Review: The Layover

✩✩✩✩

After ten years as a flight attendant, Ava Greene is poised to hang up her wings and finally put down roots. She's got one trip left before she bids her old life farewell, and she plans to enjoy every second of it. But then she discovers that former pilot Jack Stone--the absurdly gorgeous, ridiculously cocky man she's held a secret grudge against for years--is on her flight. And he has the nerve to flirt with her, as if he doesn't remember the role he played in the most humiliating night of her life. Good thing she never has to see him again after they land....

But when their plane encounters mechanical problems, what should have been a quick stop at the Belize airport suddenly becomes a weekend layover. Getting stuck on a three-hour flight with her nemesis was bad enough. Being stranded with him at a luxury resort in paradise? Even with the sultry breeze and white sand to distract her, it will take all the rum punch in the country to drown out his larger-than-life presence.

Yet the more time Ava spends with him under the hot Caribbean sun, the more she begins to second-guess everything she thought she knew about him...and everything she thought she wanted from her life. And all too soon, she might have to choose between keeping her feet on the ground and her head in the clouds....

Review: I had a lot of fun with The Layover, and I think it makes a great beach read. However, I found the first part of the book a lot more interesting (and funny), with all the situations Ava and Jack find themselves in. Once they do get romantically involved, the plot became a lot plainer and fairly predictable.

 

 

It was interesting to learn the intricacies of the flight attendant's jobs, though, their crazy hours, the uncertainty on wether they will be able to arrive in time to celebrate important events with family and friends, and the overall difficulties they may have in their personal lives. 

On Amazon The Layover is being compared to The Hating Game and The Unhoneymooners, but having read all of them, I have to say that while The Layover great, it's still not as good as the others. 

Happy readings!
