Listening to Crave was such a fun experience. The story and characters are utterly delightful and realistic. I think Peck and Nana are my favorite characters. They kept me laughing throughout the story and constantly put a smile on my face. Not only was the story Adriana Locke created fantastic, but the narration was wonderful. Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross brought these characters to life. It was like I was sitting next to Hal and Peck at the bar visiting Machlan for a drink.

Even though I jumped right into the middle of the Gibson brothers series with Crave, I wasn't lost or confused. Now I just need to pick up the rest of the Gibson men's books.

I voluntarily received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely loved this book I think Mach makes the story with his broody mood and over protectiveness. He feels like he doesn’t deserve anything good in his life especially Hadley because he thinks he is such a screw up. What he doesn’t realize is Hadley loved him deeply flaws and all.

I might’ve loved this one at the time I finished it. I’m not sure. It’s been a few days, so I’m remembering it as almost hitting that mark but not quite. I loved these characters together, and I loved that they were dynamic and had real emotions and lives. Their backstory was surprising and heart wrenching. The biggest plus to this story was how involved the rest of the Gibson family was. I really love their whole dynamic.

Crave is book 3 in The Gibson Boys series. This book is told from dual points of view by Hadley Jacobs and Machlan Gibson.

Hadley and Machlan were friends and then eventually started seeing each other when they were younger. Something happened that tore them apart.

Now years later Machlan owns a bar, and Hadley is back in town before she starts her new job. They both still have feelings for each other, but not sure if they can get over what happened in the past.

I loved the banter between both Machlan and Hadley. We learn what happened in the past and how both Machlan and Hadley handled it. When Machlan and Hadley start hanging out again, their feelings for each other get stronger again.

What happens when Hadley has to go back to her new job? Will Machlan and Hadley be able to get over what happened in the past? Will Machlan and Hadley get their happy ever after?

I loved this book and can't wait to see what happens in Peck's book!

A second chance at first love

This is another beautiful story and addition to this series. I am a sucker for a second chance and Adriana Locke delivered with this one.

I’ve loved this series so far and Hadley and Machlan were great towards the end, but i got so frustrated with the back and forth in the first part of this book.

You could feel how much this couple loved each other but there scars and mistakes were too much to handle at some points

This book is literally the best! I have loved all the Landry books and all the Gibson boys books but seriously this book is my fav. Machlan and Hadley have a beautiful story of heartache and heartbreak and love. It’s everything you could want in a book...I laughed, I cried and I couldn’t put it down. This book is a must read!

Hadley and Machlan’s story is a heart breaking and emotional one. They both have a lot of heartache in their pasts, both individually and together, which they haven’t reconciled which means neither of them have moved on. Machlan carries so much guilt, believing he has failed Hadley, and Hadley just wants to love him but he keeps pushing her away. Hadley returns home to try and settle everything once and for all but nothing goes quite as she thought it would. Hadley has a quiet strength that she doesn’t even know she has. Machlan is very alpha which is not normally my cuppa tea but I still couldn’t help but love him because underneath he is such a caring, loving guy. Despite the emotional rollercoaster Adriana Locke gives readers, there are some lovely light and funny moments mostly courtesy of Nana and Peck and for the Landry lovers there is a cameo from Linc and Graham.
