The Landry Family Series, Part 1

I love the Landrys!

This was a compilation of the first 3 books in the Landry Family Series and I was addicted from the start!

SWAY:
I love reading series that center around families and I just know I’m going to love this Landry clan! Barrett Landry is a politician, and he has siblings. One is a soldier and one is a pro athlete (I can’t wait to read those books, too!) and I loved all the Landry clan!

Alison is a single mom who doesn’t do drama and isn’t interested in dating anyone in the spotlight. She’s had enough of both to last a lifetime and she doesn’t want it for her, or her son Huxley. She works hard, goes to school part time, and does her best. Then she meets Barrett Landry. Barrett is enamored with Alison in a way he never is taken by a woman. The last thing Barrett needs right now is a woman in his life. He’s in the middle of a campaign and it’s not something that is going to help, but he can’t stay away from Alison. She makes his life so much better. He can be himself with her.

I loved Alison and Barrett together. I could understand the hesitance they both had, Alison especially, and I really rooted for them to get together and work it out. I listened to the audio book of Sway and it was narrated by Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross. These two make an amazing duo and feed off one another perfectly.

This book pulled me in and kept me interested all the way through. It was sweet, sexy, romantic, and I can’t wait to read more from this author and the Landry family.

SWING:
After reading the first book in this series, I couldn’t wait to get to Lincoln Landry’s book! Lincoln’s story was sweet, sexy, and heartwarming. I loved the guy. I think I liked this one even more than the first.

Lincoln is a pro-athlete (baseball) but after an injury, his future is a little unstable. When he meets Dani, he’s captivated by her. And the fact that she wants nothing to do with him at first? It makes him want her all the more. Dani has bad experiences with athletes and she isn’t about that life. As hard as she tries to stay away from Lincoln, there is just something about him she can’t resist.

Honestly, the push and pull from Dani wasn’t my favorite thing ever, but I did understand her. I loved when she met his family and you could tell she was falling just as hard for Linc as he was her. There were some rocky moments, but the ending was absolutely perfect.

Once again, Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott make an amazing pair narrating this book. They did a fantastic job voicing Lincoln and Dani and you won’t hear me complaining if they voice the next one as well. I’m so excited that the next book is Grahams- I’m so intrigued! If you’re looking for a fun-loving read that’s steamy, light, and has a great family dynamic, pick up this one

SWITCH:
I've fallen in love with the Landry family. I was more than ready for Graham's book and it shocked me in the best way possible. I didn't expect buttoned up Graham to be so intense and hot. It was a nice surprise.

Graham Landry is the brother who has it all together. Mallory Sims is going to be his assistant and though she is extremely proficient at her job, she's not the type that's quite as organized as him. This makes for an interesting work dynamic. Aside from that, these two have that lust at first site thing going. They can't keep their eyes off one another, or their hands.

The attraction between these two was fire. They were a great pairing in all ways, really. Mallory complimented Graham perfectly. Even though Graham doesn't really do relationships due to being burned in the past, there is something about Mallory that draws him in. He wants to be there for her in all ways. He's sweet and protective.

Like the first two books in the series, Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott have duet narration that is incredible. Their chemistry voicing this series is amazing. Out of the first three books in this series, this one was definitely the steamiest and it made for a fun listen.

I really enjoyed this book and I'm loving this series. Bring on more of the Landry family! I can't wait to get to Ford's book next!

Fantastic value- 3 full length books for 1 credit!

This audio is an amazing value- three full length books for 1 credit! These are the first three books in the Landry Family series, each book focusing on a different brother. All three are narrated duet style by Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott. Both narrators are fabulous and once I discovered duet style (narrators alternating reading the male and female parts in a chapter) I want every audiobook I buy to be like that- it makes the audio experience so much more authentic!
Sway is Barrett and Alison's story. Barrett is a politician and Alison is a single mom. Their chemistry is amazing and there is a certain memorable scene that everyone who has read/listened to this one will never forget!
Swing is Lincoln and Danielle's story. Lincoln is a professional baseball player (swoon!) and he meets Danielle visiting the hospital she works for. Danielle is resistant but Lincoln is adorably smitten and pursues Danielle.
Switch is Graham and Mallory's story. Graham is a business man and hires Mallory to be his new secretary. It's a super-fun office romance.
Coming in at almost 24.5 hours, this audiobook is a must-buy!

The Landry men are swoonworthy!!!!

4 stars for narration
5 stars for storyline

Sway Book 1:
I genuinely loved this book! Although I didn’t really enjoy listening to the way Wen narrated it, only due to the accent he used, it grated on my nerves!
I love how audio books bring the characters to life
Sway is about Barrett and Alison! There is turmoil, great banter, beautiful friendships and some suspense as well!
I really enjoyed the storyline and the family bonds the Landry family have! Definitely something to be treasured!


Swing Book 2:
Goodness me! The hotness factor of deep voices made this one awesome book! The southern accent doesn’t seem as pronounced or maybe its just me!! I don’t know lol.
But I really cannot get enough! What can I say about Lincoln though, the voice, his flirtatious cheeky side but also he seems to have a big heart, among other things lol!
Kai certainly brings Danielle to life well and I just loved that although she was hesitant, she couldn’t really resist Lincoln!
This story had me on tenderhooks!
I love that the male/ female characters is done with duet narration, makes it especially good to listen to! You kind of feel immersed into to the story!


Switch Book 3
This story is about the elusive and secretive Graham! Loved the narration and the way the story went from start to finish!
Hearing him speak especially to Mallory made me giggle as well as snort laugh and the banter with his brothers was too funny as well! And the steamy scenes were OFF the charts HOT!!
I loved Mallory and I thought the story was narrated really well! I really just want to be a part of the Landry family!
So looking forward to more of this series!
I think I would definitely enjoy being wrapped up in the Landry brothers! Lol

Perfect start to a beautiful series

Sway - Alison already had one high profile relationship that ended in disaster and she was not looking for another. Her son was her only priority. That was until she met Mayor Barrett Landry and was instantly attracted to him. Although it is a political roller coaster both end up with a HEA that is completely swoon worthy. I enjoyed listening to this book and I highly recommend it. I cannot wait to listen to more in this series.

Swing - Amazingly sweet story. Lincoln was at a turning point in his career and could not figure out what he was missing. Danielle had more disappointment in her life than she could handle. When the two come together sparks fly and the chemistry is hot. I have fallen in love with the Landry family and cannot wait to listen to more.

Switch - Graham gets more than he bargained for when he hires Mallory as his executive assistant. Sparks fly right away and the chemistry between the two characters is so heartwarming to read. Control is in Grahams blood but Mallory sends him out of control. Another great audible in the Landry Family series. This story had me laughing and crying, it was such a great addition to the series that I highly recommend this book.

Steamy, sexy and charming stories! Loved them!

Audio review! Grapes...ice cubes...bacon...oh my!

Sway review:

I know I am late to the party, but I recently listened to Sway by Adriana Locke, the first book in her Landry Family series, and narrated by Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross. I absolutely loved it! Barrett Landry seems like the perfect man. He is powerful, sexy, charming and almost out of reach. Alison is a single mother working to give herself and her son Huxley a better life. She is focused on their future, their small family and work. Then a chance encounter with Barrett changes everything.

Barrett in on track to be governor, including all the struggles and stress that come with it. The responsibilities can be overwhelming. Alison is careful of her choices after being burned and humiliated. Letting Barrett in may be more than she bargained for. But their chemistry is combustible and undeniable. Can Alison trust Barrett to keep her heart safe and can Barrett let another person in with so much on his shoulders?

The audio of Sway by Adriana Locke was sweet, charming and touching romance. Kai and Wen truly bought to life Barrett and Alison to life for me and am so excited to listen to the rest of the stories in the series!

Swing review:

Of the books in The Landry Family series I have listened to-date, Swing is by far my favorite. I loved Lincoln in Sway, but in Swing, he blew me away. He was sweet and charming and so very caring. He is a baseball star and he knows it. One look at Danielle Ashley and he is smitten. She is smart, sexy and a game-changer. But she wants nothing to do with Lincoln. He is exactly the type of man she avoids at all cost.

And yet their attraction was immediate and intense. I loved their witty banter and interactions so much. Does Danielle take a chance on a man who could hurt her so much or give her everything she never knew she wanted? Lincoln knows Danielle is the one for him, but how does he show her? Baseball has been his life, but sometimes things change, right?

I absolutely loved listening to Swing by Adriana Locke. I devoured this audio and could not stop listening! Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross were absolutely amazing as Lincoln and Danielle. A must-read and/or listen too for sure!

Switch review:

Switch by Adriana Locke was a sweet and charming office romance with a bit of angst and a whole lot of chemistry. Mallory Sims is ready for a change and ready to put herself first. She is fun, sweet and lively. She may be late at times and not always the most organized, but she will fight for what she wants. Graham is the keeper of his family He is strong, determined and practical. He has a plan and Mallory was not part of it. But sometimes life takes a turn you were not expecting.

Once upon a time Graham gave his heart away only to have it broken. Never again. He will be the man he believes his family needs, while protecting his heart. Mallory just got out of a bad relationship, but something about Graham calls to her, but can he ever truly ever let her in? Such a fun and sexy audio with all the best feels! Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott continue to knock it out of the park and bring these stories to life!

Happy listening!

A great series of books

Allison is a single mom who has been burned by her ex who was power hungry and Barrett is the Mayor of Savannah who is running for governor. This is a sweet and funny story of overcoming fears. I loved the Landrey’s and can’t wait to read the rest of the books

This is the second book in the Landry family. Lincoln, a Major League Baseball player, is trying to rehab his shoulder when he meets Danielle, a child life specialist at the hospital. She doesn’t have any desire to be with a baseball player because of her past, but Lincoln is persistent. This is a very good and heartwarming story as two people try to come together and determine what matters the most. Definitely recommend this book and can’t wait to read Graham’s story.

This is the 3rd book in the Landry series and it was so great. Graham is the serious brother that looks out for everyone else and reins the family company. Mallory is a friend of this sisters and is hired to be his executive assistant. Sparks fly immediately but Graham doesn’t have time in his day for a relationship, nor does he want one. This is a great book as how two people can complement each other. You also get more of all of the Landry’s including a continuation of Barrett and Lincoln ‘s stories. I can’t wait to read Ford’s book.

Are the narrators tone deaf?

The stories are good but the narration is annoying. The pacing and inflections are all off beat. The emphasis is placed on all the wrong words and phrases. It’s like they use random punctuation after every sixth word. The male voice sounds fake and forced as do the laughs. Neither narrator managed to line up the words with the appropriate emotions and rhythm of the story. The female makes everything sound melodramatic. So irritating...

Landry Family Series

I absolutely adore this family and cannot get enough of them. Listening to this series just made me fall in love with them all over again. I had so much fun with this and I would love for more from them. The narration fits the series perfectly and brought everything to life with these stories. I can't wait for more from Adriana.
