Blog Tour + Review: "Audrey's Inn" by Elle Aycart

Today, I'm delighted to participate in the blog tour celebrating the release of "Audrey's Inn" by Elle Aycart, book #3 of The OGs series. Characters from the previous books in the series make appearances in this one, but it reads as a complete standalone.

 

"Audrey's Inn" was a sweet yet steamy small town romance featuring likeable, well-developed characters and an engaging plot complete with a twist that I did not see coming. The banter and chemistry between main characters Connor Stonewell and Audrey Fleming was pitch perfect, and I loved how they accepted and supported each other through thick and thin. Both Connor and Audrey had been through more than their fair share of trauma in the past; my heart broke for Connor in particular, whose experiences in the military and resulting PTSD were more than most people (myself included) would have been able to overcome. I found it very easy to cheer them on to their HEA.

Connor's grandmother Greta and her two best friends, nicknamed the "Original Grandmas" ("OGs") by their grandchildren, were just as much fun (and trouble) in this story as they were in the previous books of the series. Early on, they seemed a little more subdued than usual due to the looming threat of Greta's competency hearing, but they made up for it in the end!

In summary, "Audrey's Inn" gave me all the feels and I loved it. I highly recommend this book for fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. I'm sad to see the series come to an end, but I look forward to whatever Elle Aycart writes next.

About "Audrey's Inn"

Audrey Fleming never had much of a family or place to call home, so when she gets the chance to buy an inn that once belonged to her late namesake, she doesn’t think twice. Never mind her lack of funds, connections, and experience. Besides, she’s out of options and Alden seems like the ideal place to lie low for a good long while.

Connor Stonewell, beloved grandson of Greta, OG extraordinaire, was once one of Alden’s Golden Boys. Now he’s a hot mess. He’d never envisioned a future where he wasn’t in the military, so getting discharged after a mission gone horribly wrong has left him adrift in the civilian world.

He’s too dangerous to be around his fellow soldiers—never mind a certain sweet, sexy innkeeper he can’t seem to stay away from. He should stop playing with fire. Pack his shit and disappear for good. Too bad he can’t do it. Walking away from Audrey is something every fiber of his being refuses to do.

Their secrets will sooner or later catch up with them. Audrey and Connor both know it. But whether they’ll survive or crash and burn under the weight of revelation is anybody’s guess.
