Review: Love at First Flight (Love is in the Air Book 1) by Janine Amesta

Can the most awkward ‘Meet Cute’ lead to something real?

When Selah Moreno‘s father unexpectedly dies, she abandons her dream job as an airline pilot to helm her family’s struggling hot air balloon business. While piloting is in Selah’s blood, the pressure of being everyone’s rock leaves little room to breathe. It’s no wonder she gets caught up in the daydream of flirting with a handsome potential client…until she finds out he’s booking a proposal flight.

Smith Rock park ranger Dex Westerly wants to take his relationship to the next level, but nothing goes right. His proposal is rejected and a rogue wind tips the basket upon landing, sending the pretty and curvaceous balloon pilot into his lap where she makes an ill-timed joke, increasing his humiliation.

Months later, Dex and Selah bump into each other and bond over business struggles. Dex proposes a marketing partnership to promote her balloon tours while raising funds for the park’s new wildlife rescue program. Sparks fly between them, and when a promotional social media post goes viral, they’re pushed into a pretend whirlwind romance that starts to feel too close to love.

 

My Review: 

An amazing love story with all the feels.

I enjoyed this book from the very start. Selah and Dex’s story was fun to read.  But there were also a lot of emotional parts before Selah and Dex finally got their happily ever after. I especially enjoyed Harper, the crow; she was a great addition to this story.  Selah’s family also made the book a little more interesting.  I can’t wait to read more of this series. 

 

 

 

 

Review: What They Don’t Know (Moonshine Book 3) by Susan Sands

When the past comes to call…

Following the death of her mother and the breakup with her cheating fiancé, clinical therapist, Bree Hawthorne, has built a new life for herself and her pup, Tiny, in the mountains of Moonshine, Georgia. Her practice is thriving, and occasionally, she consults with law enforcement, calling on her insights into human behavior to profile and catch criminals. She finally feels happy, and then the body of a former patient is discovered.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s agent, Mitch Calloway, is investigating the death of a woman who disappeared two years ago. When he meets Bree, Mitch inadvertently offends the blonde bombshell therapist. Though a skilled investigator, his social skills are beyond rusty, but Bree can forgive much if pie is involved.

Through her experience with cults and unfortunate family ties, Bree is dragged into the investigation, and soon she and the handsome, though seriously awkward GBI officer go undercover as man and wife at a suspicious nature retreat where several women have gone missing. For Bree, it’s a chance for closure on her unconventional past—if she and Mitch can survive the investigation.

 

My Review: 

Entertaining and unpredictable.

I couldn’t get enough of this book.  I was hard to put down.  It had everything that I was looking for to make it one of those books that I won’t soon forget; great characters, romance, a mystery, strong family ties and amazing friendship, plus a plot twist that I never saw coming.  I am already counting down the days until the next book in this series comes out.
