Author: Adriana Locke

People say not to believe the things you read
in magazines, but you know what? Most things you’ve heard about me are probably
true.

I totally banged the reporter in the locker
room after the championship game last year.

Those pictures in Expose from last summer?
Those were not modified.

I’m also not really six-foot tall. (But let’s
keep that between us.)

Now, I know you’re wondering about that last
Expose headline—the one about me and my teammate (and ex-best friend) Finn
Miller’s sister, Layla James. That one is a little more complicated.

Here’s the thing: I’ve played football my
whole life. If there’s one thing I know, it’s how to adjust when the game
changes. And if there’s one thing I always do, it’s find a way to win.

Granted, the stakes are higher. The playbook
has changed. There’s more on the line than (another) MVP title. But guess what
hasn’t changed? Me. I’m still Branch “Lucky” Best and I’m not about to fumble
this one.

Grab a seat and a subscription to Expose. I’m
about to make some headlines. (Again.)

A sexy, swoon-filled standalone novel.

Excerpt

“One
question,” Poppy interjects, looking at Branch. “What position are you?”
“I
typically like the bottom so I can watch—oomph,” he says, getting another elbow
from Finn. “Wide receiver. Why?”
Looking at
Poppy, I can’t help but laugh as her eyes light up.
“You got a
problem with wide receivers?” Branch asks.
“You do,”
Finn interjects, giving me a narrowed glare. “They aren’t any better than
quarterbacks.”
Branch
looks from me, to Finn, and back to me. “Why do we not like quarterbacks?”
“My sister
was dating Callum Worthington.”
“No shit?”
His face puckers like he just bit into a lemon. “How in the hell did that
cocksucker end up with you?”
“He didn’t.
We’re not together anymore.”
Branch’s
eyes heat, the look causing my pulse to quicken. “I’m not a bit sorry to hear
that.”
“You better
forget you heard any of that,” Finn warns. “This is my sister, Branch. Not a
cheerleader or reporter or some chick from a dating app. Got it?”
“Finn,
relax,” I say, shoving a swallow past the lump in my throat. “I appreciate the
big brother spiel, but I can handle myself.”
“I know you
can,” he says, pulling his gaze away from Branch. “But you can’t handle him.”

Man, if there’s one thing I can guarantee Adriana Locke can do is give you some amazingly, swoonable male characters! Her men all need to go into the World of Book Boyfriends! They all just bring their A-game to the table and when they play, they play for keeps; they play for hearts… for forever. They totally will leave you weak in the knees!

Lucky Number Eleven was a super, quick read for me! I’m not a huge fan of sports romances but there was elements of young adult and the forbidden best friend’s sister romance… who can walk away from a forbidden romance? Not me, that’s for sure! I love the lead characters name… Branch Best… I mean, how cocky is he with a name like that?! He is cocky! But he’s also funny and sexy… and a big ol’ hoochieman! Layla’s brother, Finn, makes it even more tempting when he warns off his sister. Everyone wants what they can’t have, especially when they’ve been specifically warned off! It’s on now!

This book has some great lead and secondary characters… I just liked them all! They added interesting background stories to Layla’s and Branch’s romance. Adriana Locke’s writing continues to pull me into her worlds. She strikes a perfect balance between romance and fun, sexy and a bit of angst. Like most of Locke’s other books, this one is a home run!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
