BOOKWORM REVIEW: Neanderthal by Avery Flynn
STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥
Neanderthal is the second book in the Last Man Standing series, and while there is an interconnection between the books, Avery Flynn does a great job in explaining the context to make this book a great standalone.
Griff is in a Last Man Standing competition with his cousins, and while his cousin Dixon has fallen in love and out of the running in Book 1, Griff is up for his six blind dates to see if he would be Cupid's victim. Too bad, he got hit by one of the Love God's arrow before he even put up his Bramble account.
Kinsey is new to the city life and is grateful that her best friend Morgan - who also happens to be Griff's sister - welcomes her with open arms and convinces her to share her apartment until she can stand on her own feet. She is, however, afraid that Morgan, whose family owns a top cosmetics company, is going to be upset that Kinsey is the new researcher for a rival and that Kinsey has also been keeping another secret.
I don't think I have related any harder to any book character than Kinsey and Griff. I adore her solutions-oriented personality and penchant to talk a-mile-a-minute (which is what I tend to do when I am anxious). On the other hand, Griff is equally charming with a similar solutions-based approach and his grunt-as-a-response mode (which is what I also tend to do when I am NOT anxious).
Their connection may have been insta-love, but the road to the spicy scenes was not as short and well paced. And boy, when we hit those parts, it is hot, hot, hot. I mean, is it surprising that a science genius is no stranger to female anatomy? #justsayin
If you're looking for a great steamy rom-com read, I would highly recommend this book.
TW: parental emotional abuse, workplace harassment and sexism

ABOUT THE BOOK
So I may be in the Last Single Man Standing competition with my cousins, but five minutes around Kinsey was all it took to take myself out. Who cares about bragging rights when you've just found the woman you're going to marry? Sure, she may work for my biggest competitor. Sure, she's not dating right now. Sure, she's my sister's best friend and I've been sworn off her. But somehow she agrees to go on six fake dates to help me save face in this competition.
What does the guy who never uses his words have to say to convince the girl of his dreams that they're perfect for each other?
