Series: Landry Family #4

Author: Adriana Locke

Genre: Second Chance/Military Romance

BLURB

Ellie Pagan has a list of reasons to stay away from Ford Landry.

It’s a mile long and was so much easier to stick to when he was a world away. Now that he’s standing in front of her—body hard and chiseled from a stint in the military, suit cut to perfection, and a smirk she could never resist—remembering all the reasons why just got a whole lot harder.

Ford gets Ellie isn’t his biggest fan. He just doesn’t care.

Standing in front of him, giving him hell, she’s even prettier than he remembered. All he can think about is how she felt in his arms, the taste of her kiss, the sound of her giggle in the middle of the night. He may not know how to win her back, but he does know this: he may have let her go once, but that’s one mistake he won’t make again.

EXCERPT Our breathing quickens, the blues of his eyes growing stormy. A chill tears through me as he accidentally-on-purpose brushes his arm against mine. It’s like muscle memory, my body remembering exactly what to do around his.

My knees dip, my mouth waters, and I fight the ache in between my thighs as he looks down at me like it’s me he wants for dinner.

“What if I throw breakfast in afterwards?” he prods. “Does that make me, I mean it, more appetizing?”

That’s all it takes, that one little hint of arrogance, that brings me back to reality.

I flip him a smile. “It makes it less, actually.”

His own smile wavers. “I get that you probably hate me.”

“You’re right. I do.”

“I want the chance to explain.”

“You have the same chances of getting the chance to explain as I do of getting what every woman wants.”

“What’s that?”

I lean in, like I’m going to tell him a secret. Whispering, I say, “Being able to eat all the pizza and not gain an ounce.”

Turning on my heel, I head to the back as his chuckle fills the room. “That was good. I’ll give you that.”

I shrug and keep walking.

“You can at least let me apologize.”

The authority in his tone, like I owe him something, stops me in my tracks. I whirl around to face him. “You don’t deserve a chance to apologize to me.”

“I didn’t say I deserved it,” he says earnestly. “But I would love the opportunity to do so.” He forces a swallow, my eyes glued to his lips. “I would appreciate the chance to get to see you again.”

The snicker that comes from me is unexpected by both of us. “So charming. I forgot how good you are with words.”

“Does that mean that’s a yes?”

“That means that’s a no,” I smile. “That means I’m not about to let you come in here and look at me with those bright blue eyes and make me forget what it felt like to have you rip my heart out.”

He flinches. “I didn’t mean to do that, Ellie.”

“Don’t act surprised,” I laugh angrily. “There’s no way you thought I just went on with my life after you left. I dated you for four years, Ford. And after what we went through …”

It’s me gulping now, the anger so palpable that I almost have tears in my eyes. My hands shake as I remember the fight that ensued after he told me he was enlisting.

“You left me,” I repeat, shaking my head. “So leave me again. There’s the door. Should I hold it open for you this time?”

My Review

Swear is book four in the Landry Family series but it can be read as a stand-alone… although, I don’t know who wouldn’t want to read the rest of the Landry brother’s stories! I read each book as they were released and it seemed like each new story got better and better. I don’t really want to pick one because I love them all, but if I HAD to, Ford would be my favourite Landry brother!

Ellie is a sweet, generous and kind woman. She’s also strong, independent and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty. Ford broke her heart almost a decade ago and when she sees him again, she still feels that pull in her heart. Wanting to protect herself from future heartache, Ellie does her best to resist Ford.

Ford, what can I say about him? He is sexy, charming, protective and sweet. He made some mistakes, but he has never stopped caring about Ellie. Ford lost her once, and now that they’ve crossed paths again, he’ll do whatever it takes to win her over and gain her trust.

I love how this second chance romance unfolded, taking you on a journey of love, trust and healing. It was also great catching up with the other Landry’s as their banter always adds extra entertainment to the story! I adore this series and I cannot wait to read what’s next from Ms. Locke! If you are in the mood for a passionate, humorous second chance romance with just a bit of drama and angst, then I urge you to one-click Swear!
