The Schemer (Harbor City #3) by Avery Flynn

 
Tyler Jacobson has a plan for everything—except how to handle his completely annoying, utterly frustrating, and totally sexy upstairs neighbor. He couldn't care less if Everly Ribinski thinks he's equally irritating—until he discovers she's the only one who can help him land a business deal that will finally make him feel like he's more than just a guy from the wrong side of the tracks.

Color him shocked when Everly refuses to help, insisting she should have run him over in the parking garage when she had the chance. Harsh. But possibly deserved. Tyler may have spent the last few months reveling in annoying the fiery gallery owner with a dark past, but he's got secret leverage she can't refuse.

If only one meeting didn't turn into a fake date that turned into more. Way more. Like naked and hot as hell more.

The last thing either of them wants is to catch feelings for someone who is so obviously not their type. Good thing that will never happen. Right?

Each book in the Harbor City series is STANDALONE:
* The Negotiator
* The Charmer
* The Schemer
 
 
  The Schemer, the third in Avery Flynn's Harbor City series can be read as a standalone as the other two, but I don't recommend it.  The Negotiator (Harbor City #1) & The Charmer (Harbor City #2) are absolute MUST READS - so why not read them before this newest release?  Get to it & then pick up Tyler’s story – a man after my own heart… “Honey, I am a book nerd.” & the woman that will give him a run for his money in a “…full-on bad girl, somebody-hold-my-earrings kinda way.” 
 
Told in third person, from dual points of view, full of fun movie references, this story is funny “He was as close to being an *ss as  donkey.  Too bad he kissed like a god.”, & sexy – leaving you “…hot and expectant.” Full of sizzling passion that two words sum up– “Good God.” Also, heartfelt & sweet, “…beyond wrinkled sheets and sweaty satisfaction.” with a wonderful spark between characters & their surprisingly emotional pasts.  These off-limits neighbor nemesis’ clash in the most delicious ways “She was layers of intelligence and motives—like a @#$!ing parfait.”  Strong family ties shine through “…when your grandma, along with her circle of cutthroat bingo partners, practically raised you…”  See what happens when “…emotion & passion mixed: temporary insanity…”  Wonderful secondary storyline I wasn’t expecting, but as a fan of the series really enjoyed ~ “…second chances don’t come around every day, and when they do, you must seize them.”
 
I love the strong friendships & family bonds that Avery brings to these stories.  The importance of love & loyalty– “…love was loyalty and always being there for the other person.” Loyalty wasn’t just a thing—it was the most important thing.” And the push-pull flow that takes you exactly where you want to be.  "It was fantastic."
