Mansplainer


Last Man Standing, Book #3
by Avery Flynn

⭐⭐⭐/5

 

Mansplaining - Google definition:


“The explanation of something by a man, typically to a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing.”


The third and final book in Avery Flynn’s Beckett cousins series releases today, Mansplainer, and I think poor Nash gets a bad rep undeservedly!


Nash is the last of the cousins to have to “not fall in love “ in order to win the bet they have… but he’s been in on the scheme from the beginning and there’s no way he isn’t going to win… even if he has to get creative with the rules!


In order to not have his cousins pick his match, he gets himself married for convenience with someone who isn’t interested in love and a real marriage either. Chelle just needs a husband to get her inheritance and then she can go back to her charity work and writing romance novels- she doesn’t need a man in her life!


Of course these two fall for each other and fight it the whole time! Chelle feels unworthy of Nash’s attraction due to their age discrepancy and not being the skinny model type he’s usually seen with. But Nash somehow falls for the prickly Chelle and her brood of animals…


Now for the mansplaining: Nash is a fixer. He sees peoples problems and immediately goes into problem solver mode. Chelle and his family see him as mansplaining to everyone, but in no way does he come off as condescending. He genuinely desires to make things better/ easier for others. Thus, my only issue with the book is that he’s constantly sassed for just trying to help others. It takes Chelle forever to see where his heart is and that his love language is fixing things for others.


Overall, this was another fun romp in Harbour City… and it looks the cousins’ siblings aren’t off the matching making hook!



Mansplainer by Avery Flynn was release June 27th, 2022.



I received a complimentary copy of this ebook from Entangled Publishing through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
