Nicky Jayne has done it again. I have been a huge fan of her ever since I read Footprints. So when I had the chance to beta read for Taking Flight, there was no way I would turn it down. And she did not disappoint. I'm so grateful to be able to work closely with such an amazing author and friend. If I could rate Taking Flight 10 Stars I would!Taking Flight centers around Willow and Parker with appearances of Riley and Tanner from Footprints. After finding her fiance in bed with another woman, she leaves everything behind and starts a new life. In comes Parker Davis. Hot, sexy, amazing, Swoon-worthy Parker. I really felt a connection with Willow and I loved her the moment I started reading. This was beautifully written and Nicky did an amazing job with the character development.Willow and Parker have an obvious attraction to each other and the sexual tension between them is intense. But because of her sudden break up with her fiance, it's hard for her to trust people. They are both drawn to each other, but Parker pushes her away. Parker could be a jerk at times but most of the time.. my goodness he made my heart melt. Especially how he acted towards his best friends daughter.Just when you think all is well with everyone tragedy strikes. The ending of Taking Flight ripped me open and left me raw. I.Was.Sobbing. And I was ready to book a flight to Nicky and go all Kathy Bates on her so she would change the ending. Just kidding.I've read all of Nicky's books and this was by far one of my favorite. Even with the ending breaking me. I can't can't wait for the second book in this series. And I need it now. I'm very anxious to see how the characters end up and seeing more of Willow's and Parker's relationship growing.This can be read as a standalone but characters from her novel Footprints are also in this one. I would recommend reading that before Taking Flight. And trust me, you'll want to read them both!
