BARRETT LANDRY has it all.

Power, prestige, and plenty of women, the dapper politician’s life is pretty phenomenal. But in the midst of the biggest campaign of his life, he needs to focus. The last thing he can afford is a distraction.

ALISON BAKER is a work-in-progress.

As a single mother to HUXLEY, she’s rebuilding life on her terms. She’s focused on family, faith, and a future for her son that can’t be taken away. Putting her child first means not being careless, no matter what.

A chance encounter forces Barrett and Alison to redefine what they really want out of life. But everything comes at a cost ... and sometimes, even for love, it’s a price too steep to pay.

*Author's note: Sway is a deliciously sexy, full length standalone novel. It packs a heavy dose of steam and has no cliffhanger.

What an enjoyable read ! This book has lots going on, there's certainly never a dull moment.

It's a pleasure to read a book that's well written, with believable chemistry between the lead characters. The secondary characters are great, and I look forward to further books in this series.

Read this, it will not disappoint 😀

It's a must read!

Reviewed in Australia on 18 May 2017

I've read this twice now, this is the first book in the Landry family series.
I love this book, I love how persistent that Barrett is with Ali.
I love that she chooses to face her fears head on and only does so with Barrett by her side. I'm so happy he was able to prove to her that he deserved a chance more than once. From the moment Barrett met Ali everything changed, he was drawn to Ali the same way Ali was drawn to him.
Ali is a super sweet girl and is the first woman to ever want him without an agenda, but her fears are valid especially when it comes to her son. She's protected him once before and no matter what he is her number 1
Huxley is an amazing little boy and I especially love the fact Barrett included him in everything, well not just Barrett but the whole Landry family:)

Adriana Locke is a brilliant writer who writes in ways that are so similar to real life versions of events, it's so relatable to the readers and it takes a gift to be able to do that.
Thanks for the awesome read x

A great story full of real characters facing difficult situations.

Reviewed in Australia on 23 December 2019

I bought the box set of this series when I heard Ms Locke had just suffered the loss of her home to a fire 😥... and boy, am I glad I bought this series!

I'm not much into following the political scene (I'm sure stuff like snooty politicians, glamorous parties etc happens here in Australia, but it's not a known/common thing. We have rules about how parties recieve/spend money on campaigns etc etc), but I enjoyed this look into Barrett's sphere of influence. I found him to be very likeable each time he treated Alison with respect.

Alison was a wonderful character to get to know, her resilience and fears were realistic, her life crazy at times (as was Barrett's). Oh and I loved Huxley. 😍

Looking forward to the next book.

Barrett's First Love

Reviewed in Australia on 27 March 2017

Five Star Winner

I was thrilled, and so excited to start another first book to the most incredible brilliant series, Landry Family. Written by the wonderful first time timed read author, Adriana Locke. I thoroughly enjoyed this most exciting, hilarious book. It was a wonderful Political romantic book. I adored all the wonderful characters finding this book and series so very hard to put down. A blast!!

We meet Alison Baker, who works in a restaurant. She isn't wealthy, and she has had a pretty hard life too. As a working in the single mother to her only son, Huxley. With her working in the day-time, and studying at night to become a journalist. She doesn't really have time off from that at all.

As she meets at work that day the most gorgeous bachelors, one including Barrett Landry. Such a wonderful man he is. So damn sexy and such beautiful man. Alison was now in complete lust. And everyone was just in love with him.

As she looks further over she notices the rest of his well known wealthy family.All from the southern state of Georgia. She then heads over them with the drinks to pass out to them all. Now meeting their sister, Camille Landry who is ever so sweet. She is just so sophisticated and attractive. So sweet and just so kind and so proud of her family in their Political standing in her lives. They are just all so charismatic!!

I absolutely adored this most thrilling and exciting romance. I loved all of this most wonderful character with so much humour and poise. I found it just so hard to put down. I am the happiest that I have already purchased all three books of this series. This is a Winner!!

* I recommend this book to everyone!!

SWEET AND SEDUCTIVE

Reviewed in Australia on 12 March 2017

Sway is the second 'Landry Family Series' Adriana Locke book I've read (I read book 3 first, out of order, I know). This book is a very sweet, seductive and engaging read with some drama for balance.
Beautiful Alison Baker is a single mum who has been burned by her wealthy, high ranking ex husband, so she is very tentative about forming a connection with Barrett Landry, the famous politician who she fears may be cut from the same cloth. Ali's hardworking, principled, nurturing and focused on building a better future for Huxley, her son. Huxley's character contributes a great deal to the narrative and provides opportunities to not only display his own qualities but those of his mother and Barrett, too.
Barrett is a smooth operator with the ladies, but he's also committed to his career, family oriented, loyal, good hearted and ethical. The politician stereotype really sticks in his craw and he hates playing the game to achieve his goals. Then there's the need for fake charm that urks him. Lastly, the media...appearance is everything and they are constantly looking for a story to stir up a frenzy or to put their own slant on
Adriana has the method for creating good plots and characters down pat. The clandestine relationship between Barrett and Ali is nicely developed and their steamy attraction sizzles. To step forward as a couple will require a lot of courage and resilience, though. Of course Adriana gives just as much attention to all parts of the storyline which maintained my interest throughout the book.
I recommend Sway to readers who like this genre.

5 Amazing Stars

Someone please tell me why it took me so long to read this book?!? This is now my second book by Adriana Locke and I can safely say it won't be my last. When I couldn't sleep at 3 am this morning, I downloaded the kindle app just so I could continue reading where I left off.

Barrett Landry is the mayor of Savannah and is current running for governor. He has a lot on his hands while trying to keep everyone happy at the same time. So when he meets Alison Baker at a party, while she is waitressing, he is immediately attracted to and intrigued by her. She isn't like all the other woman who throw themselves at him, so when Alison finally gives him her attention, he flirts up a storm.

"She has creamy skin and splattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose. Her eyes are a dark blue the colour is stormy, swirling, moving like a shield between us."

Alison is cautious, and rightly so since she's been humiliated and hurt by her ex-husband; someone else who was in the public eye. Even thought the attraction between them is off the charts, she is reluctant to take things any further with him. But she cannot deny her attraction to Barrett or the way he makes her body feel.

"Apparently you want someone that will bend to your will, jump,when you say so. And if that's what you want, try the girl in the red dress from last night, but it isn't going to be me."

Barrett had a tough job on his hands with getting Alison to open up to him, to take things further, and to give him a chance. Whenever he started to chip away at her walls, something would put them back up. He was persistent and at times you could feel how much he wanted Alison. He was very driven and had a big heart. And although he didn't always make the right decisions, he always fixed them in the end.

I loved Alison, she was so down to earth. Life dealt her some heartbreaking situations, but she still had a lot of fire and sass in her. I admired how she never let Barrett get away so easily. She made him work for it and she didn't just roll over and accept everything that he told her.

Adriana Locke has a special kind of magic when she writes a book. She writes about such strong female characters and some very swoon-worthy heroes. She pulls you into the story and never really lets you go until she's finished.

Roses are Amber

The romance was too cliched for me.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 November 2019

Verified Purchase

Sway is book #1 of the Landry Family series of contemporary romance.

Set in America the story revolves around the election campaign of Barrett Landry and how he is sexually distracted by a waitress.

Alison Baker is a single mum who has been suffered from media harassment in the past, so she is reluctant to start a relationship with a man who is already a media target.

I thought the plot line was rather unbelievable as Barrett would have realistically been more focused on his political plans and Alison would have wanted to avoid a man like Barrett. I thought much of the romance was rather cliched, and it had me rolling my eyes in disbelief too often. Sadly, this became a DNF book for me.

Landry, grapes and everything nice! Another winner from Ms. Locke!!

What are you doing to me?" she whispers, her voice filled with as much need as is coursing through my body. I press my lips against her neck, right beneath her ear.
"Exactly what you thought I was going to do to you. What you were picturing in your mind when you agreed to be mine."

This was just so freaking good. I loved it so much.

And I kind of hate Adriana Locke right now because I have absolutely no clue how to review this. I'm all out of words.

I guess I should start with the story. In short, and without reciting the synopsis, this is book one in the series and centers around Barrett Landry, a somewhat playboy politician who has learned to get what he wants especially with his charm and a smile and then we have Alison Baker a single mom working two jobs and studying and who knows what it's like to have everything taken from her. Both really are at opposite ends of the scale in life right now but that doesn't stop them from being pulled towards each other even if it's the last thing either of them thought they wanted or needed.

'Every part of me is tangled up in this irresistibly handsome politician and I’m afraid there’s no way out. I’m really afraid I might not want a way out.'

From reading this book all I'm left thinking is HOW THE FU-- DOES ADRIANA DO IT??!
Here's the thing, the more books an author puts out and the more we read from them it's hard for similarities not to be there in each book, the similarities aren't even a bad thing, there's only so many ways you can portray a story or a character and yet, Adriana has a couple of books out and they're all different. Adriana has done the single mom book already and yet again this is absolutely NOTHING like the one before. Not the story, not the relationship(s), not the kid, not the dynamics. The writing and voices are nothing a like. I dunno I'm rambling lol! I'm just in awe of her talent, her writing and her delivery with each book.

Adriana has some of the best female characters and Alison is high on that list. I loved her. She's tough. Not in a loud way, she just is tough. She's been through a lot and came out the other end. She's so strong and doesn't realise it. She's scared at times yet so brave and selfless. And she loves so fiercely. She didn't make things easy for Barrett and not in a hard-to-get way, not in a way because she's trying to be a badass, just because she needed to be careful and take things slow and because she was always thinking of her son. Their love is something else and the way she took her time with Barrett was so natural and right.

Barrett, well damn. Not quite sure I was expecting him! He is sexy and smooth. What I loved most about him though is his character really went on a journey through this book. He learned a lot in many aspects of his life and he over came a lot. He's in a career where there are liars everywhere and he has to deal with sneaky people who all have their own agendas, he's trying to be honest and work towards being the governor, the best one he can be yet he has many people who have their opinions on how he should be doing things. And in the middle of it all, he's starting to fall hard and fast for someone when falling in love is the last thing he should be doing.

"So you'll be my girl? Even though you once told me I'm the exact person you didn't want to be with?"
"I thought you once told me you could spot a liar from a mile away."

And I can't not mention Huxley. That kid is adorable and so smart and strong. A protector. He's too cute for words and his character fit perfectly into this story.

This is a really sexy (grapes, people, GRAPES!!), funny and sweet book. It's actually quite an emotional (at times) story too. I teared up a couple of times because the emotion was something else, whether it was how honest Barrett and Alison were with each other, Alison and Huxley, Huxley and Barrett or sometimes just Alison and what she's been through. This book is an all around winner and I can't wait to get to know the other characters and see where Adriana brings them.

Sexy Politician

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2016

Verified Purchase

Adrianna Locke has delivered us another amazing book and a great start to a new series. Barrett Landry Mayor of Savannah and oldest of the Landry siblings is one hot sexy playboy, elections are upon him he must focus his mind clearly on the campaign but Alison Baker catches his eye at an event where he's trying to win supporters.

Alison Baker, mother, student and provider for her son Huxley knows all to well what the life of a public figure entails after all her ex husband was a high profile Judge so when Barrett Landry takes it upon himself to pursue her she's hesitant to say the least.

I don't want to give anything away so I'm going to leave it here and hope that you will go get your copy and enjoy this amazing book filled with laughs, love, deceit and so much more. I for one will never look at a Grape the same (wink wink) and cant wait to read the next in the series as the glimpses we got of these siblings leaves you wanting more.

This is book one of the Landry Family series and I loved it! It's completely different from what I have read from Adriana before and I was not disappointed at all. I don't normally like political stories but this one just got me right in the feels and I could not helping falling in love with Barrett. I think Alison and Barrett make the cutest couple and went through a lot to be able to finally get together. I do love me some drama but am always grateful for a HEA. I am looking forward to the rest of te series.
