DESCRIPTION:
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?
Beth Lindbergh might just be a glutton for punishment. Flying has always been a dream of hers, but the cost has kept it frustratingly out of reach. Enter George Brunsen—her brother’s best friend and a pilot—who unexpectedly offers to give her flight lessons. The offer is surprising, to say the least. George has always treated Beth with indifference, if not outright coldness, leaving her wondering why he would volunteer to help her now. Still, pride and lingering questions aside, Beth accepts.
There’s just one problem: flight lessons mean spending hours in extremely close quarters with a man who seems to barely tolerate her. Unfortunately for Beth, her feelings are the complete opposite. She’s intensely drawn to George—putting it mildly—and assumes her attraction is entirely unrequited. Or is it?
While many romance tropes don’t usually work for me, I knew the hate-to-love dynamic would be front and center here. I didn’t expect the level of spice in this novel, which ultimately isn’t my personal preference, even within the romance genre. That said, the story develops well, and I genuinely enjoyed the aviation-themed setting, which added a unique and engaging backdrop to the romance.
