“Gunner,” the second book in Aubree Pynn’s Lavendale series, is an electrifying and compact read that delivers an intense mix of spice, angst, and desire. Set against the backdrop of a brewing war between Lavendale’s knights and queens and Ganton Hill’s prophets and monarchs, this short novel packs a punch.

Gunner and his crew are embroiled in the chaos, calling hits and bracing for the tumultuous battle ahead. Amidst the turmoil, Gunner’s quest for peace with the powerful and alluring Amari adds a layer of complexity and intensity to the narrative. Their magnetic pull toward each other, bound by the street life and their connection through Amari’s brother, Prince (Gunner’s best friend), creates a compelling and fiery romance. As they navigate their dangerous and forbidden attraction, they cross a line of no return, adding to the book’s thrilling edge.

Aubree Pynn, often hailed as the queen of short novels, does not disappoint with “Gunner.” The story is short, sweet, and super spicy, making it a perfect read for those looking for a quick yet satisfying escape. Pynn’s ability to weave a gripping tale in a limited number of pages is truly commendable, and “Gunner” is a testament to her talent.
