The Fly Guy by Laura Bradford

Sarah Dundee ekes out a living by writing products reviews for a nature magazine. Her reviews attracted the attention of a major publisher who wants her to fly all over the country reviewing products in some of the most remote locations available. There’s just one problem, Sarah is deathly afraid of airplanes. Well, she actually has two problems. The other is she’s trying to stop the nearby airport from expanding into a nature preserve, which immediately pits her against the airport’s owner, Logan Donnelly. Logan on the other hand needs to expand his airport or face financial ruin. Unfortunately, from the instant they met, both Sarah and Logan feel a strong attraction for each other. But without room to compromise, the couple is headed for one big crash landing.

Okay, I’ll admit it. I like airplanes. And finding a book for $2.49 with over 430 pages is a real bargain, so this book had a lot going for it from the start. However, for some reason it took me a long time to get into the story and I never felt much for either the heroine or the hero. However, the ending of this book almost makes up for its flaws. I won’t spoil it by giving away the ending, but I just couldn’t put the book down for the last 50 pages or so. Unfortunately Laura forgot to tie up a few loose ends in the story, so unless you really like stories about airplanes or a good bargain, you might want to think twice about this book.

Bottom line: A pretty good book
