Resolution

The Mason Family Series, Book 5

De: Adriana Locke

Narrado por: Wen Ross, Kai Kennicott

From USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a workplace romance between a grumpy, alpha architect and his new client—who just so happens to have the blueprint to bring him to his knees.

Romance is not in Wade Mason’s portfolio.

This is tragic. It’s unfair that a man so maddeningly gorgeous—an architect with a deliciously squarish jaw, adorably dimpled chin, and the hottest black glasses that straddle the line between professional and provocative—rebukes all things love.

I knew this well before I walked into his office.

The man is a conundrum—a complicated, steel wall of a puzzle. On the one hand, he brushes against me in the conference room with a broodiness that sets me on fire. He demands in-person meetings about the house we are working on together. I catch him watching me out of the corner of his eye with a look that’s anything but platonic. But any talk of hookups, love, or relationships—even in general? Completely off the table.

I’m determined to peel back his layers until I get to the bottom of the mysterious businessman. But my plan is foiled by a surprise that leaves both of us reeling. Neither of us sees it coming, but it changes everything … forever.

Fun and Hot Office Romance

Performance:
I loved this audible. Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott do a wonderful job. Wen’s deep voice is perfect for Wade’s personality. Some of the comedic timing was so on point I found myself laughing out loud. They also play well off each other. I have listened to this duo before and they don’t disappoint.
Story:
I love a good office romance! Wade is the definition of a standoffish loner of a lovable (and hot) grump. I was constantly laughing internally at how hard he tried to be unlikeable and act uncaring and yet all I saw was his heart. To be fair I have been crushing on Wade for most of the Mason Family series so there is no doubt I am bias and I am not sorry. I also really responded to Dara. She is such a spitfire and a nice twist on the sun to the heroes grump. I loved this couple and their chemistry from the first to the last page.
In addition, Adriana Locke once again showcases her incredible ability to write a standalone about a couple with the added bonus of a family dynamic that feels so real that its impossible to not get swept away by it all. It creates a story that feels complete, whole, and true to an idyllic family/romance without it being too perfect or too unattainable that we can't hope for it in our own lives.
There are ups and downs (no spoilers here, you got to read it) but overall I found this an easy and enjoyable read. I can't wait to experience it again once the audible is out.

Irresistible 'opposites attract' romance!

I loved this irresistible 'opposites attract' romance! Wade is the grumpy, mercurial Mason brother who works hard, and grumbles when his family comes around, but secretly loves it. When they ask him to take on a new client, he resists, giving in only because he knows it's important to them. He is surprised when a woman from college is the person he will be working with. Dara is the complete opposite from him. She is sweet, spirited and fun. Neither of them are emotionally available, but they challenge each other, and their word play is their foreplay. The more time they spend together, the more they can't get enough of each other. But can they help each other break down the walls they have built to protect themselves? I loved Wade and Dara together. They were so opposite yet so much alike with their love of family, creative nature, and their chemistry was explosive! There were so many hilarious moments that made me laugh out loud. The poignant moments were so heartfelt and honest and added a depth that kept me turning the pages. It was so fun catching up with the whole Mason family who are all essential to this story. Their fun sibling banter and unconditional love and support made this story even more emotional, heartwarming, and fun! I really loved the ending of this story, that had me in tears of joy!
I always enjoy listening to Wen Ross. and Kai Kennicott's narrations. Their duet narration is so smooth and their chemistry makes this story even more steamy and delightful.
This last Mason brother book in the Mason Family series made me laugh, cry, and feel every emotion in-between, and I loved every word of it.

The Mason Family Series!

Resolution (The Mason Family Series, Book 5) is Wade Mason and Dara's enemies-to-lovers office romance with a twist of clashing personalities. I loved getting a glimpse of Wade on the earlier books and getting his story now. The writing style is entertaining and the banter between the characters is the cherry on top. Love the supporting character's and how they accentuate the story. Compelling character's, sweet and spicy listen.

Wen Ross, Kai Kennicott are amazing with these character's and their story to reality. Excellent performances with intoxicating tone of Wen Ross and Kai's sweet and fun tone.
