Fans of Christina Lauren and Tessa Bailey will adore this witty and unforgettable rom-com about skyways, highways, and all the perfectly wrong ways to fall in love.
As the black sheep of the family, choreographer Cassidy Bliss vowed she’d do anything to get home in time to help with her sister’s wedding and avoid family disappointment…again. She just never expected “anything” would involve sharing the last rental car with the jerk who cut her off in line at the airport this morning. But horrible times apparently call for here-goes-nothing measures.
Driving across the country with Luke “life can be solved with a spreadsheet” Carlisle must be a penance for some crime she committed. Because the second he opens his mouth, it’s all she can do to not maim him with her carry-on. But somewhere between his surprisingly thoughtful snack sharing and his uncanny ability to see straight to the core of her, her feelings go unchecked.
Suddenly, their crackling chemistry is just one more thing they have to navigate—and it couldn’t come at a worse time. But after a lifetime of letting the expectations and needs of others drive her life, Cassidy must decide if she’s ready to take the wheel once and for all.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hart (Talk Flirty to Me) gives the movie Planes, Trains & Automobiles a raucous rom-com update. Free-spirited choreographer Cassidy Bliss, who's flying from North Carolina to California for her entitled sister's wedding, first meets workaholic actuary Luke Carlisle when he steals her parking space at the airport. Luke's also headed to California to check in on his ailing mother. When their flight makes an emergency landing in Joplin, Mo., and there's only one rental car left, the pair wind up sharing it on a kooky road trip full of misadventure and unexpected bonding opportunities. The cramped space of the car magnifies their differences, with Cassidy being more able to adapt to their ever-changing circumstances while Luke stresses out, but it also reveals hidden depths and undeniable attraction. When a car fire leaves them stranded yet again, they'll have to rely on each other more than ever. Hart's affable characters and their familial problems bring this story vividly to life. Add in a healthy dose of humor and readers won't want to put this one down.
Customer Reviews
Fun cross country romance
I always worry when I read a blurb that compares a book to an author I enjoy, because very often, the book falls short. That is definitely not the case with this book. Cassidy Bliss and Luke Carlisle are about as opposite as can be. She is a dancer, he is an Actuary. She is a free spirit, and he always has to have a plan. They are both trying to get from North Carolina to California, when they have an encounter in the parking lot that starts their relationship off on a bad foot. Of course, they are on the same plane that has to make an emergency landing, and Luke gets the last car available. He offers to drive Cassidy, and their adventure begins. Along the way, their car is destroyed, the express train they think they are taking is actually stopping at every town. Both of them need to get home quickly, Cassidy for her sister’s wedding and Luke to help with his family, but that obviously doesn’t happen. I love the transition from enemies, to friends, then to more. This is a fun read with two very likable characters. This is my first book by this author, and it will not be my last. I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher for my honest review.
