Adriana Locke continues to bring me happiness with everything she releases. I love the characters and worlds that she creates. The families she brings to life bring so much joy and I can’t help but want to discover each one of their stories. 

Reputation was no different. I loved Coy and Bellamy’s story. I’ve been dying to read it since I was introduced to them and saw their conflict while reading the other characters stories. Reputation was more emotional than I would thought it would be and I loved it so much. 

Coy was a little cocky at first but once you really got to know him you realise just how big the size of his heart is and how much he cares for everyone around him. He has so much kindness to give and you could really tell just how much he loved Bellamy.

Bellamy was much more guarded and closed off to stop herself from feeling anymore heartbreak after already going through so much. Although she is closed off, her sass comes out strong, ESPECIALLY around Coy! She may be protecting her heart but that never stops her from having a heart of gold when it comes to those around her. 

Coy and Bellamy’s banter is hilarious. They started out with quick feisty retorts that had so much passion underneath that you could feel the underlying chemistry between them. The history between them made everything more personal and passionate and it felt like I had known them both just as long as they had known each other. Before they reach their HEA there are some really happy moments paired with the more emotional moments but in the end it is all worth it. 

I love Adriana’s writing so much, her stories are always super engaging and written in a way that makes me feel like I’m part of the family she is writing about. Although this book is more on the emotional side, it doesn’t take away from the cheerfulness that comes with her stories and makes them feel magical. Reputation is a great read that made my heart flutter. 

I would highly recommend picking up Coy and Bellamy’s story if you have or haven’t read any of Adriana’s past books. You won’t be disappointed. 

I can not wait for the next instalment of the Mason Family series, this book really made me curious about Boone and to be honest, I’m just excited to be coming back to this family!
