Wherever It Leads: A Standalone Contemporary Romance Kindle Edition

This book had me so twisted up and laughing, crying, yelling at my Kindle! Such an amazing story with wonderful twists I didn't see coming! Adriana always seems to hit it out of the ballpark. Definitely a one click author for me! Fenton and Brynne were chefs kiss!

So good. How do I know? Well, it's your fault Adriana, I was still up at 230AM reading this delish, when I absolutely had to wake up early for work. Thats how I know this book was great.I'm a tough reviewer. 5 stars are very few and far between. I'd say a contributing factor In why I loved this book, yet still gave it a 4 star, is due to the instalove. Instalove is a pet peeve of mine. A few other minor things like the constant ambiguity of Fenton's employment, (he's not James Bond. Why all the hush hush?! Even after everything comes to light.) Or the lack of 'what happened' for the heroine's ex.Regardless. Solid book.

Sometimes, you pick up a book that you REALLY want to read, you don't expect much from it because it is in a genre that is typically overdone. Rich guy meets conflicted girl, his dick wins her over and they live hea.That's not what I got from WIL.Yes, when you pick up WIL, you're going to pick up a billionaire romance. However, you get so much more. Misogyny is not a theme with WIL.At first, I felt like Brynne and Presley were going to be magically fixed by dick. I didn't expect much more of a storyline beyond broken girl, hot guy - he bangs her and everything is right with the world. While I loved their interactions, I felt that they were lacking intelligence and were just -- I don't know -- your typical romance heroine/best friend.As I read beyond the first sex scene (which Adriana perfected, btw. I'm going to expect that from her more often as her writing develops!), I started to see the depth in these characters - in Brynne and Fenton. I immediately recognized that Fenton is more intelligent than I gave him credit for. The 1st chapter had me rolling my eyes about another womaneating, chauvinist pig -- but don't judge a book by its first chapter rings true here. I promise.I started to realize how these characters were developing. Brynne had a heart of gold, and a brain to go along with it. She was doing what any person should try to do in the situation she was dealt -- I get that, and I love that. I also loved that Presley was a hugely supportive friend. She is one that every woman should have in her life.Wherever It Leads did trigger a lot of emotions from me. The way the book made me FEEL was something I did not anticipate. I felt so consumed. I wanted nothing but to live with these characters, to breathe their love and their pain.I didn't expect an emotional reaction from this book. I just expected it to be another romance novel - easy to lose myself in, but no real/true emotional connection.I was so wrong.I know that my reviews can get pretty long. If you've made it to this point, you owe it to yourself to read this book. WIL is so much more than a billionaire romance. It's intelligent, thought provoking, and most of all - hot. I would certainly re-read Wherever It Leads, which I cannot say about a lot of books.

Fenton Abbott is a seriously hot, rich business man who has a finger in a lot of pies. He finds himself totally enthralled when on a visit to a food store he finds a phone in among the banana's and is captivated by the girl who owns the phone and is determined to meet her.Brynne Calloway is dealing with a lot right now and is sworn off men, because of her cheating ex, and on top of that her brother has been kidnapped by terrorists in a foreign country.Neither are looking for a relationship and she really doesn't want to meet up with Fenton, but her best friend convinces her to go with it, after all nothing beats away the broken heart blues like a good rebound right?So what can i say about this book without giving away spoilers? I had to wait for a few days to try to pull my emotions back together again. The characters are well formed, intriguing, and strong. I loved the relationship between Brynne and her best friend. Beautifully written and keeps you turning the pages, i just couldn't put it down. Right from the word go, the characters leap into your heart. Fenton is strictly on the path of not believing in love, commitment or relationships but is totally up and ready for a bit of fun!! Brynne isn't good with any of that but she is drawn to him on all levels (and so was I!!) Plus with her past she feels this might be just what she needs! But it is so obvious this means a whole lot more to each of them. The chemistry, passion and intensity of their relationship just leaps off the pages and right into your heart. I got a little frustrated at times, the love was just so obvious and they both seem to want to ignore it. Adriana has a way of locking you in and making you feel so invested you feel part of their story. Just as things seem to be settling something momentous happens to rip them apart. I have to say at this point my own heart stopped and i just couldn't see how Fenton could redeem himself, and save both himself and Brynne. My heart was broke !!! But I of course should have had faith in the amazing writer, she seamlessly throws our emotions into orbit just to pull us back into her grip of gravity !! I am so happy i got BENT WITH FENT and i know you will too !!Would i recommend this book?? Hell yeah !!!!

Absolutely a really good book. She loses her phone and Fenton finds it then finds her. They are attracted to each immediately but her brother is missing and he owns the company that employed him. When they realised she kicks him into touch even though she is in love with him. Can they find the way back? This is a book that grabs within the first few pages. Well worth a read

Brynne and Fenton’s story was everything I love in a book. It had banter, lol moments, a best friend, angst, sadness, love and hot sex. I would have liked the story to include what happened to Brynne’s ex, Grant and I hope there is another book about Brynne’s brother, Brady and her bestie, Presley.

This is a decently written book.There are two plots involved which are interlinked but very different. The first is a romance between the two characters. Overall it is a sweet romance. The massive downfall is the lack of development with the characters. I never connected with them nor did I feel that they were really delved into by the author as they should have been.The second plot which takes up as many pages as the former regards the disappearance of the main female characters brother in Zimbabwe. I actually loved this plot. It was something completely different. The author went into great depth with Brady (says something that I remember his name and not the other two main characters names!) and his whole plot was more riveting.It was an interesting and slightly odd mesh of plots. And if the first one had been stronger it would have really helped the book.

What an amazing book. Was so excited to read another Adriana Locke creation but also a little nervous as Sacrifice was always gonna be such a hard book to follow.There was nothing to worry about though as this book was brilliant. However it is a completely different book altogether and is superbly written. The characters are so unique and complex but compliment each other fantastically. Especially the relationship between Brynne and Presley. There's serious parts to this book, tender moments, comical outbursts that make you chuckle out loud and steamy sex scenes to keep you on your toes. The characters are fab and I love them all but in very different ways:Fenton because he is just steaming hot and a total alpha male but also very vulnerable when you scratch the surface. Thinks he doesn't need love but oh how wrong he is.Brynne because she is a total sweetie with a little badass trying to get out. I love how she assumes she is in control of Fent and her feelings but we all know she isn't.Presley because she is the bestie we should all have... And also because I think we all secretly want to be a bit like her.. Totally uncensored and doesn't give a rats arse what she says. But you know she is a totally loyal bff to lean on.Cracking book Adriana... Totally loved it being in a lead female POV. Another one smashed out of the park!! 👏

I adored this story 😭😭 I started it last night and finished it this morning, I would've kept going if sleep didn't call for me hard!! Fent and Brynne's whole relationship I love and feels very relatable and makes you fall in love with them so much more 🥰 I figured out fairly early on what way it was going to work out but I still enjoyed it 😍
