Have you ever been reading a book and have to put it away for a bit and catch yourself wondering what the characters are doing?  This one grabbed me like that.  Every time I put it down, I wondered how Cooper and Kayla were getting along without me.  Crazy, of me, but I like it when an author is able to grab me and pull me in like that.I met Cooper and Kayla in an airport waiting area.  Cooper is attacked by a candy cane wielding child and falls, quite literally, at Kayla’s feet.  They exchange greetings and pleasantries and in Kayla’s quirky, actuarial habit of sharing statistics, she reveals her extreme fear of flying.  The dialogue between the two of them here is clean and clear and lacks a lot of that nervous, first meeting, stilted conversation.  I enjoyed getting to know them both this way.  After realizing Kayla is in first class Cooper decides to upgrade to first class so that he can help distract her. And does. He. Ever. Wow. The hottest sex scene of the book takes place on an airplane.Kayla is a statistician heading from Maine to North Carolina for her younger sister’s wedding.  Cooper is an ex-Marine heading to North Carolina to begin his new career in private security.  Their chemistry is sweet and hot and sweet all over again.  One of my favorite scenes in the books takes place at the end when Cooper realizes that, in order to keep her, he’s going to have to do something way over the top, so he faces one of his biggest fears to win the girl.This book is a first for me by this author, but I do not intend to let it be my last! 4 of 5 stars
