Brooke Addison is on the fast track to make partner at her law firm. When her best girl friend from law school dies Brooke decides life is too short and thinks it’s time to take a sabbatical from work to live hers.  Okay, good premise, but then the storyline starts to spiral in a downhill direction.  She decides on a whim to go to Paris, books a flight, but not a hotel and doesn’t have any plans once she arrives there.  She’s an intelligent attorney who is about to make partner and all of a sudden she exercises such poor judgment that she needs to be arrested by the “Bad Decision Police”.  Spoiler Alert: She has sex with a man she’s just met who sits next to her on the plane, ON THE PLANE!  All he had to do was kiss her, and she tells him she “wants him”.  Since he’s introduced himself to her as a pilot going to a business conference (presumably for the airline, the author leaves it up to you decide), they end up in an overhead sleeping compartment above the flight deck. (It’s like going up in an attic, I don’t know if this actually exists on a plane or not).  After Lance, the pilot, talks to a flight attendant, in the back presumably to make the arrangements not to be disturbed, he takes her above to join the Mile High Club where airline personnel can stretch out and sleep on a couple of cots.  Initially, I thought this story had potential, but it’s not developed, and it’s a cliffhanger.  You are encouraged to buy the “boxed  set”  of all 3 stories for $3.99 which consists of just 124 pages for all 3 books in its entirety.  I won’t be doing that nor in good conscious recommend this book/series to anyone else to do the same.  The author Kelly Young shows promise, but needs to realize this isn’t the way to build up or keep a fan base.
