Description

The Unhoneymooners meets The Hating Game in this breezy debut romantic comedy about life--and love--30,000 feet above the ground.

After ten years as a flight attendant, Ava Greene is poised to hang up her wings and finally put down roots. She's got one trip left before she bids her old life farewell, and she plans to enjoy every second of it. But then she discovers that former pilot Jack Stone--the absurdly gorgeous, ridiculously cocky man she's held a secret grudge against for years--is on her flight. And he has the nerve to flirt with her, as if he doesn't remember the role he played in the most humiliating night of her life. Good thing she never has to see him again after they land....

But when their plane encounters mechanical problems, what should have been a quick stop at the Belize airport suddenly becomes a weekend layover. Getting stuck on a three-hour flight with her nemesis was bad enough. Being stranded with him at a luxury resort in paradise? Even with the sultry breeze and white sand to distract her, it will take all the rum punch in the country to drown out his larger-than-life presence.

Yet the more time Ava spends with him under the hot Caribbean sun, the more she begins to second-guess everything she thought she knew about him...and everything she thought she wanted from her life. And all too soon, she might have to choose between keeping her feet on the ground and her head in the clouds....

    Ava Greene wrote a list called “Ava’s Adult Aspirations” during her teenage years that included a more stagnant life so she could have more friends who didn’t feel abandoned. This hadn’t happened yet as she was a flight attendant who traveled 3 days week , so when she got engaged , she knew it was time to quit her job. But little did she know that her last flight on the job would change her life forever! It made her question was she with the right person and was a sedentary life what she really wanted? This fun light book with laugh out loud moments will have you turning the pages to find out Ava’s fate . A great book to end the summer with!

    It built up and up and up but never climaxed for me. Good story but just kind of ended without much substance or resolve.

    Super fun read that grew more addictive by the page. Only hints at intimacy, so it’s good for those preferring a lower spice quotient. Fresh and original.
