He is in town looking for a relative he never knew existed. Avery is a nutritionalist at the local retirement facility. When a random dog ruins Avery&#8217;s morning, that is just the beginning of what is shaping up to be the WORST DAY EVER! As if the heat weren&#8217;t enough, the power for half the town goes out and that lands Avery with a few temporary roommates. This book has 2 love stories in one which was a wonderful added bonus. I also loved the magic that seemed to keep happening. This was a great afternoon read.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Escape into addictive, sexy, emotional M\/M romance.<\/p>\n<p>A.D. Ellis is an Indiana girl, born and raised. She spends much of her time in central Indiana as an instructional coach\/teacher in the inner city of Indianapolis, being a mom to two amazing teens, and wondering how she and her husband of over two decades haven&#8217;t driven each other insane yet. A lot of her time is also devoted to phone call avoidance and her hatred of cooking.<\/p>\n<p>She loves chocolate, hot tea, sweet wine with friends, pizza, and naps along with reading and writing romance. These loves don\u2019t leave much time for housework, much to the chagrin of her husband. Who would pick cleaning the house over a nap or a good book? She uses any extra time to increase her fluency in sarcasm.<\/p>\n<p>A.D. uses she\/they pronouns.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up at http:\/\/www.subscribepage.com\/ADEllisNewsMMRomance for a FREE male\/male romance book.<\/p>\n<p>FREE books&#8211; sign up at bit.ly\/ADEllisNews for a FREE male\/female romance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avery Kirk is back in his small hometown ready to tackle his dream career as a dietician.
