This story has captured my heart and given me hope—or perhaps made me more delusional—that love can be found in the most unexpected places, like an airport or mid-flight.

Emy Nichols, a spirited flight attendant with Infinite Airlines, finds herself entangled in an unexpected romance with the standoffish yet intriguing Jackson during a transatlantic flight. The chemistry between Emy and Jackson is palpable and relatable, as they navigate their different upbringings and find themselves alone together in the magical city of Paris. With her unwavering support and friendship, Chloe, Emy’s best friend and fellow flight attendant, adds warmth and charm to the story.

This book beautifully blends my favorite elements: the excitement of travel, the vibrant energy of New York City, and the romantic allure of Paris, a city high on my travel list. Emy and Jackson's story is a heartwarming reminder that love can take flight when you least expect it. I adored every moment of this delightful romance and am overjoyed that more books featuring the wonderful women of Infinite Airlines are on the horizon.
"First Class Romance" is an absolute must-read for anyone who believes in the magic of love and the thrill of adventure. This book has truly soared to the top of my favorites list!

Thank you Camille Hope for this advanced copy!! 💜

I am obsessed with Daisy the talking dog! Daisy is sassy and funny and loves to give Gina a hard time. This is the 2nd book I've read in the series and I love it. I am going to read them all. I liked that it continued to develop Gina and Trevor's characters and introduced others. This was a fun and quick read. This cozy mystery series is also a great palate cleanser from mystery/thrillers and romance genres. 

 

Josie Moore, the volunteer mayor and coffee shop owner in a small North Carolina town, is entangled in a series of romantic misadventures. With four failed engagements and the recent revelation of her millionaire father, Josie’s personal life is a PR nightmare. Known for collecting fiancés like Thanos collects Infinity Stones, Josie’s inability to say no and her tendency to babble when anxious make her a frustrating character. Her collection of rings and wedding dresses from past engagements hints at unresolved issues, and one can't help but think therapy might be a good step for her. I'd love to see this played out in the book and build character development and the storyline. 

 

Matthew, her sister’s best friend, steps into the picture with surface-level development, marked mainly by his blonde hair, glasses, and nice body. The depth of his character and background remains largely unexplored, making their sudden romance feel unconvincing. Despite this, there are sweet moments, such as when Matthew gives Josie his grandma’s engagement ring, adding a touch of warmth to their relationship. The book has humorous scenes, like the bathtub incident and Josie's witty grandpa, but the rushed and shallow romantic development detracts from the overall experience. While "The Fiance Dilemma" offers light-hearted entertainment, it ultimately falls short of delivering a convincing love story. 

 

Recommend (Yes/No/Maybe): Probably not.

This is a short 96-page novella. A good easy read. Knowing that there is a book 2 coming with different characters, I am feeling a little shortchanged with Archie and Sophie's story unless book 2 is also a short novella. I think the story and character development could have been lengthier to make it a bit better and the characters more relatable. There wasn't a wow factor or anything particularly special about the main characters.

Thank you Carina for this complimentary copy. Review left voluntarily.
