elizabeth's Review

My rating: 4 of 5 stars - Worth a Reader's Time


Review Copy Provided by Author


The Marshall family is back! This time we get to spend time with middle sibling Luke as the love of his life, Laina, comes back into the picture in a very unexpected way.

Laina comes bearing emotional scars and baggage that she didn’t have when they knew each other before and there are definitely pieces of their history that we are missing when they first reconnect, but their magic radiates. I appreciated the fact that Luke seemed to just know what Laina needed when she first arrived and gave her the space to figure out her life.

The past rears its head and creates tension, but nudged our couple out of limbo and into making decisions that were coming their way no matter what.

It was fun to get more glimpses of Luke’s siblings and I hope they have stories coming soon. Loyal Locke fans will also see a couple of cameos from previous series!
