High and Tight by Vanessa North
3.0
This for me was an average story (81 ebook pages), since if I'm given emotionally immature pairings, I'd prefer better reasons.
The only saving grace was the smart women who care about these guys. It's reasonably well written, it just ticks too many of my 'ugh, no' boxes. I'm never going to love a story where a single honest conversation could have resolved everything years earlier. I'm never going to love characters who expect their love to read their mind, or expect their love to endure emotional hits and still accept them back. Worst of all, neither ticked my 'hero' box. They'll appeal to readers who want to nurse people, but I'm too aware of that fallacy. The one great element in this story is the separation before the resolution, during which Adam makes a rare mature decision. For a pilot, he is awfully risk-averse.
