Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling authors of Stuck-Up Suit and Cocky Bastard, comes a sexy new standalone novel.

Money or love? Which would you choose?

You probably just answered the question in your head thinking it’s an easy decision.

For me, it’s not. Did I mention it’s a lot of money? A hell of a lot.

I needed to go far away to think it through.

As I embarked on an impulsive trip, I hit a detour when I met sexy Carter in the airport lounge. We struck up a heated conversation.

Then, he left.

I thought I’d never see him again.

But fate had other plans.

Surprise! He was the pilot of my flight.

The bigger surprise was the adventure that followed after the plane landed.

Carter was dangerous and always on the move.

Even though our connection was magnetic, I knew it was only temporary.

He would give me tickets, and I would follow him around the world to exotic places.

A bevy of flight attendant exes and rumors about Carter’s reputation were never far behind.

I didn’t know what to believe.

But I was addicted. Nothing else mattered anymore. And I was going to get hurt. Because a part of me wanted to be the one to finally ground the playboy pilot.

At the very least, he was taking me on a thrilling ride.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

My Review:

Playboy Pilot may just be my favorite novel written by this amazing duo. Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland kicked ass….yet again!

This novel literally has everything. Humor, Romance, Angst, and Adventure!!!!

I found Playboy pilot to be enticingly addictive. I love how these authors do not skimp on detail. I loved novels that are adventurous. This novel had me guessing where Carter was going to lead Kendall next. Every destination that Carter and Kendall experienced together was perfect in its own way.

“We’re both fucked up. Maybe that’s what it is. Maybe we see a little of ourselves in each other. We’re two wrongs that somehow make a right. Inseparable we’re miserable, but together… we somehow work.”

I think Carter is my favorite male protagonist that Keeland/Ward has ever written. I loved how he was a reformed playboy that was trying his hardest to show Kendall he wasn’t the guy he used to be. In fact he was up until she came into the picture. But it’s true what they say about how one person can change your entire viewpoint of the world and of yourself. I loved how Carter had an obsession with the Beatles and randomly quoting song titles and lyrics at appropriate times.

“I have this theory. If you think about almost any given moment in life, there is a Beatles song that can describe it.”

Where there are happy moments in Keeland/Ward’s novels, there is also a heartbreaking scene thrown into the mix.

“Sometimes the things we hold on to the tightest are the things we most need to set free.”

Kendall learns some shocking news when she is on her way to meet up with Carter. The shocking news blows the new couples world to shreds. The emotion was strongly written.I probably felt every emotion a person can possibly feel when reading chapter 20 and on. I will admit i shed a few tears. One thing that angers me when it comes to romance novels is when the female is faced with a dilemma in her relationship, most of the time she just walks away without a second thought. I want to shake all the female protagonists and yell STAY, how else are they going to work it out and talk the situation through if you don’t talk. But, in a way it’s a good thing Kendall walked away. In the long run she was able to find what she was searching for in the beginning of the novel. She was able to find herself and her own choice on the tough situation she was dealt with.

“Half of the people in the world will tell you to follow your head, half will tell you to follow your heart. My advice, follow the one that isn’t confused. The stronger one will eventually convince the other to fall in line.”

If you haven’t read Playboy Pilot by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward…well….What are you waiting for. It’s amazing!
