MY REVIEW
Trouble by Adriana Locke is sassy, smart and fun. It has memorable and sweet characters that you will not forget Avery has moved from Los Angeles to a small town, where she once had a one-night stand with a kind stranger, in hopes of forging her own life away from her demanding parents. She wishes nothing but to be loved and accepted for who she is and not for what connections she can give. Penn is known as a playboy. He is even quoted as saying he is allergic to monogamy. When they meet, Avery recognizes Penn right away but realizes he does not recognize her. She is embarrassed and saddened to realize that he does not remember her. But, that doesn’t stop Penn. He is full speed ahead. He wants Avery. Unlike every other woman, this time it’s different. This time he will need to overcome his fear of monogamy if he wishes to win the girl. Will Avery tell Penn who she is? Can Penn ever want something more that just a one-night stand? Penn is charming and sweet. He is so endearing. He had me smirking and laughing throughout the book. The flirtatious banter between Avery and Penn will make you smirk and your heart swoon. Throughout the banter, the sparks fly. Her aunt Harper is cool and down to earth. Avery and Penn's honesty towards each other from the get-go is refreshing. There is no misunderstanding what each of them wants from life and each other. It’s how to get what they want from each other while fulfilling what they need that causes a problem. The story flowed so well and is completely engaging. Definitely one-click material! I received an ARC via NetGalley of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
