Playboy Pilot by Penelope Ward, Vi Keeland
4.0

I just have to say, where the heck have all the hot pilots been hiding? Every time I’ve flown, I’ve gotten the old ugly guys. I would have loved to have found a “Trip” of my own when I was younger. I would have jumped at joining the mile high club. Playboy Pilot is the first time I’ve gotten a chance at reading something by the dynamic duo of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. I’ve read their solo stuff but never got around to any of the co-written stuff. So when I won a paperback ARC of Playboy Pilot, I squealed. Loudly. I think my neighbors across the state lines probably heard me.

I have to say, I’m now kicking myself for not jumping on this Keeland-Ward bandwagon sooner. This book was fantastic. Carter was cocky, confident and charming. Just downright delectable and I wanted to eat him up. If he’s an example of the men these two dream up, I’m going to be one-clicking their books from now on starting with the ones I’ve missed. Kendall is sassy and takes no crap from Carter. It was fun watching them banter and feed off each other.

I thought this was going to be a fun and flirty novel about a reckless love affair. And don’t get me wrong, there was a lot of humor between these pages. But what I got was so much more. It was a heartwarming story about overcoming your past to fight for love. There are so many layers to each character, they are beautifully flawed and wonderfully complex. And I loved that I couldn’t tell where one author stopped and another began, the story flowed flawlessly.

I cannot wait to see what this duo comes up with next. If you haven’t had a chance to read this one, buy it today. This is one trip you don’t want to miss.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
