Review / Release Blitz: This Much is True (Marshall Family) by Adriana Locke

When celebrity Laina Kelley bolted from her small hometown church on her wedding day, she ran to the first place that came to mind—to the home of the local farrier, a gorgeous playboy who just so happens to be her first love ... and biggest frenemy.

This Much Is True by Adriana Locke is now live!

USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke delivers a new “sweet and spicy!” standalone romance about a runaway bride who finds herself in the arms, and horse barn, of her deliciously handsome frenemy—who just so happens to be her first love.

This isn’t your average romance. It begins with me in a wedding dress, just not at an altar …

I never expected to be a runaway bride. I also never thought I’d end up on my ex’s doorstep to flee from said wedding. Now that I’m here, it’s easy to find the key in an old boot by the door and let myself inside. It’s not breaking and entering if I have a key, right?

It’s safe to say that Luke Marshall didn’t expect to find me on his couch in my wedding dress, my veil over my face in tears. He has no choice but to listen to my panic-induced plea for salvation. It’s only a matter of time before the tabloids get wind of my disappearing act, and my life is over.

Luke takes pity on me and says I can stay… on one condition.

I can’t sing for my supper—I have to earn it. I have to work in the barn alongside him, up to my elbows in horse manure. Oh—and because there’s only one bed, I get the couch.

This works … in theory. However, when sparks start flying, and the small-town farrier asks me to stay, I’ll have to decide between my life as a pop star or a second chance with my first love.

MY REVIEW

Laina has had it. So after leaving what was supposed to be her wedding, she's landed on her first love's doorstep. Luke isn't home, but she can make herself at home. And wait for Luke's decision on whether she can stay. And maybe they can finally talk about the past, let all those feelings come out.

Luke has never loved anyone but Laina. She's here now and he's determined to show her that love. Oh he knows in the back of his mind that she'll leave eventually, and that he'll stay, but for now he's going to be her rock. He'll deal with his broken heart later, after she leaves, again.

There's something about Adriana's small town stories. Luke and Laina have that charm, that sweetness that's Adriana's signature, and I loved them together! There isn't a lot of angst, but there's a lot of heart, a heroine who finally puts her life to rights (and I was cheering her on for it), and an absolutely swoony hero who protects the love of his life. The Marshall Family is awesome, can't wait for more of them to fall in love.

Meet Adriana

USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author, Adriana Locke, writes contemporary romances about the two things she knows best—big families and small towns. Her stories are about ordinary people finding extraordinary love with the perfect combination of heart, heat, and humor.

She loves connecting with readers, fall weather, football, reading alpha heroes, everything pumpkin, and pretending to garden.
