Fly by T.A. Foster
Release Date August 28, 2014
Not everyone’s good at one-night
stands.
Skye Stephens has the worst day of
her professional career, and all she wants to do is shed her power suit and get
lost in the sheets with the hot guy she met at the bar. The problem is, this
uptight ad exec doesn’t know how to do one-night stands. She has strict rules
about dating and when to let a man in her bedroom.
Fighter pilot Ben “Bolt” Hardcastle
is used to lovin’ and leavin’. But, after he meets Skye, one night doesn’t seem
to be enough.
When these two crash-land into each
other, a connection strng enough to make the loner pilot and the sexy
businesswoman shed their rules about love and relationships begins to burn
deeper than either of them ever expected.
"This girl was going to kill him, tame him or worse, both."
Ben "Bolt"
Hardcastle was a Marine pilot who flew his plane hard and played his woman
harder. Travelling around the world on missions with his buddies,
Hollywood, Eagle and Ranger; he was living his life as he always wanted.
Skye Stephens was as straight laced as they come; a hard-working
advertising executive who had little time for fun and even less time for men.
A purely accidental meeting between these two polar opposites at a bar
one night; leads to Skye inviting Ben to do one thing that was so unlike her;
have a one night stand. And it's once they are back at her apartment
where the story begins to unravel. I loved this book and gave it 3.5
stars. Anyone who love a good old fashion girl tames wild boy story with a hint
of marine in there needs to add this book to their TBR list asap!
Lacking the protection
necessary to actually have a one night stand, Skye and Ben do everything but
and wake up to an extremely awkward morning after; with Skye practically
pushing Ben out the door. Ben is baffled since he is normally the one
leaving the woman behind knowing he will never see him again but there is
something different about Skye, she gets into his head. I think it was
fate that he left his dogtags at her house, forcing him to see her again and
actually agree to her dating for 30 days before sleeping together rule.
Ben doesn't know how to be a boyfriend and Skye isn't always the best at
letting her hair down and having fun, but together they are the perfect
compliment to each other.
"Because if I can do this now, imagine what we'll feel like together."
Skye begins to let
down her defenses and starts to fall for Ben, often questioning the validity of
her 30 day rule. She even opens up to Ben about her mother and the mental
issues that she struggles with. The caring way that Ben volunteers to
spend time with her mom while she is at work when most guys walk away after
knowing only makes her open up her heart more to him. It's after they
finally make smoking hot love to each other when the other shoe drops.
Ben has to deploy to Asia for 6 months; making Skye think that this
relationship really was nothing more then sex to him. He fights to get
her back and prove that he cares about her like he has never cared about a
woman before and she decides to wait for him to come home, even after he told
her that he couldn't ask her to do that. I actually swooned during that
scene it was so completely romantic.
Although Skye worries
about him flying, worries about him being faithful to her and worries if this
is too much too fast; she loves Ben with all her heart. And when she gets
the call that he gets two weeks leave and they can vacation anywhere she wants
to go, she is absolutely elated to spend that time with him. The happily
ever after was another completely romantically comical scene and fit this
couple perfectly.

sometimes living oceans apart, their own love story continues every day.

along the North Carolina Outer Banks and now resides in the state with her
husband, two children, and two canine kiddos.

escape for date night, you can find her reading, writing, or planning her next
beach trip.
