I am voluntarily reviewing this book because I received an advanced readers copy.

This series from Adriana Locke was already one of my favorites. And "Switch" has only added to my intense love of this author and the series.

Our story starts with Graham Landry meeting his new assistant, Mallory Sims. Unfortunately, it's simultaneously attraction and annoyance for Graham. Mallory is late for her first day and while he's attracted to her, he also doesn't want to cross that line and Mallory could easily be described as Graham's total opposite.

Graham is a neat freak, Mallory is messy and chaotic. However, one of the biggest things I admired about Mallory is that while she may have been more prone to messiness, she was also truly amazing at her job as Graham's executive assistant. I appreciated that the author made Mallory busy, messy, beautiful, and intelligent. The more I read this story, the more I felt Mallory is really a little bit of all of us. She had things she was trying to work on. She knew what areas she lacked in. She didn't care about being in awe of the nicer things. She knew to be kind to others, while still sticking up for herself.

This book can be a standalone, but I can say that you will honestly enjoy this story more if you read "Sway" and "Swing" beforehand. One of the main reasons I feel this way is because we see Graham in those other books. His evolution in his own story was so much more impressive knowing him from the other stories. Another thing I enjoyed was seeing Barrett (Sway) and Lincoln (Swing) being the ones to school Graham on love.

I can't recommend this book enough. I enjoyed it immensely. Also, this series (and other books from the author) are on Kindle Unlimited so you can read all of these books with your subscription.

"There’s a kinky animal buried in those stuck-up suits of yours trying to claw its way out, isn’t there?

Mallory has got that right! I've read about Barrett and I've read about Lincoln but there was always something about Graham and his calm and collected demeanor that always pulled me to him. Maybe it was the curiosity, the need to see what was under the polished suits and attitude and Locke hit it out of the park with this story.

Graham Landry is the brother who has everything planned to the T and always looks out for his brothers. I mean, his contingency plans have contingencies! Behind his pressed suits and business persona, Graham has always been a mystery.

But what his perfectly scheduled life didn't account for was his new assistant Mallory Sims and how she was going to mess up his entire orchestrated life. Mallory is having the worst start to her day. One accident after another she didn't make an impression on Graham. Well not at the Executive Assistant level, anyway.

Mallory is the complete opposite to Graham. Where he is systematic, she is all over the place. Everything on Graham's desk has its place whereas everything on Mallory's desk is all over the place. Graham is a clean freak, Mallory creates a mess wherever she goes.

"I want to celebrate with my . . . girlfriend?”
“That’s so high school,” I laugh. Shaking his hand, he motions for me to take it.
“How do you plan on celebrating?” I ask, pressing my lips together. He wiggles his brows.
“I think we managed to do that,” I say, wiggling my eyebrows back at him, “out here last time, didn’t we?”
“Last time was different.”
“Why?” He grins.
“Last time you weren’t mine.” Swooning, I take his hand and let him lead me into the house.

The chemistry and attraction between Graham and Mallory were instant and their banter was equal parts witty and clever. These two were perfect together and gelled into each other's life perfectly. Mallory provided Graham with a security for him to be himself around someone else other than his family and Graham provided Mallory with a steadiness, order, and faith in herself and in her life that she so desperately needed.

Is there drama in the book? Yes. But it slightly permeated the story rather than overpower it with unnecessary drama. Otherwise, the whole book has a lightness to it that is one of the characteristics of the Landry family that I absolutely adore!

Also, how can I end this review without mentioning my absolute favorite scene from the whole book? There was this particular moment, where we get to read about Graham's back story and the reason behind his anal retentive ways and at that moment I wished so hard for Graham to be real because I wanted to just squish him and give him a big cuddly bear hug. It wasn't because the situation was really bad and huge but because he was so vulnerable at that time and there is something about seeing grown men who are always put together, removing the mask they put for the world to see and letting go and just being themselves and feel all the hurt and pain that they normally hide from everyone.

I can never get enough of the Landry boys but an alpha, dirty talking CEO who is vulnerable has my heart.

First came grapes.
Then came ice cubes.
Now comes the syrup... *wags eyebrows* Read the story to find out what I mean ;-)

With every Landry boy that Adriana Locke writes for us, I fall in love all over again. I adore Barrett, I worship Lincoln, I’m intrigued by Ford, but Graham? I was a little hesitant about Graham. I was a little concerned that the man in the suit wouldn’t be as charming and sexy as the rest of the boys…I’m glad to say that I was SO very wrong!

Graham Landry is the reliable Landry brother, the one that runs Landry Holdings. He is the one making sure his entire family is very well taken care of. Failing is not an option when it comes to Landry Holdings and his family. Graham is powerful, controlled and just has a presence that will make you take notice of him, and he rocks a suit like no one else. But the wall he has built is about to coming crashing down when Mallory falls into his arms.

Mallory is a complete badass chick. She’s an extremely hard worker and takes no crap from anyone. She made the decision to live her life for herself and is working it like a Rockstar. Mallory also sees how hard Graham is on himself and does her best to alleviate some of the stress he's under which is something he cannot ignore for long. The two of them work together flawlessly except for that little thing called attraction.

The interaction between Graham and Mallory was incredible. From the moment they met, Mallory really held her own against Graham which took a lot of balls! Graham started slipping from his structured life the moment he took one look at her. The two of them had the best banter I have read between a couple. It was hot, full of angst at times, and yet so very emotional. And who knew that Graham was such a dirty talker ;)

I loved seeing Graham react to falling in love and how he changed as a person. I appreciated how he completely came undone and changed, to the best of his ability, for the woman he loved.

If you have read the other books in the series (and if you haven’t, you NEED to), you know that each Landry boy has their own steamy sex scene with something that you usually find in the kitchen. Let me just tell you, Graham does NOT disappoint.

One of the things I absolutely adored was getting to see what the rest of the Landry Family was up too. It was so great to get a glimpse into what the family was up to and they all play a pivotal part in this book. I don’t want to say to much about it, but there is a part we who have read the other books have all been waiting for and it was all so very beautiful and had me in tears. Even though it’s just a story, this family is one where you just want to belong.

“Do something your soul tells you.

Gah! How can one book mean so much? Because seriously? Adriana Locke's Switch is now my new favorite book of her's to date. Yeah, I said that with her every release but holy wow this book is just so different. There's no denying I have now my new Landry book boyfriend. Yes! Move over Lincoln because you're just replaced by Graham. In as much as I don't want to, I can't help it. He's a man, every womam desires and longed to have. And I guess it's his kinky animal buried in those stuck-up suits, trying to make it's way out that had me. ;) 
You think he's this serious and orgamized Landry? Nah, think better. I can't blame when Mallory was so in lust with her, one picture and she just made a decision only a woman with lusty vision can...
.” And once I saw your picture, I had to do what any reasonable female would do: find my prettiest panties and matching bra.

Ooops! You think you could only love Graham? No way! Mal will top it! She's this heroine you'll beg to want. She's a woman who knows what she wants and acts on it. No drama, no unecessasry OTT over thinking on the consequences. I love her HARD and to be honest, she's also my favorite Addy's heroine. No qualms, just a woman with a strong personality and straight to the point. And I don't even think she knows what panties is at all. Now you get the idea huh? Her and Graham, are just perfectly matched together and I could not ask for more better characters than them. They have a strong chemistry coupled with thick sexual tension you can't slice it with a knife and scorhing scenes you needed a cold shower. I have all the feels with them. It's not just swoony and lusty feels but ALL the feels. Butterflies? Check. Heart wrenching? Check. Tear jerker moments?Check. Turned on? Check. Unexplainable emotions? Check. In love? A BIG FAT CHECK.

YASSS! The book had it all. When I started reading it, I hardly put down. The words tends to gravitate me. I devoured it because there's no other way to do it. I was in awe on how Addy keeps getting better and better. Her writing skills is excellent. She always topped her previous releases, And with Graham and Mallory? Holy Guacamole, she nailed it! The emotions you get from the book is just so REAL. And as always, with Addy's book, every release is unique, every delivery is on point and with all the smiles plastered on my face, there's tears streaming down my face because of bliss.Because Graham and Mallory's book? It's not just about fun, it's not just about the lust, it's not even about how many times I laugh my heart out and chuckled while reading. It's more than even their past experiences that mold them, and made them who they are, it's more tha crumbling somebody's wall so you can get it. It's about their growth, finding the missing piece of a puzzle, finding love, fighting for it and comprimising. 
“It works like this: we take each for what we are. We know each other well enough to know our weaknesses and annoying behaviors.”

And Grahams right, 
"You know it’s the right relationship when it’s not always easy.

Because with them? It was never easy, but you get to learn what's important to the other person and make that a priority.You may get it, you may not. What's important is you learn from it.

To Adriana Locke! You never cease to amaze me. Now I can't wait what you're in store for us with Ford's story.

Ah, Graham. The man was all anal retentive in the first two novels, but it was always clear how much he loved his family and how he was protective he was of them. I wanted to know what was lurking beneath those pressed suits of his and we finally get our answer with Switch, the third novel in author Adriana Locke's ongoing Landry Family series. Second son and second eldest sibling Graham is a naughty boy indeed and all it took was the introduction of someone like Mallory in his life. I loved watching the man unravel as he tried to make sense of the tornado-like effect Mallory had on him, with everything getting swirled around and he unsure of whether to hold tight and remain stuck or simply let go and see where he and his heart land. I liked that they were opposites and I found Mallory to be such a breath of fresh air because she wasn't annoying. I know that sounds weird but I've come across way too many female main characters who were too much of whatever they were supposed to be. Mallory was carefree but not careless, whimsical but not wacky, and she so owned her sexiness without being totally slutty.

Can I just say that I'm loving the Landrys? They're like the ideal family, not because they're perfect but because they're acknowledge that they aren't and love and accept each member while offering to be supportive in any way, shape, or form. We're three siblings in, and because this series is entitled Landry Family and not the Landry Brothers--as quite a few family-type series are wont to do even though there are sisters in the mix, coming off as an afterthought at times--I'm a little apprehensive because that means we're already halfway through the series! Gah! I'm definitely looking forward to Ford's story, which is up next, especially because it's looking like a second chance love story based on the clues I picked up on here. Of course, I could be totally off-base. Then there are the twins, who obviously have their respective caches of secrets that they're keeping from their parents, brothers, and each other. With Graham and Mallory's story checking everything off my list and leaving me with a silly smile on my face, the bar continues to be raised. Fingers crossed Adriana Locke brings it in Swear. Five-plus stars for Switch. ♥

OMG...These Landry men just keep getting hotter and hotter!!!
Is there anything Adriana can not write?
Her writing captivates me and provides me with endless hours of enjoyment. Once again I have fallen in love with another of her leading men.
Graham Landry story was one I couldn't wait to read, having been given snippets of the man in the first 2 books of the series I was intrigued and SWITCH did not disappoint.

Graham is CEO of Landry Holdings, He is a force to be reckoned with. This man had it all suave, sophisticated, domineering and controlled. He was the heart of the family, providing for them all and he would not except anything but the best for him and his family. Grahams lives his life with a plan and woman are not an option...that was until Mallory stumbles into his office and steals his breath.

Mallory needed a job and when her friend mentioned about her Brother needing a new assistant it couldn't have come at a better time. She knew the family years ago but she has recently moved back to town and she wasn't expecting Graham to be so...HOT! Turning up late on the first day of the job isnt the best start, however if she hadnt googled her new boss she wouldn't have been so flustered.

These two have an instant attraction but they work together and anything other than a bit of flirting could end up complicated.

Mallory becomes the calm to Grahams storm, but she is no walk over...She stands her ground and gives as good as she get. Her sassy attitude and smart mouth just make Graham;s want/need for her stronger.

Soon this couple find themselves crossing the line and when they come together they set fire to the pages.

But with Graham's need for power and control and Mallory providing him with a distraction and a relationship he never thought possible will this couple get their happy ever after of will Mallory push to hard and loose Graham before they ever really start???

I knew Adriana Locke had something good going when I read the first book in this series. I love the Landry family. All the siblings are their own person with their unique traits. But Graham with his studiousness has always intrigued me. I really enjoyed getting to know him better in Switch and not just because he can rock a suit. He's the serious one, the "brains" behind the whole operation. The one who holds everything together for everyone.

But he needs help- the plans he has for his plans are falling apart at work and he needs an assistant- stat. Enter Mallory Sims, the smoking hot friend of his sisters. I LOVED her. She was brave, sassy and incredibly intelligent. She was starting over, on her own terms after one too many people had beaten her spirit down. This time, she's not holding back and going after what she wants. And what she wants is her sexy, dirty talking new boss, Graham.

When these two finally gave into their undeniable chemistry, they steamed it up all over the place! WHEW HOT!! The banter between Mallory and Graham is what really kept me reading though. It was light, flirty, playful and full of innuendo. My stars. I loved seeing the change in him How he opened up, freely to Mallory. No one can resist her kindness or charm. But it was the way he poured himself dry to make amends for his epic screw up with Mallory showed just how far he had come since she blew her way into his life and messed everything up. And changed him. For the better.

I can't say too much more without giving up all the goods but I can say this READ IT! With Switch, Adriana Locke gave me everything I love in a book. I laughed, I swooned, I fanned myself and I felt the love. I can't leave out how much seeing the rest of the family warmed my heart. Catching up with Barrett and Lincoln is enough to put a smile on anyone's face. Don't even get me started on Ford- that man is going to be something else. I want to be a part of the Landry family (a cousin would be just fine with me). Gah! I absolutely can not wait for the next installment of this series.

Reviewing on behalf of Relentless Book Chics Ramblings and Reviews

This book is full of feels, Graham is now my favourite Landry brother!

Since being introduced to the character Graham in book 1, I’ve always wondered what went on in the life of the most sensible and serious Landry sibling so I couldn’t wait to read it.

The book starts with Graham reluctantly replacing his personal assistant with someone recommended by his sister but as he’s desperate to bring some organisation back into his life, he employs her without an interview so he’s never met her.

Organisation and punctuality are essential elements for Graham’s life so when the clock strikes 8am and there’s still no sign of Mallory, he’s already terminated her employment in his head before she even starts.

Mallory Sims life is disorganised chaos and she’s having a really bad day which is typical as it’s her first day at her new job working for Graham Landry. Arriving late, one disaster leads to another when she literally fall at his feet and that’s where her problems truly begin, he looks nothing like she remembered and grown up Graham the CEO is hot.

Graham always keeps his focus on work and his family but the arrival of Mallory is creating so much anxiety that he’s completely distracted and confused. The situation is made worse when his brothers drop in and interfere by giving him their well meaning advice.

As the working relationship between Graham and Mallory develops, it becomes clear that there’s more to them than just boss and employee. They both try to work through their feelings but with the relationship histories they both have, the chances are beginning to look slim that their future will involve each other.

I loved Graham and Mallory and they are a perfect example of how opposites attract and how it’s possible to make changes if you’ve found the right person. I highly recommend this book and all other books in the Landry series.

ARC gifted in exchange for an honest review.

My 2017 started in a mighty, mighty book slump and this book pulled me out of the hole. Drug me over the ledge and threw me up on this mountain of books. Made me happy to read again. Made me so glad that I could enjoy something so wonderful as this book.

Mallory Sims is this character that you immediately love. She's endearing, smart, funny and has a huge heart. She's recently left her boyfriend of several years. He treated her like crap, verbally abused her and yet she still stands strong. She's still this heroine that I adored because she was tough but wasn't jaded. Her new situation leads her back home and to this new job that happens to be with the brother of her friend.

Graham Landry doesn't believe in love. At. All. He controls every aspect of his life. Everything he does is calculated, measured and done to perfection. He doesn't mess up. He doesn't want the mess of a relationship. He just wants to be the absolute best and running the family business and taking care of his family. He is everyone's rock. When Mallory Sims shows up in his office to be his new secretary, his life becomes messy. He's not at all sure what to do about it but can't stay away.

These two circle around each other and then explode into this semi-relationship that is made complicated by their pasts but through it all, Mallory becomes the rock for Graham and he's not sure how to react to this at all. They have ups and downs and through it all, they make it work. It's a beautiful love story between two people that have to over come mountains to get through their defenses and the result is perfect.

There are plenty of visits from the other Landry siblings in this book and I enjoyed those as well. These kind of series are always a favorite of mine but Adriana Locke does a great job of making her characters multi dimensional and creating these complex stories that leave me happy and so glad I read the book.

There is just something about these Landry boys and I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into Graham Landry. He didn't disappoint at all. Over the last two books of the series, we have noticed that Graham seems to be the natural born leader of the family. The most dependable of the lot and also the most conservative. He doesn't seem to have any personal relationships outside of his family and work seems to be his life.

In walks our girl, Mallory and Graham is quickly falling all over himself. Mallory wants to stand on her own two feet after a past relationship that left her a bit unsure of herself and questioning all of her life decisions. She takes a job as Graham's assistant and after their first meeting, you knew these two were going to be pulled together. Graham is a routine driven guy and Mallory throws a major kink in his cogs. It is hilarious to see it play out between them. Watching a man that is usually so in control, fall all over himself is a nice change. Graham can't stay away from Mallory and Mallory is afraid of being burned again. She needs to control her own life but with Graham around she seems to be losing control again.

The truly best part of this story is how much these two seem to understand each other. Mallory quickly realizes that Graham needs to do more things for himself and really spend some time just being relaxed and carefree. Graham realizes that Mallory needs to be independent and doesn't crowd her. He gives her space but also supports her ambitions and dreams. Graham is everything that Mallory didn't have in the past. Mallory is everything that Graham wants in a partner not only in business but in life.

Adriana Locke nailed this story and she makes me fall deeper in love with the Landry Family. I can't wait to see what is in store for Ford and his sisters. This is a series I don't want to end.

Switch had me Switching my favorite Landry multiple times, with these boys it’s like picking the petals off a flower daydreaming. “I love him, no I love him more, I love him, NO I love HIM More”. Then you realize the choice is just too tough to pick, so you keep them ALL for yourself! Switch is the third book in the Landry Family Series which is all about Graham but when the other boys enter the story I can’t help but swoon and switch gears here and there. I seriously cannot get enough of this family!

This sweet, sexy, office romance was just what I needed. Now if you’ve met the other Landry brothers you know this family has some seriously good genes flowing everywhere. Each brother is so different from the other and in Switch we really got to see them all together because everyone is at home and it was such a treat to have everyone together, even the girls!

Graham and Mallory’s story is nothing short of amazing. I honestly have a mini girl crush on Mallory. She is sweet, funny, charming, loyal and such a little vixen. You can’t help but love this girl. I love her drive and determination and I really love her with Graham. She is just what he needs to get this workaholic to loosen his tie and maybe kick back a bit.

Working at the Landry Holdings office seems to prove difficult not only for Mal because of her instant attraction to Graham, but also for Graham because this man who has a contingency for the contingency plan doesn’t have a plan for Mallory. He has no road map, no back up emergency kit to deal with this beautiful woman who now has taken over his thoughts. Graham is sweet, sexy, funny, dirty talking and underneath all that business is a whole lot to love! I absolutely loved watching the magic unfold between these two unfold in this beautiful story!

As always I can’t wait for the next Locke hit. Bring on FORD!

One word: sexy
No, wait. Two words: sexy and swoony
Nope. Three words: sexy, swoony, and smiles.

Graham and Mallory were so sexy to together, burning up the pages with their office sexcapades. I loved that Mallory was sort of sexually aggressive and pantyless in her pursuit of Graham. Her confidence and go-get-em approach was fun to read. It was about time someone gave him a run for his money.

Graham was swoony in his broody, nerdy, sexiness. Even when he wasn't saying and doing the things I wanted, he was always sincere, and loved that about him.

And the smiles. I loved the way they loved to make each other smile. It hit me right in the feels, and I found myself smiling along with them.

I'm not sure if I can say Graham is my favorite Landry brother (Let's be honest, they are way too hard to choose from.), but I can say he stole my heart, as did Mallory. I was hooked from the first page, and if not for Lunesta (bookblocker), I would've finished the book in one sitting. However, I did finish it in two, which may be the first time that's happened this year (real life has been bookblocking me, too). That right there is a testament to how intriguing these characters were. How gripped and hopeful I was reading their story. How this author can mix feels and sex in a way that has your heart pumping as you devour her words, hungry for more, never wanting it to end.

Well-written, full of emotion, and never lacking in steaminess, this book is a must-read. I am completely hooked on this series, wanting all the books, all the words, all the everything right now. I'm actually kind of sad there are only three more siblings to go because I don't foresee myself ever being tired of reading about this family.

**I received an ARC of this book from the author.**

I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book and was glad that I did. I have read a couple of books by Adrina before but this one blew me away. I have not read any of the other ones in this series and after reading this one I so want too. This one is about Graham one of the brothers in the Landry family. He is the one that runs the business and takes care of almost everything regarding the family business. He is an alpha male,things with him have to be perfect and done correctly. Things have to be in order with work and life. But at the same time he doesnt have a life because of work. He is in need of a secretary / administrative assistant to help him run his every day work life. His sister recommends a friend of hers who they actually went to school with long ago. He doesnt even do an interview he just hires her.
The first day for Mallory his new secretary is off to a rough start, she ends up being late which for him is not ok at all. He expects people to be like him on time ready to work. But as soon as he sees her all of that goes out the freaking window. He wants her but knows that working together he cant have her. There is instant sparks and that is something I love about this storyline. These two are polar opposites but there is instant chemistry between them and it is hot. You can just tell.
They work great together and get along well with each other. But things get in the way that you would think they may not be able to overcome. Can Mallory help her boss loosen up and see there is life and love beyond the office? I enjoyed reading this book. It was well written with amazing character chemistry. I love the banter between the brothers and cannot wait to read their stories. I highly recommend this book it is far more than just an office romance.

Those sexy southern Landry men are back and more irresistible than ever! Graham has always wanted to be the CEO of Landry Holdings and make sure his family is taken care of. He is happy wearing his suits, and carefully organizing his life. He is so busy taking care of everyone else, that he doesn't take time for himself. That is until his new assistant, Mallory Sims, falls into his arms. Mallory is beautiful, smart, and a bit messy, which drives him crazy. She is the total opposite to Graham, and he can't get her off of his mind. She challenges his structure and order. He doesn't have a plan for her sexy intelligence, lavender scent, and melodic voice. He breaks all his rules and does things he normally doesn't do just to spend more time with her. Mallory had spent her life doing what was expected of her. After a bad breakup, she is determined to do things because she wants to, with no regrets, and sexy, dominant, Graham is a risk she definitely wants to take. Their attraction is instant and explosive and they can't get enough of each other. But Graham has been burned before and can't afford to allow anyone in again. But does he have the strength to hold fun, free spirited Mallory at arms length or will his carefully constructed world shatter around him? I love Graham and Mallory so much! They were fun, honest, and caring making them perfect for each other along with their smoking hot chemistry. The whole Landry family is essential to the story. Their fun sibling banter and unconditional support made this story even more fun and heartwarming. Ford played a large part in this book and I can't wait for his story! I loved this third book in the Landry Family series. If you enjoy reading fun, sexy, and heartfelt romance, then you will definitely love this book!

This is the third book in the Landry series but only the second I have read. I have to say I loved it so much more than Swing. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed Swing but Graham and Mallory made me love this book so much.

Graham is the most serious of the Landry siblings, he is uptight, a perfectionist and totally anal retentive. He needs a new administrative assistant immediately and when Sienna suggests Mallory he hires her without even meeting her.

Mallory has moved home for a new start, she left her past behind and is trying g to take control of her own life again. Working for the Landry’s wasn’t supposed to be this hard though, her attraction to Graham makes things so much harder.

This book was great, I loved both characters so much and the story flowed flawlessly in my opinion. Graham while being uptight and boring at times won me over in the previous book and I just fell more in love with him in his own book. Graham was a smart, assertive, and sexy CEO with a hot dirty mouth who could melt the panties of any woman.

Mallory went from being a wallflower to being a sassy, independent woman who was able to make her own decisions and follow her heart. She stuck up for what and who she believed in and didn’t let anyone treat her poorly, that is one of the many things I liked about her character.

The Landry’s are this close knit family that makes you want to be part of it. They pull you into the fold and make you envious of their relationships with each other.

I can not wait to see what Adriana has in store for us next with Ford’s story, I know he is going to be another great character.

katherine leppek
Uptight CEOs finding love is kind of the cliche of the romance genre, but it's one we all seem to fall in love with time and again.

Graham Landry keeps the Landry brand together, running businesses and being the face of their brand. He doesn't have time for love, and he doesn't understand why anyone would sacrifice their time when other things need to be done.

Mallory Sims is a hot mess. Her intelligence shines through, but she can definitely be described as a bit of a slob -- who has time for cleaning when there are a million other things on your plate?

Adriana Locke has done such a great job pulling the Landry world together. I loved Graham - his presence is more than you expect from the snippets you get from him in Swing and Switch. He still has that strength that you see in the other books in the series, but we get more depth and development here that really gives an interest to the reason he is the backbone for the Landry's. But, he is a Landry, so you get to see a bit of humor and sibling rivalry that we've come to expect from the Landry Family series.

Writing reviews on heroines are difficult because we put so much expectation on her to be perfect - probably the same expectations we place on ourselves. Mallory didn't make me roll my eyes. In fact, I was captivated by her at points because she is so REAL. She has her faults, as we all do, but she is also not afraid to back down. She is learning who she is, and it's fun to watch her growth throughout the story.

Overall, I really loved Mallory and Graham's story. Their dynamic was fun and thoughtful, and of course the Landry family appearances within the text are hysterical. 5* for Switch.

Ah, Graham. The man was all anal retentive in the first two novels, but it was always clear how much he loved his family and how he was protective he was of them. I wanted to know what was lurking beneath those pressed suits of his and we finally get our answer with Switch, the third novel in author Adriana Locke's ongoing Landry Family series. Second son and second eldest sibling Graham is a naughty boy indeed and all it took was the introduction of someone like Mallory in his life. I loved watching the man unravel as he tried to make sense of the tornado-like effect Mallory had on him, with everything getting swirled around and he unsure of whether to hold tight and remain stuck or simply let go and see where he and his heart land. I liked that they were opposites and I found Mallory to be such a breath of fresh air because she wasn't annoying. I know that sounds weird but I've come across way too many female main characters who were too much of whatever they were supposed to be. Mallory was carefree but not careless, whimsical but not wacky, and she so owned her sexiness without being totally slutty.

Can I just say that I'm loving the Landrys? They're like the ideal family, not because they're perfect but because they're acknowledge that they aren't and love and accept each member while offering to be supportive in any way, shape, or form. We're three siblings in, and because this series is entitled Landry Family and not the Landry Brothers--as quite a few family-type series are wont to do even though there are sisters in the mix, coming off as an afterthought at times--I'm a little apprehensive because that means we're already halfway through the series! Gah! I'm definitely looking forward to Ford's story, which is up next, especially because it's looking like a second chance love story based on the clues I picked up on here. Of course, I could be totally off-base. Then there are the twins, who obviously have their respective caches of secrets that they're keeping from their parents, brothers, and each other. With Graham and Mallory's story checking everything off my list and leaving me with a silly smile on my face, the bar continues to be raised. Fingers crossed Adriana Locke brings it in Swear. Five-plus stars for Switch. ♥

OMG...These Landry men just keep getting hotter and hotter!!!
Is there anything Adriana can not write?
Her writing captivates me and provides me with endless hours of enjoyment. Once again I have fallen in love with another of her leading men.
Graham Landry story was one I couldn't wait to read, having been given snippets of the man in the first 2 books of the series I was intrigued and SWITCH did not disappoint.

Graham is CEO of Landry Holdings, He is a force to be reckoned with. This man had it all suave, sophisticated, domineering and controlled. He was the heart of the family, providing for them all and he would not except anything but the best for him and his family. Grahams lives his life with a plan and woman are not an option...that was until Mallory stumbles into his office and steals his breath.

Mallory needed a job and when her friend mentioned about her Brother needing a new assistant it couldn't have come at a better time. She knew the family years ago but she has recently moved back to town and she wasn't expecting Graham to be so...HOT! Turning up late on the first day of the job isnt the best start, however if she hadnt googled her new boss she wouldn't have been so flustered.

These two have an instant attraction but they work together and anything other than a bit of flirting could end up complicated.

Mallory becomes the calm to Grahams storm, but she is no walk over...She stands her ground and gives as good as she get. Her sassy attitude and smart mouth just make Graham;s want/need for her stronger.

Soon this couple find themselves crossing the line and when they come together they set fire to the pages.

But with Graham's need for power and control and Mallory providing him with a distraction and a relationship he never thought possible will this couple get their happy ever after of will Mallory push to hard and loose Graham before they ever really start???

I knew Adriana Locke had something good going when I read the first book in this series. I love the Landry family. All the siblings are their own person with their unique traits. But Graham with his studiousness has always intrigued me. I really enjoyed getting to know him better in Switch and not just because he can rock a suit. He's the serious one, the "brains" behind the whole operation. The one who holds everything together for everyone.

But he needs help- the plans he has for his plans are falling apart at work and he needs an assistant- stat. Enter Mallory Sims, the smoking hot friend of his sisters. I LOVED her. She was brave, sassy and incredibly intelligent. She was starting over, on her own terms after one too many people had beaten her spirit down. This time, she's not holding back and going after what she wants. And what she wants is her sexy, dirty talking new boss, Graham.

When these two finally gave into their undeniable chemistry, they steamed it up all over the place! WHEW HOT!! The banter between Mallory and Graham is what really kept me reading though. It was light, flirty, playful and full of innuendo. My stars. I loved seeing the change in him How he opened up, freely to Mallory. No one can resist her kindness or charm. But it was the way he poured himself dry to make amends for his epic screw up with Mallory showed just how far he had come since she blew her way into his life and messed everything up. And changed him. For the better.

I can't say too much more without giving up all the goods but I can say this READ IT! With Switch, Adriana Locke gave me everything I love in a book. I laughed, I swooned, I fanned myself and I felt the love. I can't leave out how much seeing the rest of the family warmed my heart. Catching up with Barrett and Lincoln is enough to put a smile on anyone's face. Don't even get me started on Ford- that man is going to be something else. I want to be a part of the Landry family (a cousin would be just fine with me). Gah! I absolutely can not wait for the next installment of this series.

Switch is the third book in the Landry Family series. Graham has been my favorite from the beginning of the series and he did not disappoint. He's the serious one, who is in charge of the Landry business and he's always protecting his family. He's always impeccably dressed in a custom fit suit with the perfect knot in his tie. He doesn’t have time for distractions especially sexy ones who show up late for work and smell like syrup and bacon. Even if she is incredibly beautiful and smart. Mallory is looking for a new start and this new job is her first chance. Until she sees Graham again. He wasn't this gorgeous in high school. How is she going to concentrate on work while he's this close to her? Graham can't stop thinking about Mallory. She's unlike any woman he's ever known before. He's not going to be able to keep his hands off her. Or his lips. Or his body. Office romance be damned. Graham realizes he wants more than just Mallory's body. He wants to get to know her mind and her soul too. But he's been down the love road before and it didn't end well. Can Graham get over his past before he loses the best thing that's ever happened to him? Will Mallory give him a chance to prove himself? I loved this story! Graham is so sexy, sweet, dirty and funny. I loved getting to see him loosen up. I also love the Landry family dynamic. They are so damn hilarious and they care so much about each other! It was great to see them all again and I can't wait for Ford's story!

I'm aware I'm an addict and I measure my drugs in Grahams.

"The higher you get, the more lovely I think you are."
"That's very nice of you to say."
"I only speak the truth."

"Besides seeing you naked and being on the receiving end of your smile, my favorite thing about you is how smart you are and how passionate you are about the things that matter to you."

Reviewing on behalf of Relentless Book Chics Ramblings and Reviews

This book is full of feels, Graham is now my favourite Landry brother!

Since being introduced to the character Graham in book 1, I’ve always wondered what went on in the life of the most sensible and serious Landry sibling so I couldn’t wait to read it.

The book starts with Graham reluctantly replacing his personal assistant with someone recommended by his sister but as he’s desperate to bring some organisation back into his life, he employs her without an interview so he’s never met her.

Organisation and punctuality are essential elements for Graham’s life so when the clock strikes 8am and there’s still no sign of Mallory, he’s already terminated her employment in his head before she even starts.

Mallory Sims life is disorganised chaos and she’s having a really bad day which is typical as it’s her first day at her new job working for Graham Landry. Arriving late, one disaster leads to another when she literally fall at his feet and that’s where her problems truly begin, he looks nothing like she remembered and grown up Graham the CEO is hot.

Graham always keeps his focus on work and his family but the arrival of Mallory is creating so much anxiety that he’s completely distracted and confused. The situation is made worse when his brothers drop in and interfere by giving him their well meaning advice.

As the working relationship between Graham and Mallory develops, it becomes clear that there’s more to them than just boss and employee. They both try to work through their feelings but with the relationship histories they both have, the chances are beginning to look slim that their future will involve each other.

I loved Graham and Mallory and they are a perfect example of how opposites attract and how it’s possible to make changes if you’ve found the right person. I highly recommend this book and all other books in the Landry series.

ARC gifted in exchange for an honest review.

My 2017 started in a mighty, mighty book slump and this book pulled me out of the hole. Drug me over the ledge and threw me up on this mountain of books. Made me happy to read again. Made me so glad that I could enjoy something so wonderful as this book.

Mallory Sims is this character that you immediately love. She's endearing, smart, funny and has a huge heart. She's recently left her boyfriend of several years. He treated her like crap, verbally abused her and yet she still stands strong. She's still this heroine that I adored because she was tough but wasn't jaded. Her new situation leads her back home and to this new job that happens to be with the brother of her friend.

Graham Landry doesn't believe in love. At. All. He controls every aspect of his life. Everything he does is calculated, measured and done to perfection. He doesn't mess up. He doesn't want the mess of a relationship. He just wants to be the absolute best and running the family business and taking care of his family. He is everyone's rock. When Mallory Sims shows up in his office to be his new secretary, his life becomes messy. He's not at all sure what to do about it but can't stay away.

These two circle around each other and then explode into this semi-relationship that is made complicated by their pasts but through it all, Mallory becomes the rock for Graham and he's not sure how to react to this at all. They have ups and downs and through it all, they make it work. It's a beautiful love story between two people that have to over come mountains to get through their defenses and the result is perfect.

There are plenty of visits from the other Landry siblings in this book and I enjoyed those as well. These kind of series are always a favorite of mine but Adriana Locke does a great job of making her characters multi dimensional and creating these complex stories that leave me happy and so glad I read the book.

There is just something about these Landry boys and I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into Graham Landry. He didn't disappoint at all. Over the last two books of the series, we have noticed that Graham seems to be the natural born leader of the family. The most dependable of the lot and also the most conservative. He doesn't seem to have any personal relationships outside of his family and work seems to be his life.

In walks our girl, Mallory and Graham is quickly falling all over himself. Mallory wants to stand on her own two feet after a past relationship that left her a bit unsure of herself and questioning all of her life decisions. She takes a job as Graham's assistant and after their first meeting, you knew these two were going to be pulled together. Graham is a routine driven guy and Mallory throws a major kink in his cogs. It is hilarious to see it play out between them. Watching a man that is usually so in control, fall all over himself is a nice change. Graham can't stay away from Mallory and Mallory is afraid of being burned again. She needs to control her own life but with Graham around she seems to be losing control again.

The truly best part of this story is how much these two seem to understand each other. Mallory quickly realizes that Graham needs to do more things for himself and really spend some time just being relaxed and carefree. Graham realizes that Mallory needs to be independent and doesn't crowd her. He gives her space but also supports her ambitions and dreams. Graham is everything that Mallory didn't have in the past. Mallory is everything that Graham wants in a partner not only in business but in life.

Adriana Locke nailed this story and she makes me fall deeper in love with the Landry Family. I can't wait to see what is in store for Ford and his sisters. This is a series I don't want to end.

Switch had me Switching my favorite Landry multiple times, with these boys it’s like picking the petals off a flower daydreaming. “I love him, no I love him more, I love him, NO I love HIM More”. Then you realize the choice is just too tough to pick, so you keep them ALL for yourself! Switch is the third book in the Landry Family Series which is all about Graham but when the other boys enter the story I can’t help but swoon and switch gears here and there. I seriously cannot get enough of this family!

This sweet, sexy, office romance was just what I needed. Now if you’ve met the other Landry brothers you know this family has some seriously good genes flowing everywhere. Each brother is so different from the other and in Switch we really got to see them all together because everyone is at home and it was such a treat to have everyone together, even the girls!

Graham and Mallory’s story is nothing short of amazing. I honestly have a mini girl crush on Mallory. She is sweet, funny, charming, loyal and such a little vixen. You can’t help but love this girl. I love her drive and determination and I really love her with Graham. She is just what he needs to get this workaholic to loosen his tie and maybe kick back a bit.

Working at the Landry Holdings office seems to prove difficult not only for Mal because of her instant attraction to Graham, but also for Graham because this man who has a contingency for the contingency plan doesn’t have a plan for Mallory. He has no road map, no back up emergency kit to deal with this beautiful woman who now has taken over his thoughts. Graham is sweet, sexy, funny, dirty talking and underneath all that business is a whole lot to love! I absolutely loved watching the magic unfold between these two unfold in this beautiful story!

As always I can’t wait for the next Locke hit. Bring on FORD!

One word: sexy
No, wait. Two words: sexy and swoony
Nope. Three words: sexy, swoony, and smiles.

Graham and Mallory were so sexy to together, burning up the pages with their office sexcapades. I loved that Mallory was sort of sexually aggressive and pantyless in her pursuit of Graham. Her confidence and go-get-em approach was fun to read. It was about time someone gave him a run for his money.

Graham was swoony in his broody, nerdy, sexiness. Even when he wasn't saying and doing the things I wanted, he was always sincere, and loved that about him.

And the smiles. I loved the way they loved to make each other smile. It hit me right in the feels, and I found myself smiling along with them.

I'm not sure if I can say Graham is my favorite Landry brother (Let's be honest, they are way too hard to choose from.), but I can say he stole my heart, as did Mallory. I was hooked from the first page, and if not for Lunesta (bookblocker), I would've finished the book in one sitting. However, I did finish it in two, which may be the first time that's happened this year (real life has been bookblocking me, too). That right there is a testament to how intriguing these characters were. How gripped and hopeful I was reading their story. How this author can mix feels and sex in a way that has your heart pumping as you devour her words, hungry for more, never wanting it to end.

Well-written, full of emotion, and never lacking in steaminess, this book is a must-read. I am completely hooked on this series, wanting all the books, all the words, all the everything right now. I'm actually kind of sad there are only three more siblings to go because I don't foresee myself ever being tired of reading about this family.

**I received an ARC of this book from the author.**

I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book and was glad that I did. I have read a couple of books by Adrina before but this one blew me away. I have not read any of the other ones in this series and after reading this one I so want too. This one is about Graham one of the brothers in the Landry family. He is the one that runs the business and takes care of almost everything regarding the family business. He is an alpha male,things with him have to be perfect and done correctly. Things have to be in order with work and life. But at the same time he doesnt have a life because of work. He is in need of a secretary / administrative assistant to help him run his every day work life. His sister recommends a friend of hers who they actually went to school with long ago. He doesnt even do an interview he just hires her.
The first day for Mallory his new secretary is off to a rough start, she ends up being late which for him is not ok at all. He expects people to be like him on time ready to work. But as soon as he sees her all of that goes out the freaking window. He wants her but knows that working together he cant have her. There is instant sparks and that is something I love about this storyline. These two are polar opposites but there is instant chemistry between them and it is hot. You can just tell.
They work great together and get along well with each other. But things get in the way that you would think they may not be able to overcome. Can Mallory help her boss loosen up and see there is life and love beyond the office? I enjoyed reading this book. It was well written with amazing character chemistry. I love the banter between the brothers and cannot wait to read their stories. I highly recommend this book it is far more than just an office romance.

Those sexy southern Landry men are back and more irresistible than ever! Graham has always wanted to be the CEO of Landry Holdings and make sure his family is taken care of. He is happy wearing his suits, and carefully organizing his life. He is so busy taking care of everyone else, that he doesn't take time for himself. That is until his new assistant, Mallory Sims, falls into his arms. Mallory is beautiful, smart, and a bit messy, which drives him crazy. She is the total opposite to Graham, and he can't get her off of his mind. She challenges his structure and order. He doesn't have a plan for her sexy intelligence, lavender scent, and melodic voice. He breaks all his rules and does things he normally doesn't do just to spend more time with her. Mallory had spent her life doing what was expected of her. After a bad breakup, she is determined to do things because she wants to, with no regrets, and sexy, dominant, Graham is a risk she definitely wants to take. Their attraction is instant and explosive and they can't get enough of each other. But Graham has been burned before and can't afford to allow anyone in again. But does he have the strength to hold fun, free spirited Mallory at arms length or will his carefully constructed world shatter around him? I love Graham and Mallory so much! They were fun, honest, and caring making them perfect for each other along with their smoking hot chemistry. The whole Landry family is essential to the story. Their fun sibling banter and unconditional support made this story even more fun and heartwarming. Ford played a large part in this book and I can't wait for his story! I loved this third book in the Landry Family series. If you enjoy reading fun, sexy, and heartfelt romance, then you will definitely love this book!

This is the third book in the Landry series but only the second I have read. I have to say I loved it so much more than Swing. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed Swing but Graham and Mallory made me love this book so much.

Graham is the most serious of the Landry siblings, he is uptight, a perfectionist and totally anal retentive. He needs a new administrative assistant immediately and when Sienna suggests Mallory he hires her without even meeting her.

Mallory has moved home for a new start, she left her past behind and is trying g to take control of her own life again. Working for the Landry’s wasn’t supposed to be this hard though, her attraction to Graham makes things so much harder.

This book was great, I loved both characters so much and the story flowed flawlessly in my opinion. Graham while being uptight and boring at times won me over in the previous book and I just fell more in love with him in his own book. Graham was a smart, assertive, and sexy CEO with a hot dirty mouth who could melt the panties of any woman.

Mallory went from being a wallflower to being a sassy, independent woman who was able to make her own decisions and follow her heart. She stuck up for what and who she believed in and didn’t let anyone treat her poorly, that is one of the many things I liked about her character.

The Landry’s are this close knit family that makes you want to be part of it. They pull you into the fold and make you envious of their relationships with each other.

I can not wait to see what Adriana has in store for us next with Ford’s story, I know he is going to be another great character.

Uptight CEOs finding love is kind of the cliche of the romance genre, but it's one we all seem to fall in love with time and again.

Graham Landry keeps the Landry brand together, running businesses and being the face of their brand. He doesn't have time for love, and he doesn't understand why anyone would sacrifice their time when other things need to be done.

Mallory Sims is a hot mess. Her intelligence shines through, but she can definitely be described as a bit of a slob -- who has time for cleaning when there are a million other things on your plate?

Adriana Locke has done such a great job pulling the Landry world together. I loved Graham - his presence is more than you expect from the snippets you get from him in Swing and Switch. He still has that strength that you see in the other books in the series, but we get more depth and development here that really gives an interest to the reason he is the backbone for the Landry's. But, he is a Landry, so you get to see a bit of humor and sibling rivalry that we've come to expect from the Landry Family series.

Writing reviews on heroines are difficult because we put so much expectation on her to be perfect - probably the same expectations we place on ourselves. Mallory didn't make me roll my eyes. In fact, I was captivated by her at points because she is so REAL. She has her faults, as we all do, but she is also not afraid to back down. She is learning who she is, and it's fun to watch her growth throughout the story.

Overall, I really loved Mallory and Graham's story. Their dynamic was fun and thoughtful, and of course the Landry family appearances within the text are hysterical. 5* for Switch.

I've always found Graham Landry somewhat of a mystery. He is the brother all his siblings rely on when they, need help or advice. CEO of Landry Holdings he likes everything in neat little packages, he likes order, and he doesn't do well with lateness or mess. Failure isn't really an option when it comes to his family.

So when his new executive assistant, Mallory Sims is late on her first day, it sends his routine into a tale spin. But little does he know that she is going, to rock his perfect little world. In ways he couldn't imagine.

Mallory Sims is having the worst first day. Running late, spilling tea down her favourite dress and breaking her favourite heels. Literally falling into Grahams arms, wasn't how she expected to meet her new boss.

The attraction between Mallory and Graham was instantaneous. Having been hurt before, makes graham a little bit reluctant, to take things further with her. Mallory sees the pressure he is under, she wants to take care of him, be the one he leans on. When the two of them finally, give in and open up to one another. It's hot, intense and heartwarming.

I loved Mallory and Graham together, they were exactly what each other needed. They each brought something different to the relationship. Mallory was strong and sassy. Graham was hot and incredibly charming. It was great catching up with all the other characters. I am definitely looking forward to Ford's story, he really has me intrigued.

Another 5 star book from Adriana Locke, I will be sad to say goodbye to these characters. As they are so different.
