Back in the Burbs
by
Avery Flynn & Tracy Wolff
is now live!
Ever have one of those days where life just plain sucks? Welcome to my last three months--ever since I caught my can't-be-soon-enough ex-husband cheating with his paralegal. I'm thirty-five years old, and I've lost my NYC apartment, my job, my money, and frankly, my dignity.
But the final heartache in the suck sandwich of my life? My great-aunt Maggie died. The only family member who's ever gotten me.
Even after death, though, she's helping me get back up. She's willed me the keys to a house in the burbs, of all places, and dared me to grab life by the family jewels. Well, I've got the vise grips already in hand (my ex should take note) and I'm ready to fight for my life again.
Too bad that bravado only lasts as long as it takes to drive into Huckleberry Hills. And see the house.
There are forty-seven separate HOA violations, and I feel them all in my bones. Honestly, I'm surprised no one's "accidentally" torched the house yet. I want to, and I've only been standing in front of it for five minutes. But then my hot, grumpy neighbor tells me to mow the lawn first and I'm just...done. Done with men too sexy for their own good and done with anyone telling me what to do.
First rule of surviving the burbs? There is nothing that YouTube and a glass of wine can't conquer.

MY THOUGHTS
Meet Mallory Martin Bach. She’s 35, unemployed, her ex has swindled her out of her fair share of their divorce settlement, and she’s had to move back in with her parents. Ouch! And if that wasn’t enough, her Great Aunt Maggie – her only supportive family member - has recently died.
Yet even in death, Maggie is looking out for Mallory. She has willed Mallory her property. It’s not in the greatest of condition, but for now it’s hers and Mallory is treating this windfall as the first step towards a brand new life: A life where she calls the shots.
There is, however, a very big obstacle to this plan: Nick Holloway. Neighbour and president of the Homeowner's Association (HOA) that has issued scores of outstanding violations on the house Mallory has inherited. That he’s a hottie and revs Mallory’s engines is inconvenient, to say the least.
I know of Avery Flynn & Tracy Wolff as independent romance book authors. With BACK IN THE BURBS they’ve moved very much into the women’s fiction sphere, and have done a commendable job. The story is engaging and there are a few interesting twists. The various themes in the book are well integrated into the story. I would have liked more of a focus on Nick because I don’t think his attraction to Mallory was fully explored. The writing flowed smoothly, and I could not tell the book was written by two authors.
