How exactly has one good deed landed me in the penalty box?
Tomboy, an all-new, sexy romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn, is available now!
Ice Knights defenseman Zach Blackburn has come down with the flu, and my
BFF—his PR manager—begs me to put my nursing degree to use and get him back to
health. Of course she would call in a favor for the most hated man in Harbor
City.
But when he’s finally on the mend and I’m sneaking out of his place,
everything goes sideways. Paparazzi spot me and pictures, plus accusations that
I slept with him, fly faster than a hockey puck.
At first, all of Harbor City wants my blood—or to give me a girlie-girl
makeover. But then…the team finally wins a game. And now this fickle town wants
me with the big jerk twenty-four seven.
Argh. I never slept with him the first time! But no one will listen.
Then the grumpy bastard goes and promises to break his no-fan-appearances rule
to help raise money for a free health clinic—but only if I’m rink-side at every
game. That’s not a deal I can turn down.
But when the team keeps winning, and I realize there’s more to him than
his bad reputation, suddenly remembering to keep my real hands off my fake date
gets harder and harder to do.

Excerpt:
The blaring ring echoed off the bare walls of the
nearly empty mansion as Fallon Hartigan marched down the hallway with murder on
her mind.
As soon as she got to the source of that ringing, she
was going to give Harbor City what they wanted most and kill the most-hated man
in hockey. Sure, she might get arrested, but the metro area would probably
throw her a parade. She turned the corner and stopped dead in her tracks
outside the open double doors leading to the overpriced defenseman’s bedroom.
The man—who’d been puking his guts up less than
twenty-four hours ago—was in the middle of a king-size bed, wearing nothing but
a smirk and a bed sheet that was draped so low across his hips that she could
see miles of those V lines south of his hard abs. Like she was a newbie nurse
on her first set of rounds, her breath caught, and a blush she most definitely
did not want to appear started to burn her cheeks. Damn her pasty Irish skin.
Still, she had to admit, if only to herself, that the
view was fucking amazing. The man was a professional athlete and had the
muscular, inked-up chest to prove it. Practically against her will, her gaze
traveled over the plentiful ink across his pecs and lingered a few breaths too
long on his silver nipple rings.
Seemingly indifferent to her perusal, Zach swiped his
thumb across his cell phone’s screen, ending the incessant ringing.
“About time,” he said, his voice a mellow, low rumble.
“I’ve been ringing for you for almost ten minutes.”
He dropped his phone on the small table next to the
bed and then lounged against the headboard, managing somehow to look down his
nose at her even with their current height differential.
Forget killing him, she was going to go after her
bestie. It was Lucy’s fault Fallon was even here.
She squeezed her eyes shut and counted to ten as she
recalled all the reasons why the man was a menace and not the solution to her
three-month-long sexual dry spell.
He was a selfish player.
He was surly to the press, to the fans, and probably
to his neighbor’s dog.
He’d banged a puck bunny tattooed with the logo of the
Ice Knights’ most hated rival.
She counted to another ten while remembering why she
couldn’t off him.
He was Lucy’s client.
He was, for some incomprehensible reason, one of her
bestie’s friends.
He had the skills to turn around the Ice Knights’
sofar shitty season if he could remove the giant chip from his shoulder and
start playing as if he actually liked hockey again.
Exhaling a deep breath, she reopened her eyes and
barely noticed his muscular shoulders this time as she moved away from the
door.
There. All better.
She’d managed to pack away the Hartigan attitude, and
her temper hadn’t even made an appearance. Bully for her. Now to get back to
that cool, clinical demeanor she strove for whenever she was on the clock.
“You rang?” she asked, managing to keep a good 73
percent of her annoyance out of her tone as she walked farther into the room.
Review by Gia:
I loved this one. Tomboy is a the third book in The Hartigans series but it can be read as a standalone. The Hartigans are a big crazy family. This is the first book I read and the series but I now want to read more of the series. Fallon Hartigan is a down to earth girl. She's not a girly girl. She's dealt with a lot as her job as a nurse so she kind of gives it to you like it is. Zach is a hockey player. Zach sexy and a little broody. He's kind of got a bad rep and isn't living up to his hockey skills. Fallon gets suckered by her friend into looking after Zach when he's sick. These two have great chemistry. This one was a fun sweet read.

About Avery
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’ staffs 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.
