Learning to Fly
Cassandra Claeys is a bohemian artist with a passion for shoes and architecture. Her past wasn't pretty and she's got the scars to prove it, but she's determined to live and love again and she's hoping her newest client is just the man for the job. But the crazed serial killer that once held her captive escapes from prison, willing to kill again to make his maniacal fantasies come true.
Architect Kyle McCloud hires the fiery redhead to illustrate his latest project, never dreaming that she would bring passion and danger to his door. Cassie is easily spooked and as flighty as one of his injured birds, but he's willing to work overtime to make her soar for him alone.

I was given an ARC of 'Learning to Fly' from Melissa Snark, in exchange for an honest review.
WOWZER, I was hooked from the very start of this suspense filled book, glued to the page from the first chapter until the very last. I will say Melissa covered a very sensitive topic with gentleness & care, as some of the scenes are traumatic. I loved the growth made by our lead Cassie, especially when her dark past comes after her again. I will say our leading man Kyle was gentle when needed, hard when needed & a knight when needed, he made Cassie feel safe enough to start living again.
I'm hoping there is more to this book as I want to know what happens with Kyles brother... I was literally gripping the seat of my chair in parts of this book.

Soaring and flying with Love
When I agreed to read and review this book I had no clue what it was about. The title learning to Fly might suggest flying a plane or something but I forgot about the best type of flying. That’s the one where you fly and soar thru the heaven with Love. This book truly captures that by the end of the book. Well written and very enjoyable to read. High praises to the author. Looking forward to reading more work by this author. I was given a free copy of this book for an honest review.

This was a very sweet romance. I liked how the author set up a connection between Kyle and Cassandra before they met in person. It made it easier to believe their fast paced romance. The story moved at a good pace and I never found myself getting bored. There are a few formatting issues, but overall this is a great book and I highly recommend it.

Awe!! Just Awe!!
Loved this sweet story! The plot was quickly broached and on we went! It was fun to watch Cassie shed her fears and give into taking chances. Loved the housekeeper!! What a sassy riot! This story had suspense and romance and true heart placed into it. Now we need more because there was a certain twin that is begging for his story to be told! Ms. Snark certainly paints a vivid picture no matter who's tale she's telling ♡

Very enjoyable
Really loved the book. The book spends more time on Cassie getting over her fears with an EXTREMELY patient Kyle then it does on her old kidnapper finding her. Has a very wonderful ending. Would love it if the author wrote another book about Kieran (Kyle’s twin)!

Cassie is on the run from a serial killer who escaped from prison after kidnapping and torturing her several years ago. She runs straight to Kyle McCloud, who is supposed to be her new employer. He knows immediately that something dark haunts her and he's determined to help her. Lucky for them both, Kyle's twin brother Kieran is a former Army ranger and now owns a security firm. With the McCloud brothers working to keep her safe, she may get out of this alive.
I really enjoyed the motherly housekeeper, Shelly Arthur. She and her husband Henry, the groundskeeper, took care of Kyle and Kieran after their parents died tragically when the boys were only sixteen. Now, as grown men, their interaction with Shelly is teasing and loving while still respectful. She is outspoken and demanding as only a mother would be. I laughed out loud at her manipulation when presenting Kyle with forms to sign, putting him on a waiting list with an exclusive nanny agency, even though he has no current prospects for a wife and no plans for children in the near future. Yet, he still signs the papers.
The hawk rescue was an interesting part of the story. Early in the story, Kyle is called out to save an injured hawk. He nurses it back to health until it is ready to be set free to fly again. His actions with the hawk is symbolic of his relationship with Cassie. He is also helping to save her, while drawing her out of her shell and helping her to trust again so she is free from the past and ready to give love as well as accept it. As successful as he is with the hawks, it gives the reader hope that he is the right man for the job with Cassie as well.
"Learning to Fly" is very well written with a solid story line and like-able characters. There are a couple of times, it alludes to a woman in Kieran's life, hopefully setting up the next installment.

WOW, what a great read. Melissa Snarks had done an amazing job with this story. I just love strong women and I found the character Cassie not only stronger then she gave her self credit for but so brave.
Cassie had this awful past. A past that no person should ever have to go thru. She had this crazy serial killer that was obsessed with her. She was more then a victim, she was a survivor! I love the strength that I saw in Cassie. Though she it was plain to see that she had not only physical but emotional scars, it was also plain to see that she was fighting to get her life back. Now Cassie was faced with the fact that this awful serial killer had escaped from prison and was coming after her. Should she turn to the FBI or should she just run?
Cassie had excepted a job as a illustrator on an architectural project for this sexy man by the name of Kyle McCleod. I always love how the authors describe the male voice in books. Anyway, Cassie had fell in love with Kyle’s voice before she ever met him. Imagine what it would be when she sees him for the first time.
Kyle could tell there was something Cassie was hiding when he met her. She acted like a scared animal. This made him angry. He wanted to hurt whoever caused this fear he saw in Cassie. He knew he had feelings for her, but also knew that if he moved to fast he would scare her. Question is will Cassie ever be able to be in a relationship after all that has happen to her? Can Cassie truly heal?
I received this book for an honest review and I have to say I enjoyed each and every bit of the story. It is a story you will not want to put down.

I received this book for an honest review.
Cassandra is excited about a new job she has coming up until she gets a phone call that shakes her to the core. The deranged serial killer that she helped put in jail has escaped and is most likely heading her way. Running scared she decides to show up early at the new job and hope her new boss doesn't mind. Kyle is surprised when the fiery red head shows up at his house a week early to illustrate the latest project he's working on but his protective instinct kicks in and though he knows she's hiding something from him he welcomes her in and lets her start early while trying to figure out what it is she's running from. With his smooth voice and sexy all male demeanor Kyle is the first guy to catch Cassie's eye but will her past stand in the way of her future?
There was more to this book than meets the eye. I wasn't sure what to expect going into it but it the connection between the two lead characters was deeper than I expected I thought it would be more of a protector/protectee relationship and though that was there it was more. They connected over various things between their love of their "art", the tragedy of their pasts, and they're desire for each other. It was definitely a tale of that sometimes all you need is the right support to lift you up. The story was well written and fast paced, kept you interested so that you didn't want to put it down. Add in a sexy mysterious twin for Kyle who will hopefully get his own book and it's definitely worth a one click! This is a standalone novel with no cliffhanger.

I really enjoyed Learning to Fly. The first thing that made me want to read this book was the title. It's such a wonderful title for this story. I also loved the side story about the bird and it's implied message that went perfectly with everything that Cassie goes through. It is a fairly quick read and definitely held my interest the entire story. The chemistry between Cassie and Kyle was exactly what I look for in a romance novel and their strong but loving spirits really suited each other quite well. I liked that the suspense was not over done or over dramatic but always there, quietly foreboding in the background. I liked that the quick confrontation was towards the end of the book and that we got a quick resolve and a wonderful HEA ending. Although this is a standalone read I would absolutely love to have a spin-off novel featuring Kyle's hunky dangerous twin brother Kieran. Some of the words used in some of the sexier scenes were my only qualms with the story. Everyone has those certain words that irk them and make them stumble on them and unfortunately there were at least three of my least favorites used here. Because I know your probably wondering what words I mean I will list the ones that come to mind... suckled, lapped, and weeping folds. Other than that though I did enjoy the scenes and the overall story was one that I would definitely recommend to fans of steamy romantic suspense.

This is the romantic suspense filled story of Cassie and Kyle.
Cassie is in danger...again. She once escaped a stalker, one who had targeted several females who looked just like her. But he's just escaped jail and Cassie is not about to sit around and wait for him to get to her again. Serendipitously she just received a job offer to work for a month on an architectural job. The answer to her prayers.
Kyle is the said architect, working on a renovation project. When the beautiful and clearly worried Cassie turns up early to work on the project he is intrigued to say the least. But red flags are raised when she is clearly hiding something from him. And what's the use of having a brother with a security company if you can't have him do a little digging.
When the reality of what Cassie has suffered through and is facing yet again sinks in, Kyle is sucked into the drama and h=is devoted to ensuring Cassies safety.
Great suspense with heart lurching moments and sizzling romance and moments of sweetness. The banter between Kyle, his brother and their motherly housekeeper if very familial and tender. Great engaging and sympathetic characters and believable plot. Well paced and no extraneous plot gimmicks.

I’ll be honest and say that Learning to Fly really did surprise me. I didn’t expect to like this book as much as I did. Part of that is due to the fact that I didn’t care for the cover. After reading this book I can say that the cover did not to this story justice. That being said, I can’t come up with anything else about this book that I DIDN’T like.
Ms. Snark did a very good job when she wrote her characters, Cassie and Kyle. The relationship between between these two was very sweet and a joy to read. But who doesn’t love a man with a sexy Irish brogue?
Through the entire book I enjoyed watching the relationship between these two play out, while at the same time, waiting to see what was going to happen with Simon Lynch. I was not disappointed in how Ms. Snark had this story play out. This is definitely one of those times where you can not judge a book by it’s cover. The content is totally worth it and I look forward to reading more by Ms. Snark.

When Cassandra gets a call from the FBI she makes one hasty decision. not even packing clothes, just her current project and purse and she leaves everything behind. showing up a week early, she's not sure if she'll be welcomed by Kyle, her new client. Luckily they let her stay and don't ask too many questions. At first that is. when they do meet, there is instant attraction and her life turns into a roller-coaster ride of emotions.
she can't help but act jittery and she knows she has to tell him why she came sooner. his brother already checked her out and he already knows what happened to her.
Kyle doesn't know the details and leaves that up to Cassandra to tell. for her it feels like a weight is lifted of her shoulders. with the bad guy still on the loose they tighten security but will it be enough?
a fast paced, well written, whirlwind romance with a HEA. a must have if you like a bit of action and drama but most of all a nice love story!

Cassie loves shoes and architecture. Kyle loves his privacy, big birds and designing amazing buildings. In Learning to Fly, the two come together in what could be a swan dive to disaster or soaring to an eagle's aerie of joy.
Cassie has a secret which pushes her to head to her new employers home a week sooner than she is expected. Unwilling to tell hime of her plight, she hopes the crazed killer will not find her there.
In an exciting series of twists, turns, and very steamy bedroom scenes, Kyle discovers her secrets and they discover each other.
The author, Melissa Snark, has a way of telling a story that puts you right in it. You can see the characters, feel their emotions as well as hearing the dialog. The setting, too is as if you are there.
This is the first book I read by Ms. Snark, but it will not be the last.

Learning To Fly by Melissa Snark was a breath taking erotic suspense romance. Reading the story was a breeze. I devoured the story in one sitting. This story was well-written and a good escape read. This story was just awesome!
She woven a wonderous tale about a strong courageous woman, Cassandra "Cassie". She never gave up after being brutally abducted by a serial killer. Her past came calling and she took a runner. Will she be able to escape or find happiness or love?
I gave this book 5 stars! You'll just have to read the novel to find out what happens next, and the HEA. I highly recommend this author. I would buy books from her in the future. I received this story for free in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first romance I've read by Author Melissa Snark and I admit I'm usually not one for it but decided to venture off my familiar path of paranormal romance and fantasy and let me just say that I am so glad I did! I loved it! It grabs your attention and keeps it throughout the entire book! An action packed and beautiful romance story with exceptionally built characters, a good story line and many twists and turns. Without giving away too many spoilers, Cassie, a woman with a traumatic background runs to her next job meeting her boss Kyle but can he slay the nightmares of her past and keep them all alive? An excellent book!

I received a complimentary copy of this book for an honest review by author Melissa Snark.
Cassandra Claeys is trying to get her life together after a harrowing experience of a madman. She is hired by Kyle McCloud who is beginning to see her as more then in a professional area. He wants to try and help her break free of the past she suffered.
I loved the character of Cassandra and how she interacted with the other characters. The author wrote a very smooth flowing story from start to finish.
This is for mature romance book readers and 1 of the better romance book I have read in a while.

This was amazing and a breath of fresh air from what I have been reading. It was different, exciting, and heartwarming. Cassie has been through hell for the last 5 years. She hasn't been able to trust men until she met Kyle. He is a good hearted man and gorgeous. He knew instantly something was wrong with Cassie the moment they met in person, but he didn't push. He waited until she came to him to talk about what happened to her when she was ready. He promised to protect her no matter what. There needs to be more men like him in this world. Finally after the years of hell she has been through Cassie has found her peace in Kyle. I must admit I can't stop smiling since I read this. I loved it.

Learning to Fly is a beautifully crafted romance about a woman learning to love and trust again after she’s been hurt by a madman. When he escapes from prison, she takes refuge with the one man who can break down all her defenses. I love this book! The symbolic usage is inspiring. The characters are realistic and enduring, a couple you won’t easily forget. Suspense and tension rose steadily along with the romance, and I couldn’t stop reading. I was captivated by Cassie and Kyle’s story and I highly recommend this novel!

Fleeing from an old enemy, Cassandra Claeys runs into the arms of her sexy client, Kyle McCleod.
This book is well written and edited, (something you don't see often these days). The characters were well rounded, including secondary. They developed satisfactorily along with the story.
With a little more back story and antagonist involvement I could have easily given it five stars. However, it was a great, light, feel good story. I look forward to the sequel I'm sure will follow - I hope will follow. Please, Melissa Snark, don't leave me hanging about the brother.

She runs to her new job hoping to escape. Kyle her boss falls for Cassie. Will his patients with Cassie pay off? will Cassie be found by her crazy stalker? This is a must read at 5 stars.

I really loved Learning To Fly. I'll admit, the story didn't grab me at first, but I'm very glad I stuck it out and finished. This book has great character development and is well-written. I also appreciate that the book isn't only about sex. I enjoy erotic novels, but I tire of books that are all sex. I liked that Kyle was understanding and didn't force Cassie into anything. I recently read a book where that happened and hated it. Great job with this story, Melissa! Learning To Fly is definitely worth the read!

I didn't realized at first that this wasn't a PNR, but I still enjoyed it all the same. I definitely enjoy a strong heroine and Cassie didn't disappoint not only was she strong but brave as well if only she would cut herself some slack. Cassie is carrying around lot of emotional and physical baggage but, didn't stop her from trying to fight to get here life back I love that. This story is filled with so much action, and spin-tingling romance it will whole your attention from beginning to the end. So if your into suspenseful romance I totally recommend that you read this book.

I loved Learning to Fly. I was fortunate to get a review copy as this is a new author for me, and this won't be the last book of hers I will read if this story is an indication. There was lots of suspense as well as romance. I loved the way Kyle was with Cassandra, especially how patient he was knowing who was out to get her. The housekeeper is hilarious as she mother's Kyle and his brother. will be reading this one again.

Kyle compassionate man who is determined to protect her from whatever she running from. Definitely a must read story full of sexy moments and dramatic moments. Can't wait to read more from this wonderful author.

Red is running and run she does to the gentle, calm Kyle. Can this artist trust him? The story has a great speed to it, not fast and definitely not slow. I loved the ending! The housekeeper, playing a important role, is a endearing character! I am pleasently surprised by Kieran and can not wait to read his story! Does the madman steal Red? Awesome story!

This is a must read for anyone who likes a little suspense with their romance. I couldn't stop reading it!
The story flows at a perfect pace which keeps your interest all the way through, and at no point did I find myself wanting to skip over any part because of excessive description.
The characters were believable and well written. You could picture each one in your mind.
