My Review
5 of 5 Getting Rowdy
Lord have mercy me I wanted to get Rowdy with Rowdy! Lordy lordy lordy I have never read such a hot ass series as this one. I mean I felt like I was right there with Avery and Rowdy. If you have followed along the series so far you know in book one they had a few moments and then in book two Rowdy wanted Avery but she kept him at bay because of her issues and then in this book she is so scared of her past that she pushed Rowdy a little to far and when he does something and she catches him lord I wanted to jump in the book and be like see dummy stop pushing him and start pulling him towards you.
Rowdy Rowdy Rowdy........ lord have mercy I love me some dam Rowdy. He has liked Avery for so long and she keeps pushing him away. A man can only take so much rejection before he breaks so when Rowdy does something and Avery catches him she is forced to come to terms with her feelings for him. But everything from Avery's past is coming to get her and when Rowdy realizes Avery is in trouble his over protective nature turns up and the heat between them is undeniable but Avery is so scared and when things start to happen to her she has no option but to trust Rowdy.
Will Rowdy be able to save Avery? Will Avery knock her walls down and let Rowdy in? You will have to read it to believe it!
Since first publishing in January 1996, Lori Foster has become a Waldenbooks, Borders, USA Today, Publisher’s Weekly and New York Times bestselling author. Lori has published through a variety of houses, including Kensington, St. Martin’s, Harlequin, Silhouette and Samhain. She is currently with Berkley/Jove.
Lori believes it’s important to give back to the community as much as possible, and for that reason she ran special contests in conjunction with a publisher, facilitating many first sales for new authors.

Along with her good friend, Duffy Brown, Lori hosts a very special annual “Reader & Author” event in West Chester, Ohio. Proceeds from the event have benefited many worthy causes, including the Hamilton County YWCA Battered Women’s Shelter, the Animal Adoption Foundation, The Conductive Learning Center for children with spina bifida and cerebral palsy, and The One Way Farm, Children’s Home.
In 2007, Lori put together The Write Ingredients a cookbook of recipes donated by popular authors. Proceeds from the cookbook go toward Lori’s ongoing “Troop project” of collecting and mailing fun, and sometimes necessary, items to our troops.
In 2008, Lori coordinated with other authors of her choosing, and through Berkley, arranged for the publication of The Power of Love, a special romance anthology of novellas about empowering women. All author and agent proceeds from the anthology go to the Hamilton Co YWCA Battered women’s shelter.
In 2009, Tails of Love, another romance anthology with Lori and other contributing authors, was published through Berkley with all agent and author proceeds to benefit The Animal Adoption Foundation.
In 2010, The Gift of Love romance anthology, with Lori and other contributing authors, was published with proceeds to benefit The Conductive Learning Center, a school for children with cerebral palsy and spina bifida.
