I honestly love The Harbor City series and hope that it, somehow, continues. It’s light, funny, sexy and just downright fabulous. ~ Kitty, Guilty Pleasures
Blurb:
Tyler Jacobson has a plan for everything—except how to handle his completely annoying, utterly frustrating, and totally sexy upstairs neighbor. He couldn’t care less if Everly Ribinski thinks he’s equally irritating—until he discovers she’s the only one who can help him land a business deal that will finally make him feel like he’s more than just a guy from the wrong side of the tracks.
Color him shocked when Everly refuses to help, insisting she should have run him over in the parking garage when she had the chance. Harsh. But possibly deserved. Tyler may have spent the last few months reveling in annoying the fiery gallery owner with a dark past, but he’s got secret leverage she can’t refuse.
If only one meeting didn’t turn into a fake date that turned into more. Way more. Like naked and hot as hell more.
The last thing either of them wants is to catch feelings for someone who is so obviously not their type. Good thing that will never happen. Right?
Each book in the Harbor City series is STANDALONE:
* The Negotiator
* The Charmer
* The Schemer
When I didn’t think Avery Flynn could do better than The Negotiator and The Charmer, she brings us The Schemer. Unbelievable! The
Schemer was everything that I hoped it would be. I was so sorry to see it end but was really happy with the surprise. You couldn’t have shocked me more.
Tyler and Everly were hysterical throughout this story. Too bad she didn’t hide who she was or where she came from since that was Tyler’s goal in life. He needs to show everyone that he is bigger and better than being from a dysfunctional family on the other side of the tracks. He’s been hurt in the past and will never give his heart away again. So, having some fun with Everly will be the perfect solution since neither one of them are looking for a relationship. But, being the schemer that he is, he is going to have to come up with a big one to get Everly to help him and to get her into his bed.
Everly has been nothing but annoyed with her scheming downstairs neighbor. Taking her parking space, burning everything that he puts on the stove and flipping that damn quarter … there is only so much she can take before she ends up in his bed. But, when she finds out the truth about him, she’s had enough. Then, why does she defend him and his honor when he is being dissed by that bitch engaged to Carlo? Why does what his thinks matter to her?
These two had me laughing out loud. I was literally waiting to see what they were gong to do next. From the Harley to the Raccoon to the cooking classes, I was smiling to the point my cheeks hurt. I was thrilled that the Carlyle’s were all back. Now, who they were supporting throughout this story is still unclear. And, in the end, the biggest schemer of them all, Helene, got exactly what she was hoping to get … and a little more. But, this time she had an accomplice to her matchmaking that was definitely an asset.
So, from the art gallery to the boardroom, Tyler and Everly stole my heart. I’ve always thought that, without good secondary characters, we would just have dialogue between two people and that would be really boring. The ones that Avery Flynn brought into the story both influenced and supported Tyler and Everly and were insightful and funny. I honestly love The Harbor City series and hope that it, somehow, continues. It’s light, funny, sexy and just downright fabulous.
