Landon… advice…until I met Avery Randall.
Avery…
I hate everything about the small town I grew up in. Hollis is tainted with horrible memories. The place I used to love so much is ruined from the tragedy I caused, the pain I inflicted, and I can’t seem to escape from it.
I ran away a long time ago, but this place has a way of drawing you back in and not letting you go. My family needs me, only I’m not certain I can handle the pressure of being back in Hollis.
But there’s one person who tells me I can do this. Landon Steele assures me I can overcome my past. He promises me I am strong enough.
I wish I could believe him.
Admiring Avery is the final installment in the Hearts of Hollis Series. It references characters and events from the previous books but is a standalone novel. This book contains adult content, adult language, and sexual situations. It is intended for mature readers only.

Admiring Avery is an wonderful and heartfelt story. This story will pull you in and its a page turner. Its a wonderful written story. The characters are wonderful and enjoyable to read about. I truly enjoyed Landon and Avery story.
This is the final book in the series and can be read as a standalone. This story was an emotional read, with a wonderful conclusion. It will fill your heart with hope, that love can happen, even when you feel you don’t deserve it. I loved Avery and Landon and was routing for them. I loved catching up with everyone from previous books. This book and series is a must read.
Omg this is a new author for me and let me tell you that if you haven’t read her books you better get on it. I absolutely loved this book the storyline flowed from the beginning until the end and the characters were awesome. Landon was taught that women were good for one thing and when he meets Avery will his view of thinking changed? Avery left her hometown of Hollis after a bad accident and now she’s back in town and to help her father and family will her father goes through chemo treatment. When she meets Landon will sparks fly or will she tell him to get lost? Can she keep her past a secret or will it destroy her life once again? This book was absolutely fantastic. Bravo.
Admiring Avery was absolutely incredible! Avery comes back home to Hollis to visit her family, with no intentions of staying, there’s too much bad history and she is determined to leave as quickly as she can. Landon comes to visit her brothers and the two of them meet. Landon is determined to change her mind and make her stay. Landon and Avery have a sweet undeniable connection, and I fell in love with the characters. This story will give you all the feels, with wonderful characters, a perfect love story and it’s phenomenally written. I simply adored it and recommend to anyone.
Finally we get Landon’s story, and holy it was worth the wait. Avery seemed like she had it all out together in Caleb’s story, the sister to come to the rescue. But she had a story I was also dying to hear, she is sassy, funny af and so troubled by the past. The minute I started this book I knew I wouldn’t put it down, I loved every page. These two seemed almost unlikely for each other but holy i loved them.
I’m assuming this is the end of this series. If so, talk about a great ending! I am sad to see it end though. This series was my introduction to J.L. Leslie (and Nicole Dykes). I have loved each story including this one. This one might even be my favorite. Awesome story start to finish! I cannot express this to you enough.
Landon is back and forth to and from Hollis since his brothers are here, he’s a part owner of the hardware store and he secretly likes the town. Shhh! He hasn’t admitted the last one even to himself. Avery is only back in Hollis to help with her father. The town has too many painful memories for her. But maybe Landon can change that for her. Or are they just a fling?
Hmmm…
Guess you’ll need to read this one to see how it all works out.
This is book 4 in this series. Each can be read on there own since they each feature a different couple.
What a wonderful book. I didn’t think I would love anyone more than I loved Brady. Now Landon is right up there with him. This book hit close to home for me. I had a good cry. Over all I give this 2 thumbs up and lots and lots of stars. Unfortunately BB only allows 5 stars. So there ya have I would absolutely 100% recommend this book and this series as a whole.
I read an advanced copy of this book.
OH…LANDON AND AVERY….PERFECT
So, I’ve read all of the books in this series, and I’ve loved them all, but, for me, ADMIRING AVERY is my favorite….So, so good…
Landon Steele and Avery Randall (What a hot couple!!!) had one night in his father’s wine cellar awhile ago…and went their separate ways….it wasn’t forgotten by either of them…but it was just one night…..
Avery is a nurse, and she lives in Los Angeles and Landon is CFO of his father’s company, and he is based in Dallas…but he also has business interests with his brothers in Hollis, so he’s staying both places…..
Avery’s dad is dying of pancreatic cancer, and he doesn’t have long left.. .(JL Leslie gave a true representation of this horrible disease..).Avery comes home from California to take care of her dad, but coming back home is not something Avery ever planned to do…(you’ll have to read the book to find out why)…. and as soon as her dad passes, she has every intention of going back to California…and she does…
Landon has his professional life in hand, but he’s got all these rules about women, because he has no intention of settling down….until Avery…she is SO different from anyone else…but even he’s not understanding why he’s willing to change all of his rules for her…..but he is….it’s just that Avery hates Hollis, and she is a runner…and that’s obviously not changing….Landon and Avery fall in love, but, sometimes, love just isn’t enough…and Avery just never wanted to live in Hollis again…..
I loved this story…I loved Landon and Avery…I loved their chemistry…their HOTness (that may be the same as chemistry…but it deserves to be mentioned more than once)….I loved how honest they were and how there are no games between them…And I loved that Avery didn’t give Renee a second thought when she saw her with Landon…and I loved that Landon didn’t either…I JUST LOVED THIS BOOK…..
Admiring Avery is about overcoming the past and not living how you were taught. Both Avery and Landon in one way or another been abused but not in the physical sense. Tragedy drove Avery away and corrupt morals and ideals have distanced Landon from his father. The journey these two go is intense but at the end its absolutely worth it.
I am speechless!! Admiring Avery was so amazing, I refuse to believe this is the last book, it’s not beyond the realm for a character to knock on the door of J.L.’s brain and say “Oh and by the way”…..someone could potentially have more to say….*crosses fingers in hopes* Lol anyway, back to Landon and Avery….they were pretty perfect for each other, they both felt the same way as far as relationships are concerned so thinking what they had was nothing more than a hookup was fine by both of them….or was it? Avery comes back to Hollis for her family but has no intention of staying long term. Landon is in Hollis every once in a while because of the hardware store he and his brothers opened, he feels his life is in Dallas. He too has demons that follow him, but maybe Avery is the woman that could change him, make him settle down….in a small town. Guess you’re gonna have to read to find out!! So yeah, I am totally recommending this book, you really need to read it and the other 3 books in the Hearts of Hollis Series, you will thank me, just like I am thanking J.L. for writing an awesome story, this series is a definite reread!!
Landon and Avery’s story is such a sweet love story. Landon who’s so busy with Steele Industries comes to Hollis to visit his brothers and Avery is back in her home town to visit her family and it’s there that the two of them meet. Avery has so much bad history in Hollis and is determined to leave as quickly as she can while Landon becomes determined for her to stay. You’re going to love this journey with these two.
I loved this book, the whole setting in a small town, the meddling of all the family and the other people in town I love the atmosphere. The writing makes you feel that you are there with them and looking from a distance at them and living through everything with them. Go grab a your book.
This book was amazing. Fast and easy to read. Loved the characters. Tore at my heart strings. J.L. Leslie
I think this is my favorite out of the series!!!! Heart wrenching circumstances for Avery to come home to have to face and the tragedy of her past. Landon trying to be close to his siblings and work in the corporate world his dad wants him to run. Being the escape for each other and falling in love. This book puts you through a lot of emotions. Excellent way to end the series!!
Talk about a emotional story! This book had me hooked from the moment I started reading it. I absolutely love Avery and Landon’s story. You can’t fight love, so why try? Landon and Avery do!
Read this wonderful story to find out what happens. You will not be disappointed, you will laugh and cry.
Admiring Avery was amazing. It was beautifully written. You become so engrossed that you think you are there in Hollis and forget where you actually are. be ready for laughter, angst, tears anger and so many feels!!! Avery is definitely admirable because she is honest, strong, stubborn and genuine just as any great character should be. The connection between Avery and Landon melts your heart. visiting with the other great characters from the series and a major plus!!! This is a definite must read folks!!!!
This book will keep you on the edge of your seat, very emotional and the love is amazing. Loved these characters and the world they live in.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters and the way they were together. This book was a great story from the beginning.
I’m sad it’s over but what amazing end to this series! Landon and Avery story rounds out this while series. I love all of J.L. Leslie’s books, she never disappoints!
This was a very emotional storyline. Avery goes through quite a lot in this book. But through it all she does try to remain strong. Coming back to her hometown is not something that she wants to do. There is bad memories here for her. But when her father gets sick she has no option but to come back to help her family. Landon has a thing for Avery but he doesn’t do relationships. Avery just wants to use Landon as an escape. Landon is willing to be there for Avery but in the end he feels something more for her. But will Avery stay after everything happens or will she run? What will happen between these two? I absolutely love the chemistry between these two it is hot and lovable. I absolutely love how Logan is there for Avery through everything that she goes through. This was an amazing storyline with two amazing characters. A great book from a great writer. Highly recommend reading this one.
