  Blurb: Blaire Gibson knows better than to have one-night stands. She prides herself on her decision-making skills. It’s the one asset that has never let her down. But even the best thinkers have weaknesses. Hers is a delicious business mogul with a quick tongue. Unfortunately for her, that tongue is good for more than just talking. Holt Mason doesn’t need to justify anything to anyone. He wants Blaire. He pursues Blaire. And he gets Blaire because that’s how his life works. Until it doesn’t. What begins as a single night in a hotel room spirals into an unusual agreement. As late nights provide the space to trade secrets and walls come tumbling down, more is shared than just pillow talk. They both should’ve known better. They should’ve shown restraint. Because when guards are dropped, hearts get hurt.
  *RESTRAINT is a brand-new standalone romance from USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke.

Review Copy Provided to Author


Adriana Locke has introduced us to some fun families over the years. We've had the Landrys and the Gibsons and now she is giving us the Mason family. In this fun new series, we return to Savannah (home of the Landry's) and some old friends pop in to help tell the story of the oldest Mason, Holt, as he has a fateful encounter with Blair Gibson (yes, the elusive sister of THOSE Gibson boys).

With a fun meet cute, Blair and Holt's story sizzles from the beginning. I enjoyed their interactions filled with fantastic push/pull moments featuring their equally strong personalities and great chemistry. Ms Locke also had both Blair and Holt have emotional epiphanies along the way as well, these were handled gracefully. I found myself relating very much to Blair and rooting for her to have the happy ending she deserved.

The story in Restraint moves very quickly, but it works well. A fantastic secondary cast adds a dose of humor to the story and helps move things along (i e when both Blair and Holt need kicks in the pants) and I can't wait to get to know the remaining Mason brother's better.
