Fresh Fiction Review

Dodging Temptation
Avery Flynn

Reviewed by Monique Daoust

Romance Contemporary

Dodge Loving, president of the The Retreat Spa and Resort, is furious when he spots a paparazzo. Dodge prides himself on giving his guests total privacy, which is even more crucial as he is close to sealing a deal that will finally give him the revenge he has been seeking over his grandfather. Dodge is sure the journalist is after aging rock star Garth Hampton, but to his astonishment it's someone from The Retreat staff. Dodge's mother hired Harper Conner to catalogue and authenticate over 200 cowboy diaries. The hitch is that Harper was recently involved in a political scandal and is desperately trying to keep a low profile; she wants to get away from her former life and reinvent herself. Dodge and Harper should hate each other, they try to dislike each other, but what can you do when it's an impossible task?

DODGING TEMPTATION is a light, fresh, and quick read featuring great characters, among them the beautiful scenery of Wyoming; Ms. Flynn really captures the wild beauty of the state. Garth and Harper start off on the wrong foot, but they soon realise that in spite of appearances, they are on the same side, and the attraction they feel is really meant to be in spite of their stubbornness. Those two have seriously blistering chemistry that threatens to melt one's ereader!

I loved the banter between the Loving brothers -- and what extraordinary names the characters have in this book! I must admit that my favourite character was Dodge's mother, a New Ager. She is a riot as she desperately wants to see her sons married off, in this case Dodge.

DODGING TEMPTATION is fast-paced, the story flows smoothly, the plot is sprinkled with a few interesting twists, and the romance is hot! Ms. Avery's snappy dialogue and wit are as present as ever. However be warned: DODGING TEMPTATION could be hazardous to your diet. There is a lot of ice cream eating as Garth and Harper bond over late night snacks! DODGING TEMPTATION is a fun, quick, sweet and sexy read!

SUMMARY

You can't hide from love...or revenge.

Dodge Loving wants revenge...and he's about to get it. On the cusp of closing a multi-billion-dollar luxury resort deal, Dodge can't afford for anything go wrong. But then a fiery redhead shows up, the paparazzi hot on her trail, and throws his world into chaos. He has to get rid of her. Immediately.

Harper Conner just wants to be left alone, but after slapping her cheating senator ex-husband during a televised press conference, she's a hot commodity. The ultra exclusive resort in Wyoming seems like the ideal place to hide--and work--so there's no way she's letting the Type-A jerk who runs the place fire her.

Despite the animosity sparking between them, Dodge and Harper can't keep their hands to themselves. This thing between them can't happen. It won't. But his mother has other ideas...and she's willing to do whatever it takes to make sure Harper and Dodge fall in love.
