Swink (Landry Family Series Book 5) Kindle Edition
I’m that guy.
Camilla Landry rustles against me, the silky fabric of her overpriced lingerie slipping along my bruised rib. The porcelain perfection of her skin is even more innocent against the colorful ink dotting my own.
It’s demure meets damaged, pampered meets punctured.
So, yeah, it’s obvious I’m that guy.
Dominic Hughes.
Her attempt at rebellion.
Her bid to see what the other side of the tracks feel like.
I’m okay with being used because, from where I’m sitting, the other side of the tracks have never looked so good.

Editorial Reviews
Review
...a sexy, breathtaking, and feel-good story enhanced with playful banter, scorching-hot interludes and the delightful interactions of the lovable Landry family. - Mary Dube, All About Romance and USA Today contributor
I am obsessed with this book. O.B.S.E.S.S.E.D! I can't stop thinking about it. I want to force it on every single person I know. - Angie McKeon, Angie's Dreamy Reads
The only reason I am giving this book 5 stars is because I can't give it more than that. - Kimberly Anne, Reviews From The Heart
The chemistry between Cam and Dom just flew off of the pages. They put up this front of casualness, but deep down, they BURN for each other. - Shayna Snyder, Shayna Renee's Spicy Reads
As always with Adriana Locke's stories, I spent much time laughing, chucking and generally feeling happy, but she also managed to get that emotion out of me which required me to need a tissue or two as well! - Louise Roach, 4LTOReading Blog

She loves connecting with readers, fall weather, football, reading alpha heroes, everything pumpkin, and pretending to garden.
Hailing from a tiny town in the Midwest, Adriana spends her free time with her high school sweetheart (who she married over twenty years ago) and their four sons (who truly are her best work). Her kitchen may be a perpetual disaster, and if all else fails, there is always pizza.

While this isn't technically the final book in the Landry series, it kind of is. Yes Cam's twin gets a book in another series, (Gibson's) and Dom's brother Nate gets a book, (Sweet, which is part of the Landry series, but I consider it the start of the Carmichael series).
I love this trope. The good/rich girl and the "bad"/poor guy. Usually it's rich guy/poor girl.
And really, Dom is not a bad guy at all. He's just had a crap life. The Hughes brother are both good men who had a tough upbringing.
My one peeve, I guess, is the third brother was mentioned... He was killed, but was never really talked about. Maybe it gets brought up in Sweet, I don't remember. But... I would have liked to know more about him.
•Hannah aka Red aka the gym wh*re... I get where Cam was coming from. Cam and Dom may not have been exclusive, at least thats how it was portrayed to me, but he never should have been alone with her anywhere. It looked bad and Cam was a better person than me. I would have freaked out.
Now on to Sienna's story in Crank (Gibson's book 1)
But he treats her kindly, adoringly. He's a little gruff at times but that's his nature.
She's also a little unsure about what she wants to do with her future. All she's ever wanted was to follow in her mother's footsteps but is that enough for her to feel fulfilled?
Dom is certain that their opposites attract relationship is doomed, but he can't let her go - and she doesn't want to be let go. When her brothers start interfering and family friends start putting in their 2c worth, Camilla finds her voice.
Like all of the Landry Family series, this is a story you don't want to miss.
It's undoubtedly one of my most FAVORITE reads of 2017! In my TOP 5(ish) with Before I Ever Met You, Egomaniac, Good Boy, Devil You Know, and The Wall of Winnipeg and Me!! It's a book I'll recommend over and over and over again because I just love it so hard. I mean, we have a rich, well-to-do, good girl falling for the bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks, and that dynamic, that dichotomy between Dominic and Camilla set my soul on fire.
There such a realness to this couple. A vibrant, tangible, compelling, addicting kind of magic that drew me to these characters. I felt them bone deep in a way that words can't express. Everything about this story felt perfect to me. From the way the author wrote the dialogue, to the natural progression of Cam and Dom's relationship, to the way Cam worked to break down Dom's walls, to the way Cam made herself vulnerable to Dom in a way that had my chest aching and my belly tightening, it was evocative, wholly heart stopping. I could feel my emotions climbing and expanding with each word. And those FEELS owned me in a way I can't truly describe. I'm enamored with Swink. Smitten with the story as a whole. And I am flat out IN LOVE with Landry family.
And let me say, before I go on. Swink is a COMPLETE standalone. Sure, it's book five in a series of interconnected stand-alones, and yes, obviously, you are going to see previous couples in this novel, but it reads like a total standalone and you will not be confused at all if you decided to start from here. I've read 4 out of the 5 books (still gotta read Swear) and this, SWINK, is by far MY FAVORITE BOOK IN THE SERIES.
It felt like it was written for me. It's an 'Angie' read that has absolutely everything I love in a romance novel. From the first chapter I was slayed. I felt riveted and invested in Dom and was pained by the way he fought his primal need for Camilla. I felt my heart ache with the way Camilla needed Dom to want her in the same way she wanted him. All that angst, those tumultuously raw feelings, drew me in and claimed me. I couldn't stop reading, you guys. I just COULD. NOT. STOP. READING. And my God, I didn't want it to end. I was reading at a ridiculous pace and I knew I needed to slow myself down, to prolong the intense feelings I was having, but I didn't know how. It was all-consuming. I was frenzied by these two, and those feelings are what I look in a great book. They are what makes a reading experience memorable for me.
To say that Adriana Locke nailed Swink would be an understatement. She more than nailed the feels in this story, bringing this bad boy meets good girl romance to life in an explosive way. I truly can't say enough good things. It's a MUST READ.
Camilla Landry has everything a girl could want. Four overly protective brothers who love her to death, a twin sister she's super close with, and a mom and dad who would sacrifice everything for her! On top of that, she has enough money that she never has to work a day in her life. Camilla's world is plush and lush, full of good things.
And then we have Dominic Hughes. A man who is the opposite. He's worked for everything in his life. Nothings come easy or free for Dom. From a troubled childhood, to an adulthood that's been less than kind, he's struggled to scrape by, and the world's been anything but a fairytale.
Camilla and Dom met when he came over to fix her air conditioner and from that day on they couldn't stay away from each other. But Dom and Cam are from two completely different worlds and Dom knows he could never truly be what Camilla needs, could never truly give her what she deserves. So for awhile it's all about hooking up. Dom is under the impression that he's Cam's attempt at rebellion, but that changes when their hearts get involved.
The romance is utterly intoxicating, you guys. Dom has so many reservations and fears when it comes to being with Camilla. It broke my heart. Everything about this romance pulled at my heart strings. I can't tell you how much I loved Dom. I swear, I could go on and on and on and on. But I won't. Hahahaha. I'll just say this, YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK. It's everything. So sweet and heartfelt and wonderful and I absolutely loved every second of reading. I highly recommend it and I really hope you give it a go. It's more than five star fabulous. It's epic.

It was more complex to understand both point of view from Cam and Dom. Once you start reading you can t stop .
Cam and Dom are in my literary book couple hall of fame .
This book does seem as rushed , it takes you where you need to go to get Cam and Dom and cheer them on .
Bloody well done ( i m not British but is seem fitting )
