Ryan was called home from a deployment to find his wife had been murdered. Not only was she dead, but she had betrayed him in the worst way. After that, he was so caught up in his grief and the betrayal that he let life pass him before the next year. Once he finally decides he is ready to get back out and try to let off a little tension at a local bar, his attempt to find an easy hookup is waylaid by a short spunky blonde pilot. Charlie is also looking for a no strings attached night, but chickens out believing Ryan couldn't possibly be interested in her. So begins the chase. Ryan is intrigued by Charlie but can't understand why she keeps running away from him. He is determined to get past her defenses and sets out to win her over with a charming pursuit. The romance and banter between the two of them is quirky and sweet and amusing. Unfortunately, someone is out to sabotage Charlie and her planes...maybe even permanently. Between Ryan's busy schedule training for an upcoming mission out of the country and Charlie's training for an aerobatic show, the two struggle to connect at times. Charlie continues to be in danger, but will Ryan even be in the country when she needs him or will he lose another woman he loves while trying to do his job?
Though this story didn't have as much action as some of the others in this series, the romance was completely endearing, and the characters were so easy to like.
I received an ARC from Net Galley for review.
