OMG!!!!!!!!!! Noah is hot, sexy, tall, rich and gorgeous. Leia is sexy, beautiful and rich and by chance they crossed each other's path on the Indigo Lounge jet on their erotica getaway. Their chemistry was off the chain. Their BDSM was of the chain. It was a great story and fanfuckintabulous SEX. I had to stop and fan myself for a bit, but could not stay away too long from reading on. She had ghosts and so did he. They were enjoying each other until reality stepped in, in the form of Ashley (bitch ex fiancé) and Warren (old ass man) who only wants Leia for control of her money. Why these two ass wipes team up together to come between Noah and Leia! Oh she's pregnant? She's been broken up with Noah for 2 years, but she's pregnant? Is she human? Show me a pregnancy that last for 2 years in gestation. What a bitch. Kick a man in his nuts when all he wants is to find happiness and so does Leia. I recommend this series. I hate that I have to wait until September to find out the conclusion. Love your book Zara.
Zara did it again. This story is hot, steamy and oh so page turning. Noah is hot and controlling but gentle and sweet. Leia is Broken but is fighting to overcome the damage that has happen to her. Together they are perfect. Until their Bubble they have lived in is threatened by the other people in their lives outside their bubble. This story is to be continued in the next book, to be released in September 2014. Can't wait to find out what happens next.
This story gripped me from beginning to end ! Absolutely can't wait for the next instalment! Loved the characters and bringing their previous life stories into it just gave it an extra spin ! Can't wait to find out what happens next to Noah and Leia xxx
Straight up, I want Noah King to do dirty, dirty things to me. That mouth of his…..GAAAHHHH!!!
From the first chapter I fell in love with him. When he is confronted by his best mates about getting out of his rut he is straight on the defensive but his quick witted responses made me laugh. You obviously find out then that he is battling demons that have been weighing him down for some time and to get him out of his funk the guys have forked out $750K for his ticket on The Indigo Lounge, the A-class adults-only club operating from a luxury super jumbo jet. Seven Night. Seven Highs. An experience not for the faint hearted. After he reads the brief describing a heady combination of extreme sports, unique cultural experiences and uninhibited sex he decided to break free from his mundane routine of making his billions through his company King’s Ransom and indulge in his deep clawing sexual hunger that he normal keeps locked down.
Next we meet Leia Michaels, an anxiety riddled 23 year old with a shaved patch on her head and a pink diamond tongue stud, who is trying to break free of her demons by embracing independence and stepping away from her guardian, Warren. You get the sense something bad has happened to her in her past by the way her instincts are always on high alert and she is always looking for her safest options. When she ventures out of her room to locate a bar for a drink she encounter Noah for the first time and the chemistry between them is INCREDIBLE. There bodies react to each other before their eyes have even locked on and when they finally do lock there is no mistaking what will eventuate between them. The flirty banter starts and before you know it things are heating up.
“Dance with me. he said, abruptly. I don’t dance. Sorry. Neither do I. But if we stand here any longer eyeballing one another, something will catch fire and at thirty thousand feet, I don’t think that’s a very good idea.”
Within hours of meeting they have agreed to spend the next seven days together exclusively. Noah can read Leia like a book and quickly realises her ghosts are always present and haunting her. He knows someone broke her and he is shocked at his overpowering need to protect her after just meeting her. She has walls around her and he recognises immediately that he wants to break them down and if he can’t break them down then he wants to drown her in pleasure so she can momentarily forget about them and know nothing but him. What he discovers while trying to drown her in pleasure is that she likes the same thing he does……..pain while chasing pleasure and rough, dirty, filthy f@#$%^g.
“I don’t want to wonder about this when I fuck you. I want to see your eyes fill with pleasure and not the shadows I can see in them now. That may be asking too much too soon, but I warned you I was a greedy bastard. I want to make you scream in pleasure that’ll make you forget why you’re broken. If only for a while. Because for the next seven days, you’re mine. And I absolutely refuse to share you with ghosts.”
Through the jet setting and extreme experiences the two of them grow closer and the sex just gets hotter and hotter. Leia starts to learn of Noahs’onsters, mainly his mind fuck of an ex Ashley, and in return she starts divulging more information about her horrendous past. At this point I started guessing what happened to Leia and who exactly was involved. When she finally unveils her past to Noah, I was shocked. I had a suspicion but it was worst than what I originally guessed. Soon after her reveal their time on the Indigo Lounge comes to an end and their little love bubble is not just popped but completely blown up and guess what………that’s right MASSIVE F@#$%^G CLIFFHANGER. Damn you Zara Cox!!! (Not really….I secretly love a good cliffy, but I think I’m in the minority on that one ;) )
All in all, I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I loved Noah’s sweet side and how sensitive he was towards Leia throughout the book when she needed it but at the same time I loved his pure Alphaness. He has a deliciously dirty mouth and a body made for sin and he knows exactly how to use it. I loved Leia and how she is trying to overcome her demons and embrace her sexuality and independence. I am so excited for Soar, which I think is due sometime around Sept 2014, to see what the hell is going to happen because the cliffy is a doozy.
“When we fuck, I will pull your hair and grab your throat. I’ll dig my fingers into you and use my teeth. And that will be for starters. What comes after that will depend on how close you are to screaming. Because I won’t stop until I make you scream. And even then, Leia, I may not stop. I may be so fucking lost in your hypnotic beauty that I may go too far. If you think you can’t handle that, or your not ready for that tell me now. Don’t give me hope. Don’t take me to the edge and leave me there. I’ve had that happen before. It fucking tore me apart. So think very, very carefully before any more clothes come off.”

My Thoughts
To be honest, i wasn't sure how i was going to like the continuation of this series since it's all new characters and we get none of Savage and Bethany, but you quickly see what the link is to them and that made me quickly forget my apprehension. Just to tee it up, we had met a bunch of Zach's friends in the last installment, Gabriel, Damon and Mike and they are the common bond with the stories - as we are introduced to Noah.
This story is different from the first bit of the series in the sense that both leading characters are established in their own sense, they are financially sound but both have significant ghosts from their pasts that haunt them daily and make relationships really hard. It takes a majority of the book to learn about the ghosts that haunt Leia, while Noah's are a bit more obvious.
Leia isn't quite as naive as we're used to - she's had a rough few years, her father died a few years back and he was the most important person in her life. She also had to deal with the death of her mother, after she killed her stepfather. We don't learn the details until pretty far into the story, but we can see why her walls are up. The odd man out in this though is Warren, a man that we know almost nothing about aside from the fact that he considers Leia to be precious to him, yet she's not in a relationship with him. At least not at first pass. I think that it's safe to say that he's going to cause problems.
This first installment of their story takes us on their trip - one that was forced upon Noah by his friends however, and we see a passion and heat grow quickly between these 2 and almost consume them. They quickly become addicted to one another but the question that we continue to ask is whether this will survive past the 7 days, and if their ghosts will make it impossible to move on.
What our author Zara Cox does well is continue to show us a great dom side to our men - Noah is clearly one who likes control and we see that while he's not into a traditional D/s relationship, he's got his own playroom full of toys and knows how to use them.
It's when their trip is cut short because of the reappearance of folks that we didn't think could come back that all bets are off. Will their relationship last? Will everyone be safe, and will they stay together. Noah's past - an ex named Ashley is among the tussle, and what she reveals is something that all makes us say HUH??!? I honestly question the timing and i think that we're meant to.
I can't wait for the next installment, and it says that it's due out September 2014 which is right around the corner - so hopefully my wait won't be too long. Enjoy!
This is book 3 in this Indigo lounge series the 1st book is HIGH, the 2nd book is HIGHER these books should be read in order to get the full effect of the series.
Get your screaming towel out everyone not that you will need them but you may with this top notch journey through the clouds.
Noah-top notch hotness, businessman and sexy
Leia-pretty, outspoken, scared and damaged
Leia is a smart and quirky in her own way type of woman. She has ghosts in her past and her present that she can’t let go with no matter how hard she tries. The one thing that she wants is to find an outlet to just let go of her inhibitions if not for a short time. Thinking of nothing and no one to let the fears and ghosts stay at bay. Can she find all this for seven days and seven nights of pleasure 30,000 feet above the sky? Can she finally let go enough to just have the fun she so richly seeks and maybe pick up a guy along the way that can help keep everything at bay and give a bunch of pleasure along the way? And what happens at the end of seven days and seven nights does she say goodbye or say hello to a future of the unknown?
Noah is a hot businessman that has been damaged by a woman from his past. It has taken his friend’s s much time and so effort to finally give him the one thing he can’t say NO too. A ticket for seven days, seven nights 30,000 feet above. Noah knows that he needs this time to recharge and let go for all it is worth but can he find the sexual outlet he so richly wants? Can he find a woman that will obey his every wish? Can he let go enough to let someone into his tortured soul? Can he find himself in the process?
Leia and Noah’s journey 30,000 feet above gives a new meaning to the phrase “mile high club”. When these two come together it is explosive, sexual combustion that you have to stand back for or get burnt. The ravenous that these two have for one another is beyond words that neither can describe. They both can’t get enough of one another but to what cost? Is this just for 30,000 feet or can it turn out to be more after the plane has landed and disembarked? Please come take this journey with all its glory to read about trust, honor, love, combustion, jealousy, lightening and so much more. Do these two get their happily ever after together or apart?
To the author this is the first book that I have read by you and what a fabulous read it is. You surely gave new meaning “the mile high club” lol I enjoyed the way that you took two battered souls and brought them together to push each other limits to their breaking points. The sex is way hot too.
Amazing Read
Please stay tuned for my next review of Soar the next book in this series.
"I'm Noah King. Is there anything else I need to know about you before we get to the eating alive part? I'm especially interested in any steps I can skip because I have a feeling I'll need to get there quickly."
Hot dignity damn! Zara Cox has thrown me into the lions once again. I am loving this series hard. The first two books were a duet that was the story of Zachary Savage, the owner of the Indigo Lounge. This one is also part of duet and is about another set of characters. Noah and Leia are both equally intense characters. I was hooked right from the beginning. This was one, scorching hot, passionate, and wildly intense ride!
"You're mine now, Leia. I'm never letting you go. Whatever ghosts or demons I need to slay in order to keep you I will slay. If you need to slay them on your own, I'll be right beside you. But know that from this moment on, you own me. And I fucking own you."
I always tend to put my Sherlock Holmes hat on, when it comes to secret pasts and trying to figure out the possible twists. I figured out the gist of what happened to both Leia and Noah in their pasts, but the details that eventually surface was still successfully able to shock me. Since I read the first two books, I was well aware there would be another off the charts cliff hanger at the end. There was no proper amount of pep talking I could do that was sufficient enough to prepare me for this crazy cliff hanger. My jaw dropped, followed by a shit load of WHAT THE MOTHER EFF'S! But I still loved it and it has successfully turned me into a desperate mess until the next book comes out. I heart you hard Zara Cox...I will be your willing cliff-hanger victim any day! Loved the characters and the enthralling storyline. It was nice to actually see some more of the actually "Highs" on the Indigo Lounge plane, since in the first book the trip was cut short. I will be anxiously awaiting the follow up book to this series!
"With each second that passed, Noah was further drawn into the certainty that she was made for him. The one who could pull him from the dark spiral of cloying hunger."
Noah King accepted an Indigo Lounge trip from his best friends when they bought it for him as a sort of intervention to get him out of his two year funk. He was hurt badly by a manipulative ex and has closed himself off as a result. Leia Michaels has been putting herself back together after a serious tragedy five years ago. She takes a trip on Indigo Lounge in a bold effort to move forward in her life. Leia and Noah have an instant physical attraction and despite realizing that they are probably not good for one another, they find that sexually they are a perfect match. They start getting closer and closer until real life starts to seep into their fantasy vacation.
Leia is a smart and creative woman and is an easy character to cheer on. It is easy to sympathize with her, but once I realized a little more what was going on in her life I was really hoping that she would find her voice and find the strength to claim her own life and move forward. Noah is a little tougher. He is very hot, but also very demanding. I think once we get to see a little more behind his facade it was easier to connect with him and really see why he was a great fit for Leia. Watching the two of them open up to one another was a pretty great experience. It was clear that both had events in their lives that they needed to move forward from but both had been stuck. Their sexual connection was off the charts, and it was also wonderful that both characters found such a compatible partner in pleasure.
The baggage or "ghosts" in both of their lives aren't small and when they decide to interfere, boy do they! We are left in a place where it is impossible to not go and immediately pick up the next in the series. Which I'm doing right now!
*An ARC was provided in exchange for an honest review
I did not think that Zara could out do Zach's story but was I wrong. Noah and Leia have one Hell of a story. Noah is rich beyond word, lives life to the fullest but he has an appetite for the harder sex were pain brings pleasure. Not for everyone and his Ex Ashley played on that and the out come was not good. Leia has everything she wants at her fingertips, she grew up with a loving father an over active over bearing mother, Leia's life was her father till an accident took his life. Her mother remarried and then her life was turned upside down with more tragedy. Leia has her life planned out for her but not by her. She is iust following what she thinks of right for her by a trusted family friend. Leia has decisions to make and so she joins the Indigo Lounge flight never expecting to meet Noah. Noah's friends are tired of their friend wasting away so they take matters into their own hands and book his flight on the same flight as Leia. To him he is pleasing them and going to play but he never thought he would find a woman that was made for him and not think he is a freak for enjoying the sexual experiences he has to have and that is Total control in the bedroom that includes pain with pleasure. Noah and Leia take a journey of discovery each other but when their past comes roaring back in the present can what they found in each other be enough and move forward. This book is WOW. You get Hot sex but you get two people that just want to find that person that excerpts them as they are, baggage and all. I recommend this story can't want for the next book.
Zara Cox did an absolute amazing job with this book - I loved it! A great follow on to High and Higher, in Spiral, we follow the story of a new h (Leia) and H (Noah) as they experience a week long trip on the Indigo Lounge. From the beginning, we are made aware that both the h and H have pretty big issues in both of their lives, but we don't really find out what all that entails until close to the end of the book. This is fine in the book progression because we see them as they truly are with each other on the IL. The sex is scorching and the frequency is quite amazing - sometimes too much sex in a book is a turn off for me (shocking, I know!), but it completely works with the characters and storyline in Spiral. The only problem I have with this book is the editing, which was terrible. There are so many typos and tense issues throughout the entire book that it is almost distracting.
Besides the editing, I thought the book was amazing! I can't wait to get my hands on the fourth book!
This was a really well written book super easy to devour - deeply flawed vulnerable characters opening themselves up for a week of sex - sex - and more sex! Each are independently wealthy; Noah is a very possessive alpha-male who likes sex with a tad bit of pleasure and pain (not full blown BDSM) who got burned in a past relationship (details about latter slowly unfold and create the suspense of the novel.) Leia had a very traumatic childhood (also suspense of novel) but is looking to test boundaries and break out of her self-imposed shell. A roller coaster of emotions unfold and lead up to the end where their return to reality brings with it their past colliding with their present. Only time will tell if they are strong enough to stay together.
I'd give you a 4.5 if I could but it will not let me. the overall story was off the charts HOT and SEXY!!!! I definitely want more of Mr King. I can't wait to read Soar!!!! although can't stand the Bitch nor Warren. hope they get their just rewards.
The reason I gave this a 4.5 is cause of two reasons. 1. I'm over 50% and you were still dragging out their baggage. Hell at the end we were barley finding out Noah's, and I understand that there is going to be a book 2. 2. the grammar errors. I beta read for a couple authors and whoever you had didn't do a good job. Ever need a beta reader I'd gladly help out.
BREATHE BREATHE BREATHE OMG..what a fantastic story. Love it love it love it love it love it Could not put this down ALL DAY. sometimes forgetting to breathe. Very much enjoyed reading HIGH and HIGHER..BUT this is even better. Don't mind I have to wait till book two SOAR as it gives me time to calm down ha ha. Noah is a powerhouse of a man pure alpha male. Leia so needs him I am glad they found each other Warren and Ashley. .well I would shoot the two of them and I am not a violent woman. This such a HOT HOT story loved every hot dirty sexy bit of it :-)
holy sex gods batman ! what a book i loved the first to indigo lounge book and this is another noah and leias story is a hot read they both have there demons but together they have a chemistry and a raw need for one another that can help slay them. it ends on a mahoosive cliffy which im kinda confused about as bitch bag ashley hasnt seen him for 2 years so im guessing its a frozen jobby thing read the book an you will know what im on about. roll on september so i can find out what happens
I didn't think that this series could get any better but the twists and turns and baggage of both Noah and Leia are mesmerizing. Warren is slimy and Ashley is trash (how is she pregnant 2 year's later?) I can't wait to find out in Soar. I have the date set as a reminder because the second a Zara Cox book comes out, I put down everything else.
Loved it...it was a very HOT read. You will love it. Great characters...both w/ pasts.. Cant wait for the next one. Zara Cox is an amazing author. She knows how to write a good story line with lots of sexiness!
Interesting story, lots of hot, wild sex. Warren and Ashley are certainly a piece of work and not sure what they are up to, but you know it isn't good. Hate that it is a cliffhanger, but might be tempted to keep reading the series.
Loved Noah, straight to the point no holds barred. I believe Leia will hold strong yet I'm not convinced that Ashley or Warren are genuine, I can see yet more struggles ahead. Serious cliffhanger ggrrrrr :-( A good read but I need to know more
Great job on another Awesome book. I loved the first 2 book in these series and this book definitely did not disappoint. The story between these two characters were off the charts hot. Can't wait for the next book in the series.
Zara you did it again, what a fantastic book, loved every page of this book, only problem is the cliffhanger you left, I need the next book to find out what happens, haha.
