Mallory Sims is late for her first day of work.After spilling her tea, she discovers she has no gas in her car. Add that her arm keeps sticking to her dress from syrup left on the console of her car, flustered feels like an understatement.Then she sees her new boss.Graham Landry is the epitome of NSFW in his custom-fit suit, black-rimmed glasses, and a look so stern her libido doesn’t stand a … libido doesn’t stand a chance. Being flustered is just the start of her problems.
Her punctuality is only the start of his. With a pink slip in hand, he’s been waiting on his new secretary to show up only to let her go. Then she rushes in with her doe eyes and rambling excuses, smelling like bacon and lavender. The termination paper falls to the side as she falls in his arms.
This is a disaster in the making. Not because of his pinpoint exactness or her free spirit, but because when they’re together, the sparks that fly threaten to burn the whole place down.

“You don’t have to say anything. I just want to ask that you give my boy some patience. Lord knows he’s probably in over his head.” he chuckles. “But if I know one of my sons, I know Graham. And I know Graham will come around.”
As I finished Graham Landry’s story, I am still reeling about what I’m going to say. How can I convey how much I felt in this story? I’m not sure I have the ability to share everything I’m still experiencing, even after putting the book down.
Since beginning the Landry family series, I fell in love. I fell in love with their world. This family, although full of success, shenanigans, and crazy schemes, they are also such a tight family. Love flows through each thing they do, and this love extends even into those they bring into their family. The world they live in is not perfect, heck they are not perfect, but what is beautiful, to me, is that they continue to thrive and grow through their imperfections.
In this book we get to see more in depth what is happening within Graham. He’s always the put together one, the one who has a backup plan FOR the backup plan. At times he’s almost seemed heartless or cruel, but all he desires is to look after his family and not fail them in any capacity. This is tested when he meets his new assistant, Mallory. Of course he finds her gorgeous, but that’s not the real issue. She represents everything he feels he can’t LET himself be-free, messy, chaotic.
Throughout their journey, we not only see how each of their pasts are affecting their futures, but we also get to see the world around them shifting. For Graham, this is his brother embracing love and allowing themselves to open up and take a chance in life. For Mallory, she is exploring herself and finally allowing her potential to be apparent. Together, this is a recipe for disaster, but in it happening together, it allows them to find strength.
This is my favorite Landry, yet (Please disregard that I probably said that for Lincoln, too…). But I’m SO excited to learn about Ford. You’ll learn some things! It’s LIVE right now, go one click it! Also available on KU!
Every time I pick up an Adriana Locke Landry Family Series book, I know that I will be smiling at the end of it. Her storytelling ability is total off-the-charts amazing! Switch is Graham and Mallory’s story, one that a lot of us were anxiously awaiting and now that it’s here, we get the pleasure of reading the words and feeling the feels.
Like all of the Landry boys, Graham has his own special place in our hearts and minds. The sexy, suit wearing CEO is the stuff that dreams are made of. With his attitude of “Always on time, never make a mistake” to most people he would seem like a pain in the a**. But to his family, he is the Golden Boy that all of them depend on and he takes that responsibility seriously.
But it’s Mallory and her story that many can relate to situations in their own lives. Whether it’s her history with working hard to achieve her goals, her past attempts at love or her determination to make her life her own. We get her. She has her own little quirks – tardiness, messiness and just a light hearted look on life.
BOOM! CLASH! These two go head to head and the story is such a delight to read.
Ms. Locke has once again crafted a tale that is charming, captivating and delight to read.
OMG ! How could Adriana keep writing hotter Landry men ? Seriously have you meet Lincoln he was so sweet, cocky but sweet and swoony but Graham … OMG #hotsuit #Grahamtastic #Gramgasm
He takes sexy to the next level . Great job AL!
Graham Landry – sex in a suit. He’s efficient, determined, calculated and brilliant. He’s got his life figured out both professionally and personally. Every aspect is planned out and there is no contingency in place. Then enters Mallory, literally falling at his feet and into his perfect little world. He’s feeling emotions he doesn’t want to feel and is struggling with some inner demons. They become addicted to each other and have to work through some issues. As always, the Landry family is right there alongside every step of the way and it was really good to be able to catch up with all of them. I love their family dynamics and all of the Landry brothers.
