Money or love? Which would you choose? You probably just answered the question in your head, thinking it's an easy decision. For me, it's not. Did I mention it's a lot of money? A hell of a lot. I needed to go far away to think it through. As I embarked on an impulsive trip, I hit a detour when I met sexy Carter in the airport lounge. We struck up a heated conversation. Then, he left. I thought I'd never see him again. But fate had other plans. Surprise! He was the pilot of my flight. The bigger surprise was the adventure that followed after the plane landed. Carter was dangerous and always on the move. Even though our connection was magnetic, I knew it was only temporary. He would give me tickets, and I would follow him around the world to exotic places. A bevvy of flight attendant exes and rumors about Carter's reputation were never far behind. I didn't know what to believe. But I was addicted. Nothing else mattered anymore. And I was going to get hurt. Because a part of me wanted to be the one to finally ground the playboy pilot. Contains mature themes.… (more)

Since my first Keeland/Ward book (Happily Letter After) I have bought every single one of their books that I could (still missing a few). But the thing I've found in each and every one of them has been the heart of the story. This one had me laughing and a few pages later crying. I guess I enjoyed it more than most of the other reviewers.

I do agree the conflict was a little over dramatic. But I think it comes from Kendall really being sheltered so much by her family in regard to relationships. She is younger and her family did seem to get in the way so she never had a serious relationship that could last very long.

I absolutely loved everything to do with where he lived and his neighbors! His relationships with them were so unexpected given his treatment of his female co-workers.

Anyway, I too enjoyed their globe trotting romance and wish there could have been just a little bit more of that. ( )

This is an old-fashioned love story that takes its time, as the protagonists learn about each other, before they become lovers. Carter is the playboy who talks dirty but has a heart of gold. Kendall is the woman who judged men by how much they were prepared to pay on a dinner date. But she turns out to be a real person. Thanks to Carter, and the counter balance of the quiet and serious Kendall, it's a delightful ride.

Unfortunately, some silly plot elements get in the way of an otherwise enjoyable romance. So much so that about 2/3 of the way through I put the book down - too much was asked of me for slimmer reward.

It's read by Sebastian York - as much as he has The Voice, he wasn't actually how I thought the playboy would sound.

It's funny - I just read the comments below and I see that another reader felt the story stalled; it was too long, and not warranted, And the implausibility. It's why this didn't score more than stars with me. Thanks for your comments samnreader. ( )

Sulla scia dei primi due libri della serie, un’altra lettura simpatica e divertente di pieno relax. ( )

The jet-set whirlwind romance in the beginning just led me to a washed out worn traveler feeling later in the book. The romance starts fun, sweet, and intense, and yes, even a bit funny. I felt like the set up was kind of novel and interesting. A good fantasy!

Then it falls flat. I don't think I've ever read a book about a character's breasts before. But in the second half, I really felt like they were given top billing.

The other reason the book started to go downhill for me was the conflict was pretty freaking stupid. I mean Baby Mama drama so predictable, resolution so predictable.

If the book would've wrapped around the 65% mark, it would've just seemed like an intense whirlwind of a romance. It tried to do too much. I no longer could understand the investment the MCs had in each other. And if they had that level of investment, they would've at least owed it to each other to see it through...

Sometimes I want to give it all up and be an editor.
a) take out all the boob references. Some are ok, 1,000 are too many (I'd give this exact feedback. Constructive, right?)
b) Wrap up the book with a different conflict or draw out the indecision. The layer of complication detracted from the love story and its "don't think just go with it" loveliness.

The authors make a decent duo, however, and I will not give up. ( )
