Crave (The Gibson Boys, #3) by Adriana Locke


Title: Crave
Series: The Gibson Boys #3
Author: Adriana Locke
Genre: Contemporary Romance

BLURB

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’s 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 standalone romance in a new small town, blue-collar series from USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke. Join readers everywhere as they fall in love with the delicious Gibson Boys.

Wild by Colet Abedi Series: (The Wild Duet, #1) Publication Date: September 4, 2018

Wild_eBook_HighRes.jpg
My name is Wyld Buchanan. Fresh out of college, I have a coveted intern position at the biggest movie studio in Hollywood, and probably the only virgin left in tinsel town.
One night, I decided to take fate into my own hands. I was going to lose my innocence to a sexy stranger.
He thought I was being mysterious when I told him my name was Wild. He thought I was just another starry eyed girl looking for a ticket to the shinier life. He thought wrong. And what are the odds I would ever see him again?
I should have taken that bet because who would have guessed my sexy stranger was Jamie freaking Donovan. Mr. Hollywood himself. Things were about to get a whole lot wilder….

Excerpt:

The force of his energy nearly sucks the life right out of me. “Hi.” “Hi,” I say in return, hoping my voice sounds calm. My breath catches when he unexpectedly entwines his hand in my hair and rubs the back of my neck. Lightening shoots through my body, the slight touch of his hands triggering a river of goose bumps all along my skin. His bold move only serves to turn me on even more. “Did you feel that?” he asks, his voice echoing my own surprise over my body’s reaction to his simple touch. I bite my lower lip, refusing to answer. I lock eyes with him. My reaction seems to annoy him, and he tugs on my hair, bringing his lips a breath away from mine. I gasp in longing. I want to feel those lips on mine more than anything. “Answer me,” he growls, his eyes feral. I still don’t want to. I know I’m playing with something I don’t understand—a chemical reaction…with a man I don’t even know. His grip slackens, and his hand begins to rub my neck. His long fingers move down the top of my spine to where the zipper begins on my dress. He grabs hold of it and begins to toy with it, like he might unzip me right there in front of the entire room. Not that they even notice. Or care. A quick glance around shows me the exact scene I glimpsed the second I walked in. Except now, Kerri is sandwiched between the two blonds, smiling coquettishly like she doesn’t know which one to pick. When I look back up at my mystery man, his smile is possessive. “You’re coming with me.”

One night affair turns to be something more.

I was an intern at a movie studio just out of college.

He thought she was just looking for a rich meal ticket.

How was I to know I would end up meeting Mr. Hollywood who could make or break my career?

What were the chances that our paths would cross again?


Afterall, this is Hollywood where dreams and nightmares can occur in the blink of an eye.
