Review: Strong and Sexy

✩✩✩✩

Shayne Mahoney is the laid-back, easygoing rebel in his family. But running Sky High Air--a charter airline catering to the rich and famous--is a dream come true, especially with in-flight specials like kissing his client's beautiful, brainy daughter in a cozy coat closet. But before Shayne can say "Fasten Your Seat Belts," Dani claims to witness a murder, gets stalked in her own apartment, and, as an added bonus, gets them both shot at by a mystery sniper. Normally Shayne would be strapping on his parachute and jumping out of the plane by now, but with Dani's delicious body clinging to his, letting go is the last thing he's willing to do. . .

Review: I remember reading book one in this Sky High series (Smart and Sexy) a long time ago, but somehow never managed to go through the rest of the series. So I can vouch for the fact that Strong and Sexy can be read as a stand alone, as I didn't feel the need to go through book one to refresh my memory. 

The first part of the book is great fun. When the plot thickens and suspense increases, however, I found the story a but muddled. It's confusing why the police never really paid any attention to Dani's problems and why there was no mention of any previous incidents (I can't really explain it here without spoilers, but it seems it wasn't the fist time the culprit acted and at least some of the characters should have noticed something amiss).

 

But while it may not be Jill Shalvis' all time best, Strong and Sexy is still a nice romantic suspense with a funny streak. 

 Happy readings!
