Today, HJ is pleased to share with you Jennifer Probst’s new release: Love on Beach Avenue

 

Spotlight&Giveaway

 

True love is in the details for the Jersey shore’s premier wedding planner in this heart-swooning series about big dreams and happy endings from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.

 
Avery Sunshine might not have a soul mate of her own, but she still believes in happily ever after—for her clients. Making dreams come true is her business at Sunshine Bridal, which she runs with her two sisters. When her best friend announces her engagement, Avery is thrilled to take charge of the giddy bride-to-be’s big day. Less thrilling? The arrogant and demanding man of honor.
 
Carter Ross’s first instinct: call 911. He promised to always take care of his impulsive little sister, and he honors that vow. Even if it means taking over where he’s sure Avery will fail. At best, she’s unpredictable. At worst, if she’s anything like the spitfire of a college girl he remembers, the main event could run wild.
 
With Avery and Carter wrestling for control, tempers heat up. So does the spark of attraction they’re fighting with every kiss. As the wedding draws near, it’s time to reconcile a rocky past and make a decision that could change everyone’s lives. Because what they’re rebelling against looks a lot like love.

 

Enjoy an exclusive excerpt from Love on Beach Avenue 

“Want to go to dinner?”
She stared at him like he’d announced he wanted to take her to bed. Ever since they’d left the bakery, she’d gone back to the freeze treatment and just grunted at his occasional efforts at conversation. “No.”
He couldn’t help his gaze from lingering on the curve of her ass as she stalked in front of him, her heels clicking fast over the uneven sidewalk in her desperate need to be ahead. In the fashionable pencil skirt, her hips swayed and her lush buttocks were framed by the tight black fabric.
When had he begun thinking of her as sexy? She’d always been this annoying female hellion he wanted to keep in check around his sister. But these last few encounters, he’d felt a physical connection between them he’d never noticed before. Was it just the anger? Or something more?
He didn’t intend to back down easily. He had a need to explore this strange dynamic a bit more. “Why not?”
“Because I don’t like you.”
He grinned at her stark honesty. “You owe me dinner,” he reminded her. “Unless you renege on all your bets.”
That statement made her stop in her tracks. Her head jerked around, and she glared at him with an intense loathing he found kind of hot. What did they say about anger and passion being closely linked? Was it possible she felt the same odd connection but refused to acknowledge it?
“You are a horrible person. Are you seriously going to force me to take you to dinner? How about I give you my credit card and I just pay for it? You’re probably used to dining by yourself.”
He cocked his head and allowed her remark to sink in. “That was kind of mean.”
She muttered something under her breath. “You’re right. I’m sorry.”
“Apology accepted. Why don’t I make reservations at Peter Shields for tonight?”
“I’m sure they’re booked,” she said between gritted teeth. “Besides, I have to work.”
“Till what time?”
“All night.”
“When are your usual days off, then?”
She rolled her eyes as if he was ignorant. “None. I rarely take a day or evening off—there’s no time.”
He frowned at that. He worked a heavy schedule, too, but enjoyed unwinding with a book or a long walk with Lucy in the evenings. “Fine, let’s combine work with dinner. I’ll pick you up at eight. We can go over booking the bachelorette party.”
“You’re not listening. I have a big wedding this weekend, and I need to make sure every detail is covered. Besides, I should speak with Ally’s bridesmaids before solidifying any plans.”
“I already did. They decided to let me be in charge of the whole thing. They want to be surprised, so they gave me carte blanche on the whole thing. Isn’t that great?”
The look on her face almost made him laugh. She was so obviously not pleased with their decision. Those too-wide eyes filled with hot anger, and her mouth pressed into a tight line. Funny, he never noticed her lips made a plump bow, almost like a gift, painted in crimson red. The sudden image of those lips opening under his crashed through his brain, and his body stirred.
“I can only imagine how you got them to agree,” she said. “Are you really going to bust up your sister’s last chance to cut loose? Why don’t you gracefully bow out and let me handle it? The women really want to have fun.”
He shot her a hurt look. “I’m fun. I have some great ideas I wanted to run by you. And if you want to guarantee Ally will have a good time, you need to help me plan it.”
She blew out a breath. “Fine, but after this, the slate is wiped clean. Just so you know, you’ll never get a reservation, and I’m not free until eight thirty.”
“I’ll handle it. Pick you up later. I better get back to Lucy.” He strode away before she had time to change her mind.

    I liked the tension between Avery and Carter. I like best friend’s brother boyfriend storyline. There’s usually a past history and funny memories. I see a few arguments ahead as they struggle for control iof the planning of Ally’s wedding.

    The excerpt certainly shows how on edge their relationship is. She resents his intrusion into her field of expertise, not trusting her to do a good job. He seems to like goading her just to get her riled. His not trusting her to do her job well needs to be cured. At least she has his attention, even if it has nothing to do with the wedding plans.

    Great teaser! Can’t wait to read the rest as I’ve always enjoyed Jennifer’s books!
