Book Review: Gunner by Aubree Pynn
“Gunner,” the second book in Aubree Pynn’s Lavendale series, is an electrifying and compact read that delivers an intense mix of spice, angst, and desire. Set against the backdrop of a brewing war between Lavendale’s knights and queens and Ganton Hill’s prophets and monarchs, this short novel packs a punch.
Gunner and his crew are embroiled in the chaos, calling hits and bracing for the tumultuous battle ahead. Amidst the turmoil, Gunner’s quest for peace with the powerful and alluring Amari adds a layer of complexity and intensity to the narrative. Their magnetic pull toward each other, bound by the street life and their connection through Amari’s brother, Prince (Gunner’s best friend), creates a compelling and fiery romance. As they navigate their dangerous and forbidden attraction, they cross a line of no return, adding to the book’s thrilling edge.
Aubree Pynn, often hailed as the queen of short novels, does not disappoint with “Gunner.” The story is short, sweet, and super spicy, making it a perfect read for those looking for a quick yet satisfying escape. Pynn’s ability to weave a gripping tale in a limited number of pages is truly commendable, and “Gunner” is a testament to her talent.

Gunner and Amari have been dancing around this attraction for years, both thinking they were blocked by loyalty to the one they lost--the one who loved them both. But now it's time to step into their meant to be...
I love this short. Gunner did not have time to play with her, lol. He knew what he was up against, but he also knew no one was going to be with Amari but him. This was a good one. And they're ramping up to war...

Gunner +Mari
I enjoyed this book it was short and spicy. This richly layered narrative explores themes of power, duty, and love in a world divided by its ruling class.
The story's plot is intricately woven, focusing on the Knights and their queens, who hold a significant place in Lavendale's society. Pynn skillfully develops these characters, delving into their struggles, aspirations, and the complexities of their relationships. As the narrative unfolds, readers are drawn into a web of intrigue, political maneuvering, and emotional depth.
One of the standout aspects of "Gunner" is the vivid world-building. Lavendale comes to life with its unique customs, traditions, and hierarchies. The author's attention to detail immerses readers in a realm where the Knights and queens' roles are central to the story's fabric.
The novel also explores the idea of responsibility and the burdens that come with power. Through well-crafted character arcs, readers witness the growth and transformation of the Knights and queens as they navigate the challenges and expectations of their positions.
Throughout "Gunner," Aubree Pynn weaves a tale of love and loyalty, set against a backdrop of a world teetering on the edge of change. The themes and plot are compelling, and the characters are relatable in their struggles and desires. If you enjoy stories that blend intricate world-building with complex characters and themes of power and love, "Gunner" is a must-read. Aubree Pynn's storytelling prowess shines in this enchanting novel.

These two were cute. Fighting their feelings when all along they had the blessing they both needed to be together.
