This story follows Emily, who is traveling to New York for a job interview. After an unexpected situation at the airport, she gets upgraded to first class. Once aboard the plane, she finds herself seated next to a handsome, suited man named Jim. They hit it off immediately, and after a weather delay, one unforgettable night of memories and walking away. Fast forward a year—Emily starts a new reporting job at Miles Media, only to discover that the man she met in first class is now her new boss.

I forgot how much I enjoyed this book, and I’m so glad I reread it so I can continue the series. The fiery tension, chemistry, and plot all came together perfectly for me. I love how both characters are stubborn, and the heated moments made me fall for them even more. I also laughed a lot and shared Emily’s frustration with Jameson’s hot-and-cold behavior. I adore T.L. Swan’s writing—it’s so easy to follow. I highly recommend the audiobook, and now I’m finally ready to dive into the rest of the series that I haven’t experienced yet.

Estava à espera de mais, sinto que faltou desenvolvimento!! Os conflitos eram muitos e mal resolvidos, sobretudo dos personagens principais.

3.0

The first half of the book I didn’t like much. It’s written like their sexual attraction was so strong they couldn’t resist, regardless of how it hurt them. They argued constantly and treated each other horribly.

Then Jameson flips a switch and decides to be with Emily, and suddenly they’re sweet to each other and it’s a nice romance. Until the 3rd act breakup, where Jameson is horrible again. I don’t know how, but they get their HEA and if you can believe it, it was pretty sweet.

Then next book is supposed to be about the nice brother, so I’ll give it a try.

TW/CW details about infidelity

Jameson had an agreement with his ex fiance. While long distance, they could sleep around but couldn’t get serious with anyone else, and they were going to get fully back together after five years of Claudia working her dream job in London. Emily didn’t know anything about that arrangement until they’d been together a few weeks. Jameson broke it off with Claudia and then told Emily. There is also a side character who found evidence his boyfriend was cheating (all off page) and struggled to end the relationship.
