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

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.

To set this up, Gina Luca and Ford Hartigan are at a wedding and there is a Kiss Cam and an open bar…yes, you read that right.
“I’m not kissing you.”
Unlike Gina, while the wedding guests continued to call for a kiss, he didn’t bother to hide his scowl. Of course, that just made him look even sexier. “Why not?”
Reasons! She clamped her mouth shut before that inanity escaped and called it a victory. Knowing the right thing to say at the right time had never been one of her gifts, so the fact that she managed to keep her trap shut was a total win. When he raised one dark eyebrow in question, she scrambled to come up with something besides because you’re too hot.
“I’m working,” she said.
Ford cocked his head and gave her some premium cop face, that blank suspicious stare that all but screamed you’re full of s%^t. “You don’t think our fine groom, Porter, was on shift when he met Meg at the emergency room after a guy he was arresting took a swing at him with a two-by-four? It’s just a kiss, and then they’ll move on to the next victim.”
She turned her attention back to the big screen display of this horribly awkward moment rather than meeting Ford’s unwavering gaze.
“Do not disrespect the Kiss Cam, Hartigan!” someone bellowed out as the chanting crowd grew more restless. And louder.
“One quick kiss,” he said, his tone grim with a thread of something more vulnerable underneath. “Then, they’ll leave us alone.”

Jan 31, 2018 | Avery Flynn, Blog, Coffee With, January 2018
Rae: Thank you for hanging out with me. First, if we were meeting at a coffee shop I’d be drinking an spiced Latte with Coconut Milk with chocolate drizzle, what would you order?
Avery: I’m a black coffee girl. Give me the caffeine and nothing else!
Rae: You are currently serving on the Romance Writers of America Board of Directors in the position Director-at-Large. Has that changed how you view the industry?
Avery: Oh wow, being an RWA director is definitely eye opening. I am amazed by the dedication of the folks on the board.
Rae: What’s the best advice you can give to a newbie writer attending a chapter meeting or the Romance Writers of America annual conference in Denver?
Avery: As for advice, I say go for it, get to that meeting! You will never regret getting to hang out with and learn from some of the best in our profession.
Rae: Let’s talk books – first, congratulations on your upcoming release of The Schemer in your Harbor City Romance series. What was the inspiration for this series and will there be more mischief and shenanigans in the foreseeable future?
Avery: Mischief and shenanigans??? ALWAYS! 🙂 This series really was a brain child of Liz Pelletier and myself. We shot a ton of book ideas back and forth before hitting on the perfect idea with The Negotiator. And, of course, every good hero like Sawyer Carlyle in The Negotiator needs a hot brother with a secret like Hudson Carlyle in The Charmer. Plus, he needs a best friend turned enemy like Tyler Jacobson in The Schemer. I really love the Harbor City Romance series. It’s a series that makes you smile, tear up a bit and will really steam up your eReader.
Rae: Your backlist is extensive with multiple series and standalone reads. What can we expect in 2018? Will there be more books from current series, or new ones in the works? That being said, how do you keep all of your worlds and characters from crossing over?
Avery: I love world crossovers! These characters all live together in my head so why not on the page too? That’s exactly what happens in 2018 with my Hartigans series. If you’ve read The Charmer, you know the Hartigans are Felicia’s crazy Irish family from across the harbor in Waterbury. They’re just so much fun to write. You’ll get three Hartigans books in 2018 PLUS something totally new from me in the form of a super sexy hero who has to *am tackled by the good people at Entangled Publishing* … Sorry about that, but they won’t let me tell you more. What a bunch of meanies. 🙂
Rae: As a reader who appreciates a book where the cover just screams “read me” despite not reading the blurb, are you involved in any of the design process? FYI – your covers are super sexy and scream “one-click” so please let your team know.
Avery: Right? The folks at Entangled and the designers who work on my indie covers are AMAZING!!! I’m lucky and have input on my covers no matter who is punishing.
Rae: Writing all the words is a challenge, do you have a writing ritual or secret location to get the work done?
Avery: Sheer deadline panic? Stop laughing, that’s pretty much my go to.
Rae: How do you tackle plotting your series? Is it on a massive board, sheets of paper or just write as you go with a simple outline? A lot of authors use Pinterest and make awesome boards to tease readers, are you one of them?
Avery: I am a total plotter but mine is all words, no Pinterest for me.
Rae: When you are not busy writing, you keep readers updated on social media, what are your favorite types of posts, pics, or tweets?
Avery: I am a social media freak – probably a little too much unless I’m under deadline. Twitter is for the snark and fashion commentary. Instagram is pics of my pooches. Facebook is really my favorite place to chat with my fellow romance readers!
Rae: What can we expect to see on the bookshelves in the upcoming months?
Avery: You’ll get the first of the Hartigans books in April so be on the look out!
Rae: Where can readers find you in 2018?
Avery: I’ll be at Rebels Hit the Road in Annapolis, Barbara Vey, RT, RWA and more!
Rae: Thank you for hanging out in the cafe today.
Avery: Thank you so much for having me!
