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 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.

Adriana has released her third installment of the Gibson Family series. It’s got angst, lust, and heartbreaking moments. This is Hadley and Machlan’s story. Adriana told it in their POV, which was beneficial.

Hadley is Cross’ little sister. She speaks her mind and isn’t afraid to either. She is incredibly stubborn, but has an enormous heart. Her heart belongs to one man, but she wants it to not.

Machlan is a quiet, brooding bar owner. He is the youngest Gibson and Cross’ best friend. He carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. He has some issues that he can’t past.

Hadley and Machlan have know each other a long time. They have this push and pull relationship. If they aren’t fighting, everyone knows instantly something is up. They share a secret and have a “bond”. But that can break them. Machlan tries to push Hadley away and Hadley wants to hate him.

Can they get their second chance? Will Machlan open his eyes and see the perfect thing he’s got? Does Hadley stick around this time?

I loved the way Adriana took me on a ride of emotions with this book. She made me laugh, cry, and even yell! I can’t wait for Peck’s story and to see what girl catches his attention.
