ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 8, 2026

As the eldest daughter of the magical Sherwood family, I’m supposed to have everything together. Well, joke’s on them—I, Effie Sherwood, am chaos incarnate, and you’ll never be able to guess my next move.

Like jumping on the back of Darius Aetos’ motorcycle. Not only is Darius grumpy, gruff, and hot, he’s also the head of the Aetos werewolf pack.

My spur of the moment decision has quickly become a much bigger commitment, because a pack elder is convinced this hunk of a man (or wolf, depending on the hour) is my fated mate.

Even though I’m a witch and he’s a werewolf, we’re stuck together until we can find our way out of the tricky pack politics. But under the light of the blue moon, it’s almost starting to feel like Darius doesn’t want to stay away from me. And I’m not sure if it’s my magic going haywire or the starlit skies, but I can’t imagine leaving his arms either.

REVIEW: Hexy Beast is pure Avery Flynn chaos in the best possible way, the kind of book that grabs you by the collar, throws you onto the back of a motorcycle, and refuses to let go until you’ve laughed, blushed, and maybe questioned a few of your life choices. 😜

Effie Sherwood is the eldest daughter of a powerful witch family who is supposed to have her life together, yet she is unapologetically a walking disaster.

Jumping onto the motorcycle of Darius Aetos, the buttoned up, grumpy head of a werewolf pack, is exactly the sort of impulsive decision that defines her, and it is also the moment everything starts spiraling in the most entertaining direction.

The fated mates twist lands with perfect timing. A pack elder decides these two are meant to be, and suddenly the witch and the werewolf are locked into pack politics neither of them asked for.

What should feel like an inconvenience instead becomes a forced proximity trope delight, where their differences crackle.

Darius is all structure and control, (and don’t forget those low growls….. ) Effie is magic that refuses to behave and a personality that delights in poking the bear, or in this case, the wolf.

Their banter is sharp and constant, the kind that makes you smile at the page even while the tension between them builds under every blue moon glance and accidental touch.

The tone light and spicy without ever letting the story feel too silly. The pack politics add just enough external pressure to keep the stakes real, while the chemistry between Effie and Darius crackles.

There is instalust they both try (and fail) to ignore, slowburning emotional pull that sneaks up on them, and enough magical mayhem and quirky side characters to make the world feel fun.

By the time the blue moon is high and neither of them wants to walk away, the romance made me smile, which is exactly how a good fated mates story should land.

If you loved the Sherwood Witches books for their humor, heat, and chaotic energy, this one delivers more of the same while giving the eldest sister her moment in the spotlight.

It is funny, steamy, and completely unconcerned with being quiet or sensible.

Sometimes love really is its own beast, and in Hexy Beast that beast is loud, messy, and impossible not to root for.

I absolutely loved it.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 2, 2025

When two witches with a tangled history are forced to team up, it spells disaster in this steamy rom-com from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn.

It’s the curse of every family’s heir to be the responsible one. My family being the most powerful family in all of Witchingdom doesn’t eliminate that fact, it only makes it worse—and that’s why I, Leona Amber Sherwood, never do the unexpected. Except for that one time I did.

Believe me, I have rued the day that I got married in a midnight ceremony under a full moon to Erik Svensen, the heir to my family’s deepest, bitterest enemies, and now, he won’t agree to a divorce unless we return an ancient spell book to his family’s secured facility.

But on our road trip to return the book, I learn more about Erik as we encounter trolls, nymphs, satyrs, and more. The longer we work together, the more I’m convinced that he might not be the evil trickster I assumed he was. Any more time together will leave me even more enchanted with my husband and that’s the last thing I want. And if I keep telling myself that, maybe I’ll start to believe it.

•••••••

REVIEW: Avery Flynn casts a spell of laughter, magic, and unexpected romance in, “Head Witch in Charge.”

This book follows Leona Amber Sherwood, the responsible heir of the most powerful witch family, as she embarks on a wild road trip with her estranged husband, Erik Svensen!

Their task? To return an ancient spell book to his family!

From the start, the author paints a vibrant world with magical creatures like trolls, nymphs, and satyrs, each encounter had me either chuckling or face palming and groaning. What begins as a reluctant partnership slowly transforms as Leona discovers layers to Erik’s character, challenging her notions of him as merely a “bad guy.” His family is painted as the bad witches! Always finding a way to manipulate any situation.

Meeting in Vegas, they end up hand fasting to one another! Then she finds out who Erik really is, hence the estranged part.
Struggling with her feelings and family expectations, she grapples with the thought of rekindling a romance that she knows is impossible. But this road trip has her finding out more about both herself and Erik, they really be sworn enemies?

I liked how Leona tells the story, she’s not happy that she’s the responsible one, but someone has to do it! As they confront magical obstacles, the couple’s relationship takes dips and turns. The will they won’t they keeps you turning the pages.

Erik tells you from the start he’s not a good guy, his family is full of liars/cheaters/schemers and opportunists! So was meeting Leona a weak moment? Or was it all a ploy from the very start? 🤐

With laugh-out-loud moments that are effortlessly balanced by deeper emotional moments. The pacing flows smoothly, while allowing us to savor the magical world she’s crafted. The supporting characters, such as quirky nymphs and mischievous trolls, add to the mayhem.
Both Cupcake and Barkley hold a special place in my heart. 😊

“Head Witch in Charge”, is a delightful addition to the series that combines steamy romance with captivating adventure.

Whether you’re a fan of fantasy, rom-coms, or just looking for a fun escape, this book delivers all the enchanting elements i crave.

With its engaging plot, lovable characters, and a sprinkle of magical mayhem, Avery Flynn has brewed up a captivating tale that is sure to leave you bewitched. 😉

Grab your broomstick and settle in for this delightful ride, it’s a magical journey you won’t want to miss!

ABOUT THE BOOK:Release Date August 25, 2020

I can’t believe I have to go home to Nebraska for my sister’s wedding. I’m gonna need a wingman and a whole lot of vodka for this level of family interaction. At least my bestie agreed he’d man up and help. Too bad he had to catch a different flight than me. Then his plane got delayed. And finally—because bad things always happen in threes—instead of my best friend, his evil twin strolls out of the airport.

If you looked up doesn’t-deserve-to-be-that-confident, way-too-hot-for-his-own-good billionaire in the dictionary, you’d find a picture of Will Holt. He’s awful. Horrible. The worst—even if his butt looks phenomenal in those jeans.

Ten times worse? My buffer was supposed to be there to keep me away from the million and one family events. But Satan’s spawn just grins and signs us up for every. Single. Thing.

Fine. “Cutthroat” Scrabble? I’m in. I can’t wait to take this guy down a notch.

But somewhere between Pictionary and the teasing glint in his eyes, our bickering starts to feel like more than just a game…

••••••••••••

REVIEW: If you want a laugh with your read, you can’t go wrong with an Avery Flynn book. I’ve read most of her work, and it always leaves me with a smile.

Written in the third persons point of view. We watch as Haley and Will do battle to see who comes out on top over a family member?

Haley Loves her best friend, but does she have to put up E.T (evil twin) or Mr Obnoxious all the time? He might be a billionaire, he might be the most eligible bachelor, but to Haley, he’s always be annoying. Will thinks that Haley is a gold digger, his twin might be her “best friend” but he knows better, he’s seen her type before, and he’s determined to get rid of her.

When an opportunity presents itself. Will is quick to capitalize on it. But what he gets is turned on his head, Haley is fun, kind and gentle. Did he really get it so wrong? And now Will wants her for himself, can he really do that to his brother?

It’s a laugh a minute, anything and everything that can go wrong does go wrong? Haley’s family is extremely close, and she finds that claustrophobic, she loves them dearly, just not 24/7! Thank goodness her best friend is coming to this wedding to pose as her boyfriend, but fates not that kind, it sends her nemesis in his place! And that’s when the trouble starts.

Will doesn’t think his twin and Haley’s friendship is just that, he thinks she’s after his money, so he’s going to expose her. But spending time with her exposes her not as a fraud, but a kind and caring person. I did have to chuckle, boy did he have a lot of making up to do……

Loved Haley’s family, they were crazy in a good way. Ready to pitch in and help, but they could drive you nuts within minutes! Games night? Was hilarious. Her grandfather was so funny. And when an old boyfriend of Haley’s turns up, is it relief that his brother won’t be fleeced by her or jealousy that it’s not him holding her hand?

So can Will see past his ex taking him for a ride? Can he get past his jealousy of his brother? Well technically Web and not Will have Haley in his life. And when he finds out she really isn’t a gold digger can he apologize and get Haley to forgive him?

I’ve come to love reading anything by this author. I couldn’t put it down till it was done. Highly recommend this book and this author.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 1, 2019

All I want is to play hockey on the Ice Knights, instead, I’m in a viral video for all the wrong reasons and my mom—yes, my mom—has taken over my dating apps. Then, when I think it can’t get any worse, the fates deliver Zara Ambrose, a five-feet-nothing redhead with more freckles than inches and who’d rather be anywhere other than on a date with me.

Now a bet with her friends and my PR nightmare have us both stuck in this go-on-five-dates-with-the-same-person hell situation. But if we band together, we can get the whole thing over with and go on with our lives. It’s perfect! No feelings. No future. No fuc— *ahem* fun. No naked fun.

What could go wrong? Nothing—as long as I remember the rules. Don’t notice the way she looks in a dress. Don’t react when she does that little shivery sigh thing whenever we touch. Don’t think about the fact that she’s never had a toe-curling orgasm that wasn’t self-delivered and just how badly I want to change that.

Five dates—that’s it—and then we go our separate ways. At least, that was the plan.

•••••••••

REVIEW: Reading the review had me chuckling. It sounded like a right laugh …..

Caleb is in deep bother, it wasn’t really him, but he should have stopped it. His team mates were moaning about the team, the lack of female groupies “puck bunnies” and everything else. Someone posted it and it’s gone viral, and now people are lip reading and posting what they said. It’s a PR’s nightmare…… they need to limit the damage the team have done to the image. And Caleb is going to have to step up and create a new interest for the fans.

Zara makes models, she has a shop on Etsy, but she wants to create one off’s, and show her work in a gallery, so Zara needs publicity. When her friend puts her on a dating site, a drunk Zara thinks it’s a good idea. Until she meets her “date”……

Together they have to “survive” five dates, those dates are to be public and then will go online. Easy ……

Except there is a problem, Caleb finds the more time he spends with Zara, the more time he thinks of doing naughty and non public things with her, it’s not in the contract, but he really wants more. And Zara wants the publicity for her art work, but being around Caleb is bad for her libido, she wants Caleb, but wanting and having is two different things.

It’s a fun read, laughing at the hilarious predicaments they find themselves in. The characters are likeable, and the situation they find themselves is hilarious, the research the author put in was shown with great enthusiasm, I could almost see myself there.

“So why are you on Bramble?”She took another small bite from her roll before answering. “My best friend is blackmailing me, and my dad wants a SAG card.”

That was definitely not the answer he’d been expecting. “And I thought my reasoning was twisted.”

“I’m sure it all makes sense in Gemma’s head,” Zara said. “She thinks I work too much and need to loosen up. She’ll let me be her plus-one to go meet a collector if I do the Bramble five dates thing. And my dad? Well, let’s just say he’s never met an unlikely plan he didn’t think he could pull off.”

All the possibilities this created sped around inside his head until one broke free like a perfect fast break late in the third period when the game was on the line. All he had to do was put the biscuit in the net.

“So neither of us really wants to be here,” he said. “We’re each other’s solution to getting back to our regular lives as soon as possible.”

It was fucking perfect. Petrov’s job with the team would be safe for another season—well, as safe as he could be, considering he didn’t have a no-trade deal in his contract.

Zara, though, didn’t seem to be seeing the genius of it, going by the suspicious look she gave him as she took another bite of her roll. Instead of giving him a straight-up no, though, she started eating. The words—okay, begging pleas—were bubbling up inside him but for once, he kept it in lockdown. He wasn’t about to rush this play, no matter how it had every nerve in his body jinglejangling.

Finally, she used her napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth, straightened her spine, and looked him dead in the eye. “We’d have to have ground rules.”

“Sure. Whatever you want.” Ice Knights season tickets? He’d make that happen. A photo op with her dad’s favorite player? Done. Whatever it took, he’d do it.

“This isn’t a real or fake relationship, it’s a temporary alliance,” she said without an ounce of humor in her tone. “I’m not pretending to be your girlfriend or the random chick you’re banging this week.”

“Agreed.” All of that sounded like it would cause more problems than it would solve anyway. “I’ve got a condition. Dressing up is not required. I’m not putting on a suit.”

The best thing about the off-season was not having to strangle himself with a tie multiple times a week just for a bus ride to the rink or a plane trip to another city. Coach Peppers was old-fashioned about doing things the original way.

“Fine.” Zara held up three fingers. “The third stipulation is that I’m not putting on a good attitude. If it’s been a crappy day, I don’t have to pretend to be a manic pixie dream girl.”

He snorted. “No one who’s met you would believe that. You’re a little salty.” That was putting it mildly based on her attitude when she showed up for their date.

“I have my reasons.” She added another finger, so she was holding up four. “Oh, and no making love. Sex?” She paused and looked him over quickly. “Maybe. Emotional, heartfelt, staring-each-other-in-the-eyes making love? Not gonna happen. No offense, but you’re not my type.”

What the hell? Not her type? He was a professional athlete making millions. He’d been led to believe he was everyone’s type.

“Not a problem, since I don’t think we could see eye to eye while having sex unless you magically grew a foot,” he said.

“You’re not into being creative?” Zara rolled her eyes. “I guess that’s expected for someone who has probably had women throwing themselves at him for years. You haven’t ever had to work for it.”

Caleb had no idea what to say to that. He’d been punched square in the face by the most feared goons in hockey and it hadn’t knocked him as senseless as this little five-foot-nothing of a snarky woman had done with a few choice words.

“I have one more rule,” she said, reaching for another roll. “Five dates and we’re done. Period. Do we have a deal?”
