Changing Plans #1
Getting Off The Ground
After being stood up at the altar, compulsive over-planner Elliott Chandler decides to turn a honeymoon on Oahu into a vacation for one. Fate puts a hitch in his plans, however, when the airport is snowed in and his flight is delayed.
In the airport, the jilted groom catches the eye of another stranded traveler—the laidback and very sexy Derek Windsor. Derek breaks the ice and strikes up a conversation, and as the temperature drops outside, the heat between them rises. Pity they’re both going to different islands, but if their flight doesn’t leave soon, Mr. Calm-and-Cool may just tempt Mr. Play-It-Safe to do something reckless.
And that plane isn’t going anywhere any time soon...

About the author
L.A. Witt
218 books2,722 followersL.A. Witt and her husband have been exiled from Spain and sent to live in Maine because rhymes are fun. She now divides her time between writing, assuring people she is aware that Maine is cold, wondering where to put her next tattoo, and trying to reason with a surly Maine coon. Rumor has it her arch nemesis, Lauren Gallagher, is also somewhere in the wilds of New England, which is why L.A. is also spending a portion of her time training a team of spec ops lobsters.
Authors Ann Gallagher and Lori A. Witt have been asked to assist in lobster training, but they "have books to write" and "need to focus on our careers" and "don't you think this rivalry has gotten a little out of hand?" They're probably just helping Lauren raise her army of squirrels trained to ride moose into battle.

This was nice.
Two strangers hooking up in an airport hotel and changing their travel plans to spend the holidays together.
A cute concept. The characters didn't blow me away, though.

Stranded at an airport after being left at the altar
No the thumbs up is not for being dumped it’s for the nice little story that follows these tragic happenings. I really enjoyed this one, and need I say how pleased I am too see that there is more?
Needless to say, I will be reading the rest in the near future.

This is my first experience with L.A. Witt's books. Almost every reviews I read sort of informing that this story is only the first of two parts. So, I decide to wait until book #2 was out. I must say that I am charmed with this short story!!
The secret of the charm, I think, it's the adorable character in the narrator (Elliott) and the off-the-bat chemistry he has with Derek. It's not very often, when a story is written from 1st person, that you can get that chemistry with the love interest so strongly, because it is always feel a bit one-sided. You don't know what the other person is thinking. Not this time though. It probably helps because Elliott and Derek have that long chit-chat while they are waiting for the flight, so you kind of able to get an idea about Derek and his philosophy of life. Elliot's thoughts are amusing as well, can't help to giggle several times.
I thoroughly enjoy this set-up. While I know that it will end up somehow in the hotel (it's kind of predictable, when it comes to that, you know that the plane will be delayed to give chance for our MCs to have sex :p) but it is done with entertaining mood and just the right amount of seduction, it's so sexy and hot.
Now, I can't wait to read their adventure in Maui!!

”You know that feeling when you first meet someone, the sparks are flying, and you can’t think of anything except how much you want to touch them?”
Yeah, this is the precise feeling throughout this novella, and it is mighty stimulating.
Elliot and Derek
This story begins with Elliot being abandoned at the altar by his partner of six years and then eventually deciding to take their honeymoon trip alone. What I believe happens next is fate intervening. A snowstorm standing travelers at the airport, and an overheard phone call that disgusts one person, while intriguing another. Cue sparks!
The sweet and sensual relationship between Elliot and Derek ultimately begins from those first intoxicating moments of a certain, easy connection with another human being. A few comfortable conversations and some brazen confessions later lead to the discovery of a mutual attraction, which then triggers an impulsive and alluring invitation to spend the night together. And oh what an amazing night it is.
Naturally, with the undeniable chemistry they have together, one night is simply not enough. Such leads to another spontaneous decision to spend the rest of Elliot’s trip together.
With this being a novella, and only the start of something new and exciting, we are left with Derek and Elliot on board the plane preparing to spend the next two weeks enjoying each other’s company. Along with some promising plans for sex on the beach, of course.
This is my first L.A. Witt book, and after experiencing the beginning of Elliot and Derek’s relationship, it definitely will not be my last. I look forward to continuing their story in the next book Infinity Pools.

Mi primera impresion:
Voy a ser muy sincero, leí la sinopsis y dije: Esto va a ser un mini After con la diferencia que acá la pareja no es Heterosexual, sino Homosexual. Pensé que iba a ser típico libro donde persona buena, responsable e introvertida conoce a persona mala, extrovertida y rebelde.
Mi opinion:
Bueno, bueno, empecemos. Al empezar el libro no estaba muy motivado por la primera impresión, pero a medida que avanzaba me fue enganchando y gustando mas y mas. Los personajes en esta novela son buenos, no digamos distintos, pero tampoco rayan en lo cliché. Elliot, aunque es un obseso por la organización y es bastante "bueno" no llega a ser un personaje mojigato, retraído y chico bueno. Durante toda la novela pudimos ver que esta intentando vivir nuevas experiencias y tratar de disfrutar sus vacaciones. Otra cosa que me gusto de este personaje es que en ningún momento fue tipo: No puedo ir contigo Derek porque no me convienes y eres malo y yo soy bueno... etc. Desde que le puso la vista encima, sabia con quien se estaba metiendo y tampoco esperaba mucho mas de él. De Derek tengo que decir que es un personaje normalito. No es típico Bad-boy que anda en motocicleta y es un coqueto y blah blah blah. Tiene clase, es coqueto, pero mas en el sentido que es directo, no típico ligon. Todo esta novela me parecio muy fresca muy cortita, rápida y fresca, perfecta para salir de un bloqueo de lector. Una cosa que no me había gustado de esta novela es que fue muy corta y yo creía que era autoconclusiva, pero, fui a mi oráculo de libros (Goodreads) investigué y nope, no es autoconclusivo, es una trilogía, por lo tanto mi calificación no tuvo variación. Un libro muy recomendado, distinto, para las personas que quieren probar algo distinto.
Por hoy me despido.

Basic premise, Elliott has been left at the altar by his partner of 6 years, Ben, and decides he will take the honeymooon anyway....alone. This puts the usually staid Elliott out of his comfort zone but he wants to change things up. Due to inclement weather he finds himself facing the prospect of overnighting it at Sea-Tec airport, God knows what a joy that is, being stranded at an airport. However, he has already noticed a rather cool, calm and sexy guy, complete with Hawaiian shirt and shorts, and this same guy, Derek, starts up a conversation with the somewhat reserved, yet interested Elliott.
When Elliott manages to snare a booking at a nearby hotel (always be prepared), you know where it's going. If Elliott is going to be stranded overnight with the sexy Derek, then all roads will lead to the hotel bed and a fling. I didn't care about knowing this, it was interesting reading the journey and L A Witt writes so well it's a damn fine one. You know what they say - the best way to get over an old lover is to get under a new one. Elliott does this expression proud in Getting Off The Ground.
I liked both of the characters - Derek is confident without being arrogant, Elliott is obviously unhappy about being jilted; but not stupid enough to miss out on an opportunity when it's presented. Besides, Elliott is OCD about having the best laid plans, everyone knows what happens to them, but Elliott has bravely devised a break-out list. Being with Derek helps him cross two 'to-dos' off that list. I'm sure the third goes in 'Infinity Pools' as, when we finish here, Elliott is going to Hawaii with Derek. So, there will be a continuation of their relationship in the next book. No complaints here, this book was a satisfying read in itself, with a hopeful outlook for the next part of their relationship development.
I've just recently discovered Ms Witt's books, and I've yet to find one I don't like. I love the real feel to her characters, they're always interesting, even the secondary/minor characters are written well. The sex is always erotic with a good build, and it's hot. The writing is flawless, and the editing always neat and tidy. I so appreciate all of these things combined.
Getting Off The Ground was a quick, sexy read of the highest order. Now on to Infinity Pools.

Esta novela me dejo con ganas de mas. Me encanto la historia que se desarrolla, transcurre rápido, ya que no los protagonistas no disponen de tiempo suficiente para pasar juntos, debido al atraso de su vuelo pero aun así es una historia buena. Es la primera vez que leo un libro de este estilo, y me sorprendió gratamente. El lenguaje y la redacción que posee es fresca, sencilla y correcta, a pesar de ser un libro erótico, no llega a ser vulgar, que es algo fundamental. Este libro contiene dos personajes con vidas distintas, opiniones y mentalidades totalmente diferentes, que aun así saben aprovechar y aprender uno del otro, yo misma sentí que coincidía con muchos aspectos con respecto a la idea de amor que ellos tienen. Un rasgo que me gusto ver, es como se sienten ellos frente a las miradas de los demás, al rechazo y el miedo que enfrentan constantemente. En resumen es un libro del cual pediría un segundo, para poder seguir a estos personajes mas de cerca y que logro sorprenderle gratamente

I was surprised how long this story took to er...get off the ground. Very little happened in this first of three books. It is one long piece of exposition and info-dump-back-story coupled with conversation that does not seem real.
I have no idea what kind of adult male has NEVER been inside a bar and needs a lengthy explanation of what happens inside one. The endless dialogue is broken up with a sex scene which is fine but these stories should have been released as one book.
What saves part one is the wonderful chemistry between Derek and Elliot. I like Derek a lot!
Now I have started the second part,I am pleased they are FINALLY in Hawaii!

An alright story, but it's clearly not finished, and there's some obvious padding to make it worth publishing seperatly (one chapter consists entirely of the characters entering a hotel and then getting to their room. Not the most gripping of things to read).
December 24, 2015
Sex like that didn’t feel like a one-night stand. His kiss didn’t taste like a stranger’s kiss, his hands on my skin didn’t feel like hands that would never touch me again after tonight...
May 16, 2021
I liked it a lot. It is the kind of deep connection where the characters bare their souls, no holds and no questions. It is fast, but it doesn't feel hurried or out of the blue. I really need to get the other books, I want to know!
April 11, 2011
This would have been good if the rest of the story were included. As it is, it feels very much like an unfinished work, and just wasn't that enjoyable.
May 14, 2011
I will include a review for the sequel, Infinity Pools. It's basically just one book but we somehow got tricked into paying for it twice. Lucky for Amber Quill and L.A. Witt, it's good.

You can tell this first novella mainly serves to set the stage for their relationship to develop in the following books. While predictable, the story was still cute!
Good on Derek for letting Elliott take the reins in the hotel room instead of forcing him into anything 👍🏼

Puntuación real: 3'5/5 estrellas.
-Tampoco soy el primer hombre al que plantan en el altar.
[...]
-No eres el primero -dijo Cassie-. Pero eso no significa que no duela. ¿No te deberías tomar algo de tiempo para superarlo?
-Sí, Cass. Por eso me voy. Tal vez, le dé tiempo a sacar sus porquerías de la casa mientras no estoy. Yo solo... Necesito estar lo más lejos posible de él en este momento.
Una inspiración sofocada precedió más movimiento frente a mí. Eché un vistazo al mismo tiempo que la mujer y los niños recogían sus cosas. Ella me dirigió una mirada asqueada apenas un momento antes de pasarse a otra fila de asientos.
El libro nos cuenta cómo todo puede salirte mal: tu novio te deja en el altar, te vas de luna de miel solo, el avión no despega por problemas climáticos...Y hay un hombre muy guapo, esperando igual que tú, mirándote. Tal vez no todo es tan malo.
El aeropuerto es un lugar raro para conocer gente, ¿no?
Antes de nada, quiero aclarar que es una historia de amor entre dos hombres, por lo cual si no te sientes cómodo/a con el tema tratado, por favor no dejes comentarios molestos sobre ello. Gracias.
Supe de la existencia de este libro por Goodreads, dado que un usuario buscaba "gente para reseñar una novela (muy corta) de romance entre dos hombres". Me llamó la atención y decidí ser parte de las personas que reseñasen ese libro. Y nada, aquí estoy :D
Su portada no me llamaba la atención, la verdad, pero la sinopsis sí y por eso me decidí a leerlo. Está narrado por Elliot, al cual dejan plantado en el altar. El tiempo de la historia transcurre en un día únicamente, por lo cual es un libro muy corto (no llega tan siquiera a las 100 págs).
Es un libro bastante rápido, divertidísimo y ameno que nos dejará con ganas de más. Y lo bueno es que es una trilogía: Infinity Pools (#2) y On the list (#3).
No es introductorio.
Probablemente dos semanas no bastaban para enamorarme de él. Probablemente dos vidas enteras no bastaran para que él se enamorara de alguien.
Elliot: ha sido plantado en el altar hace poco y antes que echar a perder su luna de miel, ha preferido irse solo. Sin su ex-pareja. Sin nadie. En el aeropuerto mantiene una llamada telefónica con su hermana, la cual hablan de lo sucedido. Una mujer que está cerca suya decide irse porque es gay, lo cual le da la excusa perfecta a Derek para sentarse y entablar conversación con él. Elliot es don Planificador, le gusta saber las cosas de antemano.
Derek: el atractivo y relajado Derek. Tiene el pelo color arena y barba de un día. Aunque tiene un destino diferente al de Elliot, su avión tampoco puede levantar vuelo; por lo cual tendrá que quedarse en el aeropuerto a esperar. Se muestra increíblemente relajado mientras todos a su alrededor se ponen histéricos por una u otras razones. No es de relaciones fijas, le gusta divertirse.
Derek inclinó la cabeza y me observó en silencio. Distraídamente se recorrió el labio inferior con el pulgar. Las puntas de mis propios dedos se estremecieron, y me recordaron que yo no lo estaba tocando. Como si me hubiera olvidado.
Siendo sincera, es un libro ameno, divertido y de lenguaje sencillo perfecto para pasar el rato, para leer en poco tiempo si quieres entretenerte con alguna lectura. Tal vez te deje con ganas de leer más, que te parezca un tanto inacabada, pero esa es su gracia.
-Pobre mujer -dijo con tono inexpresivo-. Un cerebro lleno de pensamientos sucios sobre lo que dos hombres podrían hacer cuando están fuera de la vista -dio un chasquido con la lengua.
-Bueno, puede que no necesariamente esté pensando cosas sucias.
De la nada, Derek bajó la mano y me apretó el trasero. Apenas pude evitar tropezarme con mis propios pies.
Le dirigí una mirada sorprendida.
-Si antes no lo pensaba -me guiñó un ojo-, ahora sí.

I loved this. Great start to the series.
This was a great quick and steamy read. I had KU so was able to buy the audio for 1.99. Well worth the small price. Charlie David is a true performer. He is my favorite narrator to listen to.

Getting Off the Ground is the first book in the ‘Changing Plans’ series. It stars Elliott Chandler, a jilted groom, and Derek Windsor who Elliott meets at the airport. This story is told in first person through Elliott’s eyes.

The chemistry between the two guys is great, especially once they find some privacy, but it's too short to get more than a sketch of their personalities. The story sets up the foundation for the conflict, since Elliot is apparently a control freak and devil-may-care Derek doesn't believe in love. The story reads as an introduction to the second book. Sweet, but not entirely satisfying. So, I'm moving on to the Infinity Pools.

Good m/m romance about a guy who was left at the altar by his live-in boyfriend of six years. He decides to use one of the honeymoon tickets to go to Hawaii by himself and meets a very intriguing man in the airport when their flight is delayed. Please note that this is just the first part of the story - the second part will be released in a few weeks.

Short but fun. Was really slow to get going and just when things get interesting it ends. I will most likely read the next book because I'm interested in what happens next so it must of been well written;)

Definitely enjoyed this! I love LA Witt's writing, it's always a great read. I hope the wait for the sequel won't be too long...

I really liked it!
I loved the dynamic between the main characters so much. The connection they have was so natural and meant to be.
I also enjoyed being able to travel to Hawaii. The descriptions of the place really made my feel like I was there.
