OK. I know, Gone With the Wind is not technically a romance but frankly dear readers, I don’t give a damn.
Rhett and Scarlett are my ultimate romance couple. From the moment the horribly spoiled and completely bratty Scarlett sneaks into the Wilkes’ library and finds Rhett lounging on the couch, the die is cast. He is the most annoying man she has ever met. And Scarlett? She is a woman, as Rhett says, who needs to be kissed often and by someone who knows how.
Individually, they are awful people. Scarlett is the ultimate pain in the ass mean girl. Rhett is a cynical rake whose only use for people is how he can use them. But together? They fit. They make each other better. Together they grow as people. They teach each other the meaning of love.
Their love story is epic. It withstands the wimpy Ashley Wilkes, the war, poverty, starvation, the Yankees, Atlanta burning, their marriage, the death of their daughter and other spouses.
And then this happens.
Oh Ashley Wilkes, what Scarlett ever saw in you I cannot understand. You, sir, are no Rhett Butler. That is exactly what Scarlett realizes. At the end of the story, Rhett may disappear into the Atlanta fog, but he’s not gone. There’s just no way their story ends like this—even if the book does. If Scarlett has to lie, steal, cheat, or kill, as God is her witness, she'll never be without Rhett again. Because …
Widely considered The Great American Novel, and often remembered for its epic film version, Gone With the Wind explores the depth of human passions with an intensity as bold as its setting in the red hills of Georgia. A superb piece of storytelling, it vividly depicts the drama of the Civil War and Reconstruction.
This is the tale of Scarlett O’Hara, the spoiled, manipulative daughter of a wealthy plantation owner, who arrives at young womanhood just in time to see the Civil War forever change her way of life. A sweeping story of tangled passion and courage, in the pages of Gone With the Wind, Margaret Mitchell brings to life the unforgettable characters that have captured readers for over seventy years.

Sylvie Bissette may be one of Harbor City’s youngest glitterati, but only her best friends know her most closely guarded secret. She’s the woman behind The High-Heeled Wonder, a must-read blog for fashionistas everywhere. Gossip, fashion advice, exposés. Too bad some people can’t take a little criticism. When an internet troll discovers her secret identity and escalates from stalking her to threatening her life, Sylvie turns to security expert Tony Falcon for help. The investigator from the other side of the tracks is the olive oil to her Evian water and aggravates her to no end, but it’s not just her temper he’s inciting...
Tony Falcon wouldn't know a kitten heel from a tabby cat, but since most of the bad guys he tracks down aren't wearing stilettos, it's never been a problem...until he meets Sylvie. When a murder investigation leads him to the same place Sylvie works, he realizes the feisty fashionista may be his best chance at catching the criminals who killed his best friend. It all leads back to the cut-throat fashion world. But solving that case means going after the people Sylvie cares about, and soon his attraction for her—and the danger she’s in—has him wondering if solving the case is worth hurting the woman he can’t stop fantasizing about…
When Sylvie’s almost run over in broad daylight, Tony goes undercover as her boyfriend to infiltrate the close-knit fashion community. And when they discover Sylvie’s stalker may be linked to Tony’s own investigation, what started as a simple plan to find his friend’s killers turns into a hot bed of secrets and revelations. In a world full of overblown egos and dog-eat-dog ambition, Tony and Sylvie must work together to find her revenge-obsessed stalker before Sylvie ends up with a literal knife in the back.

Avery is a new author to me. Thank you for the intro. The book sounds good. I've only seen the movie Gone withe the Wind, I'm not a big fan but everyone tells me the book is far better.
ReplyDeleteOh the book is so much better. Read with tissues. Seriously.
DeleteGone with the Wind is such a classic. I have my fingers crossed to win this one, High-Heeled Wonder sounds like a book I would like. I just added Temptation Creek to my want to read list. Thanks for the chance to win the Kindle books!
ReplyDeleteOh! Good luck! Think of how much easier it will be to read GWTW on an e-reader. Your wrists will say thank you. :)
DeleteThank you so much for the post and giveaway! Gone with the Wind is such a great movie; I've not read the book yet.
ReplyDeleteGo get the book. Seriously. Go grab it from your library. It's that good. Scarlett is the woman you love to hate until, like Rhett, you fall for her idiotic ways. She messes up but she learns. I think that's what makes her such an identifiable character.
DeleteThanks so much for having me over and letting me rant about Scarlett and Rhett. :)
ReplyDeleteAnytime =)
DeleteOMG, I can't tell you how much I love Gone with the Wind and this would be so exciting to win.
ReplyDeleteFlynnbot here! I somehow always felt sorry for Rhett, because he seemed to have a heart beneath all that self-interest, but I was never sure Scarlett ever developed one.
ReplyDeleteMary M.
Can't wait to read it
ReplyDeleteI've loved the movie and would love to win the book to read!
ReplyDeleteI love Gone With The Wind. Scarlett is the woman you love to hate. Avery's books are on my list to read.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Avery on the new release!!! Confession time... I've never seen or read GwtW... epic fail, I know!! :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love Scarlett too.
ReplyDeleteLove gone with the wind! This book sounds fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI'm a Windie--GWTW aficionado! I think it's a romance! :)
ReplyDeleteAvery Flynn is a new-to-me author, but the book sounds interesting. I've only seen the movie version of GWTW, which I do enjoy.
ReplyDeleteMarcy Shuler
Very interesting descriptions of the stories.
ReplyDeleteGWTW is one of my all time favorite books and movie. I re-read GWTW about once a year! In fact I still have a Gone With The Wind poster hanging in my room at my parents house .
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit of a nerd :)
DeleteNew author for me, thanks for the intro. I love the Gone with the Wind movie, I watch it every time that I see it's on.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the ranks of those who haven't read GWtW but have seen the movie -- after the way the movie ended, I didn't want to read the book. I like my HEAs!
ReplyDeleteHigh Heeled Wonder sounds great! Please tell me they have a HEA.
I love Gone with the Wind! Getting to see it on the big screen twice was a wonderful treat. There is so much you miss seeing it on the small screen.
ReplyDeleteAn old favorite & a soon to be new favorite I'd say.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a like of intrigue. Love the cover!
ReplyDeleteI've read GWTW & seen the movie. It's the first time Hollywood didn't ruin a book. The movie is just as good as the book.
ReplyDeleteHaven't read gone with the wind
ReplyDeleteYou had me at "I don't give a damn." Best movie ever. I need to read the book, of course. And your book had me at high heel :)
ReplyDeleteI love Avery. =)
ReplyDeleteConfession time: I've never read, or seen, Gone With the Wind. Ahhh, I know.
I haven't read Gone With the Wind but I've seen the movie and loved it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
I've read Gone With The Wind several times and I never get bored with it. And the movie makes me cry every time I watch it. The synopsis for the book High Heeled Wonder was very interesting, I liked to read this one.
ReplyDeleteLoved Gone with The Wind, had been one of my favorites for a long time. Awesome pick
