After careful deliberation, after much debate and discussion, after weighing the pros and cons, I will #VoteLandry. To be perfectly honest, it was touch and go there for awhile in the beginning, but Barrett's charm, inherent kindness, and love for his family won me over.

Adriana Locke really knows how to write a strong female character, and Alison Baker is no exception. She's a single mother, determined to do everything she can to make a great life for her and her son, after a horrible situation. ...more

4-4.5 stars. Alison Baker is a single mom working 2 different jobs while putting herself through school. Once upon a time, she lived a life in the public eye and it all went up in flames so Alison vows to herself to never depend on another person because it can all be taken away so quickly. Barrett Landry is the mayor of Savannah, now running for governor. He's neck to neck in the polls so this election will be a close one. While he should be focusing on seeking approval ratings and votes to bac ...more

Sway
by Adriana Locke

Have You ever just fall in love with a story? Well that seems to be the case here. With “Sway” a divine, captivating, exquisite and sizzling romance. That had enraptured me from the start. I truly just had the urge to indulge in my whim and just go with the book. Which meant I didn't put it down. Yes I felt every tear that fell from my eyes. Then my heart would go pitter patter and then swell with t ...more

I've never been a big fan of any type of political romance but Adriana really changed my mind with this book.

I was pretty skeptical because I didn't know what to expect but this book couldn't have been any better. Alison and Barrett are perfect for each other in every way, and I was really impressed because I felt Barrett really grew as a person in this book.

I was pretty skeptical because I didn't know what to expect but this book couldn't have been any better. Alison and Barrett are perfect for each other in every way, and I was really impressed because I felt Barrett really grew as a person in this book.

Barrett Landry is the mayor of Savannah and running for Governor. He doesn't have time for a relationship until Alison Baker changes all his rules.

Alison is a single mom, trying to make a life for her and her son Huxley. She's working and going to school while trying to be a mother and father to him. She has been destroyed by her ex in the public eye so meeting Barrett is the last thing she expected.

Alison and Barrett have this connection and while thinking he's just a playboy, he even changed my mind, too. Even though he seemed to abide by what his father pressed him to be, I love how he was a take-charge kind of guy with Alison. He's hot and sexy with a heart of gold. He knows Alison has a son and knows that if he pursues her that her son is part of the package with her. I admired that about his character because he really liked Huxley. He wasn't trying to just impress her by liking him, he wanted it all.

“I want you. All of you, Alison.”

But, finding out about Alison's past, he knew he had his work cut out for him when trying to break down her walls. Who can blame her? She was completely humiliated by her ex.

Adriana did a great job in the way she executed this book. So many times when a child is involved, the kids seemed to be pushed aside and you don't hear much about them. Not this book. Huxley is a major character in this book and I was so glad to see that. I just loved all of Barrett's family and I am intrigued by Lincoln, Barrett's brother, so I cannot wait to get his book now!

I was hooked from beginning to end and finished this book with a smile on my face. The sex scenes were hot, the characters made me feel right at home with them, and I recommend this 4 star book.

If you are a fan of Adriana Locke's early work (The Exception, The Perception) then you will absolutely enjoy Sway. Don't get me wrong, this is NOT a repeat of those earlier works, but is definitely in the same vein.
In Sway, we meet the Landry family who are part of the Savannah elite. While we get glimpses of all 6 siblings, the focus is on Savannah Mayor, Barrett Landry, as he is approaching election day in the race for Governor. His unexpected lady love is single mom Alison.
These two are so ...more

I devoured this book and absolutely loved it. Sway is shooting to the top of my list as one of my favorite reads of the year and probably even favorite ever. Adriana has a wonderful way with words and creating these amazing stories with characters and a storyline that keep you drawn in from start to finish. You feel like you are right there with the characters, living the story with them. I'm a sucker for a story with a child and I have to say, Huxley is one of the coolest kids ever. He reminds ...more

I know I am late to the party, but I recently listened to Sway by Adriana Locke, the first book in her Landry Family series, and narrated by Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross. I absolutely loved it! Barrett Landry seems like the perfect man. He is powerful, sexy, charming and almost out of reach. Alison is a single mother working to give herself and her son Huxley a better life. She is focused on their future, their small family and work. Then a chance encounter with Barrett changes everything.

I stayed up way too late last night because I couldn't put this damn book down! I loved it! I loved everything about it! Barrett was perfect. Alison stuck to her guns and didn't roll over for him, and her young son Huxley was adorable. I was so happy to see so much interaction with his entire family, and I'm so looking forward to reading all their stories. Write faster, Adriana! I'm impatiently waiting to read! ...more

Sway... I've been swayed and Barrett has my vote. I swear every time I read one of Adriana's books it's my favorite of hers and Sway was no different. I absolutely adored Alison and Barrett.

Alison is so strong, I admire her will to take care of her son. Working multiple jobs and going to school, she's determined to give her son a good life after a very public and ugly divorce.

Barrett is a hot and sexy playboy politician, until he meets Alison. I loved his determination to sway Alison's vote. F ...more
