I never dreamed I’d meet my celebrity crush while stealing every single pair of my best friend’s pants. Trust me, my life is not that wild. In fact, the most excitement I usually get is running my fan-favorite Insta thirst account featuring butt-tastic pics of Hollywood superhero Carter Hayes. So, imagine my shock when, in the middle of the cruise ship hallway, I realize the guy whose shirt I’m … shirt I’m stuffing slacks inside of is Carter disguised as a tourist. How I manage not to faint dead away, I’ve got no clue.
When word leaks that Carter might be on board, he asks me to help him maintain his cover. There’s no way I’m gonna say no to that. I just don’t share that I’m the anonymous woman behind the fan account that reported sighting him onboard. No biggie. Right?
However, when things between us go from friendly to hot to OMG-I-can’t-keep-my-clothes-on-around-him, all I can do is hope he never discovers my secret. You see, somewhere along the way, Carter went from an untouchable movie star to the man I’m falling for.
Five friends. One singles cruise. So many sexy shenanigans. Be sure to check out all of the books in the standalone Gone Wild books!

This is book 3 in the Gone Wild Series, five friends from college mistakenly end up on a single cruise together.
Aubrey is looking forward to escaping her small-town life and the running of the family bakery. For the love of Family, she has moved home to help run the family bakery, after she graduated from college. Her life does not look like she thought it would. (Audrey is the last person who should be running a bakery, she can’t bake to save her life.) Audrey uses her spare time to run a fan Instagram page highlighting the one and only Cater Hayes.
Carter Hayes is a Hollywood Royalty. Desperately seeking to break out of his current typecast as Hollywood superhero and branch out to more meaningful films. He books himself on a singles cruise and to prove to a director that he can be more than his Hollywood Superhero Role.
I loved how Aubrey finally saw Cater as more than just this larger than life figure. I really enjoyed that Cater got out of his head and truly was a normal guy. Together they are simply perfect. Aubrey’s shenanigans seem to have the effect of making Carter seem like a normal guy. I think hanging out with Aubrey normalized him more than his Iowa disguise.
Every awkward and quirky moment in this book is pure gold. This short and steamy romance is filled with signature Avery Flynn moments. Awkward meet cute, snarky best friend and so much more packed into this book. This was a 5/5 read for me. For the record I did wanted more from this story, more of Avery’s signature banter, more moments, more shenanigans.
Sooo….I had just finished a book and was looking for something different from my usual genre (PNR). Who knew it would be a cute little romcom about a woman who meets her movie star crush on a singles cruise? He’s undercover and she secretly runs a slightly stalkerish IG account that’s all about her crush. What could possibly go wrong??
I loved Aubrey and Carter!!! They are so fun together. And steamy….phew! The heat being generated by those two. *fans self*
A fun, light read.
Thank you to the author for an advance copy of this book. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor.
I loved this book from Avery Flynn. Aubrey and Carter just meet ,and little does Carter realize Aubrey is the one that has been stalking him on line, when he asks for her help and they start to fall for each other. This is a great quick read I could not put down. I cannot wait to read the other books in this series.
I enjoyed this so much even if I had a hard time following Aubrey sometimes. She’s wild and carefree on the outside but misunderstood on the insured. She immediately connects with Carter and I love how she realizes who he is pretty early on. Their chemistry is sizzling and I enjoyed reading their story.
Attracting Aubrey is a fantastic read. I love each authors spin on the group of friends. Avery Flynn just pulls you in with this one. Aubrey once wild child now small town girl that you will love. She is strong and trying to get her friends to live on the wild side just a little. She had no idea her crush would be on the cruise. Carter is in hiding trying to land a role and doesn’t stay hidden long. He is swoon worthy and I love the chemistry between him and Aubrey. They are so cute together. You got to read to find out what kind of trouble Aubrey is up to in this one.
Attracting Aubrey by author Avery Flynn is the third book in the Gone Wild series! This fun undercover actor/anonymous woman behind the fan favorite insta thirst account will break your heart! Going on a single’s cruise and helping out her friend let loose a little, Aubrey didn’t expect to run into her biggest crush, or even drag him in on her shenanigans…though neither did undercover hottie, Carter either! This contribution to this series is HOT and a simple bad move that becomes a lie of omission, may just break them. I am a huge Avery Flynn fan! I love her writing style, her humor, and the detailed “scenes” in this one! 4.25 stars!
I had so much fun reading Attracting Aubrey by Avery Flynn. I laughed and smiled and just kept turning the pages. It was a quick, fun, and just charming read to get lost in this afternoon. Imagine being the anonymous social media account owner of pictures of your celebrity crush. Then actually meeting him. On a singles cruise. Where he is trying to go unnoticed. And asks you for help. Suddenly things are steaming up between you and he has no idea who you are.
Carter was just trying to fit in and Aubrey was trying not to drool. I loved watching them together. Their chemistry is amazing and they just seem to have fun together. A delightful and fun read. I have to say I was not aware of this series, but they are truly standalones with interconnected friends and one I am definitely checking out now.

Happy reading!
What happens when you meet your fantasy man in real life? Aubrey has been using her attraction to Hollywood superhero Carter Hayes as an escape from her everyday life. When she runs into him undercover on a singles cruise she is surprised to find he is even better in person. The chemistry between these two is hot, hot, hot. This book is a wonderful escape.
With life having gotten way too serious recently, it was refreshing to get out of my head and step into my heart. Aubrey and Carter provide the perfect escape. More than a little fun in a time of crisis. Attracting Aubrey lights up the heart with humor and characters that stay with you long after the last word has been read. Flynn continues to be a must read for me.
This was a very fun quick read. I loved Carter and Aubrey. They were almost too cute and I thought just perfect together. The story line easily keeps you entertained with a wonderful blend of romance, humor, sizzle and zany hijinks. Very enjoyable! I am choosing to post an elective review.
Another quick and fun read in this series. I was enjoying myself while reading how Aubrey and Carter made a pact about “working” together to help him stay under the radar and securing his role in a new movie.
But as usual when feelings are involved things are bound to get mess and it was fun seeing how they worked them out.

Avery Flynn delivers comedy, steam, and romance this time while sailing upon the ocean waves.
Aubrey Dean has set sail for a week long singles cruise with her best friends. Aubrey is known for her crazy antics among her friends, but it has been awhile since she has pulled off one of her pranks since moving to a small town where everyone knows everything that happens. It might be this very reason why she began her Insta account to follow her celebrity crush on Carter Hayes, an escape from her small town life where she can ogle, imagine, and dip into fantasy. However, the moment she leaves small town life behind, she jumps back into her old skin and has no trouble pranking her friends. The only pause in her plan is her hot neighbor who also happens to look a lot like Carter Hayes.
Carter Hayes booked himself for a cruise incognito to help him win a new role in an upcoming independent film. He wants to break out of the roles he’s been currently doing and the only way to do that is to prove to the director that he can blend in and lose his superhero identity. Hence, he is now a dental hygienist from Iowa. Upon first arriving on the ship he gets pulled into a pants stealing prank by his ship neighbor, Aubrey, and things only escalate from there. The even weirder thing is, he actually enjoys himself for the first time in a long time and he doesn’t want to leave Aubrey’s side.
Attracting Aubrey is a flaming hot read with lots of laughs, instant chemistry, improv, and smexy good times.
I loved Aubrey and Carter….there story was filled with lots of laughs and boy can Aubrey pull a prank and think quick off the top of her head. Book was very hard to put down and didn’t stay down for long. Lots of humor, HEA, and a can’t put down story, is what I love.
3.5 stars
Aubrey Dean was a pants thief and she had no regrets.
With a first line like that, you know you’re in for a treat. Avery Flynn’s Attracting Aubrey is a funny, steamy, insta-love treat that is as delicious as Aubrey’s grandma’s bear claws.
Aubrey Dean used to be adventurous. That is, until her grandma’s health brings her to a small town so she can help care for her grandma. She passes the time by working at her grandma’s bakery, and manning a Carter Hayes fan Instagram account. While on a cruise with some of her besties, Aubrey inadvertently meets Hayes, the super famous star of a blockbuster superhero franchise. And maybe she posts about it. On her very popular Instagram account. Carter is currently incognito, trying to prove he can act in more serious roles, and when Aubrey figures that out, she desperately tries to undo her mistake. As Aubrey and Carter grow closer, she has to decide if she is going to come clean, or enjoy the fling.
This is a quick read, with a lot of chemistry between the protagonists. It’s not super substantive, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s a fantasy, pure and simple… one that I would have loved to have fleshed out a little bit more. Regardless, it’s the perfect vacation read. Avery Flynn fans will be pleased, and new readers looking for a refreshing dose of insta-love will be left feeling satisfied.
