Today it is my pleasure to Welcome author Avery Flynn to HJ!
Spotlight&Giveaway

Hi Avery and welcome to HJ! We’re so excited to chat with you about your new release, The Wedding Date Disaster!

 
Hey there! So excited to be here and HELLO FELLOW BOOK NERDS!
 

To start off, can you please tell us a little bit about this book?:

Oh this book is so much fun! It’s a real trope-a-rama with enemies to lovers, a fake relationship, just one bed, best friend’s brother OH! and a twin switch in for good measure. I’m telling you, it is hot and fun and I just absolutely adored Will and Hadley as they figure out that they really are in love.
 

Please share your favorite lines or quote(s) from this book:

Oh that’s really hard to do. I’d probably go with “Hadley was about to find out how good the bad Holt twin could be.”

 

What inspired this book?

Really it was just the idea of going home again. Our heroine Hadley went from the small town to the big city and her life isn’t as perfect as she’s been leading her family to believe. I think for all of us that’s something we may have been guilty of at one time or another.
 

How did you ‘get to know’ your main characters? Did they ever surprise you?

If I can get out of their way, they surprise me all the time!

 

What was your favorite scene to write?

The fist time Hadley and Will have sex was my favorite to write because these two have been fighting it for so long and they can’t even verbalize it. Most of the time my sexy scenes are filled with banter but not this one and when Will finally says something it’s all WOW.

 

What was the most difficult scene to write?

The dark moments are always the hardest to write because I do not want to do that to these people. I just want them to be happy.

 

Would you say this book showcases your writing style or is it a departure for you?

Oh this is a total sexy and silly Avery Flynn book for sure. It’s a good time!

 

What do you want people to take away from reading this book?

I hope it takes them away from reality, gives them a giggle, and lets them smile.

 

What are you currently working on? What other releases do you have planned?

I’m working on a really fun secret project and I can’t wait to tell y’all about it!

 

Thanks for blogging at HJ!

Book Info:

Hadley Donavan can’t believe she has to go home to Nebraska for her sister’s wedding. She’s gonna need a wingman and a whole lot of vodka for this level of family interaction. At least her bestie agreed he’d man up and help. But then instead of her best friend, his evil twin strolls out of the airport.

If you looked up doesn’t-deserve-to-be-that-confident, way-too-hot-for-his-own-good billionaire in the dictionary, you’d find a picture of Will Holt. He’s awful. Horrible. The worst―even if his butt looks phenomenal in those jeans.

Ten times worse? Hadley’s buffer was supposed to be there to keep her away from the million and one family events. But Satan’s spawn just grins and signs them up for every. Single. Thing.

Fine. “Cutthroat” Scrabble? She’s in. She can’t wait to take this guy down a notch. But somewhere between Pictionary and the teasing glint in his eyes, their bickering starts to feel like more than just a game…

    I attended a wedding in which a type of flying insect came in a huge amount and were attracted by the lights. Migration, perhaps…

  4. Nicole (Nicky) Ortiz

    For my uncle’s wedding my brother and cousin went to the photographer and did the pose for Step-Brother’s.

    Thanks for the chance!

  5. Debra Guyette

    I do not really have any funny ones. the only one I can think of is when our daughter feel in love with the groom (her uncle). We brought her to the US the year before when we adopted her from Poland. She followed him everywhere he went.

  6. Pamela Conway

    When saying our vows, instead of saying I Pam take…… , I said I Brian, my late husbands name. It made everyone laugh anyway!

    I got lost on the way to my wedding. It was out in the country, and my maid of honor and I stopped at a liquor store, about the only place around, to use their phone (in the 80s before cell phones.) I was emotional because my mother had recently passed away so she wouldn’t see me get married, and I was a bundle of nerves from being late to my own wedding. My tears messed up my make up, but the sweet lady who owned the liquor store calmed me, said everything was going to be just fine, retrieved her own make up from her purse and fixed my face in the tiny back bathroom. She was so talented and made me look great! Better than pre-tears!

      At my uncles wedding my oldest daughter 18 at the time got the regular coke drink cups mixed up with the ones with rum and got sick. When i asked jow she got sick she said i had 4 cokes while dancing with little straws in them. I said omg those had rum in them! She was sick and mad then had a hangover next morning and said i wouldve put them in a different colored cup duh!

    On the way to my wedding, it was at a reception center, we turned onto the road and it was freaking closed for road work. My mom, who’s a very quiet, reserved woman, flipped out and was screaming to the road crew saying they had to open the road now or she was going to call the police, it’s her daughter’s wedding day and guests needed to use this road to get there. Needless to say the road opened up in time for the ceremony and reception.

    I tripped on the stairs while video-taping my grandfather’s ceremony when he married his second wife.

    My cousin was getting married and a thunderstorm came up..It thundered really loud and shook the old country church.The ring bearer jumped and the rings rolled off under the piano..Last year my granddaughter married and when the music started her dad had to try and keep up with her she was going down the aisle so fast.She beat the music.

  14. Kathleen Bylsma

    Our room had been given away and the only space available for our wedding night was a dorm in the same building…we spent our wedding night in a dorm with twelve beds!

  16. Debra Branigan

    I guess we can laugh at my expense. I was asked to make deviled eggs for my sister’s wedding reception. I had a decorating idea and used that instead which was little hard-boiled egg penguins. They were cute, but definitely out of place for an April wedding.

  18. Marsha Bachmeier

    At one of my cousins weddings, first, after her mom walked her down the aisle and was giving her away, their clothing got stuck together somewhere on their arms/wrists, so it took a few seconds before they were able to separate and the bride was able to meet her soon to be hubby at the alter. Then one the her sisters (a bridesmaid) got sick and had to step out, pausing the ceremony briefly. (Found out afterwards that she was pregnant, and she didn’t know it at the time.) Then the grooms young daughter and friend (at their own request) were singing ‘A Whole New World’ and was (as terrible as it is to say) singing totally off key/out of tune. Even though everyone was being kind about it (as you’d expect) we could all see the bride and groom’s shoulders shaking from laughter.. I’m sure not just from that, but from all the ‘malfunctions’ that had happened. Needless to say, it’s a wedding I won’t likely forget, and if I were ever to get married, one I’d like to have for myself! 😀

    A friend copied my intro music to the reception, except it was horrible. She had recorded (using a boombox) it from the video (VHS) and the static was awful. Karma for taking something unique from someone else’s wedding.

  21. Charlotte Litton

    I had a rose for my Mom and his Mom, when I turned around after giving my Mom her rose, I stepped on my hem and almost fell on my face. We all laughed.

    Not funny, really, but it could be in a romantic comedy. There was a woman I did not want at my wedding. She was told to stay away. She showed up at her ex-boyfriend’s house and followed his family to the church. I was clueless until the wedding march started and I began to walk down the aisle. She had such brass balls that she actually sat on the aisle so I’d have to pass her. My dad clamped his hand on my arm so hard to stop me from turning toward her and tell her off. She even went through the line to congratulate us AND showed up at the reception. The final straw? She sat at the bridal table! I had to send a staff member to physically remove her. It was unreal!

  23. Glenda M

    You hear all the flower girl/ring bearer stories, right? (A big reason none of my friends kids ‘helped’ out in mine.) My sister’s ring bearer and flower girl were twins and were busy having having an argument before they even started down the aisle. The argument escalated from verbal to slapping, punching, and shoving before their parents got to them from the lineup of bridesmaids and groomsmen.

    I was a bridesmaid at a wedding that had numerous things happen… sadly the marriage suffered the same fate… but anyway… it was at a fancy country club and the wedding planner talked the bride into having goldfish as the center pieces. The bowls were very pretty and had about 4 fish each. Well, unfortunately, they decided to surround the bowls with votive candles and all the fish ended up being boiled. The host couple ran around with fish nets desperately trying to get rid of all the dead fish but gave up. Also, when the wedding party was suppose to be announced and go out to the dance floor, it was only me and another bridesmaid. The rest of the wedding party went outside to smoke some joints. First, last, and only time I was ever a bridesmaid. Thanks for sharing!

    My grandmother was 20 minutes late to my wedding and the Rabbi wouldn’t wait. Forward 34 years and when my older daughter got married his grandnother was late (they got lost) but we waited this time. Not sure I wanted to mention the girls sunbathing in bikinis nest door to the house my wedding ceremony took place. Can we say college town.

  26. Ellen C.

    The minister at my cousin’s wedding called the groom by the wrong name three times. Finally got it right in time for the vows.☺

  27. Anita H.

    At a friend’s wedding, the flower girl wouldn’t walk down the aisle, she decided to just sit down on the carpet and not budge until her mum “helped” her down the aisle! LOL

  28. Kim

    Unfortunately, I don’t have any funny wedding related stories. I haven’t been to a lot.

  30. Amy R

    A guest got up during the ceremony and got beer from the keg. (wedding & reception in the same room)

  32. Lilah Chavez

    Well we eloped, but our close friends has a small dinner for us and immediate family. So they had picked up a traditional Mexican meal, Chile Verde, rice and beans, tortillas… But at the time my hubby lol sisters were vegetarian . Our friends didn’t know that.. B c it was all a surprise lol. So they just had rice and beans .

  34. Patricia B.

    We were in Connecticut for my nieces wedding. It was being held at a nice little church in the small coastal town where my brother, her dad, lives. Most of us were already at the church standing outside visiting. Only my youngest sister and her husband were missing from the bride’s side of the family. We noticed my sister’s car go by, but it didn’t turn in. It went back and forth in front of the church multiple times. We were waving and yelling at them to get their attention. They finally pulled in, my sister getting out with a disgusted look on her face. My brother-in-law uses his GPS and doesn’t pay attention to anything else. She had noticed us the 3rd or 4th time past the church, but he wouldn’t stop until after several more passes. I remember him using the GPS to go to a drug store at the end of the block. Pretty sad.
