If you loved the Landry's and the Gibson's, you will love the Mason's! This is the story of Blaire Gibson and Holt Mason with a few short cameos from one or more of your favorites from the other series. They literally run into each other at an airport and eventually realize they have some friends in common. This book was sexy and emotional and I can't wait for the next brother!

Have you ever started reading a book and at 1% you knew it was going to be a 5 star read you couldn’t put down?!? Well that’s this book for me. Whether you’re a new fan, and old fan or are just hearing about Adriana Locke for the first time you will absolutely love Blair and Holt!

Holt and Blaire's story was full of witty conversation, heartwarming moments, a bit of heartache and steam.
Blaire feels she needs to be strong and in control, she needed to be for her family and it's what makes her feel safe. Holt is used to be in charge, in control as he feels responsible for his family and their business. When their one night stand turns into a multiple night stand, two people who need control find they have to learn that they can give others control and still be safe. I loved watching their journey.
Cameos from Gibson Boys and Landry Family were the icing on the cake.

♥️ One night stand turned into a loving with each other for a week. Quick read and a falls in love fast type story. There were a lot of inconsistencies in the book and things that got confusing at times but overall a good quick read.

So I tried to read this a few times and got a little bored and never found myself able to finish the book. I charged my kindle and downloaded this and actually managed to get through it and once I got past 20% and gave it a chance I really enjoyed it.

Romance was nice and steamy, I thought both were intelligent people and he made a nice grand gesture. He was the one in the wrong.

Interested to see how the rest of his family plays out.

The book was ok. Easy read. I had mayor issues with both main characters holt and Blaire, hence the rating. It was entertaining at times so I’d recommend it as a palette cleanser.

So, I love Adriana Locke's ability to develop characters that are lovable, amusing, and relatable, and this book does that. However, im a much bigger fan of her blue-collar romances than the hot millionaires. Personal preference; if you love hot millionaires, you'll probably love this book.
