Jenn Avery - Romance Lover

ABOUT THE BOOK Previously published in the anthology Santa, Baby, HOT TOY is now available as a standalone e-story for the first time! Mayhem ensues under the mistletoe as a determined shopper grabs the very last hot toy action figure off the shelf, only to find herself plunged into the middle of a real-life spy game and in the arms of a sexy secret agent...   REVIEW I love, love, love Jennifer Crusie, and I was so happy to see that there was a “new” book by her to read!  This is actually a previously published book by the author, but the story holds up well.  Even though this is a novella, the story flows well and she somehow includes a sweet romance along with a mystery.  I recommend this to not only Jennifer Crusie fans, but also anyone looking for a well written Christmas story that stands apart from the usually sappy stories out there.   OVERALL RATING - 5 STARS! MATURITY RATING - 18+ a little steamy   ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jenn...

ABOUT THE BOOK   Emerson “Emi” Blake dropped out of culinary school to care for her ailing mother, but she has bigger dreams than running St. Helena’s most popular pita cart. First on the menu: upgrade to a gourmet food truck. A new part-time job as a personal chef will definitely provide the funds, but it also forces her into close contact with her one and only one-night stand, Dax Baudouin, who’s daring her to try a second taste. Former army Ranger Dax has a clear mission: come home, get healed, and get gone. Yet Emi’s tough-girl exterior and hidden soft side are even harder to resist than her mouthwatering baklava. After years of battles, he knows better than to try and rescue anyone—not that she’ll let him get close enough to try. Truth is, Dax is starting to think that Emi’s the one person who can save   him …if he can just persuade her to give him another shot. REVIEW I love, love, love Dax and Emi.  They both are so troubled and messed up, but whi...

ABOUT THE BOOK A birthday card out of the blue from his estranged father sends successful Seattle marketing man Alex Chernoff on a detour to Cherry Lake in search of answers about his past. A day, maybe two, to tie up loose strings and he’ll be out of there, heading for Mexico, margaritas and blondes in bikinis. Emma Stanhope is all too familiar with hot, rich, entitled guys like Alex. They never hang around for long, especially not for a Plain Jane like herself. No problem. She’s smart and logical, like any good scientist, and knows better than to lose her heart. What Emma doesn’t count on is chemistry—of the romantic kind. What Alex doesn’t count on is meeting the girl who’ll make him want to change his ways. But when he learns that he’s a secret from his father’s real family, he can’t stay in Cherry Lake… even if he wants to. Will love be enough to convince Alex to stay… for good?  REVIEW I really enjoyed getting to know Alex and Emma in this story....
