Craft - The Gibson Boys #2 - by Adriana Locke

 

About the Book

They’re not quite enemies. Not really friends. More like frustrated balls of sexual tension and neither will give in.

               

Lance Gibson drives Mariah Malarkey absolutely crazy. He uses her office like a phone booth, takes cupcakes from the corner of her desk like she baked them just for him. She didn’t. Maybe she knew the history teacher happened to love peanut butter icing, but that was purely a coincidence. All sixteen times.

Mariah has a way of getting under Lance’s skin too. She calls him out on his crap, spoils him even if inadvertently, and seeing the librarian in skirts drives him wild. She won’t give in. It’s for the best, really, considering there’s no way he could lie to a woman like that and he’s not about to tell her the truth about himself. Not in a million years.

These two don’t hate each other. They don’t really like each other. But for this to be a friends-to-lovers story, they have to start somewhere, right?

Note: This can be read as a standalone novel.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

For most of this book I was wondering about the title what and who was Craft but then I got it and I really liked it. The theme of this book is to craft your life and that is not always something easy to do but sometimes life is not what you expect and you have you have to get past you painful past and craft a future for yourself. The BIG issue I am not spoiling except to say it surprised me. It was not something I saw coming and it made sense with how it affected Lance's life and I totally understood why it was a big deal for him and Mariah.

This story is Lance Gibson's story, he is the teacher brother we met in the last book. We get occasional glances at the Gibson boys. Not as much as in Crank but a few scenes with them. I would have loved more brothers and their interaction with Mariah but I also understood why they are not as present. To some degree Lance has kept a distance from them since his parents died and he has a big secret they don't know.

Mariah is the sexy librarian at Lance's High School and he gives her a very hard time. She in turn has a like/hate relationship with him. I actually loved their relationship and how they each give each other a hard time and with their flirtation.

This was a really fun and flirty stand alone. There is one big issue that Lance has and it was a doozy. I totally understood why it was this big thing for the two.
