Blurb:
Blaire Gibson knows better than to have one-night stands.
She prides herself on her decision-making skills. It’s the one asset that has never let her down. But even the best thinkers have weaknesses. Hers is a delicious business mogul with a quick tongue. Unfortunately for her, that tongue is good for more than just talking.
Holt Mason doesn’t need to justify anything to anyone.
He wants Blaire. He pursues Blaire. And he gets Blaire because that’s how his life works.
Until it doesn’t.
What begins as a single night in a hotel room spirals into an unusual agreement. As late nights provide the space to trade secrets and walls come tumbling down, more is shared than just pillow talk.
They both should’ve known better. They should’ve shown restraint. Because when guards are dropped, hearts get hurt.
*RESTRAINT is a brand-new standalone romance from USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke.

My Thoughts:
Holt turns an accident into an advantage. Blaire has a request that turns into something more. I loved how the author took the chance and had these characters speak in the first person. This was a great way to get to know them as they get to know each other. We also get to hear their thoughts and sometimes we might get a sense of vulnerability or even some frustration.
We get to see first-hand how they dance around each other and that as they open up, we get to see a little give and take. We’ll also get to hear their thoughts which sometimes you don’t get a sense of when a story is told in the third person. Theirs could be an incentive to get out and explore some place new. It was fun to go along with Blaire as she discovered things as well as found some interesting places to eat. Holt is there to help us get to know her as she starts to blossom in his presence. And he might not seem as prickly.
I really didn’t want this book to end. I was having a great time exploring a place that I had never been before and I wanted to see more of the place through the character’s eyes. But even though the author put a “The End” into this book, and since it’s the first book of a new series, I really don’t think I’m ready to see that three-letter word yet. There are some other characters that I want to know more about. The nice thing is that the author will help you find your way to their books so that’s a win-win. And if you want to learn something about the author and those that are a part of what she does, make sure to check out her Acknowledgments.
