Restraint

By: Adriana Locke

Narrated by: Wen Ross, Kelsey Navarro

Blaire Gibson knows better than to have one night stands.

She prides herself on her decision-making skills. It’s the one asset that has never let her down. But even the best thinkers have weaknesses. Hers is a delicious business mogul with a quick tongue.

Unfortunately for her, that tongue is good for more than just talking.

Holt Mason doesn’t need to justify anything to anyone.

He wants Blaire. He pursues Blaire. And he gets Blaire because that’s how his life works.

Until it doesn’t.

What begins as a single night in a hotel room spirals into an unusual agreement. As late nights provide the space to trade secrets and walls come tumbling down, more is shared than just pillow talk.

They both should’ve known better. They should’ve shown restraint. Because when guards are dropped, hearts get shattered.

Restraint is a standalone romance from USA Today best-selling author Adriana Locke. Join listeners everywhere as they fall in love with the delicious Mason brothers.

Author's note: Restraint originally appeared as a short story. Due to demand, it has been expanded into a full novel.

Loved it! Steamy and charming!

I truly enjoyed reading Restraint by Adriana Locke when it was first released, so when I had the opportunity to listen to the audiobook, I was very excited. It is always a different experience to listen to a story and let me tell you, Wen Ross and Kelsey Navarro did an absolutely amazing job brining Blaire and Holt’s story to life. I could not stop listening!

We first met Blaire as the sister to the amazing Gibson boys. This is a standalone and can be read without reading The Gibson Boys series, though I highly recommend those as well! Blaire is a workaholic who is determined and smart. Holt is a man used to getting what he wants. For both of them, their work is important, but so is their family. Their chemistry is instant and intense, but with lives already complicated, could this lead to anything more?

I just loved listening to Restraint by Adriana Locke. Holt and Blaire’s story was fun, sexy, steamy and a bit angsty. I loved and cannot wait to read and/or listen to more about the Mason family!

Happy listening!

Mason Family Series!

Restraint (Mason Family Series, Book 1) is a new series to love. Blaire and Holt's story was entertaining, flirtatious and with a morsel of angst. I absolutely love The Gibson Boys series and was excited that Blaire Gibson was getting her own story in this new series. I loved the cameo appearances & chats about the Landry's and The Gibsons. I loved meeting the new supporting characters and I'm looking forward to learning more about Holt's brother’s. Holt's character is compelling, complex and smokin hot. Blair is a compelling, passionately independent heroine. The chemistry, cute banter and mixture of emotions are blended together creating a euphoric listening experience. Adriana Locke's writing style is pulls you in Grim the beginning to the very end. Looking forward to listening to the next audio in this contemporary romance series.

Wen Ross, Kelsey Navarro nailed the narration. Absolutely loved the dual narration performance by these two talented voice artists. Kelsey captured Blaire's character perfectly. Her inflection was smooth and very easy listening. Wen Ross's deep baritone is intoxicating and easy listening.

Love the story and the narration.

Ticked all my boxes

A entertaining, fun Listen with great narration.
When workaholic Blair is forced to take a holiday in Savannah she meets Holt or should I sat bumps into him at the airport and who would have thought bumping into a stranger at the airport could change your life, your values and leave you questioning yourself....
A chance meeting between 2 strangers leads to a night of passion and so much more , both Blair and Holt have no time for relationships but fate seems to have other plans for them so will these 2 workaholics take a leap into the unknown.....
This book ticked all my boxes, the attraction was instant, the chemistry intense and banter was funny and witty. I was captivated from the first page and I was left wanting more Holt and more Blaire because I fell hard and fast for this couple. I’m so excited for this new series and I can’t wait for more Mason’s in my life. I highly recommend this gem.
Wen Ross and Kelsey Navarro did a wonderful job bringing one of my favourite books to life .

Chemistry Filled Fun Listen!

Blair and Holt had such chemistry from the beginning and Wen and Kelsey did an amazing job portraying their characters. This is a must read and listen book from the amazing Mason World. Now I’m anxious to listen to the next audio from the laugh out loud Mason Family.

Great listen

Narration is great. Love this series.

Holt and Blaire are great together. I couldn’t help cheer for them. Blaire broke my heart when she discussed her past. To go through their journey to find each other was wonderful. I hated to put this book down and I can’t wait for Coys book. Lincoln Landry will always be my favorite but can’t wait to meet all the masons. Adrianna Locke did not disappoint and now put another series of mist in my list.

Welcome to the Mason Family!

Adriana Locke introduces us to the Mason Family with Holt and Blaire as told by the wonderful Wen Ross and Kelsey Navarro. Amazing telling of a fun and sexy story!

voices

not crazy about the voices. the voices used for the characters thoughts should be same as them speaking!!

Some powerful restraint

What a great story! I’ve read a few of this authors stories before but absolutely loved this! Such passion, angst, chemistry and most of all restraint of each characters emotions. The narrators did such an amazing job bringing those feelings to life. I felt every emotion intended by the author. I appreciate that even this other characters have their own series you can listen to this without reading to the others and not be lost with the relationship and connections. 👏🏽
