In Flight

by Heather Hiestand

Very single Margot Smith is set up for disaster or a dream come true when her family's airline hires sexy pilot Wall Phillips. She's an up-and-coming manager who can't date employees, but there's nothing wrong with trying to be friendly, right? Besides, who can help getting involved when the new guy is destroying your best friend's career!

Wall Phillips is consumed by the family secret that brought him to Detroit. He doesn't want a relationship, despite his eyes being continually drawn to the luscious Margot, whom he thinks is a substitute flight attendant. His goal is to do the job right and get back to his personal life, which leaves no time for checking out the coworkers.

A woman who can't date pilots. A man who needs to focus on his brother's precarious situation. Two people who can't keep their thoughts or hands off each other. It's time to decide what they really want from life.

[Tami Winbush · Rating 5 out of 5]

In Flight by Heather Hiestand has you rooting for the main characters from the minute that they meet. Written in such a way to keep you wanting to hear more, In Flight is a must read.
Margot Smith is not just a substitute stewardess for Smith Airlines, she is management and part of the family. When she meets Wall, the newest airline pilot, he just doesn’t put two and two together. Trying very hard to be what his namesake implies Wall wants to be a by-the-book employee from day one. Soon he finds out that it’s hard to put the rule book where it should be when he can’t get his eyes off of Margot.
Margo has made it clear to herself that she would never date an employee of Smith Airlines. Not again, not after being hurt. But for some reason she can’t get that sexy pilot out of her mind. When she finds out that he seems to have it out for her best friend, she steps in. Luckily for her they come to an amiable compromise.
With so many things seemingly in the way of their potential relationship, you sit back wondering for nearly the entire book how it could possibly work out.
If there had been just a bit more information on the other plots in the book, Wall’s brother and Margot’s best friend, I would have given this one a straight A. I fell in love with Margot’s pushy attitude (I see a little of me in there!) and rooted for her to get what she truly wants, love and family! This was a book I couldn’t stop reading and didn’t want to put down. I hope you too will find yourself enthralled!
