Restraint

Mason Family, Book 1

De: Adriana Locke

Narrado por: Wen Ross, Kelsey Navarro

USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke delivers a romance between a millionaire CEO and a heroine that gives him a run for his money.

Blaire Gibson knows better than to have one-night stands.

She prides herself on her decision-making skills. It’s the one asset that has never let her down. But even the best thinkers have weaknesses. Hers is a delicious business mogul with a quick tongue. Unfortunately for her, that tongue is good for more than just talking.

Holt Mason doesn’t need to justify anything to anyone.

He wants Blaire. He pursues Blaire. And he gets Blaire because that’s how his life works. Until it doesn’t.

What begins as a single night in a hotel room spirals into an unusual agreement. As late nights provide the space to trade secrets and walls come tumbling down, more is shared than just pillow talk.

They both should’ve known better. They should’ve shown restraint. Because when guards are dropped, hearts get shattered.

Beautiful, Fun, and Steamy Romance!

Move over Landry men and make room for a new sexy, southern, alpha male! I absolutely loved this first book in Locke's new Mason Family series! I have wanted Blaire Gibson's story for so long and taking her back to the enchanting and romantic city of Savannah was brilliant! It begins with Blaire and Holt Mason having a run-in at the Savannah airport. They have a brief but sizzling encounter and when Holt gives her his phone number, she takes it and walks away. She is not looking for love, even with this sexy southern gentleman, especially after suffering from past heartbreak. They unexpectedly meet again at the Landry home where Holt is having a business meeting. Holt can't figure out why he is so drawn to this woman, but Blaire's confidence and equal parts sexy and soft, is all he can think about. He convinces her to have dinner and their sizzling chemistry leads to a night of fiery passion. One night then leads into an extended vacation that makes them both break all their rules. I love Holt and Blaire, they’re smart and witty and passionate, and so perfect together! They challenge each other, making them see the strength in their vulnerability. Holt is so romantic and swoony, he is the perfect mix of southern gentleman, devoted son, brother & lover, and sexy alpha-man. Blaire is smart and kindhearted, but I really loved how she blossomed so beautifully with not only Holt's help but also by Sierra showing her what true friendship really was. I also loved the whole Mason family from their fun sibling banter, to their unconditional love and support. I can't wait to read more about all of them.
Wen Ross, and Kelsey Navarro are amazing at bringing this fun, steamy, and heartfelt story to life. They flawlessly portrayed the complex emotions of each character, and you could definitely feel the chemistry that smolders between Holt and Blaire. They add so much personality to this story, making it even more enjoyable and captivating.
This is a great start to the Mason Family series and I loved every minute of this beautiful, fun, heartwarming and steamy romance.

Blair is so relatable!

Listening to this story is so relatable. As a working woman it’s nice to feel seen as someone who prioritizes work. We also are vulnerable and need love.
Adriana created such a perfect match for Blair. He fills her holes and she fills his.
