Book Review- Crave (Gibson Boys #3) by Adriana Locke


RELEASE BLITZ
Title: Crave
Series: The Gibson Boys #3
Author: Adriana Locke
Genre: Contemporary Romance

BLURB:

Hadley Jacobs is over Machlan Gibson.

Sure, she’ll always be a little weak to the dimple in his right cheek and the way his five o’clock shadow makes him ruggedly handsome. But that’s not enough to cover every other thing about him because they all drive her nuts. Like how he’s won’t admit he’s wrong even when he knows it and how he drives his stupid car a million miles an hour on wet asphalt. As she rolls back into town and takes a seat at Crave, she won’t take the bait. She’s over him. Mostly.

Machlan isn’t over her.

It’s not because he hasn’t tried. He reminds himself over and over that she’s not the girl for him. After all, she drives him insane with her sassy attitude and the way she calls him out on everything. She beats him at poker, even though she doesn’t know the difference between a straight and a flush, and when she looks at him with her bright, blue eyes, it’s unnerving. When she climbs onto that bar stool and orders a drink, he puts it in front of her and ignores the sparkle in her eyes.  He’s not over her, but she won’t know that.

But she does know that. And he knows she’s not as over him as she’s pretending to be. When life forces their hand this time, there’s more on the line than a pile of poker chips. It’s their forever.

Crave is a standalone romance in a new small town, blue-collar series from USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke. Join readers everywhere as they fall in love with the delicious Gibson Boys.

My Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hadley Jacobs has come back to Linton, Illinois, to look for some closer. To get over her first love, Machlan Gibson. To move on, to make a new normal with him, so she doesn't dread stepping foot into town, his bar. Or seeing her brother and friends. She needs to move on and start fresh. But that's hard, because when she's in Mcahlan's presence, its like being home. All those memories, good and bad, all the love and hurt, passion and guilt rush back. 

Hadley knows how she feels, knows if Machlan showed her any sign of what they had, what they still have, that she would want to jump, right back into a epic life with him. But she can't take that chance and get hurt again. Machlan hides behind the fear of letting Hadley down, or not being the man she needs, not being enough. The way he sees himself, his life, holds him back from taking that risk of letting Hadley in. Of letting himself fall so deep in with her, that’s all he sees.

So are they moving on or reconnecting? They have too much history to just move on, to forget, to pretend and dance around all the feelings and memories that still anchor them together. But all that could also keep them from starting again.

Second Chance romances are a favorite and Crave did not let me down. Beautifully woven words of  love, life and hope flow through the pages. Hadley and Machlan's story will tug at your heart and have you rooting them on through their journey. 

Hadley sweet and sassy, and the sexy, grumpy Machlan have such a compelling and sexy back and forth, one that draws you in deep. It's a connection that neither one can seem to let go of. Their story is complicated, and that makes for a raw and beautiful book. It was fun, sexy and all kinds of swoon-worthy. 

I loved getting back into the world of the Gibson Boys, each one brings so much entertainment to this book. The banter, the big family and all the romance makes me excited for more. And More.

Bring On PECK!
