Flight Risk

by Maggie Carucci, Gianna Monte (Editor), Kim Cavrak (Illustrator)

Love wasn’t on the itinerary.
Maddie Parker is not here for meet-cutes or midair flirtation—she’s here for a bachelorette weekend, a speech that won’t make her cry, and an aisle seat as far from chaos as possible. What she didn’t plan for? Reed Jones. Charming. Infuriatingly unbothered. And seated directly beside her at 30,000 feet.
When they reconnect on the flight home and agree to help each other with their wedding speeches, what starts as reluctant teamwork turns into long texts, inside jokes, and slow-burning sparks she’s not equipped to handle.
But Maddie doesn’t do messy. She does calendars, contingency plans, and emotional distance. And Reed? He might be the one person who makes her want to throw it all out the emergency exit.
Flight Risk is a flirty, heartfelt romance about letting go, taking chances, and finding the right person through the turbulence.

Maggie Carucci’s debut novel! Romance fans read it! Perfect for cozing up with as a hectic year starts to winds down. I loved spending time with all of the characters and loved that i was able to submerge into the story so easily that i’d be laughing one minute and in the next have a tear in my damn eye.

nice lil story

This was a good little light story

And by light I mean because I mainly read darker books and do “light” to take a break for a few hours here and there there

So with that being said, I loved it and there are some parts that will stick with me because I can def relate and I loved their story and how it ended

Wouldn’t be mad if we got a book 2

Anywho i highly recommend

Really 3.5 stars rounded up. Maddie really reminds me of myself. An overthinker and a definitely a little neurotic. Reed definitely gives the vibe of too good to be true. I guess is faux pas communication balances him out. Overall, Flight Risk was cute and exactly what I was looking for. And Liv is a real one. Get a friend like Liv

Wow!! Never did I think a cute romance would move me to tears on multiple occasions! Maggie’s book is truly a story for the girls who feel like they’re always chosen last. A testament to love being messy, but how waiting for the right one is worth it!💕
