Avery Flynn is a pseudonym for the author who, at least for now, prefers to remain behind the scenes. She believes having Avery as her alter ego is a very good thing because, as she says, “Pen name Avery is way cooler than me. Her favorite color is hot pink. She drinks single malt scotch on the rocks. She loves the Argentinean tango and stays at Iceland’s Ice Hotel.”

Author Avery has been writing since she was a child and her father gave her a baby blue Brother typewriter. She couldn’t read but nonetheless wrote numerous stories about her stuffed animals in gibberish. She hasn’t stopped since, though she maintains that her spelling has gotten much better and she now prefers to write in English.

Today she’s enjoying her own happily ever after with her dashing husband, three crazy kids and two arthritic dogs. She dreams of one day having a floor-to-ceiling library à la Beauty and the Beast and is working to perfect the coffee IV drip.

Not my normal kind of book I would choose but I was given this book as a ARC – I was hooked and read it in two hours. No supernatural just pure romance with a little action thrown in…..

Josie and Sam seem to be doomed at the start….treasure, mob ties & danger cause major roadblocks right off the bat to deter their relationship but they find…um (creative ways, should I say?) to overcome them. 🙂

Off to put the first two books on my to-read list….curious about the rest of the Layton boys and if they can hold a candle to Sexy Sam. What can I say? I’m a sucker for hot, nerdy guys with OCD. LOL
