Book Review: In Like Flynn by Emma Lea

The Playbook Series Book 1

Alcohol, getting dumped and a smart phone were not a good mix.

Peyton Sheppard thought her world was just weeks away from being perfect. The future she had always dreamed about was within her grasp - the perfect guy, the perfect wedding, the perfect house in the suburbs. That was until her fiancé ran off and married a Las Vegas showgirl. To say she was a bit miffed was perhaps an understatement. Still, an ill-advised video uploaded to Facebook shouldn’t have meant the end of her life as she knew it. Flynn Devereaux loved his life just the way it was, thank you very much. He was not at all impressed when his editor insisted he do a blog series on the woman whose meltdown went viral. The absolute last thing he needed - or wanted - was to try and get her to fall in love with him because of some ridiculous bet made on national television. But what was a guy to do? A challenge was a challenge and maybe he could limit the humiliation that was sure to follow both of them during the fallout of said challenge. He didn’t believe in love or happily-ever-after and she was done with the whole husband, marriage, white picket fence thing so there was no chance of either of them falling in love…

*This is a Too Hot to Handle Romance on the Emma Lea rating scale - These are definitely 18+ reads and contain graphic sex scenes and high level swearing – not for the faint of heart

My Review:

Dear heavens. If it wasn’t for bad luck, Peyton would have no luck at all. She could, in fact, be the poster child for Murphy’s Law. As soon as Flynn took the assignment, my vindictive little heart chortled with glee and got malicious pleasure out of the thought "you're about to be in so much trouble, mister". The angel on one shoulder fainted and the devil on the other fell off because she was laughing so hard. I love this kind of set up: design your experiment to disprove the theory. You know from the very beginning that the whole thing is going to go down in a blaze of glory, but if it’s done right it’s going to be so much fun to watch it fall apart. This book is exactly what I was hoping it would be. The chemistry between Peyton and Flynn sparkles from the page and their witty, snappy banter left me gasping for breath. Even though I thought I knew what was going to happen, I was still hooked waiting to see how it would play out. And there are several delightful little twists that I never saw coming. I suspect I’m about to play catch-up to read the series that leads into this one that I haven’t had the pleasure of reading yet, while waiting impatiently for the next book to come out. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book via Booksprout.
