The Plot (from Goodreads):
Ollie Wright loves the thrill of taking chances, like opening a pet grooming salon in an airport where every day is a little unpredictable. The one thing she won’t risk is her heart, so catching glimpses of a cute stranger from afar is enough romantic entanglement for her.
Bennett Baker is a professional risk assessor by day while writing popular romance novels at night, except he finds himself facing writer’s block. His life of carefully planned stability comes crashing down when he rescues a slippery pup in the airport and returns it to the enchanting pet groomer whose laugh inspires him to start writing again.
Their chance encounter and instant chemistry thrusts them into a whirlwind of airport dates at pretzel kiosks, stolen glances at empty gates, and late-night texts that leave them swooning. If the risk-adverse Bennett can take a chance on uncertainty and adventurous Ollie will break her own rule, their relationship might stop taxiing and actually take off.
The Review:
I love the idea of a series of novellas set in an airport. There’s something so magical and romantic about airports–although, I have precheck and lounge access, so my view on airports may be a little more positive than some people’s! Even without that, though, I love the air of anticipation and excitement. All that to say that an airport is the perfect setting for a romance.
I loved Ollie and Bennett. I was impressed with how much depth Williams was able to pack into these characters in just a few pages.
This quick, cute novella is sure to lift your spirits–and might be the perfect thing to fly through on a layover! Thanks to PRHA audio for the free ALC in exchange for an honest review.
