Digital camera Shy (Classes in Love E book 1)

Avery and Finn: Forever My Top Book Couple!
OMG where has this book been my whole adult life?!?I throughly enjoyed every single aspect of this stunning novel. The writing was top notch: seriously some of the best I’ve read in a while, the characters were so realistic and raw: Avery is what every single women should aspire to be and Finn was the perfect combination of masculine toughness but emotionally competent, his vulnerability was sexy. I loved them both separately but I absolutely adored them together. The steamy scenes were so damn beautiful as they were so raw and enticing. Avery hesitating to take Finn’s … enormous “friend” at first was kinda funny but also very realistic because let’s be honest, the size of the boat matters but when it’s a super yacht we get nervous 😂 but that’s just part of what made this story so enjoyable. Relatable characters and realistic writing.The plot definitely took me by surprise as it was the last thing I was expecting. I wanted Avery to jump on that girl but I was proud of how she handled it.Reading this was such an enjoyable experience. This is my first novel by this author but definitely not my last.

One of my all time favorite books
I came for the “bedroom teacher”, I stayed for the therapy to my soul. This book, hands down, is the most beautiful work of art I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. I know what you’re thinking. I promise it is so much more than the spice that drew you to this amazing-ness on paper (or ebook.) (And trust me, the spice was EVERYTHING!-almost.) The ‘Note to Readers’ instantly made me fall in love with the whole book. The dedication was perfect. I’m certain my jaw was on the floor the entire first chapter, and I gusped so many gasps, I nearly hyperventilated. (Mason’s audacity!) By the second chapter I was outright laughing. Not just huffing like a hedgehog, full on, genuine laughs. (Mrs. Mattley needs to be a real life person, because I adore her!) By chapter 3, I already had 17 highlights and felt like I was a kid that snuck into mom’s prized collection of sharpies that unleashed on the beautiful white walls (but instead it was a digital highlighter marking almost every word on almost every page.) This book spoke to my soul on a level I truly did not think was possible. The messages conveyed in such a poetic (or downright s3xy) manner hit home so hard. I loved seeing the growth in Avery and Finn. I adored learning about demanding respect, kindness, and loyalty from every relationship in my life, and not just because Kay told me to. Kay was able to create this work of art that made me want to start attempting to believe in my own magic. It was therapy in a book, and now it’s my entire personality. (Maybe that’s counterproductive, but, baby steps.) You need to be prepared for this next part, because it’s rather huge. (No, I’m not referring to any part of Finn.) I think this just became my new favorite book. After 99 highlights, ambushing my husband just so I could talk about it (none of it was coherent because I was at a loss for words,) having an existential crisis, and then basically crying about how it was a work of art, I think it’s locked in. Please, for the love, if you can handle any level of spice, do NOT pass on reading this beautiful work of art.

Mixed Thoughts
A fun read, but it had its ups and downs for me. I absolutely love the body positivity message, and it’s always great to see a heroine embracing her curves. But, wow, the FMC is SO insecure. She could’ve been a total badass, but never really got there, and it just got frustrating. The MMC? Hot and super protective (love a possessive streak!), but he couldn’t communicate to save his life.The spicy scenes were 🔥 for sure, but the FMC’s lack of confidence during every one of them got to be exhausting. The lack of honesty and communication between the two was a major miss—like, please just talk to each other! 🙄SPOILER***Plot twist: the best friend being the cheater? That was a weird vibe. But hey, I love when the girlies unite, so maybe that’s just me. Also, is “too hot to date” a new trope? Not sure how I feel about that one.Lastly, I cannot unread some of the lines in this book—“shoving an unripe ear of corn into a straw” (when talking about 🍑) and “you won’t know what you’re swimming in, the water in this tub or your c**” had me both laughing and cringing at the same time. 😂🤮All in all, “Camera Shy” was entertaining but had some issues that kept it from being a favorite. If you’re here for spice, you won’t be disappointed, but the lack of communication and FMC’s constant insecurity might bug you.

As a plus size and curvy girly this book spoke to me. It made me cry in the best way. Reading this book healed me in so many ways. I couldn’t thank the author enough for writing such an amazing and touching story. It was spicy in all the right ways and have such an amazing message behind it.Don’t ever settle for less than you deserve. You are a queen!

I have seen this book and it has been on my TBR for ages and I don’t know why I never picked it up sooner. This book was like a comfort blanket of everything I love about reading.The FMC Avery thought her 30th was going to be her year. Boss b*tch at work, perfect boyfriend, she’s ready for the next step, so when it all comes crashing down she does what anyone would do. Runs to Vegas.She needs escape, time to breathe and figure out who she is outwith a ‘man’ when she bumps into her godly neighbour the MMC Finn she automatically friend zones him.He’s muscle, looks and wet dreams and she’s just simple, homely, curvy. They become good friends and she decides to take life by the horns and find out who she is and what she likes, what better way to do that than getting the hot guy under her.Finn is dealing with his own toxic breakup, trying to learn that not all women are out to manipulate him, his friendship with Avery shows him that maybe people see him underneath his looks too.This book was so good at touching on both the FMC and MMC having bad past relationships. It wasn’t all about the MMC swooping in to ‘fix’ her, she helped hun grow and learn.The spice was 🔥 and we all need a Finn in our lives. I really just enjoyed every aspect of this book and it was a joy to read and escape.5⭐️3🌶️
