Butterface by Avery Flynn

BUTTERFACE_RELEASE BLITZ.jpg  

“I love the heck out of this book! It’s super fresh and hysterical.” -- Helena Hunting, New York Times bestselling author

 

Butterface, a hot romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn, is LIVE!

2018-0627 Avery Flynn


Looks aren’t everything.
It’s true. I’m not what most people would call “pretty” and, well, high school was rough. Fast forward ten years and life is good…
Until a bunch of jerks think it’s hilarious to put the “butterface” (AKA me) on a wedding Kiss Cam with the hottest guy ever—and that old humiliation hits hard.
I recognize him immediately. The hottest cop in Waterbury and totally out of my league.
But then he kisses me.
And we totally forget the room, the crowd, everything.
Then he tells everyone we’ve been dating for months.
Soon everything starts to feel too real, from adorable fights over “necessary” tools to fix my broken porch to surviving a free-for-all dinner with his six siblings to picking up where our last kiss left off.
But there’s something he’s not telling me about why he’s really hanging around, and I’m pretty sure it has to do with my mob-connected brothers.
Because this is not a makeover story, and Cinderella is only a fairy tale…

I loved this book! Avery Flynn is a new to me author. I always love trying new (to me) authors so I can grow my library. The blurb instantly intrigued me, who doesn't love a hot cop? Butterface is a the first book in the Hartigan series but after some research I found out that this is a spin off of a previous series. I'll will definitely be going back to read those. That being said, you can 100% read this book without reading those and not be lost. 

Gina Luca is wedding planner. She gives everyone else the HEA that she thinks she'll never have. All her life she has been the girl with the hot body but her face on the other hand.. I enjoyed Gina. I will say there were times when I wanted to reach into my kindle and smack her because her confidence level is LOW. Really, really low. 

Ford Hartigan is a detective with the Organized Crime Task Force. Ford is the first in his family to not follow in the legacy of Firefighters. He's sexy and full of swoon. I swooned HARD with this man. He's so sweet and caring. 

The chemistry between Ford and Gina is fantastic. There is a slow burn with them and I loved that. There was no insta-love here. It was nice to see their relationship unfold, layer by layer. 

We can't forget the families involved here. Gina and Ford both comes from crazy families. Gina has two very overprotective brothers. Ford comes from a very large, and very loud, family. I laughed so hard at the antics from their families. I can't wait to get more books about the Hartigan's. 

Butterface has a little of everything in it. Humor, romance, sexy scenes and a little bit of a mystery. I will say it's pretty predictable but I didn't even mind that because the story made up for it. I really enjoyed it and read it all in one sitting.  


Butterface




  USA Today bestselling romance author Avery Flynn has three slightly-wild children, loves a hockey-addicted husband and is desperately hoping someone invents the coffee IV drip. She fell in love with romance while reading Johanna Lindsey’s Mallory books. It wasn’t long before Avery had read through all the romance offerings at her local library. Needing a romance fix, she turned to Harlequin’s four books a month home delivery service to ease the withdrawal symptoms. That worked for a short time, but it wasn’t long before the local book stores’ staffs knew her by name. Avery was a reader before she was a writer and hopes to always be both. She loves to write about smartass alpha heroes who are as good with a quip as they are with their *ahem* other God-given talents. Her heroines are feisty, fierce and fantastic. Brainy and brave, these ladies know how to stand on their own two feet and knock the bad guys off theirs.

 "The first time I returned to Lancaster was for my brother's funeral. The second time was for Myra."
For twelve years, I lived alone in my cabin, building a life with my two bare hands. I was free from their rules, their policies, and their lies. They are a cult. My father is their leader. To protect my brother's widow, I'm making her my wife. It's her only way out. But drawn to the purity in her deep blue eyes and the innocence of her gentle voice, I wonder if I'm not the biggest monster of them all. I have to save her from them and myself. Because every second I spend with this timid woman, I fight the urge to claim her. Own her. Make her truly mine. And I know it's wrong. I will break her fall—if I don't break her first.

Bedfellows by Lola Leighton



      
  


I wasn't looking to fall for one man. Let alone two... Sullivan and Will are as close as two friends can be. Growing up in the system forced them to rely on each other, and they've become accustomed to sharing everything—including women. Now they're ready for more. To find love. To start a family. To see the dreams they've shared since childhood come true. Apparently I tick off every box on their list—brains, beauty, and sass. I never hesitate to put both men in their places—which they find sexy as hell. One problem, I'm a traditional girl, with traditional values—one man, one woman, till death do us part—kind of values. They're willing to work to prove how very right the three of us could be, but what happens next is anyone's guess...

“Tonight has been great, Sullivan. It's just, when I think about adding Will into the equation, I get …”
“Scared?”
She shook her head. “Butterflies.”
“Butterflies are good, right?”
“I think so.” Her voice was barely above a whisper. I leaned in closer, captivated by her. Everything about her drew me in—from the swell of her full lips, to her uncertainty about this, and especially her willingness to try.
“He's not here now. Put the butterflies away.”
“Okay.” She smiled.
I leaned in closer. “I've wanted to kiss you all night.”
She wet her lower lip with the tip of her tongue and it was all the answer I needed. She wanted this, too. Wanted me.
My heart pumped faster with that secret knowledge.
Tilting her chin so that her lips met mine, I took her mouth. Gently at first, and then with a growing sense of hunger as her warm, wet tongue came out to meet mine.
She tasted incredible. Slightly sweet from the wine, and feminine and simply perfect.

Blurb: After tragedy struck, Sean Amory left life as a record executive in L.A. to go back to his roots. He’s come home to River Hill to work in his family’s bakery while he decides what to do next with his life. Somehow, the warm ovens and fresh dough are soothing to his raw edges—and the gorgeous woman he sees jogging past every morning as he opens up the shop has another effect entirely. Jessica Casillas-Moore’s former life as a beauty queen led to her current gig as a lifestyle consultant for a dozen local TV stations, but it also means she hasn’t eaten carbs since she was fourteen. But smelling them won’t ruin her career, so she makes a point to route her morning run past The Breadery, River Hill’s most delicious site. When she meets the handsome baker, sparks fly and cupcakes get … frosted. Opposites really do attract, and it turns out that Jess and Sean just might be made for each other. But when his past rears its ugly head and her future comes calling, they’ll have to work out just how much they’re ready to give in order to get what their hearts most desire.

Playboy by Katy Evans

SBPR-BT-BANNER (3).jpg
Playboy by Katy Evans
Publication Date: July 29, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Playboy



A brand new contemporary romance from New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans.
It started as a game.
We flirted. We played. Most importantly—we won.
Then I discovered who he was: Gambler. Famous playboy. Silver-eyed player who never plays to lose...
And my best friend’s soon-to-be brother in law, Cullen Carmichael.
He needed a good luck charm, I needed a distraction.
So we made a gamble and set off for Vegas—but pretty soon—I was in too deep.
My heart, soul, and body weren't supposed to be part of the deal.
But somewhere between big wins and long nights, my house of cards started to tumble.
What was this devil with those piercing eyes doing to me?
I’d given up on love, but the wicked, all-in Cullen Carmichael was upping the ante and wouldn’t stop until he’d won it all.
Playboy-AN
Read Today:


When you see the title Playboy, you know you are going to be getting a pretty good ride.  You would expect lots of steamy sex with the right mix of angst to get you through the day.  I have come to expect that from a Katy Evans book and that is pretty much what I got.  I will admit that the hot steaminess didn't come for awhile, but when it came it pretty much smacked you in the head and said Hello!!
Cullen and Wynn are the type of characters that you are waiting for.  You can feel the sexual tension between these two and you are waiting for the moment that they are going to take your breath away.  These are two characters that have sworn off love because of mistakes of the past.  Whether it was theirs or the people they have in their lives.  The chemistry between these two is pretty amazing, but then again you expect that from a Katy Evans book.
This is the 5th book in the Manwhore series and I will admit that these books are so spaced out that I forgot that I even read the other books in the series until I got to reading the book a little.  Although you could erad it as a standalone and be perfectly fine.

“So you just kissed me because you wanted to.” I speak on a breath.
“Very good. You’re perceptive. Intuitive.”
I realize he’s teasing me in that low, terribly rumbly voice and I wish he would smile at me.
He takes my hand and fingers my palm with his thumb as he leads me to our suite.
I’m sizzling where he touches me, nervously prying my hand free when he leads me into the biggest, most spectacular two-bedroom penthouse suite I’ve ever seen. Not that I’d seen one before in person, only movies.
There’s a kitchen area, and windows from floor to ceiling. A living room, a pool table, gold brass chandeliers, a brown-and-beige-patterned carpet, dark woods, Italian leathers. Gorgeous! I could move in here.
Now I see the appeal but won’t admit as much.
Thinking of our bet, I pay attention to the art on the walls. It’s expensive. I can tell by the numbered print and the signature. Painters with indecipherable and artistic signatures are often the artists to watch. It’s like they know from the moment they paint their first work that they’re on to something big, something that will distinguish their work from all others.
I wish Cullen loved art as much as I do. Maybe I could drag him away from the tables to a local gallery.
“Wow. I could just live he—” I spin around and bump into his big warm body, and he bends his head and kisses my words right out of me.
Kisses me stupid. Kisses my toes curled. Kisses my brain blank. Kisses my heart crazy.
