5 beautiful stars.

I love reading books by this author, they always make me want to have a family like the ones in her stories. Of course, the families aren’t perfect because no family is ever perfect but the goods outweigh the bad. This Mayson family is a ball of energy, fun, laughter, togetherness and so much love. This book is an amazing enemies to lovers, it’s chuck full of fun, banter and sexiness. Read Reputation book lovers, so worth your time.

The perfect boy next door

This story had so many facets, it was friends to lovers and enemies to lover at the same time. Bellamy and Coy grew up together and were best friends for so long before Bellamy couldn't stand the thought of Coy. Coy moved away and became famous, but when he comes home after a career issue, the girl next door is all he can think of.

Bellamy is strong and builds a wall around herself because she shows the world how OK she is when inside she is drowning. She lost her mom and is taking care of her dad as he goes through cancer treatments. She needs someone and when Coy returns to town she doesn't want to need him, but she does.

Coy is the golden boy next door who made it big and now is home and is ready to win Bellamy's heart. He figured out how to show his love and not just tell her.

This story had me in tears.As someone who has watched loved ones battle cancer and lose, this story struck a chord with me and I felt such a strong connection with Bellamy. It was well written and I loved these characters.

The narrators did a great job bringing this story to life. I wanted to keep driving to keep listening.

Reputation

Reputation is the second book in the Mason Family series. This book is told from dual points of view from Coy Mason and Bellamy Davenport.

Coy and Bellamy were best friends and next door neighbors in a small town growing up. Coy and Bellamy had feelings for each other, but then he left for Nashville to be a Country Music star. Something happened to Bellamy and when she needed Coy he ignored her. So she decided she hated him.

Now Coy is home trying to stay out of the tabloids due to something his publicist did. He's trying to figure out what to do next with his music career. When Bellamy shows up at his door to see his mom. They would banter and bicker at first, but then feelings came back into play.

Can Bellamy learn to give her heart back to Coy? Can Coy be there for Bellamy when she needs him? Can Coy save his reputation from the Tabloids? What will happen when he has to go back to Nashville for his career.

This book was amazing and I could not put it down. It was great to see Holt (his brother) and Blaire from the first book in the series. As well as Larissa and Hollis from The Relationship Pact book. I can't wait for Boone's story next! This series as well as every Adriana Locke book I've read has been a great read!

I loved the narrators as well. They really brought the book to life!

Even better on audio

I read this as an ebook and loved it, but I was gifted a code for the audiobook from the author and it was even better the second time. I love the Mason family and Bellamy's relationship with Coy get's better every time you experience it. The dual narration is awesome. Both narrators do a great job bringing these characters to life, which is really important as their banter and interaction is so key to the book.

I first met Coy and Bellamy in The Relationship Pact, and while their interaction in that book was short, it was enough to pull you into their story and want to know what happened between. The snark was on another level. This book starts out that way with the snark level through the roof, and the banter between Coy and Bellamy is great! Coy, a famous country western singer, is home hiding out after a PR disaster and is trying to figure out what he wants to do next with his life and career. Bellamy is the girl next door and used to be one of his best friends. At some point they were more, but something happened and now she hates him and he isn't quite sure why. When Bellamy's charge Bree literally throws a curveball into Coy's face, the two are forced to spend some time together when Coy offers to teach the little girl how to pitch and play piano. Bellamy is not happy about the situation but when forced to choose between her nanny job and allowing Bree to spend a few hours with Coy she caves.

This is a story about misunderstandings, grief, emotion, love and so much more. Bellamy and Coy used to be best friends and more, but neither of them is very good about communicating what they want or how they feel, especially when it comes to each other. They have some unresolved baggage from their past that has caused quite the rift in their relationship. Unfortunately, they both have a lot going on in their lives at the moment and despite the fact that they love each other, they aren't quite sure how to make it work when they need to be in two different places. Fortunately for both of them, they have a strong support system and get some pretty great advice from their friends and family. This just proves that good communication and understanding what your partner needs is so important in a relationship.

I loved the characters in this. Because they had been friends for so long before hand we bypass the instalove and settle in to an easy going banter session full of memories and feelings. The Mason family is awesome and I can't wait to get to know all of them.

Ideal boy/girl next door romance

This is a new to me author and I genuinely enjoyed this listen. From the family dynamic to the heartbreaking reality of an Ill loved one you definitely will experience a variety of emotions. Character development is present in many ways and both our main characters really grow throughout the story. I recommend this story to anyone that enjoys 2md chance romance as well as enemies to lovers. As an added bonus these 2 narrators always do a stellar job.

Kind of struggled

I can see how this is a pretty good story but my struggle with this one is the male narrator, especially when he does the female voice, I normally avoid his books so I was hoping it would be different. I think he distracts from the story.

3.5 stars rouned uo

I received a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. The narration was just okay. I liked the female narrator but I did not particularly care for the male narrator. I knowo that a lot of people enjoy his work but he is just not my cup of tea. I think I would have enjoyed this better if I read the book rather than listened to it. the story overall was good.
