Neanderthal

Neanderthal is the second book in the Last Man Standing series and I did enjoy the quirky characters. It took me a little while to get into the story but I really did like Kinsey and her charm and her mind. She was honestly trying to do whats right and help her grandma. Griff, oh my goodness me, man of not many words at all. There is quite a bit of family drama and I couldn’t stand Griff’s Dad. Some of the banter in this book was fantastic though and I did enjoy the storyline somewhat. The steamy moments were off the charts hot! It was an ok read for me. I am looking forward to the last book in the series!

4 Star Review Neanderthal (Last Man Standing #2) by Avery Flynn This is the second book in the Last Man Standing series and was just as entertaining as the first book. From the instant that Griff set eyes on Kinsey he knew that he had found the woman that he was meant to spend the rest of his life with. He may be in a competition with his cousins but it doesn't matter, he knows he has found the one. If only he can convince her. The only complication is that Kinsey is his sisters best friend and she is not interested in dating. However when Kinsey agrees to help Griff out by going on some fake dates with Griff, neither of them realize the chain of events that have been set in motion. I loved both Griff and Kinsey, separately but especially together. Neanderthal was a fun story with witty banter and characters whose story you cannot help but be drawn to. Griff is a man of few words but when he speaks, people tend to listen.

I adored Kinsey and growly Griff in Neanderthal by Avery Flynn, the book two in her Last Man Standing series, a breezy, light-hearted, humorous, insta-love story. Prejudices are at the heart of this story; a romance between two unexpected geniuses, one that looks like a bad boy, the other like a young Dolly Parton, but only love helped with looking beyond appearances. Within the first five-minutes of hearing Kinsey speak, Griff, the man who thought he would never, ever be in a relationship, knew he was in love and had met his perfect match. Griff is described as someone who not only doesn’t talk nor do feelings. He isn’t cold hearted; he has lots of feelings, yet, over time he has learned to hide them; deep inside. Kinsey is super smart, funny and very likeable; all packed in a Dolly Parton look-alike. Kinsey spoke her mind, despite knowing many people, especially men, wouldn’t take her seriously because of her looks and gender. Then, after speaking, she would walk away, leaving them speechless. Griff and Kinsey are both socially awkward geeks in their own right. Despite being “engaged” and hearing the story behind the “Last Man Standing” bet, Kinsey agrees to go on dates with Griff to help him win. Griff was open-minded and respectful of women, with his enjoyment of listening to Kinsey’s “sexy brain” as well as his respect of all she had accomplished; including not complaining about her working for the competition. The chemistry between Griff and Kinsey sizzles off-the charts and the magnetic attraction keeps them needing to spend time together. Ms. Flynn wrote a wonderful, fun, humorous, insta-love story filled with Beckett family shenanigans, sizzling chemistry, clever banter, and entertaining secondary characters that should definitely not be missed. I highly recommend Neanderthal to other readers and look forward to Nash's story. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
