Dodging Temptation

I've read many books by Avery Flynn in the past and have enjoyed them all. I was really excited to get a chance to read Dodging Temptation, the first book in her new series early. First of all, I loved all 3 of the Loving brothers and can't wait to read Stone's and Griff's books. I'll say Dodge set the bar pretty high, but I know I'll fall for them just as hard as I fell for Dodge. I loved that Dodge was totally set in his plan to take revenge on his grandfather because he disowned Dodge's mom when she married Dodge's dad. While I didn't love him being so suspicious of Harper, I did love that he was fighting his attraction to her from the very beginning. I loved that Harper was trying to change her life by getting back into her career of cataloging historical books. She is determined to let nothing get in her way of moving on with her life, including the sexy cowboy, Dodge Loving. She quickly became more addicted to him than her nightly ice cream fix. Dodge and Harper had amazing chemistry and I absolutely loved them as a couple. While I felt like they were different in many ways, their differences seemed to make them work better as a couple. While I loved Dodge wanted to get back at is grandfather for is mother, he almost mess up his chances with Harper because of his desire for revenge. I loved that his family, and especially his mother gave him such crap for making mistake with Harper. I have to say while Dodge messed up in a big way, he made things right in an even bigger way. Dodging Temptation was a wonderful start to the new series from Avery Flynn. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves contemporary romances.

Dodge Loving is determined to seek revenge on his grandfather for a wrong he committed years before Dodge was even born. Dodge has worked years for the day he can rub his and his families success in his grandfather's face and the time has finally come. In competition against his grandfather's company, all Dodge has to do is close this one multi million dollar deal and his grandfather's enterprise will fall. Everything is going according to plan until the day Harper Conner showed up. Harper just wants a fresh start away from her ex-husband and the media. Being raised by her parents in the media spotlight Harper is used to having a life with no privacy but after her ex publicly admitting to having an affair Harper can't seem to find any peace. When offered a job by May Loving to catalog and appraise her rare cowboy diaries Harper was ecstatic. What better way to stay out of the spotlight than at an exclusive high-end resort in the middle of nowhere Wyoming. Things were going great for Harper until the day Dodge walked into the library and fired her. The sparks between these two ignite into a hate turn love relationship that will leave you laughing and begging for more. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun contemporary romance. Great start to a new series and can't wait for the next installment. I received an eARC of this book compliments of the publisher for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.

Avery Flynn always writes provocative stories with characters that are independent, stubborn and tempting. Dodging Temptation did not disappoint. Watching Dodge and Harper duke it out was a wonderful way to pass the time. Dodge was controlling, focused, desirable and pompous. Harper was an alluring distraction with something to prove. From the moment they met you could feel the sizzle coming off the page. Not only are they trying to prove something to themselves but also to the nay-sayers and criticizers they face in everyday life. Received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review. Dodging Temptation is a stimulating read that is full of emotion, sparks, wonderful storytelling and enjoyable characters.
