Adriana Locke is a USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author with a knack for writing swoony, unforgettable contemporary romances. At nineteen, she traded her small-town roots for big-city life, only to realize her heart beats for quiet mornings and cozy chaos. These days, she’s living her happily-ever-after in Ohio with Mr. Locke—her high school sweetheart—four lively sons, and two hilariously hyper Jack Russell terriers.
When she’s not penning love stories that will leave you laughing and sighing, Adriana is battling the epic quest of missing silverware, “gardening” (a.k.a. chatting with her plants), or leaving her grocery list on the counter as she heads to the store. Grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and let her books whisk you away to a world of heartwarming romance and irresistible heroes.
Recently divorced Kaylee, and town hottie Dane start a personal trainer/client relationship that quickly turns into a sweet date and a confession of feelings. I enjoyed this because it was quick and sweet, but also because I liked Kaylee finding love after divorce with a sweet guy. She has a lot of emotional stuff leftover from the way her marriage ended, but Dane is the perfect guy it seems for a second go at love. So yeah. If you’re looking for sweet with characters in their 30’s then this is a good pick!
So I've read this and as I finished it the only thing I felt was anger...how dare Adriana Locke give us this story that was perfect in every way but WAY TOO FUCKING SHORT (yes I'm swearing so U can see how affected I am)... I'm not sure that I ever wanted a story to go on and on and never end. Something about Kaylee and Dane will speak to you and I'm positive that you, just like me will fall quick and fast for these two.
I'm really hoping this story will develop to a full blown novel in the future because I'm seriously feeling deprived :P

This was by far the sweetest book! I absolutely adored everything about it. I loved both characters so much there was so much humor heat love and body positivity! I loved how much Dane was just so in love with Kaylee from day one without question. Kaylee definitely needed the kind of love and confidence that Dane gave her. I wish this book was longer so I could lost in their story some more! Absolutely amazing. I received an arc for my opinion.
Sometimes a short novella is a great way to refresh and enjoy a book without having to give a huge time commitment and 907 For Keeps Way is that book. Kelsey and Dane are adorable and I loved how Dane pushed Kelsey out of her comfort zone.
Dane was the perfect person to help Kelsey break the negative thoughts about herself and her previous marriage. His personality complemented Kelsey's well.
I loved Anna she was hilarious and a so much fun for a teenager!
Muy gratamente sorprendida, esta historia breve es mucho mas encantadora y adorable de lo que parece en un primer momento, me gusto muchisimo.
Para ser una lectura con tan pocas hojas, creo que la historia entre los protagonistas esta bien llevada, no resulta precipitada, ademas me agrado que la pareja protagonista no fuese la tipica joven y sin experiencia.
En conclusion, el mejor tomo de esta saga de los que he leido, lo recomiendo mucho.
907 For Keeps Way by Adriana Locke is an adorable and sexy small town romance that made me swoon and melt in a puddle of emotions. . Dane is one fine specimen of gorgeous book boyfriend with his charming, sweet and confident ways. And Every reader will relate to Kaylee because she is real and imperfectly perfect. She lost her confidence and self belief and was suffering from a broken confused heart but she never stopped being a beautiful, fierce and witty woman. Dane just showed her that how amazing she still is. I loved their chemistry and the heartwarming way of their progress. . You cannot go wrong with Adriana Locke if you are searching for a feel good and steamy romance.
Kaylee has too much wine one night and decides to sign for a "women's fit...thing". She arrives and learns that she isn't on the schedule she tells the girl she'll look at her schedule and call later. But Dane McDaniels has another idea. Dane has like Kaylee for a while from afar, so when he learns she's now divorced he takes action.
This is a short and sweet intsa love story with some steam. Kaylee was great and I loved her sassy daughter Anna and her best friend Haley. They were always supportive of her.
ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review.
First of all, I love this cover. Kaylee and Dane are so sweet together and just smitten right from the get go. Two deserving people finding their happy ever after. This is no angst, just romance, straight up. I smiled a lot while reading it and finished in one sitting. Definitely a feel good story.
Romance books exist because sometimes you just want an incredibly sweet man and you can only find them in fiction. Kaylee was adorable, a little awkward, and used humor as a weapon which made her totally relatable. This one was sweet, sexy, and laugh out loud fun!
If you are looking for a short, sweet, sexy, insta-love story that is totally drool worthy then look no further!!! 907 FKW is the perfect pick. Best of all it’s a short, but amazing book you’ll not want to put down.
Kaylee Richards, single mom, recently divorced, reflecting on what happened to her during her marriage finds herself in a bit of a quandary. She is a successful business owner, runs a pizza shop, loves food- especially pizza and has also put on 50 pounds during this time, oh she also has a sassy 15-year-old daughter. After an evening of a little too much wine and Kaylee signs up for a women’s fit class with a trainer. But when she arrives at the gym at when she thought was her appointment she was in error.
This is where Dane McDaniels, personal trainer comes in. To put it lightly, Dane is the town hottie. He owns Cherry Fall Fitness but he’s also Mr. Tall, Dark, Handsome with muscles for ogling. He is sought after by the town’s women, the envy of the men, he’s also a bit of a recluse. Yet, when he makes himself available for Kaylee’s visit there is a lot of comradery that strikes between them. Kaylee realizes that there is nothing threatening about Dane is a boost to her confidence. Finding out that Kaylee is not really into any of the traditional workout you get at the gym he sets out to show her there are other ways of exercising.
So, they meet the next day to Kaylee’s surprise to go kayaking. It turns out to be so much fun that Kaylee doesn’t even think about it being exercise. Furthermore, she and Dane end up having a great time full of laughter and bantering. Needless to say they both end up in the water and this is where things really heat up.
907 For Keeps Way was such a positive book for women who have struggled with the effect of life. Weight gain, divorce, self-esteem. Plus I loved Kaylee’s daughter, Anna and her BFF Haley!!

This book is a quick novella read in the Cherry Falls Romance series and is packed full of LOL moments and swoon worthy melt your kindle ones also.
This is Kaylee and Dane's story and boy oh boy did they bring some fun to this fast paced romance. Kaylee is a divorced mom of a teen daughter who runs a pizza place in their small quaint little town. She feels inadequate about herself since her husband left her for a very much younger girl. Like all women she has insecurities that have built over time and one wine induced night clicks on a training session at the only gym in Cherry Falls. Dane is definitely the eye candy of the town. He's single, sweet, and owns his own business and is a personal trainer, so obviously he's a catch and no one has been able to pique his interest so far. Except we find out he has had a thing for Kaylee for awhile but thought she was married. Well luck or fate steps in and they both find themselves falling for one another and things definitely heat up for this pair. This is such a fun and quick read that brings a vulnerability of letting someone back into your life after being let down or hurt and finding yourself opening your heart to find love again. Yes you will have the relatable moments with Kaylee as she shows her distaste for exercise and her fun banter with Hayley again. Dane will give you that sweet and swoony guy moments with his genuine love of a HEA.
If you are looking for a quick but satisfying little romance this is definitely a good pick. Adriana Locke, always brings that small town romance to new heights and these characters are lovable and relatable in a fast paced setting. I voluntarily signed up for an ARC for this book with nothing to gain from it other than giving my honest opinion/review of this book. So if your looking for a book that gives you that swoony feeling of falling in love again or even finding it for the first time truly, then grab this book and enjoy the happiness it will bring you.
Talk about a feel-good read! There was nothing that I didn't adore about this novella. While it may be a quick read, it certainly doesn't skimp in terms of character growth and story development. Kaylee is awesome--the kind of woman you want to cheer on and be friends with. I loved that she wanted to make a change post-divorce, not because her husband left her for someone younger, but because it was something she believed would be a step towards reclaiming the woman she once was. And Dane? Well, the guy was everything you could want in a book boyfriend. He was encouraging and downright devoted to Kaylee. Now, for the record, this wasn't a case of insta-love, especially on his end. You'll have to read the novella to understand why I say that. And yes, this is me highly recommending this gem of a read. It honestly the perfect pick-me-up after one stressful thing after another. If I had to nitpick, my only quibble would have to be the cover because the female model looks more like she needs an extra fifty pounds rather than lose it. But hey, don't judge a book by its cover and all that jazz, right? Here's hoping you fall for 907 For Keeps Way like I did. This gets five stars.
I'm loving these Cherry Falls novellas from all the various romance authors! Adriana Locke is a favorite of mine and so getting this little story with her wit and humor is a nice little pick me up kind of read.
If you read Adriana's other Cherry Falls contribution, 608 Alpha Ave, you probably remember Kaylee as Haley's best friend. Kaylee is a divorced single mom wanting to make some changes so that she feels more like who she was before she had become a wife and mom. So despite her aversion to exercise, she finds herself not only at the gym but with Cherry Fall's sexiest eligible bachelor, Dane, as her personal trainer. Only Dane would rather work Kaylee out in other ways than in the gym!
This book is everything I'd want in a rom-com novella... it's witty and fun, the story moves quickly but without feeling totally unrealistic and there was some spiciness to the story as well. Dane was sweet, swoon-worthy and showed Kaylee just how wonderful she is through his eyes making my heart sigh with awe. Kaylee was funny and relatable as a mom and woman who has lived life and enjoys things like food and needs to find ways to feel beautiful and happy in her new skin. Another great contribution to the Cherry Falls series!
Tired of feeling sorry for herself since her divorce, Kaylee decides that a gym membership is the first step to reinventing herself. But a misread email lands her several days early for her appointment, but just in time for Dane McDaniels, the town's most eligible bachelor and owner of the gym, to offer her free workout classes. Shocked and intrigued, she agrees.
Dane mostly keeps to himself - people consider him a recluse. He's hardly impulsive, but when he sees Kaylee in his gym, he seizes his chance to get close to the woman he's been admiring from afar. As he pushes Kaylee out of her comfort zone, but into a mindset where she's comfortable with herself, he hopes she'll make room for him.
This short, sweet, insta-love romance was such a wonderful read. I enjoyed it and found it was the perfect read for me after two intense reads. Dane McDaniels will make you swoon, and you'll be eager to see how he and Kaylee get together.
I recommend this book unreservedly.
I voluntarily read & reviewed an ARC of this book.
907 For Keeps Way is a novella in the Cherry Falls series by Adriana Locke. This is a short, sweet and a little sexy story between a recently divorced single mom looking to find herself again, and the sexy, nice guy owner of the local gym. Kaylee just wants to get back to the woman she used to be and she thinks working out might be a good start. She never thought Dane, the man every woman wants, would be her trainer. Dane can't believe his luck when he see Kaylee at his gym. He has always had a thing for her and now that she's single, this is his sign. Woo her and get her to fall for him. Kaylee can't believe Dane actually asked her out. And his sweet words about how much he likes her as a person on the inside and out is just what she needs to hear. Dane never makes her feel like she needs to diet or exercise. He's attracted to the woman she is. The total package and he loves her curves. They both just need to take a chance on love! I really enjoyed this story. It was low angst, lots of feels and I finished it a few hours.
It's impressive how much is packed into one short novella. We have a sassy, flawed shero who's lost her confidence in the face of a divorce. Kaylee is busy with her pizza business and her teenage daughter, and she's the one in town who takes care of everyone else. The last thing on her mind is a relationship with a man, and especially the one man in town all the women drool after.
Dane McDaniels may look like a Greek God and turn the head of women young and old, but this guy is pure gold. Kind and humble with a big capacity for love, and he has his sights set on Kaylee. When she makes a rash decision to sign up for three personal training sessions at Dane's gym, Dane seizes the opportunity to get to know Kaylee better.
Short and sweet, yet touching and full of heart, this witty, steamy, feel-good romance is just what you need for a quick escape. These characters will effortlessly abscond with your heart, and you'll love every moment you spend with them.
907 For Keeps Way is the second novella that Adriana Locke has written for the Cherry Falls series/world. It was super cute and I would be lying if I said I didn't wish it was a full length novel.
Dane and Kaylee were super cute! It was fun to get to know Kaylee and her daughter better. You also get some cameos from Hayley from the first Cherry Falls novella by Adriana Locke.
Dane is super sweet. I love that he was always upfront and honest with not only himself, but also with Kaylee about what he wants and what he truly thinks of her.
I hope, one day, there might be more from our Cherry Falls friends! Thanks for a super cute, quick, spunky read!
This is my very first book/novella by Ms Locke and WOW, have I been missing out!! This was exactly what I need at the moment. Short and sweet.
I fell in love with Dane immediately, he has this calm demeanor to him and he isn't the normal hot guy in most stories. He's genuine.
Kaylee is someone most of us ladies can relate to. I'm not talking about the divorce but just after time kind of losing who we are. Children, marriage, and jobs all run us amuck and it was kind of refreshing to read about Kaylee and her inner struggles.
The book was short and fun. I really am for a sweet love story like this and wish there was more!! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
My favorite of the Cherry Falls books I have read!! 907 For Keeps Way was the 36th book in the series by Adriana Locke! It was sweet, sexy, and so swoony!
Kaylee had been feeling kind of down after her divorce. Somehow she convinced herself to sign up for a gym trial but never expected to have Dane as a trainer. Dane was someone she never thought could be in her league, but as they spent time together she may have had things wrong!
This one was amazing but left me wanting more! I loved these two!! Their connection was adorable and I loved the playfulness! So cute!
This book went way too fast! Kaylee and Dane were sweet together. He brought out the qualities in her that were hidden. She just didn’t quite know how to own them. Dane was so down to earth and likable that it was hard not to fall in love with him. Good thing for mixed up appointments for these two or they probably wouldn’t have ended up together.
I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.

So welcome to Cherry Falls, we hope you stay awhile!
Loved Dane and Anna's story! Loved how both of these characters were a bit more mature without all the drama. There was lots of chemistry between these two. I loved how quick witted and sassy Anna was. Great novella.
Dane and Kaylee are so much fun and a great couple. I could not put this book down and getting to see two strong people get to know each other is so great. Adrianna Locke never disappoints and getting to check back with Cherry falls and some great friends we have met before. Getting to see kaylee’s daughter and best friend was also great. Could not put this book down.
I LOVED this book and was so happy to see Haley and Anna in it. I devoured this book in a few hours and couldn’t get enough of Dane. I really enjoyed how Kaylee’s insecurities were displayed because I could totally relate. This book was super quick and packed full of everything that I love. As always, I wish it was longer so I could live in this world for a little longer, but it’s also a great story to grab when you don’t have a lot of time and need something to make you feel good and lift your spirits. Highly recommend!
I really loved reading this short novella apart of the Cherry Falls Series.
Dane & Kaylee's story was beyond sweet and really showed that sometimes unanswered prayers are the best thing.
Kaylee felt like she didn't deserve the kind of love that Dane was ready to give but the minute that she opens up to him all her walls crumble and she lets him in and its such a great start to a love story.
*I received this book as an arc for my honest review.
I loved this cute mini story about a single mom and a hot single guy. I absolutely love Adriana Locke's small town romances and this did not disappoint at all.
The only complaint I have about 907 For Keeps Way is that it was entirely too short. I WANT MORE! For being a novella, the story was not lacking. I loved finding out that Dane was interested in Kaylee for years and when she happened to come into his gym it was fate. Kaylee is fresh off a divorce and her confidence was completely shredded by her ex-husband. I loved how Dane helped Kaylee find herself again! It was beautiful!
Omg this is me going to the gym. How do these authors write about me? PTSD! I tell you these authors give me PTSD. Lol I really had sat outside the gym maybe not eating a candy bar, but really thinking about what I was going to eat after that workout.
I loved this insta love story. Dane had always been drawn to her, and Kaylee just needed to see it. He was great at showing her worth to him. This story left me wanting more!
This book is so well written, you almost forget it's a novella. That makes it shorter, but this story is not missing a thing! A single mom, a hot trainer everyone in town wants. Just a beautiful short story you must read!
