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.

Loved Coy and Bellamy!! I read an excerpt in Larissa’s story and since then I wanted to read between them, besides I love enemies-to-lovers books and this was perfect.
Coy and Bellamy knew each other since kids and with Riss and Boone they were always together until life brought them apart. Coy is now a musician secluded in his childhood home after some drama and has to lay low. Bellamy lives next door taking care of her sick father and when they see each other again there’s a mix of hate, love and laughter.
Their banter and chemistry was the best, they loved each other since they were kids but after some misunderstandings they grew apart. I loved how Bellamy was, despite all she went through with her father, she was an amazing person and she had a lot of people who loved her, including Coy after some time together.
Like the first book, I loved the relationship between Coy and his brothers, they always had each other’s back despite the jokes.
Next is Boone’s story and I can’t wait to read more of him and the rest of them❤️

Reputation is the second book in the Mason Family series. This book is told from dual points of view from Coy Mason and Bellamy Davenport.
Coy and Bellamy were best friends and next door neighbors in a small town growing up. Coy and Bellamy had feelings for each other, but then he left for Nashville to be a Country Music star. Something happened to Bellamy and when she needed Coy he ignored her. So she decided she hated him.
Now Coy is home trying to stay out of the tabloids due to something his publicist did. He's trying to figure out what to do next with his music career. When Bellamy shows up at his door to see his mom. They would banter and bicker at first, but then feelings came back into play.
Can Bellamy learn to give her heart back to Coy? Can Coy be there for Bellamy when she needs him? Can Coy save his reputation from the Tabloids? What will happen when he has to go back to Nashville for his career.
This book was amazing and I could not put it down. It was great to see Holt (his brother) and Blaire from the first book in the series. As well as Larissa and Hollis from The Relationship Pact book. I can't wait for Boone's story next! This series as well as every Adriana Locke book I've read has been a great read!

What an emotional ride! Reputation was a roller coaster I never wanted to get off. Coy and Bellamy stole my heart right from the beginning. A mix of all my favourite tropes, enemies to lovers, second chance, childhood friends... amazing.
Adriana Locke is one of my favourite authors and she did not disappoint once again. Reputation is the second book in the Mason Family series. It can be read as a stand alone but is far more fun to read with the back story of the family.

Nothing mind blowing. But Bellamy's hardships really got to me! She's an only child with her last remaining parent fighting cancer - tugged at my heart strings in such a personal way. The romance itself was mid, but I was so happy when her and Coy got together by the end.

Adriana Locke is the Queen of family series. I love the Mason brothers. Coy and Bellamy had me smiling. She writes with so much feeling. This family makes you want to be a part of them.

4⭐️/5⭐️
I thought this book was very enjoyable. I think I’d read anything Adriana writes, because it’s pretty face paced and short! Which is always great. I was really intrigued with Bellamy and Coy’s story during The Relationship Pact and I just had to figure out what was going on between them. This book was very emotional, I teared up quite a bit while reading. Nonetheless I could understand both of their hesitation on the relationship, just wish how it wasn’t so back and forth but they are both likeable characters and so are the side characters!
SPOILERS AHEAD:
Things I liked:
- Omfg he calls her Bells, that’s so cute
- “the way her voice slides over me like a well-worn hoodie. ”
- “She’s a powerhouse in her own right. And I fucking love it. ”
- “Not even when I break a guy’s nose for fucking around on her because she “won’t put out.”
- Coy was Bellamy’s first kiss
- “What you see with Bellamy Davenport is what you get, and there’s something remarkably, insanely attractive about that. ”
- “She looks up at him and beams. He grins back down at her.” (Bree and Coy)
- Coy’s mom saying that Bellamy is smitten over Coy
- Bellamy’s dad telling Coy he’s proud of him (that’s gonna hit hard later on)
- Bellamy’s dad hoping Coy will still look after Bellamy once he’s gone
- “And I know this is a lot to ask of you—”“It’s not,” I say, my voice rough and raw. “You have my word.” “Thank you.”
- “So you understand that I would never, would never, Bellamy, not be there for you.”
- “Our relationship could be enemies-to-lovers, but it’s always heavy on the enemies and light on the lovers.”
- “I’m just a silly girl who’s always had a thing for the boy next door,” I whisper back. His grin falters before growing again.”
- “He chuckles. “I’m just a crazy guy who’s always had a thing for the hot, beautiful, and sexy girl next door.”
- “I’ve got you,” he says. “Okay? I’ve got you.”
- “He’s probably the best looking out of us all.” “I beg to differ.” She can’t see my grin, but it’s there.”
- “A slow smile spreads across my cheeks. “You little shit.” She laughs. It’s music to my ears.”
- “I lean over and kiss her. She melts into me, just like I knew—and hoped—she would.”
- “The fact that he's smiling and I'm smiling, and he reaches for me like it's the most natural thing in the world—that's what I love most of all.”
- “Being with you is the easiest thing that I’ve ever done. It’s crazy, Bells. Wild.” ”
- HE JUST TOLD HER HE LOVES HER
- “I’ve loved you since the day I made you eat that taco out of a leaf, mud, and grass,” he says. ”
- “You’ve been in love with Bells since you were toddlers.” (Holt to Coy)
- Coy driving Bellamy and her dad to his doctors appointment
- Bellamy just told Coy she loves him back
- BELLAMY’S DAD JUST TOLD HIS DOCTOR THAT COY IS HIS SON-IN-LAW YES
- Coy asking if it will be alright to marry Bellamy
- “I’d like to have kids with you too,” she whispers. “Someday.”
- HE FIRED HIS AGENT. I GASPED
- HE BOUGHT HER THE HOUSE SHE LIKED IM SCREAMING
- Bellamy’s dad and Judy (Hollis’s ‘grandma’) hanging out
- SHES PREGNANT

A life without tears is a life unlived.
This book was everything I wanted and more. Coy and Bellamy best friends, neighbors, lovers, and enemies. Coy Mason is back in town and all Bellamy needs to do is avoid him until he leaves again, because he always leaves. Unfortunately, Coy has other plans. Coy doesn’t really understand why Bellamy hates him. So being the charmer that he is he makes sure that he and Bellamy work out their issues.
This book have all the feels, I laughed, cried, and boy was their sparks flying from the word go. Definitely my favorite read.
