This book does have Ugly Duckling vibes, and normally I hate that with the fire of a thousand suns. Cue Luke going about his pursuit of Ava with single-minded intensity, which is always the best part of a KA book. Two, the chemistry between them is now off the charts. When Ava goes to see him, she quickly realises two things: one, he’s still mad she ghosted him. She can’t really bear to see him again and be reminded of who she used to be, even though that means she’s ghosted him.īut now her best friend Sissy needs help divorcing a mafia man and Luke – as the employee of a bounty hunting/mercenary type agency – is the best man for the job. She isn’t any more, but she’s still spent the last 5 years avoiding 32-year-old Lucas Stark, her childhood friend and lifelong crush. Even then I did cringe at the heroines’ immaturity, the plentiful OW drama, and the heroes’ ridiculously macho-man language, but the books always delivered my main requirement: a believable romance with heroes who demonstrate their attachment to the heroine.Ģ8-year-old Ava Barlow used to be seriously overweight. This is one of the few KA books I still enjoy.īack when I was maybe 15 or 16, I LOVED the Rock Chick series. He has handcuffs and he’s not afraid to use them. The clash of the Rock Chick and Hot Bunch Guy begins, but Luke’s got the advantage. And just like that, Luke isn’t about to give in to Ava’s brush off. The problem is, Ava and Luke find themselves in a house torn apart in a hail of gunfire. Luke knows she’s up to something and he’s already seen many a Rock Chick try to fight her own battles without the Hot Bunch stepping in.
Since Luke Stark, Ava’s childhood crush, is now a badass mother, she thinks to enlist him, but changes her mind at the last second. She has reason and she’s vowed not only never to get involved with another man again, but also to exact vengeance on her best friend’s lying, cheating, rat-bastard husband.
