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.

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.

Lovely story!

Laina Kelley left town years ago to pursue her singing career. Pushed by her "dance mom" manager father, she cut ties with her past. She's now in a wedding dress she hates, getting ready to walk down the aisle to a man she doesn't really love and who's hell-bent on changing who she really is. So, she flees. And she flees to the safest place she's ever known: Luke Marshall's home. 
When Luke gets home from work and sees Laina in her poofy wedding dress in his living room, he's pretty sure he's hallucinated her back into his life. He had lost all hope of ever seeing her again when the news of her impeding nuptials broke, let alone see her back in his place! She needs a place to hide... and Luke has never said no to Laina...
Adriana said she wanted to write a hug in book form and she succeeded. This is warm and fuzzy and sweet and swoony and steamy! I'm already in love with the Marshalls and I had my doubts that she could make Luke top tier book boyfriend (we met him in the first book and I wasn't exactly impressed with his track record, just saying...). but she did it! Luke and Laina are adorable and perfect together.
It's surprisingly low angst, considering the several situations Laina is running away from and I love that!
Narrated dual style by a new pairing to me and I loved them together: Shiloh James and Lane Greenfield. Shiloh has a sweet and warm voice that is perfect for Laine. Lance embodies Luke with perfection. A wonderful audiobook!
Perfect if you love second chance at your first love, found family, sexy farriers with Instagram fans, loyal bodyguards, and sugar with a lot of spice! Lovely!

True love never fades

Luke and Laina, I loved their story! Getting another Marshall Family book was great as well. This was a fun and (mostly) light read. HEA and a surprise at the end of the epilogue! The spice was there and it was gooooood! Looking forward to the next Marshall book!

second chance, small town, runaway bride!

Thanks so much to Adriana and Valentine PR for the ARC copy and advanced Listener’s copy! I really enjoyed This Much Is True!! It was short and sweet and a classic Adriana Locke small-town romcom- plus the audiobook was phenomenal as usual. I just really love Adriana’s books in audio format- they’re light, easy to listen to, and keep me entertained the entire time.
 
This Much Is True follows Laina, a pop star, as she bails on her wedding day back in her hometown. There’s only 1 place to flee though, and it’s right into the home of her ex-boyfriend/first love/one-that-got-away, Luke. Now that they’ve reunited after years, it’s time to address what happened back in the day as well as deal with unresolved feelings they both have.
 
This book was so cute and enjoyable, just what I always need whenever I pick up an Adriana Locke book.

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.

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.

What real love looks like!

I loved this book. Could not put it down, I enjoyed their friendship and genuine admiration they had for each other. Then add the love and the steam... it was just a great read!

great story

I really loved the second chance romance it was a absolute great story where she's being run by her father who's actually running her to the ground basically being told who to marry who to do everything for and runs back to where she used to live and right into the arms of the guy who well she left it all for it was a great story I highly recommend it. both narrators didn't good job.
