Avoiding Marriage

Jess_final coverAbout the Book

Book:  Avoiding Marriage

Author: Karin Beery

Genre: Women’s Fiction

Release date: April 13, 2021

Two years ago, Jessica Miller made a mess of her already confusing life. Now, she’s back in Boyne Heights, and she’s determined to fix her reputation. She can’t seem to avoid the past that haunts her, but that’s the joy of small-town life—word spreads and people remember. Intent on her mission, however, she faces her past head-on, taking a job with her ex-boyfriend while avoiding her grandmother’s attempts to find her a new one.


"Avoiding Marriage" by Karin Beery is a fun novella featuring the characters from her book " Practically Married. If you like Karin's other books, you'll like this one also.  It would also be enjoyable if you haven't read "Practically Read". 

This is a short and fast read if you are looking for a short read. 

I was given a contemplorary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

More from Karin

I am so excited to go back to Boyne Heights!

 

**SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t read Practically Married, skip the following paragraph and go to the next!

 

When we Boyne Heights, Russ was in a hospital bed after a car accident with Ashley by his side, and they’d agreed to get really married, not just practically married. That was around Thanksgiving. Now it’s spring time. Russ and Ashley are enjoying the newly wed life, but they need help. Enter Jessica Miller.

 

**(START HERE)

Jess is exactly what Russ and Ashely need at the Russell farm, but nothing is ever as easy as it sounds. I mean, Jess thought she was going to marry Russ—now she’s working for him and his new wife? As if that’s not enough, Gran’s adjusting a little too well to life in the care home, meeting every single guy there to introduce to her favorite granddaughter, but Jess doesn’t have time. On top of the new job, it looks like her brother might be relapsing, and her wayward mother’s name keeps popping up in conversations.

 

I hadn’t planned on writing Jess’s story, I kept asking myself: what kind of woman did Russ date before he met Ashley? I knew the ex-girlfriend had to be smart, kind, motivated, yet hurting. It was so much fun to explore her story!

 

I hadn’t planned to go back to Boyne Heights, but I definitely enjoyed the trip. I hope you will too!
