Ava and Caleb have the exact opposite of a meet-cute. First they try to rationalize it, then they try to deny it, then they try to control it.īut I’m getting ahead of myself. The way Ava and Caleb react to their growing feelings for each other is exactly the way you’d expect people to react. One of my catnips is characters who act the way actual people would act. But even if she does decide to risk her heart on Caleb, there is no guarantee her stubborn Scot will want to risk his heart on her. When his stay in Boston becomes permanent, Ava must decide whether to fight her feelings for him or give into them. Not long thereafter Ava realizes she's made a terrible error because as it turns out Caleb Scott isn't quite so unlikeable after all. Ava agrees, knowing her heart's in no danger since a) she barely likes Caleb and b) his existence in her life is temporary. When pure chance pulls Ava back into Caleb's orbit, he proposes they enjoy their physical connection while he's stranded in Boston. And that's all it was-until Caleb shows up on her doorstep. Then over the course of their journey home, their antagonism somehow lands them in bed for the steamiest layover Ava's ever had. Her last ditch attempt to salvage the trip was thwarted by an arrogant Scotsman, Caleb Scott, who steals a first class seat out from under her. As if flying back to Phoenix to bury a childhood friend wasn't hell enough, a cloud of volcanic ash traveling from overseas delayed her flight back home to Boston. The universe is conspiring against Ava Breevort. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from Piaktus in exchange for an honest review.
