The writing was excellent, all of the characters interesting and well developed, the plot intriguing, the pacing superb, and the hero a dream-come-true.(*sigh*) My only complaint--the heroine made me want to pull my hair out in frustration so many times, I nearly gave up reading the book with 50 pages to go after she pulled one of the stupidest moves...arrgh!

I can see why Marie Force is such a force on Kindle. I read this book as quickly as I could, and I enjoyed every word of it. Other people have reviewed the plot so I won't go there. What I will say is that Juliana and Michael are characters we can relate to. They feel real. The dilemmas they face feel real. As a result, the emotions they go through feel real.

HUGE props to Ms. Force for avoiding any number of cliche plot scenarios. If you need proof that romantic fiction needs to broaden its parameters a bit, this book offers it. The story begins with Juliana and Michael in long-term relationships with other people. She's been with the same guy for 10 years, and she loves him. He's engaged and on his way to his engagement party. They even have sex with these people in the early chapters of the book. Yes, sex. In front of us. And you're going to have conflicted feelings from time to time about these four people — Juliana, Michael and their significant others who turn out to be less significant than they believed.

Think a mainstream publisher is going to publish that scenario any time soon outside an erotica novel? Probably not. And that's too bad because it works, at least when guided by Ms. Force's skilled pen.

The story had some twists and turns — at least one of which will have you shouting "NO!" — and though I knew how the story would work out in the end, I couldn't wait to see how it got there. I read the ending in a hair salon while getting my hair shampooed and cut and kept lifting my head out of the basin so that I could look down at my Kindle and read the next few lines. No joke. Also, I bit off all my fingernails. Well, at least I didn't have to polish them.

I plan to read the rest of Marie's books when I get some time. With my own deadlines, that's not easy. But I really love her voice. And I love the fact she's not allowing herself to be straight-jacketed by the goofy parameters that make so many novels predictable. In real life, most of us have multiple relationships. And sometimes we find ourselves with one person when we belong with another.

The way Ms. Force handle's Juliana's side of things at the very end, having her learn the value of independence, was extraordinary.

So five big, fat stars from me. Marie Force (less)

I have to say, that I was really disappointed by Love at First Flight. The story actually sounded really cute and I was looking forward to it. I've read Fatal Affair and really liked it, so I had high hopes for this one as well. Well, it didn't measure up at all.

The story had so much potential: two people meeting on a plane, falling in love, then some conflicts because of their previous/current relationships etc. Could have been a nice, light romance novel.

I'm not sure what took me so long to get to reading it but I really enjoyed it! It was a sweet romance with an intriguing plot and dash of crime and mystery. A lot of sweet proclamations of love from the heart (and of course some great steamy parts too!).

Juliana meets Michael as they are flying from Baltimore to Jacksonville to spend the weekend with their significant others. They find they have an immediate connection but make nothing of it knowing they are each committed to someone else. Coincidentally they realize they are also taking the same flight home at the end of the weekend. They wish each other a nice weekend and will see each other in a couple of days.

Come the end of the weekend Michael finds Juliana in tears at the airport after a disastrous weekend with her boyfriend whom she is now taking a break from. Michael confesses he broke off his engagement with his fiancée. Together they talk out their frustrations and by the time they walk to the parking lot to go home, fate steps in and Juliana's car won't start.

Michael offers to drive her home but she says she does not want to stay at the place she and her boyfriend shared. He quickly offers her his spare room which, as fate would have it, is only a few blocks from Juliana's home. She hesitantly agrees but knows it is a good place to be since no one will know where she is.

Michael can feel right off the bat that Juliana is the perfect woman for him and makes it known to her. Juliana in turn says while she has feelings for Michael as well, she is only on a break from her boyfriend of ten years and cannot get involved with another man.

However, crazy and terrible things start to happen to Juliana as she lives in Michaels home that endanger her life and draws her closer to Michael whom will do anything to protect her.

Juliana's feelings continue to grow stronger for Michael but she is so confused about who she really belongs with, Michael, or her long time boyfriend, Jeremy.

Michael says he won't give up on her, but neither will Jeremy. Who will she choose? Who is she meant to be with? A new, powerful and all consuming love or a long time dependent love, the only love she had known until now?

I clicked to it right away.

The basic story is very interesting. Juliana Gregorio has been in a relationship with her high school boyfriend for more than 10 years. But he has never made the move to ask her to marry him, much to the scorn of her friends and family. Making matters worse, he has taken a job in Florida (they live in Baltimor), the long distance adding more strain to their relationship.

On a flight to visit him, Juliana strikes up a conversation with her seat mate. Michael Maguire is a prosecutor in Baltimore who himself is in a long distance relationship. He is on his way to visit his fiancee and her family in Florida and to be the guest of honor in an over-the-top engagement party. During the flight, the two are so comfortable with each other (and a little attracted) that they find themselves easily discussing their significant others with a frankness that is rare in strangers.

On the flight back, the two are in a very different state of mind. The weekend has seen Michael break off his engagement in disgust with the manipulative nature of his fiancee and her family. And Juliana has just has her heart broken by her boyfriend and has issued a 3 month time out in their relationship. Miserably the two unlucky in love travelers commiserate.

Once back in Baltimore (through a series of somewhat contrived circumstances) Juliana becomes Michael's roommate. Amidst a high profile criminal case and two ex-es who aren't quite done with them yet, the two fall in love.

As I was reading this book, I was totally digging it. The writing is really quite good and the characters are also excellently drawn. The author did a great job of drawing a complete picture, not just of the current relationship with Juliana and Michael but of their relationships with their exes. She makes the exes unsympathetic up to a point but doesn't go overboard completely vilifying them. She makes them surprisingly human.

And if anything thing stands out in this book is how not text-book romancey it is. The author makes a few narrative decisions that struck me as unconventional for a romance novel. At the end of the book Juliana does something that made me completely scratch my head and go WTF?. But then I thought about it for a minute and realize I had been taken off my stride because it wasn't a 'romance novel' thing to do. Instead it was, strangely, something I could see someone doing in a very un-tidy, not everything is wrapped in a bow, real-life kind of way. It aggravated the heck out of me at the time and made me at first want to give this a 3-star rating, but after some thought I actually liked the decision. It made the character grow, in a much needed way. imo.

The other thing that almost made me give this a 3-star was the suspense sub-plot. I detest it when a perfectly good contemporary romance get a suspense subplot shoehorned in. You could have easily removed the high-profile case with the witness protection, murderers and police details and the story would not have suffered a bit.

Good writing and good characters prevailed though and I do recommend.(less)

I have read a few amazing stories by my all time favorite authors and now Marie Force with her strong, wonderfully written stories has made a place there.

LOVE AT FIRST FLIGHT, is a romantic thriller that was about Juliana and Michael meeting in the plane going to see their significant other after a long time. While their flight got delayed they slowly bonded and talking about the difficulties of a long distance relationships. They talked of things most people wouldn't share to strangers and became good friends. During the ride they found out that they share the same flight back and will see each other again. Little did they know that the flight back they will share the disasters of there life that they will get so entangled in each others life and troubles that lead to having their lives endanger by the case Michael is fighting.

Who will Juliana choose in the end when their lives are normal, no danger just the fear of losing each other.

Will she choose? Jeremy or Michael?

I will say that I really loved Michael, he knew exactly what he wanted and was after it. I guess that makes him amazing attorney. Juliana didn't know exactly what was right for her which obviously left to a lot of heartbreak/ache but I totally understand where she comes from, Sometimes when its in front of you, you either choose to ignore it or unconsciously don't let it surface and let your brain over rule your heart.

I loved the thriller and the mystery of this story. I enjoyed it. Emotions were all over the place.

Paige and Jeremy had to grow up. They always that everything so they took it for granted. Paige's parents spoiled her so much that it was always about her. She took everything for granted, the luxury of her lifestyle and her fiance. Jeremy took Juliana for granted because she always was there for 10 years and so didn't understand what a great person she is. Michael did. That shows how meant to be they were and are.

5 stars!
Don't miss out on another fantastic read of Marie Force!

This review is difficult for me to write. I really liked the writing, and I have a feeling I'd like the author's other books. I even sort of liked the premise — or at least found it interesting. I was curious to see how the author would handle it and if she'd pull it off without making the "other" man and woman pure evil in that two-dimensional way that you sometimes see in other stories to justify any extramarital-like affairs between a hero and heroine, and for a while, I really thought she'd do it. Certainly, it's a challenge, and I thought the author would rise to it. There's a thin line between something like this working and something like this NOT working, and at first, it worked for me.

It worked because Force didn't make the first relationships extremely flawed. She didn't make the hero and heroine fall madly in love with each other at first sight; plus, they really cared for the people with whom they already had relationships, even though the long-distance state of them strained things. More importantly, the breakups were properly justified in ways that felt right, and the causes for the breakups had nothing whatsoever to do with the hero and heroine having met each other at all — they were completely independent of that.

That's why I thought this book would actually work. That first third or quarter of the story was just very nicely done. All the characters involved were sympathetic and real, and there were no "bad" guys; it was like life made real on paper. Sometimes timing and circumstances alone determine with whom we have relationships in life, and I proceeded reading the book, feeling really impressed with the author's handling of the story and feeling really good about the whole thing. I could have bet a great deal of money that the book would turn out great based on the beginning alone.

And then things changed. The heroine moved in with the hero, and though she was really only officially on a break with her guy, she and the hero started to develop feelings for each other. They continually crossed lines and broke barriers with each other, and yet with their former significant others they repeatedly ignored them and their attempts at communication and apologies. I thought that was inexcusably cruel of the hero and the heroine — not even to hear the others out — especially in view of how long they'd been with them prior to the breakups.

I'd been so worried that the "other" man and woman would end up being painted villainous, but here the hero and the heroine were acting in a way that made me dislike them more and more, in a way that made them seem villainous — or at least just plain heartless. It actually got to the point where I hated them. More and more, they saw their former lovers as being manipulative and demanding, but I didn't feel that their perspective was in any way objective because they kept refusing to even have a proper sit-down discussion with them. If the "other" man and woman seemed desperate, it's because they've been made to "talk to the hand" in a figurative sense. They've been kicked out the door without so much as a by-your-leave, without a proper goodbye, without the closure they needed. So of course they'd continually call and ask to be heard. Have a heart, hero and heroine, for crying out loud!

And the few times they did have a discussion with their former significant others, the hero and the heroine never tried to let them down easy with calm, reasoned words — "I'm sorry, but I just can no longer be with you any more. That thing you did was a total deal-breaker for me, the last straw on the camel's back so to speak, blah, blah." Instead, they got emotional and yelled or hedged and continued to string them along. Even if they had let the "other" man and woman down easy, I don't feel that what the heroine's boyfriend of a decade did was that much of a deal-breaker (wondering what it would be like to date someone else? come on!), especially as he never did sleep with anyone else and especially given how demonstrative and loving he was with the heroine.

Through all this, there was this tinge of shame through it all. The entire time that the hero and the heroine were together, they didn't really see their other friends or visit their families — so you got this sense that they knew deep down that they must have been doing something wrong in the way they handled things with their exes, and they were hiding from the world, keeping only to themselves so that they didn't have to justify their actions to anyone.

So the result of all this was a bad taste in my mouth over the whole thing, and that by itself might have been forgivable if the author hadn't also piled on a lot of external sources of stress to the hero's and heroine's budding relationship as well. The hero is a prosecutor, and in addition to all this romantic intrigue, he's in the process of putting away some mob guys for murder. This means some nefarious types going after the hero, the heroine, and the eye witness about whom they've both come to care very much. It all just became too much to handle.

In the end, it made the relationship seem unnatural and almost dysfunctionally codependent in its isolation that their self-imposed separation in the end did very little to fix. I'm actually kind of stunned how I went from being intrigued by the book to being disgusted.(less)
