Lopez Island #2
Love in the Air
Tough as nails pilot and business owner Nell Stewart is having one hell of a bad day. And, so is Lopez Island’s sexy resident artist Adrian Perez. When they find themselves in a bar together that night, their flirting turns into something more. Something smoking hot. Nell swears it’s just one night; after all, she has a strict “No on-Island flings” policy. But she can’t seem to stay away…
Adrian Perez is ready to give up his single lifestyle and find his white picket fence happily ever after. Before he does, there's no harm in one last fling, right? With Nell "Runs Screaming from Commitment" Stewart in his bed, he's guaranteed that their steamy relationship won't get complicated.
But one wedding, emergency room visit, and an unexpected death later, life is nothing if not complicated. When picket fences collide with airplane wings, will both of them end up walking away with broken hearts or finally finding love in the air?

I call beautiful Portland, Oregon home and love spending time with my family. I bake way too many cookies and cupcakes. And, I spend my summers camping.
On the Sound is my very first novel! Not that I'm excited or anything. If you're a reader, thanks for visiting! If you're not, what are you waiting for? Go read my book!

I fell in love with this town when I read the first book so I was very excited when Jamie Matthews contacted me about this review. What's nice is she keeps you updated on the other characters, while not making the whole book about the side characters. I also enjoyed the difference in the main characters. The female lead from this book is completely different than book 1 which is something I am always nervous about when I read sequels. Nell is lovely, and I did enjoy her, but Adrian stole the show. He is sex on a stick, caliente, if you know what I mean. As someone who speaks Spanish, I enjoyed the bit of Spanish in there. It was pretty formal Spanish, so I did expect it to be more casual in the scenes where it was used. However, it still fit.
This is a hot book, with hot scenes, and hot characters. Prepare yourself. Maybe use a fan, some cold lemonade, a freezing shower...whatever you gotta do to get through the book. But when you do, you'll enjoy it.

This book already had 3 stars attached to it before I ever started to read. The story was based on Lopez and San Juan Island, in the San Juan Island chain. They sit nestled north of Seattle in the Strait of Juan De Fuca, and I've been in love with Lopez Island for the last 30 years.
So I happily bought the book and got a huge surprise when I started to read it. It is a great book. And the author has spent enough time on the islands that she knows them pretty well.
This book was pure romance, through and through interspersed with even steam that I could have opened a sauna in my living room while I read.
The story centers around Nell and Adrian. Nell is a pilot who owns her own successful business and Adrian is an artist whose sculptures have sold all over the world. Only one problem with these two. They both, at the beginning of the book think they want a fling with each other. That changes after some pretty well written sex. :-)
You will not be disappointed at the ending of this book. It is as sweet and syrupy as the author could have made it, but its also about two people who have to learn that sometimes things just don't turn out the way you think they will (thank heavens).
Lovely book and I'm looking forward to reading more from Jamie Matthews
