No Place Like Home

This is such a sweet read. A runaway bride runs to where she knows she’ll be safe, shielded and to her first love. The banter between Luke and Laina is spot on. Laina gives up the limelight to realize that there’s no place like home. This story is a small town, second chance romance.

Slow burn but quick capture of your heart

This slow burn second chance romance was such a great read. Laina and Luke were brought to life by the narrators showing us that regardless of how long it’s been true love will conquer all. Laina is made her decision to leave her fiancée at the alter only to find herself going to her safe space ( her ex-boyfriend). Luke struggles to decide how he should handle his feelings for Laina. Both have desires, both unsure how to act on them. While life maybe making this navigation difficult the two are determined to find their way back together and remain that way. The narration was amazing allowing me to submerse myself into the story and the characters. Wonderful job.

True love

Loved this small town, second chance love story. Laing is a pop star and runaway bride who chooses to hide from the media at her ex boyfriend home. Loved the banter and small town family. Once again A Locke creates a family you want to be part of. Loved this story when I read it, was lucky enough to get to listen as well and it really brought these characters to life.

Fabulous Story & Listen🎧Riveting & Heartwarming!

Adriana Locke does it again and pens another amazing romance novel set in her “Marshall Family” series, a heartwarming standalone novel that not only captivated my attention the entire time, but tugged at my heartstrings, too. It is popstar sensation Laina Kelley’s wedding day, and she is all dressed up and ready to go, except the only place she wants to go is far away because she realizes she does not want to marry her fiancé, Hollywood heart throb, Tom Waverly. She calls her best friend Stephanie, who helps arrange her get-away car and driver, Troy Castelli of Landry Security. Not sure where she can run too without being recognized, an idea popped into her head, and that is how she winds up going to Peachwood Falls to visit her first love, Luke Marshall. Finding Laina in his home surprised Luke, but it was a welcomed surprise and he was on board with keeping her hidden and safe, and for Laina, she felt like she was home again. I absolutely adored these two, and it was great to watch them get reacquainted, and it was clear they had unresolved feelings for each other and the chemistry between them never sizzled out. This wonderfully written and plotted story has the perfect balance of drama, charming and heartwarming moments, humorous banter amongst the Marshalls, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. Adriana Locke, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Shiloh James and Lance Greenfield did a fabulous job bringing these characters to life, humanizing them with their personality, and giving each a voice that was fitting. James’ portrayal of Laina was perfection, taking the role and making it her own, and Greenfield did the same and was just as amazing in his role as Luke. Both were fantastic performing the roles of the secondary characters and were believable in every role they played. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling every single one. These two are entertaining storytellers and their performance elevates this already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another wonderful listen.

I wasn't a huge fan of the female narrator but overall the book was really good!

sweet second chance story

I'm always up for a second chance romance since that's one of my all time favorite tropes. I really enjoyed this one. I loved getting to see Laina and Luke rekindle what they had before. I was rooting for them to be able to work things out so they could be together.

This was my first time listening to both of these narrators. They were nice to listen to, but I just wish that they both had changed their voice a little more to differentiate between characters. Sometimes they seemed to blend together so it was hard at times to tell who was supposed to be speaking.

Small Town Listen

I really enjoyed this book by Adriana. She writes good small-town romance that will make you smile and love the characters. Second chance is one of my favorites to read.

Laina and Luke have that big love that you dream of. And when their lives collide again, sparks fly. She is hiding out from her in the spotlight life. He is working hard and living his life.
This audio was a really good listen. I liked the narrators and they way they flowed through this story. This is my first listen to Shiloh James, and I loved her. The way she does the male voice in her chapters is the best.
Lance Greenfield is one that I have listened to many times and always enjoy his smooth voice.

All and all, this story and audio are really good. It is not a long listen, and you will stay interested in the story the entire time.

Great Book!!

This is such an amazing book! I truly love Luke and Laina. This is a feel-good book!! I loved every minute and couldn't put the book down!! I'm glad they got their HEA! 💙💜

Runaway Bride…

This Much Is True is the second book in the Marshall Family series. It is a runaway bride, small town, second chance romance. This one is a fast paced, quick read with swoony, sexy scenes. There is drama and laugh out loud banter with all the feels. The connection between Laina and Luke is great and the chemistry is off the charts. I loved the found family feel as well.

Shiloh James and Lance Greenfield did a great job with this story.

This Much Is True

This Much is True is the first book in the Marshall Family series. This book is about Laina and Luke and is told from both of their points of view.

This book starts with Laina bailing on her wedding. She goes to hide out in the last place she feels safe which is at her ex-boyfriend Luke's house. Luke is shocked to see her there. He lets her stay, and sparks start to rekindle.

What happens with Laina's ex? What happens with her family? What happens between Laina and Luke? Will they get their happy ending?

I really enjoyed this book, and can't wait to see what happens next in the series.
