Crave

By: Adriana Locke

Narrated by: Kai Kennicott, Wen Ross

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 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 second-chance standalone romance in a new small-town, blue-collar series from USA Today best-selling author Adriana Locke. Join listeners everywhere as they fall in love with the delicious Gibson Boys.

All the love

This book has it all! I laughed, cried, and cheered them on. Adriana pulled out all the emotional guns for this one. The performances were spot on and brought it all to the surface. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Craving More

Crave by Adriana Locke is amazingly written with a perfect story line. So much emotion and heart was put into this book that it pulls you in, page after page I was consumed with it. I really enjoyed it, it is a perfect read.

Emotional second chance

This is a second chance story for Machlan and Hadley. This is a slow burn as you learn all the different layers of why they haven’t been together. It is complicated since their lives are very intertwined since Hadley’s brother, Cross, is Machlan’s best friend. This was a great emotional roller coaster with some humor thrown in. I love the Gibson family. Once again, Kai Kennicott and Wren Ross do a great job narrating.

MAC

I loved this book so much. This second chance romance hit the right spot. Learning to overcome past memories to learn from them and learn to live in the present. Learning to forgive and moving on. Ms. Locke knows how to weave a great loving story. I had moment when I sniffled a bit over some sweet moments. This is a must read and listen. Can't wait to read the books.

Great Read

Crave (The Gibson Boys #3) was another great read by Adriana Locke. Hadley comes back to town and is more determined then ever to prove to herself that she’s over Machlan. But Machlan has never gotten over her, although he’ll never tell her that. Life and fate intervene and forces them together. I loved reading Hadley and Machlan’s story and can’t wait to read more by Adriana Locke.
