Book 3 in the Avoiding series
Growing up, Chyna was handed everything on a silver platter. She never wanted for anything, except love—unconditional love from her parents. Love was a foreign emotion, and watching her parents love/hate relationship was never easy.
So when it came to her personal life, she made sure she never had to relive that. With looks that could kill, it was simple for Chyna to be the love 'em and leave 'em kind of girl. And she had always been okay with it. She would rather be single the rest of her life then end up as miserable as her parents. So when a man rescued her after she was drugged in a night club, she never expected to start a relationship with him.
But one chance meeting changes it all. Chyna is offered a once in a lifetime opportunity that could sky rocket her career, and she is forced to make a decision that could ruin everything.

If you've read the first two books in the 'Avoiding' series, then you probably love Lexi's fiercely loyal best friend, Chyna, like I do. Every girl needs a Chyna in their corner. She's been there to support her best friend through thick and thin, despite Lexi's less than stellar choices.From her first appearance in this series, I've wanted to know more about this mysterious lady. She plays the part of the spoiled, rich "princess" when it suits her, but it is clear that there is far more beneath the surface. This is Chyna's story. It was raw. It was painful at times, but it was everything that I wanted.
Chyna yearns for intimacy and connection. Mostly, she just wants to feel wanted...to be someone that somebody else cannot live without. She needs to be needed and loved. This is in stark contrast to the "tough girl" facade that she tries to project.
Like the other books in this series, 'Avoiding Intimacy' bounces back and forth between past and present, slowly revealing all pertinent details to readers little by little. While this can be a bit confusing at times, I think it works well for this series. In fact, it kind of became the signature-style of this series - a calling card of sorts.
As such, much of this story takes place during the same time period covered in earlier books in the series...just from Chyna's perspective. For much of this time, she was in Italy modeling, and away from Lexi. So, if you're expecting Lexi, and/or Jack, to be a central focus, then you will be disappointed. Lexi has a few appearances, but this book is not centered on her like the others have been.
Before reading this book I liked Chyna. After reading it, I loved her. This is one strong-willed, tough lady. Her story goes to show that money doesn't buy happiness. For a girl that seemed to have everything at the tips of her fingers, she was incredibly lonely. I gained a whole new respect for the "pretty little rich girl" after reading this book.
That being said, Chyna isn't perfect by any means. She is her own worst enemy. More often than not, she sabotages her relationships before she can get too close. As much as she craved connection, she feared it in equal measure.
As expected, Adam plays a significant role in this book. However, a new man is introduced that ends up being a major player as well. Marco is vastly different from Adam, but his relationship with Chyna proves to be equally important in Chyna's life.
One man is what she needs. The other is the embodiment of her darkest desires. Both want to claim her as their own.
Overall, I thought that this was another great addition to the 'Avoiding' series. Granted, I didn't love it as much as Lexi's story, but I did enjoy it quite a bit. I probably should have seen Lexi's books through to the end before diving into Chyna's vs. reading them in chronological order. I found myself rushing to get through this one, not because I wasn't enjoying it, but because I was dying to see what would become of the Lexi/Jack/Ramsey fiasco. I recommend reading books 1, 2, 1.5 and 3 before coming back to this one. Then, you'll know how things work out for Lexi and her guys and can savor Chyna's story.

About my reviews
I am by no means a book scholar; I read for entertainment purposes only. I couldn't care less about grammar and spelling as long as I can follow the story (I’m still a novice when it comes to the English language and I am 30+ years old and English is my first and only language…I’m a 0’s and 1’s kinda girl). With that being said, I do appreciate those who have the gift of bringing good characters and stories to life via written words evoking all my “girlie” emotions. For the most part I’m a sucker for likable characters, good chemistry, angst, heartbreak, and happy endings. I judge books by how I feel while reading them and I am always looking for my next “5 star book” high!
I wanted to share my opinions on the books I’ve read recently because ratings can be misleading at times; however, I don’t want to spend too much time on reviewing a book when I could be reading the next “5 star book” (hence this template). You will not get any spoiler alerts or harsh critiques from my reviews…nope, you will simply get a star rating based on the following
5 stars – I could read this book over and over again…everyone should read this book!!!
4 stars – I could read this book more than once!
3 stars – Okay book…one read was enough
2 stars – I just about got through this book
1 star – I could not finish this book
Hopefully this will help you identify some good reads and avoid some not-so-good ones!
I have not liked Chyna at all, so I was less than thrilled to see that Avoiding Intimacy was focused on her. However, I went into this (long) novella with an open mind. Even if I didn't like her as a character, I figured the author would work her magic and make her story pull me in. Well, I was wrong. I definitely like Chyna less now, and I even started disliking Adam, who appeared to be quite the sweetie in the previous books. This takes place at the same time as parts of Avoiding Responsibility, but even knowing that, I wound up confused several times. The format of alternating between past and present simply didn't work, since the story only takes place over four months.
The only parts of Avoiding Intimacy I really liked was Chyna and Marco. He's this world famous fashion designer, and she's modeling for him in Milan. In fact, she's the star of the show, but that has less to do with her talent and more to do with them having kinky sex all over the place. It started to veer into BDSM territory which is ultimately what held my attention, but other than that I was just annoyed with Chyna (and Adam). The events leading up to her leaving for Milan just didn't make sense. We already knew that they broke up when Adam's brother hit on Chyna, but Adam didn't believe her. Then they get back together, and he throws a fit because she took the job in Milan. He doesn't want to do a long distance relationship, so he dumps her. Um, what? It's not like she's moving. She just took a job! She'll be back! Then of course, when she comes back home they get back together because it's no longer long distance. Whatever.
