Avery Flynn | Tequila and Men: What Could Go Wrong?

Instagrampinterestamazonbookbubgoodreadstwitterfacebook

Who here knows a man like this?

There were men Ryder had slept with and never thought much about again. Then, there was a handful whose memory always put her in a good mood, like a cool beer on a warm night. Standing before her was the one man whoโ€™d bypassed the pleasant-buzz setting and had zoomed straight into the hardcore, make-your-panties-wet, two-shots-of-Tequila-too-many danger zone.

Oh my God, we should all know a guy like that. Seriously.

Luckilyโ€”or unluckily depending on your viewpointโ€”Allegra โ€œRyderโ€ Flacon knows
just that guy and sheโ€™s done everything she can to ditch him. But whereโ€™s the
fun in that? For a romance reader (and writer) thereโ€™s no fun at all. So of
course, the one guy to get past her mile-high defenses is the one man she canโ€™t
avoid. And as for Devin Harris? Well, thereโ€™s nothing more he loves than a
challenge and Ryder Falcon is โ€œa walking stop sign.โ€

I love writing the alpha vs alpha love stories. The kind where the hero falls in
love despite the heroines curves, edges and perfect imperfections (to steal a
killer line from John Legend). And the heroine falls for him right back. Itโ€™s
the pledge I make as a romance writer to every reader. I believe in it. I live
and breath it. I crave it myself as a reader.

So now that weโ€™re total buds, spill the beans. Who was your two-shots-of-Tequila-too-many man? Share your story in the comments (to be entered to win a copy of THIS YEAR'S BLACK), and donโ€™t forget to enter to win the THIS YEAR'S BLACK $500 Escape giveaway!

One night after getting up close and personal with Jack Daniels I decided to strut on over and introduce myself to this guy I saw sitting with a friend (She didn't like him, I could tell). Well, one dance let to another and another and before you knew it we were married and have recently celebrated out 36th year together. Yea! Jack Daniels!
(Debbie Kelly 7:46pm June 2, 2014)

LOL Debbie! That's the best Jack Daniels recommendation ever! :)
(Avery Flynn 8:26pm June 2, 2014)

Ack! Sorry Kent, Shelly and L, I can't read your comments. For some reason
there's an ad over the comments on my computer screen. ;( Thanks for coming
by though!!!
(Avery Flynn 8:27pm June 2, 2014)

I met the Watkins Man, literary living upstairs. When he came
selling his "wares", I bought them without complaint and have
been married to him for 39 years this September.
(Cindy Olp 11:29pm June 2, 2014)

It was actually a charity beer tasting fundraiser that got me
and my husband of 22 years together. :-)
(Glenda Martillotti 12:10pm June 3, 2014)

drinks so i dont have any stories the book sounds really good

(Denise Smith 5:44am June 3, 2014)

He was an impersonator and good looking but not so good..
sobered me right up.
(Tina Ullrich 6:08am June 3, 2014)

Cindy -LOL. Double points for song lyrics!
(Avery Flynn 7:20am June 3, 2014)

Glenda - Cheers to that!
(Avery Flynn 7:20am June 3, 2014)

Denise - I tend to thing of a two-shots-of-Tequla-too-many man in the
metaphorical sense. You know, those guys who make you feel a little tipsy even
when you're stone cold sober. :)
(Avery Flynn 7:21am June 3, 2014)

Tina - Oh wow. You have me totally curious. ;)
(Avery Flynn 7:22am June 3, 2014)

I don't drink, but I've never met a man who made that way.
(Jen Barnard 7:47am June 3, 2014)

I don't have a drink friend and don't drink myself.
(Pam Howell 8:40am June 3, 2014)

I can't really say that I got to that point in my drinking
days, but the man for me has always been my Husband!! That's a
great cover for your book, and I'm sure I'll love what's
inside even more!! Congratulations!!
(Peggy Roberson 9:52am June 3, 2014)

None, I met my hubby at 17 so no good stories to tell!
(Sue Galuska 12:12pm June 3, 2014)

Never got to that point. But still would like to read about it.
(Tina Lechuga 1:21pm June 3, 2014)

My second husband although he wasn't my second husband for
very long!
(Denise Austin 2:42pm June 3, 2014)

I never had that moment. I would love to read about it!
(Lisa Garrett 8:20pm June 3, 2014)

No good stories to tell. I live an unexcited life, that's why I read.
(Laura Gullickson 10:13pm June 3, 2014)

Sometimes that may be a good thing, Jen. :)
(Avery Flynn 10:23pm June 4, 2014)

Peggy - Entangled does a great job with covers! Thank you xoxoxo
(Avery Flynn 10:25pm June 4, 2014)

Sue - I don't know. Sounds like a pretty good story!
(Avery Flynn 10:25pm June 4, 2014)

Tina - You'll love Devin and Ryder then. :)
(Avery Flynn 10:25pm June 4, 2014)

Denise - LOL!
(Avery Flynn 10:26pm June 4, 2014)

Lisa - Good luck!
(Avery Flynn 10:26pm June 4, 2014)

Laura - I don't know. There are some times when I'm glad I'm a minivan driving
soccer mom. :) Like when I try to imagine what it would be like to go traipsing all
over a tropical island hunting a mob boss's mom - who's just as bad as he is. :)
(Avery Flynn 10:27pm June 4, 2014)

hello thank you
