Cute, different, entertaining story that I really liked, but didn't love. Not sure why but it didn't wow me like these authors previous books did. ...more

4.5 stars

I had read a book by Vi Keeland before and liked it a lot, but I've never read one co-written with Penelope Ward, who is another author I was looking for to read sooner or later. Well, it was about time, since despite being an usual contemporary romance story, it was entertaining to listen to and it kept me wondering what would happen to the two main protagonists.

I had read a book by Vi Keeland before and liked it a lot, but I've never read one co-written with Penelope Ward, who is another author I was looking for to read sooner or later. Well, it was about time, since despite being an usual contemporary romance story, it was entertaining to listen to and it kept me wondering what would happen to the two main protagonists.

The reason why it was a page turner is because the characters are always in motion after their first encounter. The story starts with Kendall Sparks, our main female protagonist, trying to decide which flight to take. We don't know why she wants to take a flight as her reasons are explained much later. Her dilemma is interrupted by a fascinating man named Carter. He ends up suggesting a destination to her and to his surprise, she ends up on his flight. Yes, because he is a sexy pilot and as Kendall fast learns, he's also a playboy. But she ends up following him anyway, and the two embark in a short journey across the world.

I liked the premise of this book because like I said above, the characters were always in motion because they actually traveled a lot. Their time together was short but intensely lived, and they ended up falling for each other. But Kendall had to make a decision. She needed to understand what to do with her life. Ultimately, although she decides what to do, life decides for her and everything changes.

I actually liked Kendall as a character. She grew up in a rich family and lived a lavish life, but she was not a snob and ends up realizing that money aren't everything, that sometimes in life you just need somebody who loves you by your side to help you go on with life. Yes, of course you can't live with love only, but I don't want to add more because it would spoil some of the plot.

Carter, despite being a playboy who basically had one night stands with most of the female crew of his airline, was a serious man with a soft heart who cared about other people a lot. He used sex to escape a relationship and not suffer again. That was why he also was a pilot, he liked to run away from his life and not think about being with the same person or the same place for more than a couple of days. When he meets Kendall, it's like she makes him realize that he can't keep on doing that and she helps him settle down and face his demons.

If you like a lighthearted romance with well crafted characters and a plot that will make you turn your page to find out what happens to Kendall and Carter, then read this book. ...more

This is yet another great read by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. As soon as I see that they have written a book together, I have to have it. They have all been such great reads, and this one is no different.

Carter is the Playboy pilot. He’s pretty much gone through all of the female flight attendants. I love him. He is a new book boyfriend.

There is so much more to him than being a playboy though. I won’t go into detail because it was great to learn about the unexpected side of him.

Kendall, hmm, t ...more
