Jolene is done with pilots. She’s better than just another quick lay-over. But dating is difficult with her chaotic schedule in and out of airport terminals and hotel rooms all around the world. She’s tired of watching couples fly off to romantic destinations and families spending vacations together. However, she doesn’t plan to be a flight attendant forever. She just doesn’t know what she wants to do yet. One thing she does know is that she certainly doesn’t want to do that arrogant Greek bastard Jim.
Dimitrios “Jim” Georgakopolous is a contract pilot who loves his job — who wouldn’t when you can pick and choose your own schedule and destination? When a flight cancelation turns into the best layover of his life, he suddenly finds he doesn’t want to leave the arms of a certain dark-haired beauty named Jolene. Unfortunately, the storm that stranded them both there compare little to Jolene’s rage when she finds out he’s pilot.
Jim never expected to find his airport tryst again…and Jolene certainly didn’t expect to be the stewardess on the same plane that Jim’s traveling on to Greece. Will this be a twist of fate or a modern-day Greek tragedy?
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Sexy, fun read - loved the Greek setting!
"I plan to be safe, with my life and my heart. But I also plan to have amazing sex with a Greek god."
Jolene Tanner is determined to avoid getting involved with pilots after another disastrous fling with yet another one. When she meets a cocky but super gorgeous guy, Jimmy, during a layover, she throws caution to the wind and spends a pretty unforgettable night with him. However, come morning, she realises that he lied to her and she makes a stormy exit.
"You kind of ruined me for anyone else, if you must know. I can still smell you, taste you, still want you."
When they meet again, he's a passenger on her flight on his way to spend a couple of weeks with his relatives in Greece, and manages to persuade her into a charade for his family. However, it soon becomes unclear whether their feelings are fake or real.
"What if the fantasy was never a fantasy to being with...but instead it was all reality?"
This was an easy, enjoyable read. Jimmy is a charming, lovable guy, who didn't realise what he wanted until he met Jolene. I adored his confidence and jolly nature. Jolene is so tentative and careful for fear of being hurt that she almost loses her chance at real love. I loved how Jimmy brought her out of herself and how free she felt around him. Their reconciliation was pretty adorable! I also thoroughly enjoyed the Greek setting - one of my favourite places to holiday and certainly made me yearn to be back there!

She was born and raised in a small town in Southeast Missouri. After graduating with a degree in Mass Communications, Gail married her high school sweetheart and moved back to her hometown.
She’s been on many adventures traveling across America and Europe. But her favorite adventures are the ones where she gets lost in a book.
Her love for reading and traveling led her to attend book conventions. Those conventions gave her the encouragement she needed to combine her passion for creativity and storytelling. Using coffee and her imagination, she loves writing contemporary romances that blend laughter and true love out of every day chaos. She writes in a variety of genres including, romantic comedy, romantic suspense, and new adult/ coming of age romance.
She debuted her first novel Worth a Shot, a steamy romantic comedy with a twist of suspense, in January 2020. Gail has hit the ground running and writing since. In her first year as a published author, she also released a new adult romantic suspense series – The Randalls, a three book series that follows the struggles of the Randall siblings. She also joined other author worlds such as: Corinne Michaels’ Salvation Society, K. Bromberg’s Every Day Heroes, and Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward’s Cocky Hero Club.
When Gail isn’t day dreaming in front of her computer, she’s busy raising her two daughters with her husband, who has the patience of a saint. She loves traveling with her family, binge watching television series with her husband, singing Disney songs with her daughters, and having huge family and friends get-togethers that involve lots of food and usually a cake.
She hopes by following her own dream of becoming an author, she can set an example to her daughters that dreams can become a reality. Maybe she can encourage you, too.
Never stop believing in love, dreams, and yourself. And coffee…don’t give up on coffee and books.
