Crank by Adriana Locke
4.0

I borrowed this book on Prime Reading. I hadn't read anything by the author prior to this book, but I found the premise and cover to be interesting.

The first thing I noticed that I absolutely loved were the names in the story. The character names weren't your every day John and Sally, but they weren't so outlandish as to seem trying too hard. The next thing that caught me was the "meet cute" as they call it. The nickname "Slugger" which stuck for the rest of the book, only added to that cuteness.

Both Walker and Sienna have a backstory and a depth that isn't always achieved as efficiently as it is in this book. You start out already feeling like you sort of know this town and these people and even at the end of the book you're still wanting to know more. Which is great, because there is a continuation of this series surrounding the Gibson men, and a spin off series surrounding the Landry family. I, for one, can't wait to read them all!

The drama in this book is only matched by the chemistry and tension between the two main characters. And the side characters only add depth and dynamic to the start to this series. I feel like fans of good and steamy contemporary romance will devour the pages and be thirsting for the next volume.
