Worth the Credit! I Loved these stories!

This is a wonderful series and easily worth the credit! I grew to love these Gibson boys! This encompasses all kinds of tropes. But what I love the best is the camaraderie and fun between these characters. I did listen to this on audio. Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross are the narrators for all of these delightful stories. They did a wonderful job.
Below is the breakdown for each book.

Crank
Very enjoyable! I loved how they all called her Slugger :). Totally warranted but still cute! I love all these brothers! Their camaraderie and brotherly stuff is simply great to listen to. Walker had a few shocking revelations and I really don’t know what he would do without Peck. I LOVED Walker’s gesture at the end! Sienna comes from the Landry brothers series (which I haven’t read/listened to yet). I loved all her interactions with them. They sound like great big brothers! She is a delight and I loved her. Nana and Peck were my favorite secondary characters.

Craft
Holy Smokes I didn’t see this coming!
That first kiss in the pantry so HOT! I loved these two! This issues the whole school teacher/librarian fantasy. The problems that Lance and Mariah has were each huge. Tough to overcome one more than the other. The whole idea of the dating app was cute as well. I really thought that nerdy nurse was a different person. So well played! This is an enjoyable read and I am loving these Gibson Boys and their ladies. Next please!

Cross
This is my least favorite of all of the stories. Cross is a friend but really holds no interest before this and he basically disappears after. But it’s cute.

Crave
There is so much that goes on in here. History is what Hadley and Machlan are filled with And they need to cope. This could almost by my fav of the series. These two are steeped in the past and can’t seem to release to enjoy the future. It’s a struggle and to listen to their pain. On the plus side Sunday Dinners with Nana are the BEST! I just want to go and be there to hang. Then the brothers when they “help” each other with relationship advice. This is a good one!


Crazy
I love Peck and am so happy he get his own story. He has always been so helpful to his cousins and finding their women. That when it’s his turn to struggle. They offer him some sweet advice. Dillon is the perfect girl for Peck. They each have that happy, adventurous spirit that radiates from them. The BIG gesture at the end is soooo Peck and Dillon! I love this series and am sorry to see it end.

OMG! Fun series.

Great series. So much fun, love, family connections. Readers won’t be disappointed by this series.

Not as good as I hoped.

I didn't care for Wen Ross as a narrator. His chuckles are annoying. The characters are predictable. It's hard to like a book when all the female characters get treated like garbage and they run back to a slutty male lead. Disappointed.

SSSSSOOOO worth a credit

KK reads the majority of all these books but she is one of the best female narrators around so it was ok. love WR. I will absolutely be listening to this whole set again

Peck is my favorite of these guys. Story interesting and some smiles too. They both have such issues to work through. this author moved way up on my favorite list.

The Gibson Boys

An entire series all with one credit! This book has everything you could ask for and then some. There are a few sensitive subjects involved that make the book even more realistic and suck you right in with them. I loved everything about this book from the writing to the narration. If you are looking for a small town romance with some steam involved, then look no further. This one is perfect for you!

💜💜💜💜

Crank is the first book in the Gibson boys series and I already want more. Walker is a gruff, hot mechanic completely set in his ways. But when Sienna literally swings her way into his life he has a hard time finding his feet again!
I need more of these boys!

Craft is the second book in this series and can be read as a stand-alone. Bad teacher meets good librarian!! For real! Lance is a teacher by day and a naughty app messenger by night. He is determined to just have fun but Mariah, the librarian at his school had him all twisted up.
Mariah is shy but strong, she has a life sized crush on Lance but watches him continually bounce from bed to bed and that is just not her...
When these two get together sparks fly and they are both left second guessing everything they thought they wanted!

Cross has been a character I wanted to know more about especially since he stayed out of full view so far and Kallie..well she tried. Lol. She had the best intentions but fate always gets her way and I am so happy she did. I love them together and their stories wasn’t full of a ton of drama which was a nice break!
Going into the next one!

Crave is the third book in this series and holy cow did Mack and Hadley shake things up. Their story was full of history, secrets and a ton of love but some obstacles seem to big to overcome. At the end of the day; he has to decide to fight and she has to decide to walk away for good...

Crazy is the final book in this series and Whew!! Saving the best for last IMO; I have loved Peck since book one. You never know what he is going to do or say next! Even though he has crazy antics he is also the most thoughtful of the Gibson boys. So his story is Crazy and I loved watching him fall for his woman!

Love the Gibson Boys!

Adriana Locke crafted amazing stories of the Gibson boys that hooked me from the first words. Wen and Kai brought these multi-faceted characters to life with their gift of narration.

Worth the credit

The books were full angst which was annoying at times. However, the writing was pretty good and I enjoyed the narration.

Amazing series

This series is fabulous and the narration is so well done!

Craft review:
Great witty, fun, real life issue book! Loved Lance and Mariah relationship and all the Gibson books!

Crave review:
This is a beautiful second, third, fourth chance love story! This book is about family, friends and love- a love that isn’t perfect, full of heartache, pain, imperfections but beautiful and eternal!! Nothing better than reading Adriana Locke’s words to make you want to be the best person you can be.

Machlan and Hadley have been together on and off since they were teens. Both broken from their history. Hadley comes back to Linton to get closure and get over Machlan.

This book has it all- all the Gibson boys, Nana- she’s magnificent, the Landry’s, Cross!!! It’s full of family banter, Nana’s cooking and yelling about bad behavior and this incredibly beautiful story about how Machlan is the way he is and why Hadley loves him so much. How she sees him even in the bad times. This book is everything!

Can’t wait for Peck and whatever else Adriana Locke wants to give us. It’s a spectacular journey!!!


Crazy review:
Adriana Locke writes small town romance like no other!! And it’s Peck’s time to get his HEA!!

Peck and his girl are amazing together. I loved their connection and pull to each other. Peck is alabaster known as the jokester but he has so much depth! And it all comes out in Crazy!

He has a great family, is loyal to his friends, ever scene with Nana is a favorite of mine!! And his girl, she’s ready for the crazy and takes it all in and finds her love in Peck!

Great series

I love the duet format narration. I enjoyed the both narrators. I dare you not to fall in love with the Gibson Boys. Funny and sexy. Definitely a great use of a credit. I have to admit Machlan is my favorite. If you are a fan of small town romances like I am then grab this one. I loved everything about it. The witty banter is top notch. Great family series.

my new favourite

Kai and Wen are brilliant! the sories are one better than the other, especially the last 2. laughed and cried and i will definitely listen to these books again. finally stories of real people and not the usual billionaire.

loved it

Happy ever afters laugh out loud and great characters then this is for you .

Great value for money

I enjoyed the whole series of books all for one credit it's great value for money. it's a long listen but worth it. Its the first time I've listened to a book in this style, why cant all books be done this way, the narration is excellent. I think my favourite story was book 2 ..the scene in the cupboard had me laughing out loud. Nana is such a great character and I'm so glad she is there throughout the stories, she really tries them together. I will definitly look for more books with these narrators and by this author.

A great bundle

I loved these stories. I’ve read a couple of Adrianas previous books, and since I don’t have as much time to read these days, I thought I’d give the audio a whirl! I’m so glad I did, I devoured the books over a four day period, listening every chance I got. They are well worth the credit!
