Turbulence #4
Connecting Flight
There’s no place like home. For Paul Cronin, maybe that’s a good thing. His DC condo is practically empty, aside from a week’s worth of mail and the lingering smell of his hippie housekeeper’s vinegar-based cleaners. His life is empty too, filled with activities he doesn’t enjoy and friends he only hangs out with because it’s easier than avoiding them.
It doesn’t seem like Dallas Turner would have much in common with Paul. There’s the whole race thing. And the religion thing. And probably, if they were to be awkwardly honest, some socioeconomic thing too. Not only that, they live in entirely different parts of the country. Even so, Paul can’t get Dallas out of his mind. It seems there’s a connection there—a powerful connection. Something they have in common that goes beyond working for the same airline…and flying through the same turbulence.
Hopefully Dallas’ invitation to stay in Fort Lauderdale still stands.

Beautiful caring pictures at the end..........

Another great installment of the Turbulence serial novel. In part 4, Paul returns home for the first time post-Bermuda, and looks upon his life in a new light. Meanwhile, Awesome FA Dallas is finding the evidence of what their autopilots had done in Bermuda. (!!)
I really dug how the cover connects to the story--Paul was so hilarious as he went back and forth about whether to check his voicemail.
I still don’t know where this story is heading, but I’m very much looking forward to what the next flight of 511 will bring.
This episode and the previous three can be downloaded from JCP Books or on Amazon.

Bow-chicka-wow-wow
. They got it on! Scully gave Mulder . :D
In this installment we discover the consequences of the unsupervised actions of the autopilot versions of Paul and Dallas in Bermuda before their bodies/psyches were reintegrated, making for hilarious reading. I can say 'hilarious' since it turned out all right in the end. Dallas and Paul are so sweet together. The former worrying over his subconscious greed, the latter trying to figure out if they'd hooked up, and them both obsessing over each other.
You know, I had to up the star rating on the last one to 5 stars because it was so awesome. I find it so hard to discern "I love it, I love it!" and "I love it!", a frequent problem I have with books by JCP.

This is the one where Dallas and Paul spend time together, and they're not flying, in turbulence, or trying to figure out what's going on. There's nothing separating them, nothing acting as a barrier.
...the single night he’d spent on the island felt more vivid, more real, than the existence that, until this point, he’d spent his entire life creating.
Hmmmmmmmmm, what could this portend for them?
And a lot of questions are still unanswered.
Yet again, JCP brings it all home in the Humanity Dept.
On to the next.

One of the most prominent themes in Connecting Flight is racism. It isn't completely obvious, but a few comments and moments in this story made it more serious than the first three..
This one shows Paul and Dallas at home.
Paul is back in DC and he is still trying to 'wake up' from what he experienced. He is also successfully avoiding a horny dentist. At the same time Dallas is trying to find out the truth about Marlin.

Yeah, it's absolutely killing me to know what the hell is going on. Part of me is loving it though, having no clue, no idea, no hint. A very much different experience than what I'm used to when it comes to mystery-themed stories.

I get a little bored with the flashbacks, mostly because I want to see more interaction between our heroes and more info about the mystery. So this one was much better because it was mostly present day. Dallas is so adorable in his increasing concern for Paul. This episode is where they become a lot closer and it's adorable. It had a lot more in common with traditional M/M romance but still maintained the plot about the interesting mystery.

This installment felt more like a brief lull in the action, although it does move the story along. Issues of race and class are touched on, Dallas and Paul finally get physical, and we learn what their autopilots have been up to in Bermuda. Can't wait to read more...

Two words for this instalment... "funny" & "disturbing"
The funny... Paul's Autopilot going on a massive shopping spree while in Bermuda and poor Dallas trying to curb that and explain it to Turbulence Paul. I couldn't help but laugh. I could see this being something my Autopilot doing if I had one.
The disturbing... The racism wasn't something I was expecting and it took me by surprise.
Still no romance yet but oh so much closer. Sexy times ensued.

Только сейчас заметила то, что автор сама делает обложки. Классно - это плюс, то есть мы точно можем знать как автор представляет ГГ. Интересно, для Мневермайнд она тоже сама обложку делала (там просто такой кошмар на обложке, можно расплакаться от страха)). Теперь по тексту, наконец-то клубничка. Вяленькая.
Как они контролируют свои оболочки на Бермудах. Если так тратить бабки каждый день, можно разориться!

So, Paul and Dallas' alter egos had some fun in the Bermudas... and they don't even remember!
At least it sounds a lot better than Paul's night in DC.
And Paul has come to a decision about this whole thing, and yes, maybe is partly because he wants Dallas, but it's also because he believes is the right thing to do. And a little bit, because he's curious.
Gosh, this is intriguing!!!

I was ill for a few days, so what better to do then indulge in some JCP! Yay!
I read the initial Turbulence novelletes as they came out so I felt i was missing the overall picture: desperate need of a re-read :)
damn can she write! it's like a comfortable jeans you rediscover in the bottom of your wardrobe and you just think: fuck i missed this!
I did! big time! No one can write like Jordan and I mean that: she is just my favorite author. yep i confess, big time fan here. Her heroes are tremendously realistic, funny, flawed: the perfect mix. and Jordans' writing does the rest.
anyways: Paul & Dalles, ah so much fun you guys. add the Bermuda mystery and I'm sitting on the tip of my chair for number 5! get a move on :)

I read the afterword and saw the thing on racial discrimination. Is it really though? I mean, just because you don't want to fuck a person of another race, why do we have to call this racial? Can't we just leave it up to personal preference? I mean, is it discrimination if I won't fuck a skinny person because I'm afraid if I thrust back too hard or do reverse cowgirl, I might break the guy's pelvis? Cuz I'm no little one (not to be confused with age play).
This one is a bit so so. It's nice to see more about the characters' background. I get that Ms. Price is trying to point out how racism isn't as in your face and sometimes it's sly. But really, do you want to fuck a person who isn't into you because of your skin colour? I'm thinking...no.

This series is growing on me. So far it consists of 7 shorts. Some are free, some are $1.99 on Amazon, which is weird. Anyway no real review here, but if you're into a weird, sci-fi-ish, m/m romance you should give this a try. My other ratings on this series so far were all 3's, but in this one the MC's finally hookup, so.....we'll you know. I liked it :)
Really great writing and I know I need to get to JCP's other books.

Fascinating
Connecting Flight is book 4 in the Turbulence series. This book concentrates on the new relationship of Flight Attendant Dallas Turner and First Officer Paul Cronin. It also brings to light the subtle nuances of racism in our society that I found disturbing, first because they still exist and second and most importantly because it's something I've never picked up on or have been aware of. Am I just that insensitive?
This series is just getting better and better! 5 stars!

Very good short paranormal m/m romance in which we get to see both Paul and Dallas on their home turf after returning from Bermuda.

Seriously, so much to love about this series. My only regret right now is that I didn't have the willpower to make the available parts last longer. Now I'm dying to read what happens next!

I enjoyed getting to see Paul and Dallas in their own environments, as oppose to their autopilots in Bermuda.
November 15, 2012
Finally! Paul and Dallas get it on... I'd pay to know what, exactly, the "autopilots" did during their "time off."

Well, now wasn’t that interesting! The only thing I can find to complain about is the fact that this isn’t in one book… but, don’t worry… I’ll survive! LOL!!! Moving on…
