ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 20, 2021
“I had to sneeze.”
I should’ve taken her insurance information and driven off like any reasonable CEO with places to be would.
She crashed into my car, for heaven’s sake. Because she had to sneeze.
What did I do? I didn’t get in my car and drive away, if that’s what you’re thinking.
Nope. I stuck around. I could suggest I stayed because she needed help, but the truth? She was really, really hot.
We became fast friends. Then friends with benefits. Before I knew it, we were involved in an illicit office romance that had me fumbling through a drawerful of panties to get a Post-It.
It was supposed to be easy—a fling, if you will. A dashing millionaire hero (*adjusts tie*) and a beautiful (stubborn, frustratingly independent, hell-on-wheels) damsel in distress. (Don’t tell her I said that.)
It wasn’t supposed to be forever, but we did want a happy ending. (Pun intended.) We could’ve made it work, too.
But one of us overcomplicated things with the L-word. And the other? They omitted a truth that changed everything.

REVIEW:*Dives for kindle*
Relentless is here! Book Four in the Mason Family series has arrived from the lovely Adriana Locke. Relentless is a contemporary romance that can be read as a standalone in the series, but as I always recommend, it’s better in the series order. This book is such a good read, it’s fun, it’s happy, its drama, it’s spicy, it’s everything you want to inject into your own life sometimes. And what’s better you ask? It’s on Kindle Unlimited!
Shaye luck hasn’t been the best the last few years, she is still dealing with the issues of her past, but she’s a strong independent woman who doesn’t take crap for anything. She wants to earn her way and pay back what needs to be paid back. This motto is what she is basing her life around at the moment, well she was until she sneezed her way into her very own CEO.
Oliver is a workaholic, a hot as Hades workaholic, but nonetheless, spends far too much time behind his desk. His life revolves around work, sure he makes time for his family, family is family, but the spare time for relationships is not for him. Having been burned by love in the past, Oliver has taken his work as his wife and has no plans to change. That was, until Shaye.
A chance encounter, a connection that sparks more than lust, can Oliver let go of the past and move on to greener pastures? Or will his workaholic ways win out?
What a story! I love Ollie and Shaye so much! Their relationship was so much fun to read, from the beginning of the Mason Family series, I couldn’t wait to see what Addy would do, where she would go with the character, who she would pair everyone up with. All I have to say is, way to go girly! I can always count on Addy for a good book, her characters are so real and relatable. I want a family like the Mason’s!

“Okay,” I say, following his lead and standing.
He comes around the corner of his desk and stops a few feet in front of me.
Our eyes lock, his irises shifting colors again—deepening—as he takes me in. If we were in another place—any other place—at another time—besides the office in which we both work—I’d raise on my tiptoes and kiss him.
At least, I think that’s what I would do. It’s been so long. But the version of me that lives in my head and plays out fictional romantic interludes believes that’s what would happen.
My mouth goes dry, and my lips are downright parched. But as the reel of the make-believe kiss we’d share finishes in my head, I scamper back to reality and the fact that he’s my boss. And no matter how kissable he is or what I wouldn’t give to lean in to this feeling—the one that feels pretty and desired—I don’t.
I can’t.
Because life is about priorities and having a roof over your head is a big one. So, too, is ensuring that you don’t give people the ability to screw up your life.
Kissing my boss would surely put me at risk for the first one. It would definitely be wading into the waters of the second.
“Let me know if you need anything from me today,” I say, my voice a little raspier than I would like.
His eyes darken, but all he does is nod.
I lift my chin and give him my best-practiced smile. Then I turn on my heel and escape into my office.
She resides in the Midwest with her husband, her sons, two dogs, two cats, and a bird. She spends a large amount of time playing with her kids, drinking coffee, and cooking. You can find her outside if the weather’s nice, and there’s always a piece of candy in her pocket. Besides cinnamon gummy bears, boxing, and random quotes, her next favorite thing is chatting with readers. She’d love to hear from you! Look for her at www.adrianalocke.com.
