I loved Coy and Bellamy’s story. They have a complicated past of friends, firsts, lovers and enemies. Coy’s feelings for Bellamy come to the fore when he is hit in the face with them, not literally, but kind of.
Bellamy is strong or that’s what she lets everyone think, she doesn’t want to burden her friends. She has also been let down in the past so doesn’t trust or rely on others easily. Coy seems to have the charmed life of a music sensation but when he needs to take time out of the spotlight he wonders if the direction his life is going in is the one he wants to take. I loved watching them work through their relationship and decide what it is that they want and whether it can work out. Adriana Locke writes some truly beautiful moments in this story.

What I love about Adriana Locke is her characters, and this book did not disappoint. I really enjoyed getting to know Coy and Bellamy and continuing to learn about the Mason family. The story was also engaging and surprisingly easy to read. Overall, a great, quick read for fans of contemporary, enemies-to-lovers romance.

I love, loved loved this one! It was a great big mix of second chance (well, maybe not I cant explain it!)/friends to lovers.
Bellamy has the weight of the world on her shoulders. Coy has been living the famous life. What happens when theyre brought back together?

Reputation is kind of a childhood friends to lovers/enemies to lovers/rockstar romance. I love Adriana’s writing and loved her Landry family series and it seems like the Mason family is going to match it in every way. Coy and Bellamy’s story is full of feels. I loved the arguing and tension in the beginning between these two. My heart was breaking for Bellamy. The chemistry between these two is hot and silly. I am looking forward to seeing what journey Adriana takes us on with Boone’s book.

Reputation is both an friends-to-lovers and enemies-to-lovers- Coy and Bellamy were super close growing up in their small town, but as the book begins, Coy has come back to town and Bellamy dislikes him, although he doesn't know why. Coy is a country music sensation who is cocky but quite charming. Bellamy is a spitfire- she's sassy and very guarded and caring for her ill father. The Mason family is so fun to read about- so many great personalities. I enjoyed watching Coy and Bellamy grow closer and repair their broken relationship. Looking forward to the next book in the series!

Reputation could easily be retitled taking ownership of your life. Coy has allowed his life to get out of his control. Now he has been "banished" to his home in Savannah until the commotion settles down. He is also running into Bellamy--childhood friend, sweetheart, but now enemy on her part. Bellamy has a lot going on in her life, and she harboring resentment towards Coy because of an incident. Both of them are about to have some things changed.
Their story moves along with great banter, appearances by Coy's brothers and parents. One of the things I love about Adriana's books is the loving families and the dynamics of those families as they interact. Siggy Mason is elegant but a southern momma through and through. Boone is that brother and friend we all want, who appears to be useless but is so much more. He's adorable, and it's going to be so much fun to get to know him better.
Bellamy is struggling in her life as she's taking care of her dad. Most poignant about this story is how everyone (and I mean everyone) knows that Bellamy and Coy should be together. What is lovely is how everyone lets it happen. This book was a tear-jerker at times, but there is the HEA at the end, and it is so sweet. I really can't say more because to give away any plot would spoil the beauty for you. It's a great read and so much fun to watch Coy and Bellamy learn to love each other like they're supposed to. Adriana writes the southern family so well please keep doing that!

Reputation is the second book in the Mason Family series by Adriana Locke. I'm loving this new series and the Mason family and their loves! If you read The Relationship Pact you met Larissa's best friend Bellamy and Coy is Holt's (Restraint) brother. I've been looking forward to their story for a while. I knew there was a good story behind his jokes and her animosity! Turns out Bellamy and Coy have quite the history! They've known each other their whole lives. Shared a lot of firsts, laughs and then Bellamy got her heart broken. Coy doesn't understand why she hates him. He's a fun loving guy who left town to follow his dreams of being a country music star. But he's back home for a while and can't resist bothering Bellamy. He needs to know why she hates him and when he finds out he can't believe it. He has to get her to understand what she has been thinking is wrong. He's not opposed to using his sexiness to get her to understand either. He doesn't just want her forgiveness. He wants her. Forever. And he isn't afraid to show or tell everyone how he feels. But what happens when he needs to leave town again? Will Bellamy trust in his feelings? I loved this story! Coy is so sexy and funny and Bellamy is hilarious and strong. I loved seeing Coy's family and seeing my man, Hollis again! It's a great addition to the series and I can't wait for more!

Would be a 3.75 if I could. I really liked the first half, liked that the characters felt unique and more whole than book 1.
And then it all kinda fell apart? I swear the author must have had a workaholic partner in a past relationship becuase that's two straight books where the female protagonist has an entirely inappropriate response to the object of her affections having a business meeting he needs to attend. Also felt like once they hooked up the uniqueness/individuality of the two characters went away and they just became NPC shells.
