Swink

By: Adriana Locke

Narrated by: Wen Ross, Kai Kennicott

Length: 7 hrs and 10 mins

Publisher's summary

USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke brings the heat with this romance between a silver-spoon southern princess and the blue-collar fighter that wins her heart.

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.

Better Than I Hoped; But….

Loved this story! Many of the complaints of other reviewers I felt were solved when Dom meets Camilla’s father; It all made perfect sense to me!
MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT was with the FEMALE NARRATOR/NARRATION. Which is quite the conundrum because I quite liked her narration in the previous 4 books.
The SOUTHERN ACCENT she assigned to CAMILLA’S CHARACTER MADE HER SOUND DITZY AND WEAK; traits totally opposite of how think Camilla’s character was written to be. IMO she got stronger as the story progressed, which I thought the narration tempered.
My question is why the accent?? None of the other female characters in the previous 4 books were given an accent and they were all from Savannah (or there about) as well…

Dom and Cam 4.5⭐️

Dom and Camilla are such a great addition to the Landry family saga! Their dynamic is so different from the other couples and it brings the perfect balance to the series.

‘No one has ever made me feel so safe and so reckless at the same time.’

Despite Dom’s bravado there are so many little things he does to show Cam how much he cares for her. Their relationship is endearing and frustrating and super smoking hot.

There’s so much growth for them but also within their respective families as well. As always, Adriana Locke has given us a story filled with heart, shenanigans and a healthy dose of heat!

Classic Locke

Always have I enjoyed the Laundry Series by Adriana Locke but I especially enjoyed Swink. Camilla Landry is the sweetest and her dating a man, very sexy man, from the wrong side of town puts a whole new twist to the story. The Brothers always way to overprotective makes the story full of twists as I thought they would be even tougher to win over. I love all the mini stories of the family and the new addition of characters. You did it again Adriana!!! One last nite about the Narrators, Kai and Wen are incredible, I can listen to them day!!!

Another wonderful addition to a great series

Wow. I loved this book. This is a wonderful series and this was a great addition to this series. Adriana Locke again out did herself. Camilla (swink) and Dominic are so great together. I loved the story and the chemistry. The Landry's are great and to see each of them again is great. Cannot wait to get Sienna story.

In this edition Cam is with Don who is from the wrong side of the tracks and everyone thinks they don't belong to each other. But they do and they fight for each other.

Kai kennicott and Wenn Ross has done a great job. They made it so you don't to stop listening to this book.

Cam & Dom

Sweet story of two people from the opposite side of the tracks and the struggles they face trying to mesh together their different upbringing and social status, what first started as lust morphed into love. Acceptance is hard but needed to make it, and eventually they do..

will have to actually read...

make sure you do the sample of the narration, could not stand it. The story was a good one but it would be a much better to read it then to listen to these two.

great series

i love this series. I can't wait for the next one. real people with real problems

Ending Less Than Satisfying.

Not sure what Ms. Locke was thinking with this one. I have followed the Landry family through all of the books until now, and loved it but this story lacks the ending it deserved.

Still a good story, not as good as some of the preceding books, but I enjoyed it and looked forward to the kind of ending that the other books delivered. Ms Locke built a beautiful love story with a myriad of interesting and compelling elements that I thoroughly enjoyed. But I think Camilla and Dominic were short changed just as their journey righted itself. Hoping a future book in this series provides the fleshed out HEA they so richly deserve.

Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott did a great job and added some additional fire to a story that might have fallen short without the right characterization. I have enjoyed their performances throughout the series tremendously, and they are now among my favorite voice talents for this genre.

Adriana Locke was new to me prior to the Landry family and I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. Even this story. I will continue to follow her writing because I have to believe that somewhere along the line, the story for Camila’s twin will wrap everything up the way that I have come to expect from Ms. Locke.

Still worth the read, or the ‘listen’. While the story may not have been my favorite among Landry siblings, Camila and Dominic are definitely among my favorite characters. That being said, I can’t help but feel that they deserve a little more than this book provides. Holding my breath for the next chapter in their beautiful romance. ❤️❤️❤️

Not the end of the Landry family series

On audible, the next book Says it should be “Sweet” but there is no book. After a little research, I figured out that Cams twin sister Siennas story, is in the Gibson boys series as “Crank”.

Cams story is really sweet, and romantic. It was a little to much like my marriage to my ex husband, but other than that I liked it enough to find her sisters story and then started on the Gibson boys. I’m a little obsessed with the dual narration. Love it!

Swink: Another Locke Hit

I love everything about the Landry series. All the characters are so well written. The dynamic between the siblings, the parents, the major male and female roles. It all intertwines so well. What really ties it all together in a big red bow are the voices of Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott. I love an interactive narrative.
This story between Cam and Dom - the good girl and the bad boy is so precious. I have only one negative remark. Camilla's character is so naive about why Dom didn't want her at his fighting match. I realize that there are actually some people who are raised very sheltered. However, Cam's character was a strong woman and she just didn't seem to be that clueless about most everything else in life. So it surprised me that she would act that way.
I'm looking forward to the next book in the series Sweet.
