This is such a great addition to the Flying into Love series! I’ve traveled from Ireland to Australia to France and now I’m back in England – only this time on the Isle of Jersey. I desperately would love to visit Britain and, after this book, Jersey’s on my bucket list.
I have to say that I felt empathy for Nicholas, even though he was a bit of a twit. He grew up rich and had everything handed to him. And yes, he tried to launch a venture that failed, but he being focused on likes and shares isn’t the right way to go about things. I had to say, his mother putting him in front of the camera for a reality show was an interesting twist. To say Nicholas didn’t want to get his hands dirty was an understatement.
Alex is running his family farm after a devastating tragedy. He’s struggling to keep things going while living with intense guilt. He’d love to turf the prima donna royal and the film crew, but his father signed an ironclad contract and Alex won’t turn down the extra cash that’s coming to him.
Then something interesting happens – the men actually get to know each other. Start to really care about each other. They – gasp – listen. And, shocker, share. Frankly, I loved that part. Nicholas’s true self emerged and Alex apparently didn’t have a potato wedged up his tush. Then, just as they were making progress, the time for the shoot to end and Nicholas to leave arrived. Alex being Alex…he blew it. And Nicholas being Nicholas…he didn’t help the situation.
Looked kind of bleak. But, this is a CF White romance, so I knew I’d get my happy ending. I just didn’t predict the ending I’d get.
Also, shout out to Alex’s mate Charlie and his man Darius from Leap of Faith. I was so thrilled to see my favorite circus performers back home! Loved the cameos.
Final kudos to Piers Ryman. I’m a huge Piers fan and I feel like his narration style fits brilliantly with CF’s perfect writing. A great combination and I highly recommend.
