May 12 New York (AP): A Skyway Airlines flight carrying 375 passengers and 13 crew bound for Rome’s Fiumicino airport from New York’s JFK International Airport has disappeared off the radar overnight according to airline spokespersons. Skyway Flight 12 had left New York at 12:00 midnight Monday evening and was said to be operating normally and in good weather conditions. According to sources on the ground, the plane, a Boeing 767, was piloted by an experienced flight crew who issued no alarm of any kind prior to vanishing somewhere over the Atlantic ocean east of Newfoundland. The 767 is said to be a reliable twin engine carrier that’s been in service since 1982 with an excellent safety record. While a catastrophic mechanical failure is presently being investigated, says an FAA spokesman, a criminal event is not being ruled out. Both sea and air rescue crews have been dispatched from the US, Canada, Newfoundland, and Ireland. This is a developing story. So, thriller fans, it’s time.

[Robin Loves Reading · Rating 4 out of 5]

Flirting With Danger, a Sloane Monroe Mystery novella, delivers another great read by Cheryl Bradshaw. While in New York City with best friend Maddie, Sloane hears a scream in her hotel during the middle of the night. She then walks into a scene where a man is dead and a woman is near the brink of death. In typical Sloane style, she is determined to expose the facts of the situation, refusing to back down, even placing her own life in danger. In short order, she ends up smack in the middle of the very den of her ex, Giovanni Luciano. Sloane learns much more about Giovanni and his nefarious activities than she could ever have imagined. This novella is fast-paced and fits in great with this series.

Love this series

I love this series and was thrilled to have Sloane and Giovanni interacting again. While I really do like Cade, my heart is still with Giovanni. I can just feel how important Sloane is to him despite his inability to be what she needs. In this particular short novella, Sloane ends up accidentally in the middle of a murder plot only to discover Giovanni's family is all tangled up in the situation. His sister, Daniella, enlists Sloane's help despite Giovanni's demands that Sloane be kept out of everything and sent home. Sloane, never one to back down from what she believes to be right, decides to do all she can to make sure the victim's death was not in vain. Even if Sloane does manage to get resolution for the case, the big question is whether or not she really has resolution in her relationship with Giovanni.

Quick Read

All her books are written in an easy to read format. So nice to visit with old characters from past books. Looking forward to her next book.

[Terhi Tatjana · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this little prequel story! It gives a great detailed look of the Luciana family, and even though Sloane and Giovanni aren't together anymore, there are feeling there still. When things go south on a trip to NYC for Sloane and Maddy, they realize there's a "mob vibe" to the whole scenario. The two decide to help Daniela and Giovanni figure things out despite Sloane being ordered to leave the city. True to her stubborn form, she sticks it out and gets to say a proper goodbye to her former lover. Explosions, fire, murder, drugs, lots of sin in this one. Would have made a good full-length story!

Favorite Line ~ "I've always found it fascinating the things a person will say when they think there's a sliver of a chance you'll spare their life."

[Deda Sab · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a companion novella in a series of 12 books! It's number 5.5 and has a spoiler about the relationship between Sloane and an ex boyfriend. I read this book because it was in the author's book set named "Kiss of Death" and I found out it was a series through Goodreads. Why put a companion book that's supposed to be in the middle of a series as a first book in book set that has another stories of a different series. The book was OK, but I hate drug dealers stories, so I wasn't interested.

FLIRTING WITH DANGER. by Cheryl Bradshaw
Up close and danger when you mix in the mob. Old love, rivalry between two families, who is telling the truth. Maddie got tangled in this eposide with Sloane. The hairbrain idea she had of getting the truth, and per usual she won't back down. Though short, it was a fast pace thriller, readers will enjoy.

[Carolyn Wylie-mcelroy · Rating 5 out of 5]

MS. Bradshaw is a wonderful author!!! One her full length books, she always hits them out of the park!!!! I don't usually care for novellas as much, but her's are great!!!! U really get into the characters and the story!!!!! TREMENDOUS!!!!!!! C:o) MCELWOLF

[Beatrice Richter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good, but the end left nowhere

I love the Sloane Monroe series and read books 1-5 and one of the Sins books. The characters are great, I recommend the books highly. This one was also very interesting, but feel something odd with the end, this is the reason I gave 4 stars.

[Marcia-Lee Finocchio · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sloane goes to New York

Sloane and Maddie are in New York for a conference in Maddie’s work. Sloane hear a woman screaming in the middle of the night, when she goes to see if the woman is alright, Sloane finds her dead! Now she needs to find out what happened.

[Mandi Newbold · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a short! (Novella) but still with Sloane Monroe characters! This book follows book number 5. Bradshaw is my favorite mystery author. What I love most about Bradshaw's books, is that they move quickly. Easy to get hooked, and not want to put them down.

[Jenn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cheryl is known for writing great suspenseful reads and this is no different, a spin-off from her Sloane Monroe series. I definitely recommend if you are looking for a good escape from reality. This is a little different cause it is more of a novella than a longer novel. Yet, just as good.

[Phyllis Saunders · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 Stars

5 stars for Flirting with Danger (Sloane Monroe). Oh my gosh, this series just keeps getting better. We finally learn more about Giovanni. Maybe more than Sloane wanted to know.

short, but good

[Rhonda · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this. It was short, but good. Love Sloane!

[Dorothy O'Quinn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Keep it coming

Exciting from start to finish! Sloane is a bit cocky for my taste but I suppose if she wasn't it wouldn't keep the story going.

[Dawn Gee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very informative novella

Sloane is thrust into Giovanni's world again. This time she learns heartbreaking information. A must read to understand their relationship.

Great story@

I love the context of the stories. Great quick reads. Look forward to many more stories, keeps you coming back!

[Heather Russell · Rating 5 out of 5]

definitely too short....I feel like a lot more of the story could have been told

[Patricia Hastings · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!

I like these little back stories with the 5.5 book. Another finish the book in one sitting! Can’t put it down!

[Kerry H · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW!

An innocent trip to New York City and the wrong place at the wrong time puts our heroine in the sites of her ex-boyfriend. Closure, maybe?

[Kimberly Shetzley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Heartbroken

This was a great story, especially for the Flight 12 series. But I am heartbroken over the Giovanni revelations in this one. Cade is great, but I was Team Giovanni...and really miss that dynamic in the rest of the Sloane Monroe series. It was great to have them working together again, and I would love to see him resurface in the future!

[Limary Rodriguez · Rating 4 out of 5]

This short story gives a final end to one of the characters in the story in a very sentimental and strong way. Also, shows how strong the character is and how strong she can really be.

Flight 12 - A Sloane Monroe Thriller by Cheryl Bradshaw.
I received and advance copy of "A Sloane Monroe Thriller" in exchange for an honest review.

Cheryl Bradshaw’s “A Sloane Monroe Thriller” prepares those following Flight 12’s wonderful adventures and her fans for her contribution to add a passenger to Flight 12’s manifest A quick update, for those new to the Flight 12 mystery series, all of “The 12,” are known successful authors. The 12 authors have a history of surprising their fans. They have done it again and as soon as the first passenger was boarding Skyway Flight 12 – Midnight flight to Rome the adventures begin. The twelve authors have made an event out of writing this unusual mystery thriller. The August release of “A Sloane Monroe Thriller” by Cheryl Bradshaw books the fourth passenger on Skyway’s Flight 12 with their boarding pass.

In FLIGHT 12 – “A Sloane Monroe Thriller,” Bradshaw introduces her protagonists, Sloane Monroe and her close friend Madison, Salt Lake City’s Medical Examiner visiting New York, NY. Sloan and Maddie are in New York, NY for Maddie’s lecture at a national coroner’s conference. Maddie talks Sloane into coming to New York for a little rest and relaxation from her job as a Private Investigator.

Bradshaw’s readers immediately experience suspense, spine-tingling, and intense danger as she unveils her mystery thriller’s plot. On the very first page, Bradshaw sets the tone and pace of this gripping mystery placing readers in Sloane and Maddie’s hotel room. Sloane wakes up hearing a woman screaming. Sloane cautiously enters the room next door and finds a dead man and a woman dying on the bathroom floor.

Speeding up the flow of information in“ A Sloane Monroe Thriller,” is Bradshaw's goal She adds intrigue and suspense to the plot. Bradshaw enhances her story with well-developed support characters with great back story information helping readers understand who are the good guys and who are the bad guys.

Bradshaw keeps her story moving forward describing to her readers through Sloane Monroe’s eyes how Sloane investigates to finds answers. This thriller has action and intrigue for readers to enjoy and Bradshaw’s transitions her readers to each new point of the story through thought provoking characters and events. Bradshaw treats her readers with twists and turns forcing Sloane to deal with surprise issues such as finding her former boyfriend Giovanni Luciano and the Luciano Organized Crime Family at the center of a story of murder, betrayal, kidnapping and dealing with drug lords.
The author keeps adding complications creating events affecting Sloane, Giovanni, and his sister Daniela, in their effort to take down Rocco Romano and Romano crime family’s involvement drug trafficking. At this point, Bradshaw’s story moves at a mind boggling speed. Bradshaw pushes her protagonists to find answers; her plot shows Sloane experiencing the build -up of suspense, uncovering betrayal leading to death and destruction.

Readers are treated to action from the thrilling first page with Sloane hitting the ground running, investigating a murder to the action on the last page. Sloane rushing to the gate as Skyway’s midnight Flight 12 to Rome is boarding, looking to identify the passenger issued a boarding pass for Flight 12. You will have to read Bradshaw’s "A Sloane Monroe Thriller" to identify Flight 12's fourth passenger. It is easy for me award a 5 star ranking and recommend Bradshaw's Flight 12 as a must read.

[Lance · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the fourth installment of the Flight 12 series, this one featuring Cheryl Bradshaw' s character Sloane Monroe. For readers who have been following either this series, the Sloane Monroe series of novels or both (like me) be prepared for surprises. If you think you already know who will board the plane, think again. And if you think you know the characters of Maddie, Sloane or Giovanni, think again. Fans of either series should read this novella - after reading the first three so it makes complete sense.

[Kay Pflueger · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the 4th installment in the Flight 12 series. I have read the previous Sloane Monroe books and have loved them all. This novella is no exception. It has all the action and the suspense we have come to expect.. but there are a few surprises thrown in along the way. The suspense surrounding Flight 12 is building with each book and this one kept my attention to the very end. If you are a fan of Sloane, you will definitely enjoy this one. And if you are just meeting her, welcome to the fan club.

The reason I gave this books a two star rating was because it was just too short. I have read several of Cheryl's books and have enjoyed them very much. But nowhere in the description of the book does it say novella, there was one slight reference where it gave the number of pages 103. I just was not expecting such a short story and paid what I would have for a full novel. The story was getting very good, but because of the brevity it left everything hanging

[elvia retcher · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sloan Monroe

Sloan Monroe's character never ceases to amaze me. I liked the relationship her and Giovanni shared although it seems it's finally over between them. I like the mystery with a little romance Cheryl Bradshaw brings to her books

[angela yargus · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh No!

I really didn't know what I was getting into when I started this book...but I am so hooked on Sloane Monroe....there is no hope for my recovery! Well-written, and throws another curve at the reader!
