Chronicles of a Lincoln Park Fashionista by Aven Ellis
If Premier Airlines knew about her fear of flying, they never would have hired her to be their marketing assistant—but it’s not like Avery wants a lifelong career. Right now she simply wants a job to pay her bills…and fund a few little shopping excursions, too.
Her new lifestyle comes with a price tag, as Avery is not only faced with paying a ridiculous rent but finds she’s perceived as one of the vacant, husband-hunting fashionistas who live in the area. Avery resents this stereotype—so she doesn’t want a lifelong career, and she loves fashions she can’t afford, but that doesn’t mean she is empty-headed and spoiled, does it?
When an opportunity to participate in a documentary at work arises, Avery finds a two-fold solution to her problems. She’ll earn extra money for it, and the documentary will show her as a serious career woman, enabling her to shed that husband-hunting fashionista label for good.
When the camera is on, Avery attempts to be a motivated professional woman. But when she is challenged by Deacon Ryan, the videographer assigned to cover her story, Avery finds herself wanting things she was never supposed to want—like a lasting career—and Deacon. And Avery might just gain more from the experience than a perfect career image and extra cash to put in her Tory Burch wallet…**
A fashionista is a follower of fashion and while I think that Avery does enjoy being in the best of the best I think there is more to her then just that. Even so her outward appearances show that she is just that, a fashionista that only cares about her looks and what makes her look good. Her job at Premier Airlines is an assistant and now they've decided she's going to be a part of a documentary on the lives of employees for a travel channel. She wants to look good and do good for this. She has a videographer, Deacon, following her and he challenges her. He makes her think about more then just looks. She decides to try more at her job.
When she gets noticed for the extra effort she puts forth she's asked to go to the company retreat in San Francisco. She's excited and happy that she's doing more but there is just one little problem. She's terrified of flying. Crazy scared of it and she doesn't know if she can do it. She thinks if the company finds out she could get fired for being a fraud. Deacon is there and helps her but the way he helps confuses her. He's said he's dating someone but kissing her to distract her sends her body into overdrive. Since they've been working together the feelings have gone from disgust to warm and fuzzy.
I loved watching Avery grow up. She started out as a spoiled, airhead. Only being interested in looks and what a guy could do for her instead of looking for the one person to make her life better in a different way. Deacon makes her look inside herself instead of on the surface and she becomes a more rounded person. I hate that it took a man to make her have more substance but I'm glad that she got there. I also sound like she was a complete idiot but she wasn't. She was smart just never tapped into the potential she had just under the surface. I love the way this author writes and I'm working my way through the last of her books I've not read. If you haven't read Aven Ellis you should run and grab her books. Some of her books are on Kindle Unlimited, so if you have that you can read them for free!! As always leave the author some love in the form of a review! Its the best way to show you care!
