Possessive Park Avenue Prince by Brooke Blaine & Ella Frank Blog Tour

Who are we? Like you even need to ask. We’re the seven richer-than-sin legacies causing debauchery at the prestigious Astor University in Manhattan.
Some call us spoiled.
Some call us trouble.
But everyone calls us the Park Avenue Princes.

Daire Connery
“The Bad Boy”

I’m not a man of many words. But when I do speak, it usually starts with F and ends with you.
Keep to myself. Don’t let anyone in. That’s how I like it.
That’s usually how everyone else likes it too. My scowl keeps them all away—all except him.

We may both be Park Avenue Princes, but we would never work.
We don’t belong in each other’s real worlds.
He’s too soft for mine; mine’s too harsh for his.

But I can’t stop thinking about him. About those pale grey eyes that see right through me. The ballsy way he gives right back whatever I dish out.
I like that. Respect it.
Want more of it…

Which is why when I find out his ex is bullying him, it makes me want to rip that bastard a new one. Makes me lose my goddamn mind.

Because no one touches Gavin Truitt. No one but me.

Possessive Park Avenue Prince is the fourth standalone novel in the Park Avenue Princes world.

Shannan – ☆☆☆☆☆
Possessive Park Avenue Prince is the fourth book in the Park Avenue Princes series. I personally don't feel like you can read this series as standalones. Each story, each character’s book builds upon the last – you need to read in the order that the authors intended.

Gavin is the youngest of the princes. He finds himself needing somewhere to live since his brother, Donovan. and his brother’s boyfriend, Kelly, are now living together. Gavin asks Daire if he can live with him to get away from the thin walls in his brother's condo. Gavin is fresh out of a relationship with Joey, a physically and emotionally abusive jerk. Gavin tries to hide what Joey has done to him, but Daire pays more attention than Gavin realizes. He asks Daire to keep the bruises to himself and not go after Joey. Daire promises not to kill him, but not to not hurt him. When Gavin finds out, he's anything but thankful about it.

Daire isn't used to someone being in his space, he likes to keep his personal things personal. When he finds out what Joey has done, Daire refuses to let him get away with it. Gavin gets angry but Daire refuses to apologize for defending Gavin. When their tempers run over and end in a kiss neither one of them sees coming, Daire knows he can't let Gavin in. But somehow Gavin gets to Daire and his walls start coming down.

I absolutely loved this story. The bad boy/good boy, grumpy/sunshine works so well with Daire and Gavin. Once Gavin realizes there is more between them, he can't see anything or anyone but Daire. Daire was terrified to let someone love him thinking he would get hurt, but Gavin would do anything to make him his. I can't wait for what's next for this group of princes.


Angie – ☆☆☆☆☆
This is my favorite book of the series so far! I love Daire and Gavin. These two are perfect for each other. I love the possessiveness that Daire has for Gavin. I love the back and forth banter and pushing buttons. It's the perfect sunshine/grumpy romance. I kept putting the book down because I didn't want it to end. Loved it!


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the fourth book in the series, and I am delighted that Gavin, Donovan's younger brother, gets his story told – and even happier that the broody, loner Daire has, in fact, plenty of romance hiding under his brusqueness!

We start the story with Gavin moving in with Daire due to the thin walls in the apartment that he previously shared with his now loved up brother. This is a big change for Daire, as he likes his simple, private life, even if he appreciates the Park Avenue Princes’ setup overall. He spends his free time doing something which gives him a feeling of being alive – and when Gavin secretly follows him and find out what he does, their relationship changes due to the secret... and the feelings that they both realise are at play.

As we learn why Daire may have such a reckless attitude, we also see that he cannot help but protect Gavin and thus melt some of the ice around his heart. There is still quite a lot of crazy from the guys as a group, but this is a pretty thoughtful and engaging love story, which is a very satisfying read.

We also are promised the big reveal on the secrets held by Caleb in the next installment... cannot wait!

Preston Abernathy
“The Perfect Guy”

When people look at me, I know what they see.
-a model student
-senator’s son with a shining future in politics
-Serena Carrington’s boyfriend
-the studious, polite, dependable Park Avenue Prince

But sometimes looks can be deceiving. Because I’m hiding a secret. A big one. One that could shake the very foundation of the Upper East Side elite.

My secret has dark blond hair and a smile that could charm the pants off anyone—including mine. Charismatic. Powerful. Unbelievably gorgeous, with a body I fantasize about—not that they will ever know. This secret is one I’ll take to the grave.

Because, you see, I am in love with a Carrington, just not the one I’m dating.
And what’s a bigger scandal than falling for your girlfriend’s dad?

Shannan – ☆☆☆☆☆
Scandalous Park Avenue Prince is the third book in the Park Avenue Princes series. It can be read as a standalone but reads so much better when you read them in the order that the authors intended.

Preston is the perfect one, he does everything that is asked or expected of him. His father has his life laid out for him – politics, marrying his girlfriend, and having babies. But the path he's expected to follow isn't anything that he wants. He loves his girlfriend, Serena, she's the best friend he's ever had but she's involved in one of his biggest secrets. Her dad, Archer, is involved in his other secret.

Preston is gay and no one but Serena knows, and the situation works for them – they do what they want but in public they are the perfect couple, until that doesn't work for one of them. Preston has had a crush on Archer for years and when the perfect moment presents itself, Preston kisses Archer and what he never expected is Archer kissing him back. Archer Carrington is a very distinguished man in their social circle. He never expects in a million years to kiss his daughter's boyfriend. It was a mistake; he shouldn't be thinking about him, right?  

I loved the chemistry Archer and Preston have. I love that Preston was so perfect to everyone else but had all these secrets and desires. The expectations were set for him, but with Archer he was able to admit he didn't want any of that, he wanted to be his own man and follow his own dreams. My only complaint was the fallout, there was so much buildup to it and then we didn't get the whole story. I'm hoping it'll be explained in the next book but it was kind of a letdown.

I love this world that these authors created and I can't wait for what's next!


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the third book in the series, and you will definitely get more of an understanding about the life of Preston if you have read earlier books. Each one concentrates on a rich ‘Park Avenue Prince’ who is going to university and living it up… possibly about to find their happily ever after. This one is slightly surprising as Preston has been with his girlfriend, Serena, for ages, and seemed the stable one in the group.

I enjoyed the premise of the book, which is that Preston has a serious crush on Serena’s dad, and liked even more that Serena is supportive. The reality of his family’s expectations weighs heavily on him, and this new love, Archer, is friends with his father. The complications make this relationship seem impossible – but the chemistry between them is definitely combustible. There are plenty of scenes to heat up your day, one of them a little unexpected!

The fact that the guys get together to support Preston and give him the encouragement to lead the life he wants, shows their better side, and it is fun how they all find out in the first place… can anyone keep a secret?

Some good hints as to who may get their story told soon, and more Caleb issues ensure we are waiting for that situation to be resolved.

I hope we get more on how this relationship moves forward in future installments.


Angie – ☆☆☆
This is the third book in the series. It can be read as a standalone but is better when read as part of the series. Preston has his whole life mapped out by his family and he knows what is expected of him and has done it so far. He has a girlfriend he's been with for years; he loves her but she's his best friend, they each do their own thing and she knows he's gay. Preston is in love with his girlfriend’s dad, Archer. So, we have an age-gap and a little taboo-ish about liking the dad, sounds hot, right? Some things were; don't get me wrong, there was strong physical, sexual chemistry but that's it. I actually was bored a few times reading this because things didn't get good until past the 50% mark in the book. I felt the ending was rushed and we didn't get all the answers we needed, maybe in the next book but probably not since it'll be a new couple. I don't know, this one just didn't do it for me, but I will continue the series.

Who are we? Like you even need to ask. We’re the seven richer-than-sin legacies causing debauchery at the prestigious Astor University in Manhattan.
Some call us spoiled.
Some call us trouble.
But everyone calls us the Park Avenue Princes.

Donovan “Van” Truitt
“The Model”

Wrong place. Wrong time. Right guy.

Showing up at a very indecent film shoot was an accident. I was a highly paid model. A professional. I didn’t get down and dirty for the cameras, but one look at the sex god needing a scene partner and I found myself reconsidering.

After all, with a name like Sin, a body out of my rugged lumberjack fantasies, and a head full of dirty-blond hair I wanted to grab, he was almost impossible to resist. But I did—until fate put him back in my sights.

The only problem? He was the new rising star of his industry, and that meant he came with conditions.

The proposition: If I wanted a night of “Sin,” I needed to show up for the cameras.
My terms: Make sure my identity remained a mystery.

It was only supposed to be one time, one scene. But I quickly learned that anything less than everything would never be enough with him.

Who would’ve thought my happy accident would lead to so many happy ending… s?

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the second book in this series, and whilst I was a little uncertain about West's story, I am now fully engaged in the future of these men. Van's story was far more about the relationship, rather than his wealth and privilege, which I found far more enticing.

Donovan Truitt has a famous model mother and is enjoying following in her footsteps as he studies at Astor. A mistaken direction finds him in a completely different type of job, yet the lead star, Sin, is so distracting that he cannot leave, or turn up at the next film set.

Wow, this is one hot read – and we are less shocked by the wealth and excess that the 'princes' have, and Van earns his own money, so it feels less obnoxious. We also get to see the guys at home being supportive – which is endearing – but the crazy is still there sufficiently to be fun. There are plenty of hints of things to come, I am ready!


Angie – ☆☆☆☆
I got to say, I didn't have high hopes for this book because the first book didn't work for me. This book was sooo much better! The chemistry between Van and Kelly/Sin is off the charts! This book grabbed my attention from the beginning, and I didn't want to put it down. This was a low-angst book with lots and lots of smexy time. I appreciated how they communicated and worked together when hitting a rough patch. I enjoyed this book and this couple. I'm hoping the next book is just as good.


Shannan – ☆☆☆☆
Insatiable Park Avenue Prince is the second book in the Park Avenue Princes series. It can be read as a standalone but reads so much better if you read in the order that the authors intended.

Donovan “Van” Truitt is a model who gets paid well for his good looks. When he is sent on a job to model watches, he ends up walking into something he wasn't quite expecting but he can't seem to walk away from. Inadvertently getting the wrong address has led him to a film shoot that has the sexiest man Van has ever seen. The man on the bed he can't look away from, he's everything he's ever wanted but Van has to walk away.

Kelly "Sin" Sinclair is a rising star in the film industry. He's new and his first solo film has brought great interest for him. When he met Van, he never thought he'd see him again but when he does, he doesn't plan on letting him walk away again. The only way Kelly can be with Van is on camera and Van can't risk his modeling career. The solution is for Van to get his identity kept secret, that way both Van and Kelly get exactly what they want – until one small birth mark lets Van's identity be known.

I really enjoy these Park Avenue boys. Van and Kelly have an instant connection that neither was willing to walk away from. I loved seeing how their story played out and the lengths they would go to to be with each other. I can't wait to see what's next in this series!

Weston LaRue
“The Playboy”

I’m never one to turn down a bet. Especially not when it comes to retaliating against the dean for pulling a dick move before summer break.
So when the dean’s golden child arrives at Astor for his freshman year, my fellow troublemakers throw down a wager I can’t resist.

The target: the dean’s son, John Thomas Hawthorne, or “JT.”
The bet: corruption in any way I choose.

It should’ve been easy. With his mess of brown curls, pouty lips, and good-boy reputation, JT is the perfect revenge. And even better? He’s straight.

Challenge accepted. I’ll do whatever it takes to prove a point, no matter how reckless it might be.

Shannan – ☆☆☆☆☆
Infamous Park Avenue Prince is the first book in the new series Park Avenue Princes. And oh, what a start to a series it was.

The bet was simple – corrupt the dean's son. It should have been easy. On paper, West had this in the bag, but JT wasn't anything that West expected. West was the rich boy, the privileged, the prince of the school, not only the school, New York. He was cocky and arrogant enough to know he'd get exactly what he wanted, and JT proved to be a bit tougher than he was used to. The deeper West got, the more he liked spending time with JT. He found himself craving the one thing he shouldn't.

JT was starting his freshman year and is the dean's son. A combination that was going to make it hard for him to find friends. When West showed up, JT wasn't expecting the charming man to want to be his friend. JT was way out of his comfort zone with West as friends, but something about West had JT experiencing things he never thought he would. And that first kiss...woo.

I loved everything about this. But the angst I had knowing that JT was going to find out about that bet had me on edge throughout each chapter. I loved seeing West's sweet side when he was alone with JT, it redeemed him in my eyes for being that jerk we are supposed to hate but I just couldn't!! And JT's ability to knock West down a peg, showing him that his money wasn't everything.

I can't wait to see what happens for these princes in the coming books!


Angie – ☆☆☆
I love both of these authors, together and separately, but this book was a total miss for me. I couldn't connect with JT or West. The story seemed to drag on forever and nothing spicy happened until around the 50% mark. I wasn't invested in the relationship or the outcome honestly. I tried, I tried to leave and read something else and come back, but still nothing. I will say I really liked West's dad and I liked Caleb. Even though this was a miss for me, which could have been due to the whole stupid bet storyline, I will read the series. I really want the story with Travis and Caleb and I want to know more about East as well.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆
I am a huge fan of these two talented authors – but have discovered that the turn someone gay concept, especially by entitled rich guy for pretty naive and sheltered dean's son wasn't for me. I chose to have faith in there being a redeeming edge to the tale, but wow, it was a surprisingly long wait.

I am still trying to decide whether I was amused by the way that West overcame curfews, or just fed up of the money being thrown around. The fact that he did some work for the family business wasn't really enough to convince me he was in any sense a good guy.

JT – would his well-educated parents really saddle him with such a name combination? – was a pleasing character, who went through an important awakening in his early days of college, on top of being known as the dean's son. The jeans error made me smile, and he was definitely the person who kept me reading.

I do want to continue reading this series as I am particularly curious about Travis and Caleb. Hopefully, now we have been introduced to them all, there will be less concentration on the princes as a whole.


Erica – ☆☆☆
I'm going to be upfront that this book was just not for me, personality wise. Maybe my mood. Maybe I'm just tapped. Maybe because I'm neurodivergent and felt overwhelmed.

Honestly, I never, ever in my life thought I'd write this. Too much banter. I love me some banter and angst. The beginning was a chaos I couldn't escape, and it tainted the rest of the journey for me.

I rolled easily through JT's opening and subsequent chapters, but felt bombarded during every single West chapter.

As a reader, I feel as if I place myself in the scene. So as seven boys got off a bus, it felt as if I was getting bombarded at once. What was supposed to be a banter-filled introduction to seven current and future main characters made me feel like crouching to the ground, covering my head, and screaming, "Enough!"

Let me meet the narrator first before more than half a dozen are talking over each other like the first day of kindergarten, not college upperclassmen.

I'm not a fan of too many characters in a scene, especially when they are new to me and I feel like I need to take notes. This novel was lacking a smooth introduction transition.

I appreciated TJ mentally describing them while looking from the window. I just couldn't handle meeting them en masse.

I felt this madness during every West scene. Too much stimulation. Too much banter. Never an honest thought or genuine conversation. Sure, he was charming in spades but 100% fake.

I almost tapped out at their first lunch. The back and forth banter to build tension, it was grating on me to where I just tapped forward to the next chapter.

This isn't a bet issue for me. I love me a novel dripping with angst. That squicky feeling as I wait for the betrayal to be revealed. I'm a sucker for books, shows, and movies featuring this.

The first half was a slow crawl through not much happening, so I wasn't invested. I enjoyed the angsty reveal and the subsequent groveling.

After dozens of times where West thought how fun and humorous it would be to corrupt an impressionable, naive, and all-around good JT, I wasn’t down for JT being with West.

If you can't stand one of the narrators, who shows very little growth for more than 75% of the novel, it's hard to ship them.

Forget the money and selfishness. I don't mind self-proclaimed assholes either. I just found West extremely obnoxious and immature for his age and standing in society. I never felt he was remorseful or got the gravity of his actions. There wasn't much redemption for me. So, this pretty much was a death knell when it came to the romance.

I'm curious about others in series and will gladly give them a try.

CHAPTER 6

 ~ JT ~

The best thing about Astor so far? The high-end coffee bar conveniently located between classes. As I stood in line, I read over the specials menu, which featured drinks I’d never even heard of. Blueberry matcha latte? Espresso and tonic? Eh, I wasn’t quite that adventurous, though something called a cereal milk cappuccino piqued my interest. Whatever had caffeine and tasted decent was good enough for me.

I checked the time on my phone and moved with the line, getting closer to the counter but not by much. Still, I could afford to wait a few more minutes.

“So let me guess. White mocha frappuccino?”

My head shot up to see West’s lazy grin as he sidled in beside me. I glanced behind him to the glares his cutting in line had earned, but he only crossed his arms over his chest and studied the menu board.

“There’s a line for a reason,” I said pointedly, pocketing my cell.

“A line?” West’s nose wrinkled. “Not sure I’m familiar with the term.”

I shook my head. Of course this was new for him. He probably had his coffee delivered in class. “Are you stalking me?”

“What? Two people who go to the same school can’t happen to run into each other from time to time?”

“I’m sure they could, but this feels intentional.”

“Or it’s a double shot kind of day and I saw you standing alone.” West cocked a brow. “Want me to leave?”

I looked around us at all my classmates paired up and in groups and felt that dull pang of loneliness that came with being the new guy. People weren’t exactly lining up to be my best friend, but West didn’t seem to have the “dean’s son” aversion.

“How about this,” I said, as the line moved forward. “Tell me what your deal is and you can stay.”

“Gonna buy my coffee too?”

“You’re the one who lives in the Waldorf Towers. You can buy mine.”

West smirked but nodded. “I like you.”

“You don’t know me.”

“I know enough.”

“In the whole two conversations we’ve had?”

“There are other ways to get to know someone.”

I cocked my head, eyeing him closely, something about that statement sending up warning flags I probably should listen to, but… “What do you mean, ‘other ways’?”

West chuckled, the sound cool, his smile charming. “Relax, JT. It’s not like I’m a stalker or anything.”

“You sound like a stalker.”

“And you sound paranoid. I just meant that I’ve seen you a couple times around the halls, and you’re always alone. You seem like a nice guy, so it can’t be that you’re an ass—”

“Thanks for the vote of confidence.”

“All I’m saying is, you look like you could use a friend.”

“And that friend should be you?”

West shrugged and slipped a hand into his pocket. “Could be. I don’t see anyone else lining up. And you know why? Not because of you; it’s because your mother is—”

“The dean. Yeah, I worked that much out myself.”

“Right. But if you’re friends with me”—West leaned in a little closer, and Jesus, the guy even smelled expensive—“everyone will like you.”

I turned my head to make sure he saw how hard I was rolling my eyes but instead found myself staring into his. They were a cool azure blue, like the clearest lake, and seemed to sparkle at me like the sun was reflecting off the water.
