Reviews are coming in for Locked Out and here is another 5 stars!

I sent out a batch of Advanced Reader Copies to people who were kind enough to sign up and take a chance on reading Locked Out before it was published. I discovered this morning that quite a few have posted their reviews on Goodreads. A few days ago, Shelly R. shared her review with me on my L. M. Schukraft – Author Facebook page and I just had to share it here!

“Sweetheart? You can’t just go around calling women that nowadays. It isn’t appropriate. Are you listening to me, Ethan?”

Yes, Buttercup. I’m hearing every word you’re saying Sweet Cheeks.”

This was my first read from this author. After reading this one, I can’t wait for book 2! The main characters are developed well and have excellent chemistry together. The bantering between Ethan and his brothers is dead on!!

Emeline has recently found herself both single and unemployed all because of her ex. Starting a new job at a local home improvement store, she and Ethan are thrown together during training. Attempting to keep him at arm’s length to avoid another heartbreak, she soon finds out how persistent and charming he can be, and she finds the walls she put up slowly crumbling.

A rash of recent break-ins, Ethan’s sudden appearance in town, and now a murder, there is a whole lot of mystery taking place in her little town. Are they all tied together somehow? When it looks like the target of all of it seems to be Emeline, can she trust Ethan to protect her? Can they put the puzzle pieces together and figure out who is behind it all? And why?

I loved the little ribbings that Emmie and Ethan give each other as they both skirt around their feelings for one another. I absolutely adored his brothers Brandon and Hawk, and I hope they each get their own stories at some point. I totally didn’t see the ending coming and I’m not going to spoil it here!! You just have to read it!!
