Fly with Me by Chanel Cleeton
4.0
Once upon a time I read every military romance I could get my hands on. After finishing several series, I moved on to other genres. Chanel Cleeton is a new-to-me author, and based on my friend Eliza’s recommendation, I decided to dip my toes back into the military romance pool with the Wild Aces series. I’m so glad I read Fly With Me because it reminded me of why I enjoy this trope so much.
Let’s see, you’ve got a badass alpha male with a heart of gold in Noah “Burn” Miller. He’s an Air Force fighter pilot devoted to serving his country. While steadily working his way up the ranks, he’s also teaching young pilots. If you swooned over Tom Cruise in Top Gun you’ll love Noah even more. He’s got confidence without the arrogance. At the same time, while he’s not a commitment-phobe, he does have some insecurities regarding relationships that ring true.
One staple of military romance novels that I love is a tough heroine. Jordan is a self-assured bombshell with a wicked sense of humor and a spine of steel. Perpetually single at 30, she’s sick of hearing the When are you going to settle down with a nice guy? crap from her family. Jordan has just about given up on finding the right guy, but she refuses to settle. A chance encounter with Noah in Las Vegas drastically changes the course of both their lives.
Jordan and Noah move from lust to love at warp speed, but I appreciated that they don’t dance around the hardships of being involved with someone in the Air Force. I was drawn to Noah’s affectionate and protective nature. I loved their banter, and I definitely wasn’t hating on the heat between them.
Chanel Cleeton has created a diverse cast of intriguing characters, and I’m looking forward to learning more about them in future books.
