just a genuinely well written and fantastic romance. balanced steam with emotion perfectly and contrary to some other reviewers, this didn't feel insta-lovey to me. the romance does take place over a short period of time but there was enough vulnerability between hero and heroine to make it extremely believable to me. this won't win awards for most original plot line ever but i don't really care. 5 stars.

victory is so much sweeter when you have to work for it Wow!This is the perfect conclusion for an amazing series with amazing characters.I don’t even know what to say , I’m speechless.This story brought me on a roller coaster of no ending emotions .Hollis was definitely something else.His past wasn’t surely an happy one. And it all came together in very big trust and abandonment issues. His friendship and chat texts with Crew and River were so funny and showed how strong their bond was even if

Not my cup of tea. Very basic. DNF Around 20%

5 stars “You’re one of mine now.” The Relationship Pact is the third book in the ‘Kings of Football’ series, and let me tell you- they saved the best for last! I loved this book! It’s definitely my new favorite Adriana Locke book! Hollis Hudson meets Larissa Mason randomly and she asks him to be her fake boyfriend for just five minutes. In those five minutes, there is a spark and connection between them and while Hudson is in town for an awards ceremony of sorts, Larissa and Hudson go...

NOW LIVE!Amazon US * Amazon UK The Relationship Pact is the thirst and final installment of the multi-author series, Kings of Football. This story can be read as a complete standalone though and Adriana Locke actually included a lot of cameo's from her own past characters which I absolutely loved. Hollis Hudson gave me all the feels and I adored his character. He may of had the abs of a god but under the good looks he was a vulnerable man still reeling from the lonely childhood he had after bein...

“Every door that has closed on you wasn’t your door.”I’m so happy Larissa got a book, because I really thought she was fun in Restraint. While that book was hot and sweet, it didn’t hit me as hard as this one. TRP follows Hollis from and Larissa. They are meant to just be each other’s fake dates to get through some awkward dinners and parties, but of course these two hit it off. Hollis’s back story and trauma made me so emotional, and just takes this story to a level I wasn’t expecting. Other th...

it was cute i guess, pero meh.

What a great story. I love this book and author. This is my first book by Adriana. Sports romances are my favorite as well. I don't want to give too much away. Just read this series n this book is the third of 3. A wonderful series

One of my favorite genres is college sports romance and this one didn't disappoint. Larissa & Hollis are strangers who happen to be in the right place at the right time. Hollis ends up pretending to be Larissa's date to throw off her ex. I enjoyed how their relationship grew and developed. Hollis is a more complex guy than just a sports jock and his need to feel worthy of love really played out in the pages. I know I said this in The Revenge Pact but I'm saying it again. I'm not sure what this

I absolutely love Adriana Locke’s writing. She is an incredible storyteller and this book did not disappoint. This is book three in the Kings of Football series which is comprised of three different books from three different authors. All three can be read as complete standalones, but I highly recommend all three. This one, however, is going to stick with me for a while. I promise it will steal your heart too. Hollis and Larissa’s story is a beautiful one. Hollis is an amazing person who has gon...

4.25 starsI’m sort of having a little “reviewer’s block” for whatever reason, so this’ll be kinda short.I suppose this may not technically be a Masons book officially since Larissa is a cousin & not a sibling, but as far as I’m concerned AL is two for two with the Masons in Restraint & now tRP. Cause I’m definitely hooked on the Masons. Despite tRP’s timeline not actually being that long from their meet-cute til the end, it didn’t feel that way. The way AL paced the built up to giving the feels

An epic bromance coupled with a strangers to lovers, fake boyfriend romance that will give your feels the feels! Hollis and Larissa are couple goals. Everybody wants hot friends like Crew, Hollis and River.Hollis is the good time guy. He’s all about the fun but it’s all to mask the pain. No real relationships other than his best buds, River and Crew. They are the only two he trusts. They’re his only family. Everyone else leaves.Hollis is in Savannah to get an award for time he dedicated to chari...

"𝙈𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧."The Relationship Pact is the great combination of heart-warming, scorching and funny.There are many reasons to love this book, but the main one is Hollis Hudson. Hollis easygoing and charming manner, his flirtatiousness but also the hurt and shame he tries to hide behind his carefree demeanor add up to a fascinating, utterly endearing male lead. His relationship with Larissa, despite the occasional bumps is genuine, infused with cute times.All in all, this book was so good a...

i have heard so many good things about this book, but im so confused. did i read a different book??i think i might be burnt out on fake dating and sports romances which may have hindered my enjoyment, but this felt rushed and contrived. i also don't really like romances that take place over such a short time period because i never feel like there is enough time to develop the relationship. overall, this was not it for me

Adriana has done it again! I absolutely loved Hollis and Larissa. I couldn't put their story down. There connection was totally instant and Hollis you discover doesn't make friends easily he is cautious after being let down by some people when he was younger. I loved Hollis, he had that vulnerability to him that you kinda don't expect and I loved Larissa, she totally knew what she wanted and didn't want! I laughed so much when she found out he was a football player! I loved seeing glimpses of he...

Hollis. Hudson. Is. Mine.This book just hits different. It's the same brilliant writing you expect from Adriana Locke, but somehow Hollis and Larissa are just... different. They're fun, they're light hearted, they're hot together, but there is an underlying level of angst, of mistrust, of emotion that drags you in, pulls you under, and doesn't release you until you've reached 'The End'. This one had me in tears multiple times, and had me laughing, rooting for our couple, and even wanting to smac...

It’s been ages since I’ve read a book by Adriana Locke and having read The relationship Pact, I’m wondering why I stopped reading her books.
I’ve really been enjoying the Kings of Football series and The Relationship Pact was the pièce de résistance because I adored Larissa and Hollis!I do love a fake-relationship plot line! Why? Because the chemistry and banter always makes for an entertaining read. You can feel the tension in the air!The Relationship Pact by Adriana Locke is beyond

I have always been adamant about the fact that "Written In The Scars" was Addy's best book ever, but Hollis has officially taken first rank in my heart. I seriously could not love this man enough!! His backstory just broke my heart, and I wanted so badly to be able to hug this hunky football player and let him know how loved he is. Oh my goodness, I adore him! So Hollis has been invited to accept an award by Lincoln Landry (he always finds a way to pop up, doesn't he?!😂) and since it's around th...
