Release Blitz & Review: Avery

 


Release Date: December 2

Avery Fletcher makes a better friend than a lover—at least he thinks so. Well, him and every woman he’s ever dated. Now his encounters are brief and satisfying. There’s really no need to complicate things.

Though, when he sits alone on his porch listening to the cicadas, he has a brief lapse in judgment and yearns for someone to talk to.

Helena Davenport doesn’t need a man—nor does she want one. As heiress to her late father’s fortune and business, she’s here to impress. But apparently, you can’t get away from societal expectations—even in the twenty-first century, and the board of directors wants this queen to crown a king.

When she finds herself being tattooed by none other than bad boy Avery at a bachelorette party, she hatches a plan. He’s perfect—tattoos, unruly beard, and a sharp wit. Oh, and incapable of falling in love with her. He makes the perfect fake boyfriend.

She’ll get the company board off her back by giving them exactly what they asked for, and watch them eat their words. What could possibly go wrong?

Social events put the pair to the test, forcing them to get cozy—a little too cozy. The situation soon turns red hot and a little worrisome.

As the plan to stay platonic starts to fall apart, can the two keep their cool or will they succumb to the heat between them?

This is the third book of the series and each one gets better and better.  This is a fake relationship trope and I'm not usually a fan of those. But having met Avery in the previous stories, I was so surprised by his underlying character that the story sucked me in before I could protest too much. 

Avery doesn't do relationships and Helena needs to have one in a hurry. Avery is a good guy and agrees to help her out.  Just a few publicity moments here and there.  It wasn't supposed to be more. They come from different circles. But the two of them connect as friends and the chemistry between them is off the charts. 

There is a bit of angst when doubts of worth pop into Avery's head.  Good thing the gang at Bird's Eye is there to lift him up and get his head screwed on straight.  

I loved these two together. I loved seeing under all the polish of Helena to the good person she was. It was great to see the other couples in the group as well and catch up with them.  Parts of this story happen concurrently with Will but with Avery's POV. 

Great addition to the series.  I can't wait to read more about this group of friends.

Kat Savage resides in Louisville, Kentucky with her three beautiful children, her hunky spouse, and two spoiled dogs. She secretly has hope of getting chickens one day. 

By day, she’s an office manager, pushing paperwork and daydreaming. When she’s not at her nine-to-five, she’s writing. Or thinking about writing. Or preparing books and book stuff. Or quite possibly, designing stuff for other people’s books. 

She was driven to writing out of a need to distraction and self-preservation after the death of her sister in 2013. Since then, it’s snowballed into a full blown passion she can’t escape. Even on the toughest days, she wouldn’t want to.

She writes poetry packed with real, raw, and sometimes ugly truths. She won’t lie. Her goal is to make you ache, in that perfect delicious way we often secretly crave.

Shortly after putting her poetry and prose out into the world, she turned to novel writing. Savage is a natural storyteller, getting better with each book. She tries to give the characters in her novels depth, whether they’re serious or comical, she builds them in layers with the hope that you see a little of yourself in some of them.

This is my first read of this author. The book can easily be read as a stand alone.  it is a dark mafia story and really takes some time before there are any feel good moments. 

Maya and Villainous have a history. She was the girl that got away and he has never forgiven her for breaking his heart all those years ago.  They both have secrets as well.  Their hearts recognize each other but there is so much pain to overturn.  Neither are willing to just forget what happened but perhaps they can forgive and move on. 

There are a couple of twists in the story. I suspected the major one.  If you do not like dark romance, then this book isn't for you. I admit to sometimes scratching my head and saying "why?" at some of the actions between these two.  

I don't know that i will continue with the series. We do see Villainous' brother and his wife in this story so if you want to have no surprises, you should start with the first book. 

An ok read for me.

What a great idea for an anthology!  Fans of MC genre will love this quick peek at each of these MC's. 

I read KL Savage's contribution.  This is about one of the next gen--Ellie--who is Poodle's daughter.  She decides at 14 that she can handle a motorcycle and will do anything to be independent in that quest. It gets her and another kiddo in a bit of trouble. I love how these Authors always give us some Easter Eggs in thier stories.  Can't wait to see Ellie all grown up.  I am sure she will get into more trouble along the way. Poodle won't be able to protect her forever! 

Can't wait to read the rest of the holiday stories in this collection.  Will be a perfect getaway over the Christmas break for me.  If you haven't read the rest of the Ruthless Kings series--you should start at the beginning. I have yet to read a bad book in this series.
