A romance in the skies from an award-winning author and flight attendant

After Claire Holloway's dream of becoming a ballerina plummets, she's left with her boyfriend as her only support . . . until she decides to become a flight attendant for the free travel. Based out of state, she moves into a crash pad with a gaggle of other flight attendants, and her fear of losing Wyatt seems to become a reality.

First Officer Nathan Stuart—a bit cynical since he and his fiancée broke up—meets a somewhat frazzled Claire on her very first day in the Seattle airport. When they end up on the same crew, he takes her under his wing, and they quickly bond.

When Claire's once-supportive boyfriend's attitude sours into resentment, she's left wondering whether her newfound joy is the right way to go. Pulled between two men and her new career, Claire must learn to listen for God's direction the same way her flight crew follows air traffic control.

In this hilarious rom-com, readers will lift off into the turbulent skies of romantic adventures as Claire navigates God's plan for her life.

My Thoughts:

Ms. Strong has a high-flying winner here. While this is a rom-com, it is also one of self-discovery for both the character and the author. Claire doesn't know who she is outside of being a ballerina, and Ms. Strong doesn't know who she is without having children to care for. I loved that Angela wrapped that together because that happens to a lot of moms. 

My favorite part was when Claire and Nathan were in Colorado Springs and went to the Garden of the Gods. That scene brought back childhood memories, as I lived in Colorado Springs for two years when I was a pre-teen.

Ms. Strong knows what she is to do. She's supposed to write books that make us laugh.

One of the quotes that is my favorite is this:

"Nathan is easy to be with. He challenges me to do better while accepting me for who I am.

This is a must-read! If it's not on your spring TBR then add it!!
