Review: Show Me by Adriana Locke

Show Me by Adriana Locke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was provided an ARC of this book via the author, all opinions are my own.

This is the third book in the series, however it can be read as a standalone.  I highly recommend reading the previous two books as you will meet Audrey's two best friends Astrid and Gianna and their significant others.  They are mentioned often and are wonderful friends you will want to get to know if you haven't already.

Audrey is in a bit of a funk.  She has always been a bit sweet and innocent, but she wants to walk on the wild side but she isn't quite sure how to tackle being unpredictable and impulsive.  Fortunately for her, Brooks knows all about being impulsive and a bit wild.  He is Gray's childhood best friend and often barges into Astrid and Gray's cabin where Audrey is staying while she is on her self-discovery journey.  He offers to help Audrey with whatever she needs with no strings attached.  They quickly find that they get along easily and they have great chemistry.  There is only one issue, Audrey's brother Drew and Brooks hate each other.  They are both MMA fighters and Drew is not a fan of Audrey's budding relationship.  

I really enjoyed this!  I really liked Audrey's whimsy list and I'm all for female empowerment.  All of her goals were achievable and reasonable.  Everyone has things that they are scared of no matter how silly they seem to other people or things that they want to do but can never bring themselves to do for one reason or another.  I thought she and Brooks had good chemistry and I'm glad that the angst didn't last very long and liked the way the conflict was handled and resolved.  I would have liked if the interaction with Audrey and Drew and her family story arc in general had been explored a bit more, it felt a bit glossed over, but they weren't key to the main romance storyline.  If you are looking for spice this has some great scenes once things heat up.  This was really fun and a great addition to the series overall.  I'm looking forward to the next book in the series, I hope its Hartley!
