Avery
So, the name’s Avery Harper but my nearest and dearest usually call me Av. I’ve been told I come off as a bitch but in reality, I just won’t take no BS…
I play hard but I love harder. I like to party with the best! Honestly is there any other way to party?
During my senior of high school something went horribly wrong making me the woman I am today.
Who you ask is that woman? Well let me just tell you. I sleep with who I want, when I want, where I want. If that makes me a whore than stop bragging boys because you ain’t any better. They use, and abuse, and I take all I can get from the idiots willing to pay. Rich college boys… Gotta love um, big stupid and willing to pay top dollar to be seen with the likes of me and I’m worth every penny.
But I’ll tell you a secret, I’d give it all up for a guy strong enough to see past the bullshit and talented enough to make me come. Haven’t met one like that yet, so until then me and my girls will keep running and playing and working hard. Because that’s what we do.

I LOVED this story. What a wonderful story with such great fully developed character's.
Avery is hurt by a person that should never have touched her when she tells her parents they choose not to believe her. That would destroy any 18 years old. So she leaves her family and deals with her pain the only way she knows how booze and sex.
Grayson has been in love with Avery since they were children. He has no idea why she acts like she does, but he always makes sure she gets home safe. So when something changes and she notices him.
In this story, you get to see a troubled girl grow and love and mature. She learns that love is given no matter what and even when you mess up it will be there for the right person.

This is a well written book with strong characters and an interesting story line. The authors do a great job building the story and keeping you glued to the pages from start to finish. They bring friends Avery and Grayson together in this emotional read ,throwing in a few surprises along the way. They move the story fluidly and deliver another great read. I would recommend this book.

Avery lives from party to party, doesnt take it very seriously when it comes to who she fucks as long as he can take care of her food and bills and drinks way too much.
Greyson has always been the designed driver and has often brought her home drunk. For years he has hoped that she sees him for who he is but does not want to take advantage of her when she urges advances in her drunken mood. After watching her for years playing her game, he decides to take the plunge and asks her out for a date. Anytime Avery expects him to show himself like any other man, sex for payment. But Greyson wants her for who she is, not for what she does.
Avery does not know how to deal with this, often seeks the argument because this is one way she reacts. Greyson does not let himself be chased away and keeps coming back which only surprises Avery more.
Greyson has been secretly in love with her for years, but can Avery learn to love herself and open her heart to someone else?
A beautiful story that tells what a traumatic experience can do for a young woman who seems to have it all.
Greyson is a young man who is too good for this world. He accepts a lot from Avery as long as she won't do one thing; getting involved with other men. His actions stem from his love for Avery. But will his goodness melt Avery?
A wonderful story with lots of steamy sex scenes and a HEA

5.0 out of 5 starsA rewarding and uplifting read.
By sewsummore TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 13 June 2018
Format: Kindle Edition
Avery was raped by an older friend of her father and when she arrived home, bleeding and distraught her father refused to believe it was rape. As a result she left home to forge a life for herself in the only way she knew how. Having sex with unlimited men, drinking to excess, all became a way of life, shutting herself off from feeling and the family she had. She had one friend that she had forgotten over the years, he watch over her in dismay, making sure she arrived home safe, caring for her until she was ready to see the love that he h.ad for her. This was a deeply emotional read, but he unconditional love Greyson gave Avery enables her to quit drinking and keep herself only for him. I think it it was the care and love that Greyson gave Avery which made it possible for her to find herself and leave the pain of the past behind, a rewarding and uplifting read.

I'd leave 3.5 stars if I could for this emotional story of Avery and Grayson. I really wanted to love this story, but I couldn't completely do so given that I don't see how Grayson can just look beyond certain aspects of Avery's current and past lifestyle. Avery is a happy and spirited young lady who suffers a tragic event and neither her father or brother believe her, which causes her to turn into a girl/women on a mission using her body as bait. Grayson has been in love with Avery forever it seems and thinks there is a reason she asks the way she does and he wants to find out as her friend, if nothing else. They begin a relationship and with it comes many ups and downs as they navigate this unchartered territory. It was good and I felt the emotions as I read it, I just couldn't get past how it seemed unrealistic in how Grayson was devoted to Avery.

This is the 1st in a new series and is Avery and Grayson’s story. Avery endures a horrific event, and when she tells her parents they refuse to believe her, which end up with her leaving home and coping by the only means she knows how to, sex and excessive drinking. Grayson has loved Avery since they were children, and he has no clue as to why she is so troubled and acting the way she is, he just makes sure she gets home safely. This is a well written story which these dynamic authors’ have done an outstanding job in penning. This story is an emotional roller coaster with some unexpected surprises, and I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from these authors whose work I recommend.

After a tragedy when she was 18 is no longer the happy innocent teenager she once was. She chooses to deal with her emotions with partying and that means not allowing anyone close enough to her to hurt her.
Grayson has loved Avery since he was a child. She may never see him as more than a friend but that doesn’t stop him from wanting to protect her.
When Avery finally starts to see him as more than a friend it takes them on a journey filled with twists, emotion and chemistry but will she finally open up and let him in her heart?
This author is new to me and I look forward to reading her other stories. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

I have enjoyed reading other books by J Haney so when a new series starts I though well why not start a new series and one I know I would enjoy. I am so happy I did as this book was such a great read and I can’t wait for the next book in the series. Avery is young and has had to deal with some tough times in her past and due to this she has become the ultimate party girl. Greyson her childhood friend has always been I the shadows waiting to be noticed. When she finely notices him all the fun starts.

I enjoyed this book but I found the blurb (and even the title) to be misleading. When you think Working Class Beauties-and the way the book described itself, you would think she was a stripper, hooker etc. No, she is just someone who REALLY likes sex with random men and might even expect them to buy her stuff etc. Basically she uses men.
Other than the above I really enjoyed the book, I wish there was more to do with her past, and overcoming it and how her family pretty much disowned her but there wasn't any of that.

Having read other books by this author I was excited to read a new series by her and it did not disappoint. This book is about Avery a young woman who deals with a horrible past by being the ultimate party girl and Greyson the childhood friend, the good boy living in the shadows, just waiting to be noticed. When Avery finally notices Greyson the sparks fly and the roller coaster ride of emotions that follows will have you hooked and page turning to the very end. This book is a must read.

Avery
J. Haney and S.I. Hayes have done it again with another well written novel. If you like romance, crime and strong willed female this is the novel for you to pick up. It has moments that will keep you guessing and surprises that come out of nowhere. Star crossed lovers no matter the situation find each other in the end. I highly recommend all of the books written by these two wonderful authors.

I cried and cried while I read this book. It was such a soul stripping story. The out of control, angry, hurt little girl who grows up to be loud, brash, and on the downward spiral woman. Every woman needs a Greyson to watch out and take care of them. This was an amazing story to read. Loved it from beginning to end.

This book was so much better, hotter, lovelier, crazier, yummier, etc., etc., etc. than I could have EVER imagined. Reading the blurb of the book told me that it would interest me. However, reading the book had me falling in love with the story and the author! I don't even have the right words to describe how I feel about this book - it is that A-MAZ-ING!!!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I love a book where the guy is in the sidelines, secretly loving the heroine and just waiting so he can save her. Greyson patiently waits until Avery needs him. Can Greyson create the environment for Avery to be able to spread her wings with a healthy versus self-destructive bent? Read to find out if a love for one that has been since grade school, can become a forevermore.
July 24, 2018
OMG I couldn't stop reading the book. I loved it from the beginning till the end ! I fell positively in love with Greyson ! He was the perfect man so sweet and damn sexy . I wanted to punch Avery's Dad in the mouth ! Yeah I know it's just a book but damn what father doesn't believe his baby girl? Ugh I was so pissed I almost broke a tooth grinding them . I don't want to write a spoiler so I'm gonna end the review here lol

I’ve read several books written by S.I. Haney & J. Haney; she has done a good job at writing a good book. She is becoming one of my favorite authors and I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.

I really enjoyed this story. Avery was a beautifully damaged character and Grey was so patient with her. They loved each other since they were kids and finally got their chance to be together in this story. The only thing that was missing was an epilogue... I really wanted to see where things went from here and am missing a more complete sense of resolution...

This Story once again touched me on a personal level. I don't know how these authors do it but each book I read their style enables you to be in the moment. Their characters are so well developed that you connect with them on a very basic level you feel all their struggles and accomplishments. Don't judge someone without knowing their story. I definitely recommend it as a must read.

sweet love story but with grit in its soul! Great characters - Grayson is an amazing guy with a huge heart who has loved Avery for as long as he can remember - finally he gets his chance. Avery a very troubled girl who just need some one to believe in her!

I have really enjoyed reading this book, the author did such a great job developing the characters, that I feel like I really know them, and not just the major characters, but the minor ones too.
Also, it caused me to lose quite a bit of sleep while I was reading it, because it was so hard to put down at night.

A Complex Story.

Avery is a complex girl with millions of issues that keep her tided to the past she's stuck in a never ending cycle of self destructive behavior. I can honestly say this story has been one intense emotional journey on every level.
