Passion Creek (The Layton Family #3)
by
Avery Flynn (Goodreads Author)
Uptight history professor Sam Layton may have the abs of a movie action hero, but he stopped believing in the joy of adventure a long time ago. However, when a one-night stand with a tattooed bombshell leads to a treasure map for the long-buried Rebecca’s Bounty, the call to action is too strong to ignore.

Josie is a waitress and her last day did not go as planned. She has found a map to a treasure in Dry Creek where she is headed to begin with. All she wanted to do was head to Dry Creek to paint and be happy for 6 months. She has a one night stand with Sam Layton who finds out she has the map he too is looking for as it belongs to his family. The two try to work together and between misunderstandings and keeping their hands off of each other things heat up.

Not my normal kind of book I would choose but I was given this book as a ARC - I was hooked and read it in two hours. No supernatural just pure romance with a little action thrown in.....
Josie and Sam seem to be doomed at the start....treasure, mob ties & danger cause major roadblocks right off the bat to deter their relationship but they find...um (creative ways should I say?) to overcome them. :)
Off to put the first two books on my to-read list....curious about the rest of the Layton boys...more

Avery Flynn has written a wonderful suspenseful romance. She pulls you into a world of intrigue and swirls in a lot of love and romance. Passion Creek begins in the hot spot of Las Vegas and ends in the small town of Dry Creek Nebraska. From the beginning when you meet waitress Josie Winarsky you love her character. She is intelligent, sexy and wise ass. She is a phenomenal heroine. After meeting Josie we soon meet Sam Layton. A very hunky history professor. With the picture that Avery Flynn pai...more

Passion Creek is a story that brings some of the hottest romance I've ever read to the pages of a book. Each scene brings spark of tantalizing fury as Josie and Sam ignite their passion during a search for a lost treasure. The very treasure she needs to save her family from the wrath of a sleazy, slimy mobster trying to climb the ranks.
There is intense action, suspense, and of course erotically written scenes that leave you with feelings that will rock you to the core. You can try to put this on...more

Passion Creek is a suspensefully sexy read that goes from the glitz of Vegas to the quiet countryside of Nebraska where two very opposite people can't help but be drawn to each other. For buxom and outspoken Josie, just when she thinks she's off to finally live her life as she wants comes a dirty-minded loan shark saying her brother owes him money and he's come to claim it from her. The reasons behind this charade are a bit convoluted and rely on events happening off page (perhaps in another boo...more
Josie and Sam steam up the pages in the 3rd installment of The Layton Family Series by Avery Flynn and fans of contemporary romance with a little suspense edge will enjoy reading Passion Creek. I've read the 2nd book,
Seduction Creek
(formally titled Dry Creek Bed) and we get a glance at Sam and Josie at the end but it's not necessary to have read Seduction Creek to enjoy Passion Creek. But both books are good and I plan to go back and read book 1,
Temptation Creek

I was very excited to get my hands on the third book in Avery Flynn's Layton family series. I loved the first two books and I really enjoy Avery's writing so I looked forward to this.

My Review:
For once in his life, Sam decides to let go of his inhibitions and go after the hot waitress in Vegas for a one-night stand. What he doesn't realize at the time is that she has ties to his hometown where he is a very different person.
Josie is an artist. She's working her last night in Vegas before she heads out for a 6 month artists retreat in Dry Creek. Knowing where she is headed, one of her regular customers gives her a gift...a treasure map for Dry Creek... a treasure known as Reb...more

Passion Creek was a great short read with a great story line The main character was Josie, she lived in Las Vegas and worked as a waitress but only until she had saved enough money to continue on her dream of being an artist by taking classes in Dry Creek.
On her last night at work she is given a diary from a kind man who had kept it in his possession for 9 years, she thinks nothing of it and takes it, she is then hounded by Snips, a nasty little man and he tells her that her twin brother Cy owes...more

I read a .pdf version of this book that was sent to me by the author after I won a giveaway drawing (and this review is months past due...sorry Avery). For the book being around the standard length of a typical "romance" novel, I enjoyed this book very much. This book kept me excited, in the sexual sense, throughout the whole book, even during the suspenseful pages. This author uses great detail and I could visualize everything she wrote - from the sex scenes to the small cave to the scar across...more
Avery Flynn’s third book on the Layton brothers doesn’t disappoint in her journey for two unlikely souls to find each other. Her characters are tough and full of real problems with real emotions. They love as fiercely as they tangle, which leads to powerful moments on their search for a treasure that will set them free.Read More...
Avery Flynn does it again. I read the first of the Layton family series after it was on a best of list for 2011. The third book, Sam Layton's story, was probably my favorite of the three books in the series so far. It has the right blend of mystery, romance, and steam. Flynn always brings the steam. A sexy and fun read, for sure.
I loved this book and I don't know how to gush about it without spoiling it! The hero is a hot, bookish professor - just the kind I fall for- and the heroine is snarky and smart. Opposites who erupt in sizzling attraction. I highly recommend this book!
This was a great read! i liked the mystery dynamic of this story and that lovers united with a goal in mind and let their romance build naturally on that. I found this book hard to put down and read it in a few short evenings.
Review coming...
Sexy and fabulous!
