With her brother’s grumpy best friend—and her longtime nemesis—as Beth’s flight instructor, her pilot lessons could be a plane disaster or their first-class ticket to forever.
Mayday. Mayday. Engine failure.
When flying with George Bunsen, the last thing Beth Lundberg wants is to be horny in the cockpit. But when her first ride-along dives toward disaster, the perpetually stoic George is forced to execute a skillful emergency landing, and Beth is horrified to find herself with an adrenaline-fueled crush on the pilot. She’s even more shocked when her brother’s best friend offers her discounted flight lessons—possibly out of guilt for almost killing them.
And despite George’s annoying habit of departing any room the moment Beth enters, she really wants to accept. No matter that it’s an egregiously expensive hobby, or that her waitressing wages go right toward her mother’s medical bills, or that she’s already in debt up to her eyebrows. Flying is Beth’s dream, and she could use her private license to earn real money.
The more time they spend navigating the sky, the more the turbulence between George and Beth dissipates. But Beth has seen the burning wreckage that comes from mixing business with pleasure—plus, she’s been keeping a secret that, once revealed, will send all her relationships into a tailspin. Can she really take a risk on romance when her pilot career isn’t even off the ground?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this entertaining contemporary, Connolly (PS: I Hate You) brings together two appealing young people trying to make it on their own. Beth Lundberg, the neglected illegitimate daughter of a luxury transportation magnate, has always yearned to become a pilot, but can't afford it on her diner waitress salary, especially while handling medical bills for her mother, who has cancer. When Beth's privileged half-brother Shawn's best friend, George Bunsen, a pilot at their father's company, offers her free flying lessons, Beth is almost too proud to accept, especially as she and George have never gotten along. But when their first time in the air results in an emergency landing that showcases George's skill, Beth's aversion to him turns into red hot lust. Meanwhile, it's clear to everyone but Beth that George feels the same way about her. For their relationship to succeed, however, Beth will have to let go of her preconceptions about George, face her father's judgment, and come clean to Shawn about a lie she told him years ago. Readers who dislike plots that over-rely on miscommunication may be frustrated by some of these hurdles, but Beth's tenacity is admirable and George's patient devotion is swoon-worthy. Fans of Kristan Higgins and Susan Wiggs looking for something on the raunchier side will want to check this out.
