His Remedy to the Madness: A Waynesville Love Story
Remedy Worthy is barely surviving.
With the heaviness of her past weighing on her, she's attempting to swim against life's current. However, the task seems nearly impossible. It's not until her elderly neighbor becomes her best friend. Now with someone to encourage her to keep swimming, she's unaware that being Mr. Ernie's one and only friend will be the answer to prayers she forgot she prayed.
Erys Moore has been the reaper of death for fifteen years of his life. Now with retirement at the front of his mind, he's beaconed back to Waynesville by an old friend. But his return is welcomed with a disturbing voicemail from his father. What he walks into is something he quickly realizes he's unequipped for. Not of a man of vast emotions, he's being undone from the inside out.
When this unlikely pair joins forces, the question lingers—can this be the remedy for every wound or will it end in tragedy?

The sobbing that took place while reading this book was ALARMING. I’ve never cried this much reading a book. Aubree has never disappointed me but this is my favorite book of hers yet.
God has a funny way of placing people in your life when you least expect it but when you need them the most. This is a story of forgiveness and new beginnings. Letting go and finally living.
Sweet Lick Ernie was One of a kind. He will remain embedded in my brain for years to come.
Remedy was one hell of a FMC. To watch her selflessly care for others while she was losing her self… just for “FRANKLIN” to come along and knock those walls down. Two people coming together because of one wild card to potentially a happy ever after????
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STORY.

✨Book Review✨
This might be the easiest five stars I’ve given all year.
No hesitation. No debate. Just straight excellence.
This book was INCREDIBLE. Beautifully written, layered, emotional, and deeply intentional. Aubree Pynn is truly in a league of her own because how do you keep dropping banger after banger like this??
In this story, we meet Remedy Worthy, who is barely holding it together. The weight of her past is heavy, and it’s something she’s carrying every single day. But despite everything, she refuses to fold — especially because of her elderly neighbor turned best friend, Ernie, who needs her just as much as she needs him.
What she doesn’t realize is that this unlikely friendship?
It’s the very blessing she’s been praying for.
Then we have Erys Moore.
Fresh out of the military after 15 years, known as one of the deadliest men walking — and emotionally? Completely shut down. He’s been conditioned to suppress everything, so when he’s called back home to Waynesville, he’s not expecting to feel anything…
But coming home forces him to confront parts of himself he tried to bury.
And somehow, in the middle of all that…
he finds healing in the most unexpected place.
⸻
Let me tell you something…
The emotions this book pulled out of me??
INSANE.
One minute I’m laughing.
Next minute I’m crying.
Then I’m swooning, kicking my feet.
Then I’m ready to fight somebody.
Then I’m right back in my feelings again.
It was a RIDE.
Now let’s talk about Remedy and Ernie — because that relationship??
Beautiful.
The way they showed up for each other, loved on each other, and became each other’s safe place?? Yeah… that did something to me.
And when Erys enters the picture trying to “help” but lowkey making things more complicated until Mr. Ernie had to step in?? 😂😂
Baby… when that man cut UP at that nursing home, I was HOLLERING.
⸻
This is how you write a romance.
We didn’t just get told these characters were falling in love —
we got to WATCH it happen.
Every moment. Every layer. Every wall coming down.
Watching Remedy slowly step into her softness instead of always having to be strong?? That hit DEEP. Because that’s real. That weight a lot of Black women carry — always having to hold everything together — it’s exhausting.
So to see her finally have a man who said, “you don’t have to do that anymore… I got it”??
Yeah… that meant something.
And Erys??
He STOOD on that.
When it came to Remedy, he handled BUSINESS.
The way he addressed the people from her past?? 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
They thought shit was sweet…
and quickly learned otherwise.
⸻
And listen… the spice??
😮💨😮💨
Yeah… I wasn’t mad at it AT ALL.
Put me through a mattress too while you at it 😂
⸻
I also loved getting a glimpse of Eden and Max again — that felt like a little gift. And the way Eden poured into Remedy?? That conversation about fear and choosing better for yourself was BEAUTIFUL.
But let’s be clear…
Ernie??
That’s my man.
Favorite character, no question.
He was funny, wise, accountable, and full of love. The way he showed up for both his son and Remedy?? Yeah… he was everything.
⸻
I could honestly keep going because there are SO many moments in this book that hit, but I’ll leave it at this:
This story is full of love, healing, accountability, and growth.
And if you pick it up??
You will not be disappointed.
Read it immediately.

ARC REVIEW
Perfection! I love when two damaged souls find love in each other, the kind that heals them both, together and individually. I could read a Waynesville tale over and over. Ernie was such a character, he had me laughing nonstop, and his son really found him at the right time. This book had me smiling, crying, and swooning. Who would’ve thought a stripper, an ex-military man/“retired”hood dude, and a retired pimp would leave my heart so full?
Highly Recommend!!!
4.5⭐️🌶️

I never thought I would fall in love with a pimp until Sweet Lick Ernie😂 This book had me laughing from page 1. I loved the twin flame of Ernie and Remedy. I loved the banter between Franklin and Mouth aka Erys and Remedy. Together they balanced each other out and everything came full circle.

4.5⭐️s. I loved Ernie.
April 14, 2026
This was a masterclass in storytelling. I cackled, I swooned, and I cried real tears. I fell in love with these characters from nearly page one.
Sweet Lick Ernie is a GEM! If there were literary Oscars, give him the Best Supporting Actor without hesitation.
Erys and Remedy delivered a dislike-to-lovers arc perfectly. Their banter started off fiery and biting, then slowly softened into inside jokes and something tender. I loved watching that shift happen. We see him disarm her, gently pulling her into softness. He saw her at her core and affirmed parts of her she’d never had reflected back before. And she redeemed him in her own way. Bringing peace to his internal chaos, helping him mend his relationship with Ernie, and recognizing the light and goodness in him when he couldn’t.
Watching them come together to care for Ernie, while also facing hard truths about themselves, was beautiful. They both had to confront the idea that they weren’t unlovable, that they were worthy and deserving of good things.
I loved every single page and honestly wouldn’t change a thing.

Loved it no notes 👌🏾 But Ernie was so beautifully written baby I cried and laughed and cried some more!

4⭐️ I truly ate this up from beginning to end so much so i was losing sleep not wanting to put this down. This was so fun yet beautiful at the same time. I loved Remedy as a FMC and how strong she was from the very beginning and the romance between her and Erys?? PLEASEEEE. The burn was so good, from hate to love!
“You sure this is what you want?” “Wanted you since you slapped the shit out of me. I’ll show you.”
Then don’t get me started on Sweet Lick Ernie! He had me laughing out loud and his story hit close to home for me with his illness and everything. Then the familial healing that took place … Ugh, this was so good!
Here are some more of my fav highlights:
“I love you. Without question, without worry, without bounds. I love you,”
I’ve never needed anything like I’ve need you, Remedy. You’re my remedy, you calm my chaos, you make me feel things that I’ve never felt before.”
—
He was down bad, periodddddd!

Actual rating: 4.5
This was a beautiful story of forgiveness, healing, friendship, and learning to love yourself, as well as, learning to let someone love you!
I loved Ernie so much! He was hilarious, had his demons, but deep inside, as with most of our black men, was a good man that lived life the best way he knew how… his friendship with remedy was beautiful and I loved it!
Remedy and Erys… I love how things progressed with them. They were both the light each other needed and so much more!
I really enjoyed this book! I laughed and shed a few tears. Beautifully written, there were some moments in the story where I feel the execution could have been better or seemed rushed, but all in all, I really enjoyed my read!

Aubreé had me crying on the plane 😭. Literally read in one setting and based on others reviews, I knew something was coming, I just didn’t know what. Ernie was hilarious. Erys and remedy felt like a true enemies to lovers situation. And trust me, I loved the banter and tension between them. these two did so much healing together and I loved that most.
April 21, 2026
I really enjoyed this story. My only gripe was Erine’s slang-it felt too modern for him to be an old-school player. Overall, good story.
June 2, 2026
I love how the story evolved from chaotic urban fiction into a deeper romance. Remedy’s tough exterior irritated me initially, but once her past unfolded, I was able to empathize with her. The mystery surrounding her past is what kept me intrigued.
Erys was my absolute favorite. Remedy softening, letting her guard down, and finally being loved properly was beautiful.
Unpopular opinion: Ernie irritated me. no 77 yr old man acts like that🤨

My Goodness
Remedy gave me the vibe of all vibes. She did not take any mess from anyone. So just imagine she would meet an old Pimp's son and fall for him. Mr. Ernie was a hoot and a holler in this story. I could see his old pimp pastel suits and cane. His son Erys would learn in enough time that his father wasn't as bad as he'd thought. It took Remedy loving his old man with warmness and care long before Erys was able to see the big picture. The ending was teary good. I loved this story and the characters. 4.5 stars.

Remedy and Erys
I loved this book. The love, laughter and the space that allowed them to thrive was beautiful. This gave me “you had me at hello” type of vibe and I loved it. I’m not a fan of profanity, but I typically try to read around it. This book has a lot and I usually give a star less, but their story was so good. Wait until you meet Ernie.

This book is chef kiss!!!
I was surprised when I saw the release for this book because I didn't see it coming! So I went into it "blind". This is one of those books that you didn't know you needed! It breaks your heart, makes you laugh, and puts you back together! It touches on serious topics in a way that's just real! I don't want to spoil it. You just need to read it! There's no miscommunication and no third act breakup up! Its almost like an enemies to lovers with a slow burn feel and just enough tension... its just so well done. Aubree Pynn has always been one of my favorites and this book just solidified it! One of her best works hands down!

Beautiful Love Story
3.5 stars
This was such a beautiful love story. I laughed. I cried a few times. I truly enjoyed reading this story.
Remedy is barely making it by in life and the only light in her world is her elderly neighbor next door. Erys has returned home from retirement trying not slip back into the darkness that’s had a hold on him for the last 15 years. One voicemail left from his father and plans with an old friend, leads him to come across Remedy. She might be his remedy to cure him from his inner demons and he might be her safety from falling into despair.
I loved how they both loved on eachother and made eachother comfortable enough to show eachother their soft side. Remedy truly has a heart of gold that should’ve been handled a whole lot better in the past. Erys is truly a wonderful lover and provider. Ernie is the star of the show ! I love him the most.
This story started off really strong but overtime it seemed to lose its steam. After Erys moved them in the romance seem to instantly take off without necessary build ups like date scenes that could support the forming of their relationship. Also some things left me puzzled. What was Cherie running from ? Why did Ernie do what he did to her ? Was may around when Cherie was? How is Erys going to takeover for Big Rod given everything that’d be at risk and everything he already has on his plate.
The story was good overall. Just missed a few marks for me.

This was such a good but emotional read!! I loved everything about this one and all I can say is Ernie was the highlight of this read… That old man was HILARIOUS.
Remedy was a hustler and survivor. I wholeheartedly admired her & Ernie’s relationship. Those two were inseparable and I could see why. She was a no nonsense woman and I loved that about her.
Erys was a trained killer and had no sympathy for others. The way we got to see his bond build with his father was beautiful and had me breaking down a couple of times. I loved how he did anything for the people he cared about and how soft he was with Rem.
These two love progressed fast and deep. I enjoyed seeing them be there for each other and heal each other’s trauma. Two damaged souls turned into one beautiful love story they both deserved.

I've been binge-reading Aubree Pynn's books, and I have to say—it's banger after banger! 🔥 Instant 5 stars! This book was absolutely everything.
Two damaged souls find each other and discover love in the process. This story is full of friendship, healing, love, and learning that it's okay to let someone in.
Remedy Worthy (and can we talk about how much I LOVE that name?!) is simply trying to survive the hand she's been dealt. Carrying the scars and trauma of her past, she finds an unexpected friendship with her elderly neighbor, Ernie.
Erys Moore has just returned home after serving 15 years in the military. Known as one of the deadliest men around, he's emotionally unavailable and has buried everything he's ever felt. But one phone call back to Waynesville changes the course of his life.
I absolutely loved Remedy as the FMC! The way she and Erys met had me cracking up. 😂 She was a complete firecracker with a mouth to match, and I loved every second of it. She wasn't taking anybody's mess—especially not Erys'. What Erys didn't realize after that first meeting was that Remedy would become exactly what he needed... and he would become exactly what she needed too.
Now let's talk about Sweet Lick Ernie! 😂 When I tell you that man had me laughing nonstop, I mean it! Every scene with him was pure entertainment.
One of my favorite parts of the book was the bond between Ernie and Remedy. It was such a beautiful, heartfelt relationship. They genuinely loved and looked out for each other, and Ernie absolutely did not play about his girl.
I also loved watching the father-and-son relationship slowly rebuild. Seeing them work through their past and reconnect added so much heart to the story.
And yes... I completely fell in love with this family—especially Ernie. ❤️ He easily stole the show for me.
If you're looking for a story filled with healing, laughter, and romance, I definitely recommend picking this one up!

I don’t even know how to explain what His Remedy to the Madness: A Waynesville Love Story just did to me… but I’m going to try.
Aubree Pynn didn’t just write a love story she wrote something raw, aching, and painfully beautiful. This book feels like sitting in the middle of a storm and realizing the calm you’ve been searching for was a person all along.
Remedy Worthy’s pain? You feel it. Not in a distant, “oh that’s sad” way,but in a heavy, chest-tightening, can’t look away kind of way. And Erys Moore… he’s not your typical broken hero. He’s quiet devastation. The kind that creeps up on you and then suddenly you’re emotionally wrecked at 2 am questioning everything.
What makes this story hit so hard is how real it is. Grief, loneliness, healing it’s messy here. There’s no instant fix. No perfect love swooping in to save the day. Just two people, carrying worlds of hurt, somehow finding something that feels like hope.
And that question lingering the whole time “is love enough to heal what life has shattered?” it stays with you long after the last page.
This isn’t just a romance.
It’s survival.
It’s redemption.
It’s the kind of story that quietly breaks you… and then puts you back together differently.
I didn’t just read this book.

5⭐️ Aubree Pynn never miss.
This book had me glued from page 1. I could read about sweet lick Ernie , remedy & erys all day long. These characters will forever live within me.
Remedy has lived A painful life since childhood, after inheriting her grandmother house her neighbor is a 77 yr old pimp with dementia. Their relationship is one for the book. I promise Ernie kept me laughing throughout this whole story. The way she loved & took care of that man even when she didn’t have the capacity too she still made sure Ernie had everything he desired.
Erys went away for 17 years to the military. When he finally comes back home life is different from when he left. His father health is declining & he has a new bff Remedy. Erys & remedy were definitely enemies their banter lowkey gave me life because through it all you could feel the chemistry brewing between them
Once they finally stopped fighting with each other, the loved they shared was so beautiful. Erys made sure to heal all of remedy wounds & in return she was indeed the remedy to his chaos.
That epilogue wrecked me . 😢

The Calm To My Storm!
This beautiful beautiful book tugged at all my heart strings in the best way. I cried for the FMC that just wanted to know why and for the MMC that just needed his father’s love. It was so beautifully written and composed it’s almost indescribable. To have somebody come in and see you when you feel unworthy and unlovable because that’s how you were made to feel all your life is next level intimacy. Being treated less than her name Remedy, was what she was used to until she met her sweet, funny aging neighbor Ernest aka Sweet Lick Ernie. She had been mishandled by everyone that was supposed to love her except her grandma May who had passed. He treated her like the daughter he never had and she treated him with a mutual respect by looking out for him and his home. In a whirlwind night they encounter his son Erys whom he hadn’t seen in years because of several things. Forcing his way in their lives and uprooting it started out as a recipe for disaster. He and Rem bumped heads until he begin to let the control take a backseat and see their world through a different lens. His bonds with his dad and REM started looking up and he begin to allow Remedy in and she did the same and they calmed the chaos and storm in their own heads and hearts. GOD helped them in his divine way by way or Ernie connect and build something so real and raw it became the ultimate remedy to all the madness they’d endured. It was a very powerful message regarding letting time pass without making amends and growing and dementia for those with it and those that are the caretakers as well. Easily a 10/10

Ernie🥹
Remedy was a woman with a terrible family and the weight of the world on her shoulders, and her only friend in the world was her eighty-year-old neighbor with dementia. Erys is a man with a dark past who's been away from home for the last fifteen years. So imagine his surprise when he comes home and finds a smart-mouthed woman caring for his estranged father.
Remedy and Erys were two broken people who found solace in each other, but as much as I loved them, sweet lick Ernie is the star of the show here. He was funny and had so much heart, and the way he gravitated to and protected Remedy in his own way was so endearing. Watching the progression of Ernie's disease and how it also brought Rememdy and Erys together simultaneously broke me down and built me back up. As always, AP did her big one.

ARC REVIEW
One thing, miss ma'am is always going to do is deliver a good a** story. The burn was slow but it was amazing. Watching Erys and Remedy fall in love and heal each other was everything. Remedy was such a feisty character. Really trying to just get through life. The best way she can and her having a friend in ernie that friendship was literally everything... Hand me sitting up here, wishing I had an old a** x pimp bestie 🤣🤣. I like how everyone kind of healed each other through this book. All three characters really relied on one another and it was necessary in their healing process for them.To really lay everything out on the table. I'd totally had a feeling about remedy, and her parents at least one of her parents, and I was right detective hat secured. They were all basically punk b**** ass n******. I will have to say though my favorite character with sweetlick. Ernie, that old man had me giggling. Even through his decline in health, he was still able to be there. For his son and his daughter, no in-law. Miss penny, just can write her a** off, and there is literally not one book, I don't like by her..

Aubree never lets me down, and this book was no exception. I felt everything while reading it laughter, tears, even moments that had me ready to scream and somehow, it all felt perfectly balanced. The bond between Ernest and Remedy was undeniable. They didn’t just love each other they needed each other. Remedy truly lived up to her name, becoming a source of healing for everyone around her, even while navigating her own pain. After a life marked by mistreatment and the loss of the one person she felt truly supported her, watching her still show up with love and strength was powerful. One of my favorite parts was how her love for Ernie helped mend the fractured relationship between father and son, while also allowing her to grow and experience a kind of love she deserved with Erys. This was easily a 5-star read before I even reached midway and it’s definitely one I won’t forget anytime soon.

Sweet Lick Ernie & the gang 💙
Wow! I haven’t been impacted by a book so emotionally in a while! This was a story of redemption & love. The love and loyalty between these pages were shown across generations! If nothing else, this Waynesville love story showed me that love is always the winner. Grief is the final act of love. However, this book made me feel like love will live on through the legacy that was left behind. Sweet Lick Ernie taught them well yall! This book made me feel all the feels 💙!
The way AP crafted this story was so beautiful, if I could give this book an infinite amount of stars I would because it was THAT good! Please enjoy this read yall! I will a thousand times over recommend this read!

I almost DNF’d this book because for some reason I just wasn’t getting into it at first. I took a break, came back to it, and I’m soooo glad I did because whew this book had me cryingggg okay! Something kept telling me not to give up on it and I’m happy I listened.
I truly loved this story, even though I still feel like something was missing for me and I can’t fully put my finger on what it was. But overall, I really enjoyed it. The characters were everything! Sweet Lick Ernie had me cracking up the entire time. His banter with Erys and everybody else was hilarious. And Remedy? Yeah, she’s definitely one of my favorite FMCs now. She deserved every single thing “Franklin” gave her.
This book ended up being such an emotional ride and now I definitely want to read more from Aubree Pynn.

I had no business reading this at work! Had me at my desk crying 😭 I love everything about Remedy and Erys together ❤️ they complement each other so well. The people around them better figure out that they don’t play about each other. They need to find something safe to do. Especially Remedy’s family. All of them can go straight to hell.
Sweet Lick Ernie is my guy! Absolutely my favorite character. He had no filter and was out here just living and loving life despite everything. His relationship with Remedy was everything. The way they took care of each other was beautiful to see.
Aubree did her big one with this
