608 Alpha Avenue by Adriana LockeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was really fun and totally NSFW! I was provided an ARC via the author, all opinions expressed are my own.
While this is part of the larger Cherry Falls Romance novella series, this reads as a standalone. I liked that the characters knew each other already, leaving out the insta-love aspect that we often find in these types of shorter stories. Grayson and Haley already knew one another, although not well, but they were already acquainted and attracted to one another so it didn't feel rushed or awkward when they finally get together.
Haley is an aspiring romance writer, and she is trying to figure out men. She doesn't understand them (who does) or why they are attracted to a certain type of woman. In exchange for some marketing materials for the local garage, she gets to interview her crush Grayson Blake for her book. Grayson is grumpy, standoffish, and secretly attracted to Haley. He is reluctant to spend any amount of time with her, but like a magnet he can't help but being pulled toward her.
This was a fairly quick read. It was also pretty steamy. There is actually a fair bit of character development in here despite it being a novella. You don't always get that in novellas because of the limited amount of pages, but Adriana did a good job with that here. Both Grayson and Haley have to figure out what they want and go after it. I really enjoyed this!
