I never dreamed I’d meet my celebrity crush
while stealing every single pair of my best friend’s pants.
while stealing every single pair of my best friend’s pants.
Trust me, my life is not that wild. In fact, the most excitement I usually get is running my fan-favorite Insta thirst account featuring butt-tastic pics of Hollywood superhero Carter Hayes. So, imagine my shock when, in the middle of the cruise ship hallway, I realize the guy whose shirt I'm stuffing slacks inside of is Carter disguised as a tourist.
How I manage not to faint dead away, I've got no clue.
How I manage not to faint dead away, I've got no clue.
When word leaks that Carter might be on board, he asks me to help him maintain his cover. There’s no way I’m gonna say no to that. I just don't share that I’m the anonymous woman behind the fan account that reported sighting him onboard. No biggie. Right?
However, when things between us go from friendly to hot to OMG-I-can’t-keep-my-clothes-on-around-him, all I can do is hope he never discovers my secret. You see, somewhere along the way, Carter went from an untouchable movie star to the man I’m falling for.
~ BOOK REVIEW for Attracting Aubrey ~
***(3) out of 5 Stars!
This book was good, let's start with that. It jumps right into the action, with Carter catching Aubrey in the middle of pranking her friend. And, of course, she draws him right into the thick of things. The two click instantly and there's a fun vibe between with some playful banter and basic push-and-pull interactions. Things progress from there in a rather haphazard but mostly believable sequence of events.
I did find it hard to believe though that Aubrey basically blew off her best friends from college for pretty much the entire cruise. Especially since the only reason that she suppposedly went on it in the first place was to hang out with them. I get that she's instead spending time with this great new guy that she is crazy about, but I would have expected at least a bit more interaction with her buddies.
There were a smattering of love scenes that were pretty hot, but the chemistry between these two just didn't seem to jump off the page as much as it might have. I've read other works by this author that I quite enjoyed, and I just felt that this one could have somehow been... more.
Regardless of that, the story is a fairly good one, with this fun couple getting to know one another (even if under some false pretenses). The near end was a bit rough, and rather extreme in some aspects. But at least it did have a cute and totally believeable happily-ever-after ending.
I've never been too convinced that a cruise would really be for me. And with the recent problems due to illness outbreaks and such, I'm now even less inclined to try one. So this book served as a nice alternative adventure in that regard. I got to stay safe and sound on dry land while getting to vicariously experience some of the more fun aspects.

Each of the standalone romances in the Gone Wild series are written by a different author. I'd be interested to read the others in order to discover what type of experience the other characters of this group had on their cruise.

About 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’ staff 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.
