father that she can do this. Then she meets the beast in the park that
steals her heart.
About the Author:
Kim is a mother of three, with two beautiful granddaughters. She has had a
couple of different careers in her life, like fixing jets, driving trucks,
and being a cosmetologist. She has gone through many ups and many downs. The
one thing that she enjoyed doing most in life is writing. It seems to be the
one thing that she enjoys no matter what.
Like today, for example. I'm in actual hell at my sister's over-the-top reality TV wedding and up until now, I've been able to handle it all. The horrible bridesmaids. My relentless mother. Even the awful eighties fashion to fit the retro theme. But when my sister nonchalantly mentioned that she never even wanted me at the wedding—the producers insisted—ouch doesn't fully express how much it hurts.
So for the first time I don't think. I just do. And as a shy paleontologist who plans everything, I probably should have taken a moment.
But here we are.
I've just asked the best man, who my sister absolutely loathes and who can't stand her right back, if he's up for a little naked revenge with me. The cameras are filming every horrifying second, and the whispers have begun. (Did I mention that the music happened to stop just as I asked him?)
But then his mouth quirks up, and he does the last thing I expect.

My Review:
Anger Bang is such a fun romantic comedy. I fell in love with both Thea and Kade. An unlikely pair that work perfectly together. Avery Flynn captivated me with her bridesmaid and groomsman. I enjoyed getting to know each of them separately and together. I loved them and how the author developed them.
Anger Bang is a cute and fun romance. The book is perfectly paced, written well, and the setting and world building expertly descripted and set up. I read this book in one day because once I started, I was hooked.
Avery Flynn is a one-click author for me no matter what. Every book is phenomenal. The characters, themes, and settings are unique.
USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling romance author Avery Flynn has three slightly-wild children, loves a hockey-addicted husband and is desperately hoping someone invents the coffee IV drip. She lives outside of Washington DC with her family, Dwight the cat, and a pack of five dogs all named after food. If she’s not reading romance or binging reality TV, she’s most definitely plotting to take over the world so she can banish Crocs from existence. Also, if you figure out how to send Oreos through the Internet, she’ll be your best friend for life.
