by Cari Lynn Webb

He needs a great idea.

She can provide it–but at what cost?

I received this book for free from the Author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Can Ava win the contest and keep her heart safe?


Ava's Prize by Cari Lynn Webb is another fantastic book by this wonderful author. This is my second book from Ms. Webb, and I loved it as much as I did with the first book.

Kyle Quinn is the perfect person for Ava Andrews, and they both compliment each other well. These two are such opposites, but it works very well once you get to know each person.

Kyle Quinn


Kyle Quinn is the middle child of an older and younger sister. He's a good guy that has a pretty severe nut allergy and doesn't like to open up much. Kyle was hurt when he was younger, and he doesn't want to risk his heart. He likes to think that he has everything under control for his family and himself. Kyle doesn't like to make any friends and tries to keep to himself so that he doesn't get hurt. That has side effects, and he doesn't realize it just quite yet.

What I like about Kyle is that yeah he may appear like this guy that only cares about his money but deep down it's more than that for him. I like his first invention; it is pretty cool. He is a great guy but needs someone to help him see that he needs more than what he already has to be happy.

The only thing that I don't like about Kyle is the way that he did the contest. I don't think that he thought it through.

Ava Andrews


Ava Andrews is the second born and has had a tough life. She is an army medic turned emergency first responder who likes to help people but doesn't help herself. Ava is more about helping the people she loves. She enters this contest with a great invention but doesn't want her heart to get involved with Kyle. Ava is a great character, and I love the way she and Kyle interacted. It was a lot of fun reading about these two.

What I like about Ava is that she is a great person. She is doing what she can for her family but still wanting some things for herself. I love the fact that Ava brings out the good in Kyle.

What I don't like about Ava is that she is quick to jump to conclusions and doesn't wait for explanations. The other thing that I don't like about Ava is that she believes she is like her father, which to her is a bad thing.

Five Stars


Ava's Prize by Cari Lynn Webb is a fantastic book. I can't wait to read more from this author. Ms. Webb as a great way of making her characters seem so real that I am right there with them. I adore when a book takes me into the story as this one did. My rating of this book is five-stars.

It's excellent, and I'm recommending it to anyone that loves romances and quick reads like this one.

Anyways until the next time enjoy this review brought to you by
