I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Well, slap my a$$ and call me Sally....

This is probably Avril's fluffiest book to date... or as fluffy as an #AvrilAshton book could get.
I mean, there is angst, and an antihero, but it read very sweet and had so many feels!

So lets break it down....

****Highly Recommended Heels****

Why should you read this book...

1. The Characters:
Emile Boisclaire, aka Preacher, is a big beautiful black multimillionaire. He is surrounded by his best friends/family/fuckbuddies, and has everything he ever wanted expect one thing. He's got revenge on the brain and Kannon in his sights. #IveGotMyEyesOnYou


Kannon Jeffers, aka Kan, is pretty, wears makeup, dresses and heels that turn Preacher on to no end. Even though Kannon is a means to an end, he worms his way inside Preacher's heart and soul. #DidntSeeYouComing



2. The Plot:
The plot evolves really well from the beginning. From revenge, to sex and attraction, to affection and more. Each man didn't expect what the other would come to mean to him. Although the lust and attraction were there from the beginning, there was no mistaking the connection that hooked both men together. #ChangeIsInTheHorizon

3. The Romance:
See Ms. Avril is one author who does love REALLY WELL. Despite the fact that her men are on the wrong side of the law, you cant help but root for them, cheer them on and want them to be happy. this book is no exception.
Even their HOT AF sex was a way to express their feeling towards each other. their first sex scene, transcended a mere hookup status for me, because of how it happened and that it actually did in the first place. Then came the feels.... Preacher who didn't for a second think that Kannon would ever be more than a way to avenge his mom, thawed toward Kannon when he saw the real man underneath all that make up and fake bravado. the intimate moments, especially the nonsexual ones, the way Preacher stood up for a "fake husband", the way he practically wooed him without him realizing what he was doing.
Kannon's empathy, self deprecation, guilt and surrender to his feelings were beautiful to read...although it took me a while to warm up to him.
All that and so much more... #ILovedYouBeforeIKnewYou

4. The Heat...
Its no surprise that Avril writes some smoking hot sex scenes. and this book..... PHEW! I mean, heels are involved....and the heels get very intimate with Preacher's body...AHEM!
Also, two Vers men are always a bonus in MM IMO.

5. The Rep...
Preacher is black and demisexual, Kannon is black and femme. Both are VERS! What more could I have asked for? #AllTheStops

6. The Cameos:
This is one of my favorite things about reading an #avrilAshton book. ALL THE CAMEOS! Revisiting some characters, even for a bit is such a joy! And then the little tidbits to what's coming next... #Tease

6. The HEA...
Again.... ALL THE FEELS! THOSE MEN ARE THE SWEETEST I SWEAR.
Excuse the shouty capitals. Anywhoooo, their HEA after what goes down, even though it's not #AngstCentral is sweet all the same. #RightInTheFeels
