Anger Bang by USA Today Bestselling Author Avery Flynn is a story with loveable characters that are awesome, and a few you will love to hate! It’s time to book your next adventure and head to Colter’s Hell, Wyoming along the Stinkingwater River for a wedding where shenanigans will ensue, laughter will be endless, and love might be on the horizon.
A contemporary read with a fling to lovers, opposites attract, revenge sex, and the heat … it’s a scorcher 😉 Oh, let’s not forget the wit, snark, charm, and a ton of fun. The title alone will have you reading page after page until the very end … are you ready?
Thea Pope is a paleontologist who would rather be around bones than a bunch of boneheads at a wedding, even if most of them are family. What happens when her sister, the Bridezilla gives an all-access pass for the wedding to be recorded. Every minute from the day guests arrive until the moment they depart Thea will have to go with the flow, but what will happen when she’s tapped out and done.? How how long can “fine” really be just f-i-n-e? When Thea embraces a plan and decides to do the one thing that would push your sister over the edge, will she finally find the courage to embrace her true self?
Kade St. James doesn’t believe in love but one weekend at his brothers wedding might change his outlook. Spending years of research for his job should’ve prepared him for the unexpected. What will he do when Thea makes him an offer that is accidentally captured for the entire world to see? Will he be able to trust his heart and make peace with the past?
From the 80’s nostalgia woven page after page this story is a great trip down memory lane. So, go grab your posters, leg warmers, parachute pants and get ready for a weekend you’ll never forget. If you are headed to a place where the river smells like sulfur for a wedding of the century you’ll need to play hard, get dirty, and be willing to take a chance on the unexpected. When your outlook on love, marriage, and family is about to be turned upside down, will you find the strength to not let the past define your future?
While this starts as an anger bang, it becomes so much more. If you thought you could attend a wedding with cameras recording every moment and not be “seen” you are in for a wild weekend! A suitcase of emotional baggage could ruin love and happiness for anyone. Thea and Kade will need to figure out what they really want and hope that they can finally confront their family and face their past. If you’re ready for uncontrollable laughter, lots of Pepto-bismol Pink, the possibility of revenge sex with lots of orgasms all while avoiding those pesky reality tv cameras planted everywhere it’s time to go grab your best 80’s fashions and get ready to party! The only thing missing is the music so grab those boxes from your garage and rediscover those mix tapes.
Caution this scorchin hot read may lead to an unexpected need to turn on the A/C. So steamy the pages may ignite. May include a dash of erotic elements or elude to further exploration of desire and need that might be too hot for some readers.
Thank you to Entangled Publishing for this advance reader copy for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Will should have agreed to driving back to the ranch tonight.
Then he wouldn’t be wearing a ridiculously small T-shirt, holding Hadley in his arms, and swaying to “Lay, Lady, Lay” by Bob Dylan in the middle of a geriatric dance party. Her arms rested on his shoulders, her fingers twined loosely behind his neck, while his fingertips lay lightly on the small of her back.
Feeling her move against him as Dylan sang made it hard to remember why he was here in the first place. Other dancers around them chatted and smiled while they glided around the floor. Not them. They were like those big statues on Easter Island, silent and unsmiling.
It wasn’t suspicious at all.
He dipped his head down, bringing his mouth close to her ear. “If you don’t at least pretend to be having fun, everyone is going to know that this whole thing is fake.”
“Oh really?” She tensed in his arms. “I hadn’t considered that at all.”
“So what are you going to do about it?” he asked as he spun them through the crowded dance floor.
Hadley lifted a shoulder and let it fall. “Develop a headache that means I have to go to bed.”
The mention of the word “bed” filled his brain with enough bad ideas to make him miss the beat. She looked up at him, her eyebrows raised in question, and the futility of the situation hit him hard. Despite it all, he wanted Hadley. Why? Because he was the king of fucking bad ideas at the moment.
“Oh yeah,” he said, laying on the sarcasm thick. “That won’t be weird at all.”
“Why are you like this?” She let out a huff of frustration. “From the day Web introduced us, you’ve either ignored me or insulted me. And don’t throw that gold-digger ridiculousness at me again. We both know that’s not really it.”
The only answer he had to that was too close to the truth to be comfortable, which was exactly why he kept his mouth shut. It didn’t help, though, because with each inhale, he got the scent of the daisies in her hair and a hint of something sharper, much like the woman herself—delicate on the outside with an inner mettle that everyone else seemed to overlook.
But not him. He’d noticed it from the beginning, as obvious as a flash in the dark.
Avery Flynn: USA Today bestselling romance author Avery Flynn has three slightly-wild children, loves a hockey-addicted husband and is desperately hoping someone invents the coffee IV drip.
She fell in love with romance while reading Johanna Lindsey’s Mallory books. It wasn’t long before Avery had read through all the romance offerings at her local library. Needing a romance fix, she turned to Harlequin’s four books a month home delivery service to ease the withdrawal symptoms. That worked for a short time, but it wasn’t long before the local book stores’ staffs knew her by name.
Avery was a reader before she was a writer and hopes to always be both. She loves to write about smartass alpha heroes who are as good with a quip as they are with their *ahem* other God-given talents. Her heroines are feisty, fierce and fantastic. Brainy and brave, these ladies know how to stand on their own two feet and knock the bad guys off theirs.

Butterface by USA Today Bestselling Author Avery Flynn is a story about acceptance, love, and finding the courage to follow your heart without caring what other think. A wedding planner and a cop are about to find out what happens when they find love in the least suspecting place.
Gina Luca is tired of being the laugh of the party or the joke to laugh at. Can she finally find a man who will love her and stand up to anyone who challenges her beauty? A woman with drive, focus and passion and a family who will protect her at all costs, can they save her heart from being shattered into a million pieces?
Ford Hartigan will overcome obstacles to find love. What will happen when a plan to solve a crime implodes? The truth always comes out and sometimes even the best cops can’t see what’s right in front of them.
Games, wicked chemistry and a cast of characters make this a must read book that will hook you from the first page. I loved the opening scene, it was emotional, exciting, and full of all the sexy witty one-liners we love from Avery.
Have you ever felt inadequate with one or more features? We are all human and this book delves into that black hole, how we see ourselves and how others see us. Is it possible for the sexy hot guy to fall in love with someone who considers themselves average and the center of one to many pranks?
True love looks beyond our physical features, doesn’t care about our imperfections, it embraces them. Avery has taken a topic and made it relatable, loveable, and sexy.
This spicy adventure is best enjoyed with your favorite iced-beverage, a cozy chair, and maybe a fan. I received an ARC from Entangled Publishing for a fair and honest

Welcome newbies and seasoned travel veterans to Authors Dish. With less than a week until Romance Writers of America 2019 I’m curious what authors and industry professionals always include in their suitcases, what they stash in their conference bag to avoid hunger pains and the things they forget once and hopefully never again.
While some of the authors contributing are not attending, we love they want to hang out and play. We hope their words of wisdom help to ease any anxiety you might have getting all the things in your suitcase.
May these posts inspire you to shop early, make your lists, and triple check so you are prepared for just about anything. If you’re heading to #RWA19 soon comment below so we can meet up in NYC.
As the conference is almost upon us, this is the last post of author fun. Thank you to all who have dished and those who are still sharing their wisdom. Stay tuned for more comments and follow the blog so you don’t miss these posts.
Today in the cafe are New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jennifer Probst, USA Today Bestselling Author Avery Flynn and Author Delancey Stewart
Rae: What five things do you have to pack when attending a conference?
Jennifer Probst:
I know everyone gets tired of hearing it but: comfortable shoes! Oh, Lord, have I regretted stumbling around in my cute heels just because I never get a chance to wear them! Then I always have LipSense Lip Gloss to reapply throughout the day, swag to give out to readers or other authors with your website on it *business cards are fine too!*, battery charger *I actually use the one I received from the RWA conference years ago!* and finally, pens. Always be prepared with a pen, my peeps!
Avery Flynn:
1.Pajamas (yes I’ve forgotten before).
2. Snacks for the room.
3. An extra outfit because of my ability to spill on everything.
4. Flip flops/slides/ballet slippers for when the heels have done me in.
5. An extra suitcase for all the books I’m taking home.
Delancey Stewart: my laptop, deodorant, something to write on/with, chaptstik, and my most outgoing happy-to-be-peopling personality (this one takes a lot of energy, so I can’t use it all the time!)
Rae: What is your snack attack must haves in your day bag?
Jennifer: I’m not a big snacker! But my go to is a Kind bar – they’re not packed full of sugar and junk – you need good fuel at a conference lol. But there’s nothing wrong with a little chocolate like a Hershey Kiss or Dove bar – yum!
Avery: I love RX bars! Highly recommend.
Delancey: I like Raisinets. But I have learned that eating a while box has certain… ramifications… we will say no more about this.
Rae:What’s the one thing you forget to pack and swear to remember next time?
Jennifer: Hair spray/finishing product. And then my hair frizzes like crazy and I cannot believe I brought nothing to tame it!
Avery: I have forgotten just about everything. Thank god Kimberly Kincaid was generous and shared when I’d forgotten deodorant.
Delancey: If I could remember what the thing was, I would never forget to pack it. This is a question that can only be answered at the conference. Once I forgot underwear. That wasn’t good.
Rae: Thank you so much authors! Readers, what’s the ONE thing you always forget and swear to include next time when you travel? How do you make sure that you remember ;).
I’ll be keeping a running list and will post it a week before #RWA19 so that hopefully no one needs to make a quick run to the lobby market or drug store around the corner. I’ll see you soon for new authors and more ideas!
