Try Me

A Workplace, Friends-to-Lovers Romance

De: Adriana Locke

Narrado por: Raven Wildewood, Tor Thom

“Try me.”

That’s what Drake Bennett said when I declared on my live podcast that no man could make me fall in love. The former pro football star turned sportscaster didn’t just laugh—he challenged my entire brand.

Gianna Knows Things is built on the idea that love is a choice. Drake says it’s a feeling—a magical, uncontrollable, world-shifting experience.

I call BS. He says I’m scared.

The audacity.

So, we make a bet. Six weeks of dating … in front of millions of listeners. If I don’t fall for him, I win. If I do … don’t worry. Not going to happen.

I expected spicy nights and viral ratings. What I didn’t expect was thoughtful surprises, spontaneous affection, and moments that make my heart do strange things.

Drake isn’t who I thought he was, and I can’t tell what scares me more: that he’s been playing me all along or that I’m wrong about love. Either way, someone’s about to get hurt—and I hope it's not me.

Gianna & Drake

Try Me is a magnificent, captivating, unputdownable must-read! Chef's Kiss! Sparks fly between Gianna & Drake. Their 6-week dating challenge is incredible & their chemistry is off the charts. I felt all their happiness, fear, excitement, and longing. I highly recommend you picking up this sweet, sexy, emotional, angsty, and swoon-worthy love story. All of it effortlessly woven together to make for one addictive read that I never wanted to end. I am hoping we get Evie, Elodie, Juni & Jory's stories after Audrey's.
 
Raven Wildewood & Tor Thom do an amazing job portraying the characters, bringing them to life and humanizing them with their emotions, attitude and personality. They do more than giving their characters their voices, they fall into the roles and become the character. Seriously y'all need this book in your lives.
