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.

Bring on the Masons! I can’t even put into words how excited I was for this book. And as we all have come to expect Adriana hit it out of the park!

The depth she gave the characters is pure gold, these aren’t empty, flat characters they are emotional, strong, independent yet vulnerable all at the same time. The best part of Adriana’s books are the connection to family, it makes everything more real.

I am so happy that I got the privilege to read this story early, except now my wait for the next installment will just be longer. Bring on Coy! I’m totally here for it and you will be too! Show no “Restraint” and read this book!

Something didn’t really flow with this book. Two boring characters with some good banter. Also why did they both talk to themselves? I just feel like nothing really happened. Didn’t hold my attention.

I absolutely loved Holt and Blaire and their story. The Landry family series and Gibson boys will forever be two of my favorite series, so seeing Blaire get her happily ever after is the perfect beginning to this new series and I can’t wait to revisit previous characters and meet new ones to love just as much!

Audio review!

Oh I loved the two of them! Their voices were great. Nice little drawl for my guy.

I was going to start listening to this on a drive with a friend but then had to change cuz SPICE! :) I can read spice anywhere but listen to it with a friend... I found my point, lol. Had to finish it solo!

This was my first Mason book. Hoyt, Hoyt, Hoyt... do we love those players or what? I admit, he had to grow on me. Yes! I wasnt a fan at first. Loved Blair from the get go.

I loved the Mason family, and I loved the spots with former characters. Its always great when an author has created her own world, and you never know who you'll see.

I had been looking forward to getting Blaire Gibson’s story since I read Crank. I was very intrigued by Blaire’s character and I wanted to know more about her. Blaire is a workaholic on her first ever vacation. She meets Holt Mason and sparks fly instantly. Holt is truly smitten with Blaire from the beginning and only wants to keep spending more and more time with her. I enjoyed this couple’s chemistry and banter. They both work hard and have great families, which made them a great match. It was so great to see some of our favorite characters make appearances in this book. I loved the Mason family. Looking forward to Holt’s brothers book.

The start of a new series that features fan favorites from the Landry AND Gibson families? Yes please! I am so in for Adriana Locke's new Mason Family series and loved Restraint. The immediate chemistry between Blaire and Holt was sizzling and made for a fun first (and second!) meeting. These two together were hot and so fun! Cannot wait for more of this series.
