Flynn is hilarious and so, so sexy. Perfect for Chastity. I loved their story. Another fabulous book in this amazing series. You will love it!!
Another steamy, sexy, and fun read from Donna Alam. Flynn and Chastity go from enemies to lovers in this one with a twist I definitely did not see coming!
Chastity has lost something. More like she’s lost the ability to enjoy her alone time. Flynn, the hot Aussie bloke who hooked up with her six months ago, has ruined her. Even though they don’t get along, they burn between the sheets. I loved watching them fall in love. There is lots of humour (and bad puns), friendship, a naughty older person (hello, Aunt Camilla), a bad guy, a sassy lass and a dirty talking guy. When Flynn dives in with both feet, he became my new BBF. Swoon! Another fab, must-read in this series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book.
I received an arc of In like Flynn for an honest review. This is not the first Donna Alam book ive read and I have to say Flynn is just as hot as her other male characters but with an Australian accent. Flynn and Chastity have a one night stand at their friends wedding, since then Chas can’t find her ‘O’ and being a adult movie cinemographer she has plenty tools at her disposal to give a hand but with no joy. Although they both think each other totally hot they don’t particularly like each other very much and therefore there is alot of funny banter between the pair. This was a hot book with lots of great and varied characters you’ll fall in love with and want to learn more about especially Chastitys aunt Camilla. A great read x
Lusty Aussie – check. Career girl ready to nest – check. Fireworks – definitely!

Another super hot alpha fella hits the pages in another great Donna Alam romance. I love her Scots, but laid back Australian hunk Flynn (is it coincidence that she named him after Erroll Flynn, another Aussie heartthrob?!) is fierce competition and fits in well with Alam’s already-established circle of couples. Chastity and Flynn, the main protagonists, sizzle!
There’s humor (once again, Ella’s alcohol-fogged brain draws some chuckles), some sad moments related to Chastity’s past, lots of jaw-dropping cavorting, and some male rivalry that turns pretty nasty. I truly enjoyed Chastity and Flynn’s story and can’t wait to see them reappear in future Alam novels.
Recommended for the romance, passion, humor and feel-good camaraderie that graces this well-written series. Although it’s a standalone romance, I recommend reading Alam’s Scots series, and Easy and Hard as well, to get the full scoop (and a lot more fiery romance) on the circle of friends and family.
I heard “Australian hero” on this one and I was sold. With visions of Hugh Jackman and Chris Hemsworth swirling through my mind, I 1-clicked and started reading. And honestly, the hero wasn’t a letdown at all. But the heroine? Well…that’s a different story.
But first, here’s the stuff about the story that absolutely worked for me:
1. Australian hero. Yum.
2. The heroine, Chastity, is a porn producer. It’s a nice change of pace to read about romance heroines who embrace their sexuality as fully as Chastity has.
3. Love all the English and Australian slang. It’s all very fun and exotic for a Midwestern USA gal like myself.
4. Flynn, beyond general yumminess, is a good hero. He’s funny and self-deprecating and hard-working. He’s a good friend, a great lover, and an overall super nice guy. (Both of the stars I awarded to this book can be credited directly to Flynn, in fact)
5. The hero’s Scottish friends. Yum.
As for what irked me, there isn’t really enough to list out. I just didn’t like Chastity. Like, at all. I saw no reason for her surliness toward Flynn. I really didn’t see why she thought he was an a-hole. He really wasn’t. He was nothing but hilarious and respectful and sexy throughout the entire story. The way Chastity treated him made her look like a horrid shrew of the highest order. I get that she’s been through things, but hell, who hasn’t? She hasn’t been through anything a million other romance heroines haven’t been through and they don’t treat eligible, nice guys like Chastity treats Flynn. I just couldn’t make myself like this woman, no matter how many times I tried.
There were a couple of other points I could nitpick. I mean, there was an “other guy” character that popped up at the last minute of the story to cause unnecessary drama. This dude could have been totally written out of the story and I think the story would’ve been better for it. There’s a point towards the end when Chastity is willing to believe horrible things about Flynn for no good reason and without any real proof, and that pissed me off. And there’s the fact that Chastity is so intent on pointing out how her porn is so much better than everyone else’s porn. (Chastity, honey, you film people having sex. I don’t care how you light the scene, it’s not arty. It’s porn, and it’s exactly like everyone else’s porn. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but let’s call a spade a spade, shall we?) But all that stuff could’ve been easily overlooked if I would’ve liked Chastity, and I just didn’t. Sorry Flynn, but I think you can do better.
Long-story-short: it’s just too bad a great hero is stuck with this dud of a heroine. If I could fix Flynn up with someone else, I would.
