Dodging Temptation

I don't think I've ever been disappointed with one of Avery Flynn's books, and this is no exception! Dodge is a bit of a jerk and it frustrated me the way he was plotting his way around Harper. As he gets to know her, the attraction turns into something more, but in his obsession of getting revenge against his grandfather, he almost loses her. Harper has been through a lot with both her ex and her parents and lost herself in the process. It was great to see her being true to herself and become her own person. The chemistry between them is great. Wonderful introduction to the Loving family - their mom is too cute. Looking forward to Dodge's brothers stories - can't wait to see who their mom matches them with. I received an ARC via NetGalley for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.

Dodge Loving runs an ultra private resort/retreat in the middle of Wyoming. His grandfather runs a hotel that is in dire need of a cash influx. They are competing against each other for a place within the global resort company, The Brasch Group. Nothing will stand in the way of Dodge making sure his grandfather loses EVERYTHING because of the way he disowned Dodge's mother many years ago, when she married a black man. Is his need for revenge making him more like the old man than he wants to admit? Then his mother hires Harper Conner and he can't keep his eyes or hands off her until he finds out she works for his grandfather's company. Is she a corporate spy? Can he trust her? Dodge is one fine looking cowboy/businessman. I think he gave up too easily on Harper. For as close as they got, I didn't feel the deep feelings from Dodge that he should have had. I felt the fun and sexy rendezvous in the kitchen, in the hall, and in the library, just to name a few, but no truly deep "love" feelings. Still, a very steamy and sexy romance with a fantastic cover! Received a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed is my own.

You really can't go wrong when you pick up a book by Avery Flynn and this book proves that again! This book is about Dodge Loving and Harper Conner. Dodge is the extremely driven and successful owner of a ranch in Wyoming that caters to celebrities and the upper class. Harper is a political princess whose marriage has ended because her Senator husband cheated on her and she refused to stand by him. Harper accepts a job at the ranch and sparks instantly fly between her and Dodge. I love that Harper refused to be a doormat for her husband and was able to leave that life behind her. I love strong woman characters and Harper is definitely that! I love the Lovings! I loved their family dynamic. May Loving is a different sort of woman but you can sense the love for her family. The relationship between Dodge and his brother's Griff and Stone was great too! I can't wait for more from this family! I would definitely recommend this book!

Once again a book by Avery Flynn, that I could not put down. A new family in Wyoming that readers will fall in love with. Dodge Loving, is seeking revenge on his grandfather on a deal of a multi billion dollar luxury resort when a Harper shows up with paparazzi on her tale. Harper is seeking a hide out, a low keyed job after slapping her senator ex husband during a press conference. Dodge is not liking this added publicity to the resort, but Harper is enjoying her new job. Even though there is animosity between these two, sparks start to fly and they can't keep their hands off each other. With the help of his meddling mother, May, she will make sure they fall in love. I have fallen in love with this family, can't wait to see who the next story is about. May was a hoot! I highly recommend this book!

Avery Flynn writes a hot steamy book. She glues you on page one all the way though to the last page. I could not put the book down until I finished. There is revenge, money, paparazzi, cheating, hot sex and a plot. Dodge and Harper have so much chemistry in Wyoming at a luxury resort. I do not want to tell any spoiler of the book, so please buy this book and read it. This is my first book written by Avery Flynn and it will not be my last. She has a way of making you connect with the book like are in the story. I was given this book by publisher via NetGalley, for my honest review.

'Harper didn't even look his way as she stood with her arms crossed. "What do you want?" "You." He didn't mean to say it, but the single word popped out as true a statement as he'd ever made.' BAM! Avery Flynn just kicked off a new series - The Retreat Series -and I am hooked! Dodge Loving does NOT seem very loving at all. He seems rather ruthless. But Harper Conner has been through hell and back, so she knows Dodge is just a temporary diversion on her road to the new "her". As love usually works, it sneaks up on both of them. Awesome chemistry between this hero & heroine will keep you page turning - but you won't want it to end! Can't wait for more of this series!

Dodge Loving is trying to get backing for his retreat from the same company his grandfather is trying to get backing from. Dodge has a revenge plan against his grandfather and wants to keep all paparazzi away but Harper is there and they are following her. dodge is trying everything to get rid of Harper, but could it be that they belong together? Avery Flynn has again made you love another family and can't wait for the next installment. This is the first of the trilogy and was a great start.
