Nikki Burgess has survived a terrible marriage and an even worse divorce. And she's just about given up hope of ever finding love and happiness. But when her ex-husband suddenly dies, she gets custody of her kids again and a chance to start over and do it right.
Nikki Burgess has survived a terrible marriage and an even worse divorce. And she's just about given up hope of ever finding love and happiness. But when her ex-husband suddenly dies, she gets custody of her kids again and a chance to start over and do it right.
Dixie McPherson, on the other hand, has had way too much love. She has eleven tennis bracelets, dozens of trinkets, piles of sexy lingerie and a tarnished reputation when all she ever wanted was true love, a partner and a family.
Carlisle Bartlett is loyal, generous, kindhearted and the funniest guy slinging drinks in the back of an airplane. But he has an ugly little secret. The only kind of love he's used to comes with bruises.
They are three people who could seriously use a break. A fresh start. A shot at success and a chance to shine. Maybe a little romance -- the kind that sticks. And some adventure wouldn't hurt. So when they're presented with the challenge of joining a team starting a new airline in Las Vegas, they don't hesitate. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, these three friends are going in search of their own blue skies.

Loved this story. It sat in my TBR pile far too long! A few poor reviews had deterred me. But I read in a few sittings. I love stories where women break that glass ceiling. Also Robyn Carr had great insight to the air transport business. Loved it.

I think I do this every single time, I put a Robyn Carr title on as an in between books sort of book and I end up absolutely enthralled. That’s exactly what happened with Blue Skies, I laughed I had a little trembly lip going and while the book was jam packed with stereotypes, littered with cliches and more than a bit predictable it was all quite comforting and enjoyable.
Set in the aviation industry not long after 9/11 the book is definitely feeling a little bit dated, it’s rammed with aviation speak which some readers might find a bit off putting, but was familiar to me, I fell in love with these characters and I was getting excited to go start work with them 😂 I love when you get so carried away that you forget yourself for a time. Isn’t time a peculiar thing, there were so many times I rolled my eyes at certain stereotypes and things the characters said yet so very much that felt nostalgic.
Zero complaints. Currently included with audible 🎧

I picked up Blue Skies at the Phoenix airport, which is entirely appropriate, since this is a book about the airline industry. And it's a valentine to Las Vegas, pre the economic collapse and houses going underwater. Three main characters, a female pilot, a flight attendant who reminded me of characters from Rona Jaffe novels, like The Best of Everything, and their gay friend (yes, he was that much of a stereotype). A major plot point -- and no, I don't think I need to include spoilers since this book was originally published in 2004! -- was the psychological aftermath of 9/11.
All through the book I had this sort of dated feeling, which I couldn't quite understand, until I figured out the book was a reprint. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with publishers reprinting books but usually there's a more obvious sign, or I already know. Give me Nora Roberts anytime -- all of her new books bear the NR seal, showing you the book is new. There was even a character in this one, Riordan -- isn't that a family in the Virgin River series?
Whatever. It was OK but dated and it was not so much three HFNs probably leading to HEAs being the focus, as the understanding, as you close the book, that the birth of a new airline was the true story. If that interests you, this book is insightful and feels accurate. Takes a lot of bravery and cojones to start an airline and that definitely comes through.
p.s. As someone who buys a lot of 2nd hand books, because I like reading the earlier works of authors I like, it sort of sticks in my craw when I see books by Macomber or Carr or whomever selling for between $7.99 to $15.99 *yes, really, trade paperback* years later with new covers and such ... but there you go. It may not bother others. I'm more impressed with authors like say a Joan Wolf who is re-releasing her older books digitally for $4 each -- that seems more reasonable -- but as always, I can decide to buy or not buy.

This was a different book than I expected. It sounds like it's supposed to be a romance, and there are elements of that, but it's not really. It's a story of three friends and the airline industry. All of them have had problems in relationships, generally because of their own internal issues. Is it low self-esteem that keeps people in bad relationships or relationship patterns? They each make strides in overcoming their pasts, however. Their new starts come in part from the start-up of a new aviation business. You'll know a lot more about airlines after reading this book.
Might be a little slow for some people, but I kept reading wanting to see how everything was going to turn out. Some bits of humor throughout that made me actually laugh out loud ("Michael Michael bobichael").
It reminds me strongly of something I read once, I think it was by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, about the start-up of a computer company at about the same time as Apple was coming into its own. I'll have to see if I can find the title. If you liked this one, you would probably like that one, too, though it's set in an earlier time period: Hot Shot. Ha! I love when I actually remember things.

Better than a four but not quite a five. Great characters and an engaging story. The writing is emotionally charged with plenty of heart. This romance even has a dash of suspense. Glad I found this one. Happy reading/listening!

One of the things that I love about Romance is that I almost always learn something new. I especially love when authors truly write what they know, because I often find out something that I never would have known otherwise. That was definitely true of this story, which follows the birth of a new airline, something Robyn Carr’s family has had a lot of personal experience with.
A tad more Women’s Fiction than true Romance, Blue Skies tells the story of Nikki Burgess, an accomplished commercial airline pilot who has finally been given an opportunity to grow with a new airline in a very senior position. In addition to dealing with the trials of being a new leader, Nikki is also dealing with the death of her ex-husband and her kids reintroduction in her life. Like many stories that deal with the glass ceiling, this story didn’t shy away from the true challenges that professional women often encounter, even in the best of circumstances. I loved that Carr didn’t shy away from giving Nikki the opportunity she did, nor did she shy away from the ugly side of women working in male-dominated fields. While keeping the story true, she also showed how strong women can truly be–one of my favorite things about Romance.
The storyline that stole the show, however, was Dixie. She’s a dear friend of Nikki’s who’s been around the block one too many times with the pilots she works alongside as a flight attendant. She ends up leaving the company where she has worked so many years on bad terms, only to be given an opportunity so much better than she could have ever imagined. She was by far my favorite character in the book and one that I couldn’t wait to find out what happened by the end of the book.
This book was excellent. Probably one of my top picks for the year, actually. The writing was excellent, the story was well formed and clearly had a ton of institutional knowledge/experience, and the characters kept you reading until the very last page. I wasn’t a huge fan of how Nikki’s side of the story ended, but it wasn’t bad. Dixie’s was excellent, though.

Well, it’s a Robyn Carr book so you know you will enjoy it.
You get to be part of a great 3 person friendship, have some good laughs and learn what the airline industry was like after 911.
I still haven’t decided who I like better, Nikki, Dixie or Carlisle. You can read and decide for yourself.

RATING: 3.5 STARS
(Review Not on Blog)
Listened to on Audio
Nikki's former husband dies, and now she has custody of her children. She decides to take a job for a new airline in Las Vegas. Will the men around her accept her position of power? Dixie, airline attendant, wants to be married with kids but keeps meeting men that are already married with kids. She decides to stop dating pilot and goes with Nikki to the new airline. Carlisle has a secret, can he escape the danger he is in and make a new life in Las Vegas?
Not one of my favourite Carr books. I can't put my finger on it but it seemed to lack something. I did love the characters and the way they came together for one another.

This may be my favorite book of Robin Carr's, that I have read, so far. There was some humor, some predictability, but I loved the character's, both the good and the not so good. Robin Carr has a wonderful way of with character creations.
Blue Skies was written about the airline industry and the start up of a new airline company. It follows the lives of an airline pilot, following the death of her ex husband, her two children, and her parents, both divorced and their journal through the highs and lows of life. Then her friends, one a female Steward and her problems with picking the wrong man, then moving on to become the personal assistant, gatekeeper, to her friend the pilot. Then the other main character is a male Steward how is follow through his struggles with relationship. One of the secondary characters is a terrible pilot, who lies on his resume on his experience and fobs off his work on others.
We written enjoyable to read. I would recommend any of Robin Carr's book and this book especially.

This is a bit different from some of Carr's other books. This is a relatively deep dive into the world of commercial airlines, in terms of settings, which is different from the rural/semi-rural settings of many of the books I've read by this author. The issues of the main characters were also less conventional than in the Virgin River series, for example. Those books were pure entertainment and I enjoyed them for that purpose. Here there are a few more thought-provoking themes involved - homosexuality and sexual promiscuity and how they are perceived by others, just for starters. (Just to be clear, those are two separate themes concerning two different characters, one gay, one straight.)Manipulation and backstabbing on the job were also brought in. The element of romance is relatively minor in this one, actually. This was a book that kept me reading far too late at night, but I enjoyed it very much.
October 17, 2020
Overwhelmingly saccharine, patriotic, unrealistic, American nationalistic, ethnocentric (both villains are Latino men), pointless, plotless, polarising with regards to characters, superficial, and stupid.
This, this is my last book ever from Carr. The woman lives on another planet and it’s ridiculous.

enjoyable read...fun & interesting relationships amongst many people with the start up of a new airline.

I really like Blue Skies even though I gave it three stars. I liked it because it is set in my world, the world of aviation. I am a pilot and female so I recognized so much of what Nikki had to put up with. My world was not airlines but general aviation but pilots and the aviation world is much the same no matter where you work. The three was for the romance. There was not that much of it and it was only near the end of the book. I did love the one between Dixie and Danny. It was sweet and fun. Much of the book is about the airline business after 9-11 and Robyn Carr must have done a lot of research as she got so much right. Reading about all the problems in the industry and then everything that has to be done for a start up was interesting and that was most of the book. Long on airline facts and short on romance.

If you're looking for a spicy romance novel, this isn't it. It does have some wonderful friendships, and I liked it for that, but don't be expecting much in the way of "romance."
I nearly always enjoy Robyn Carr's books as a sort of palate-cleansing read between heavier novels. They don't require a lot of thought and rarely cause a negative emotional response, so I know what I'm signing up for when I pick one up.

ho hum story with lots of boring details about the airline industry. Story plods along until..."boom!" in the last 30 pages it's "happily ever after" for everybody.
I liked the Virgin River series but everything else I've read by RC has been dull dull dull. Do not recommend this book unless you want to know more about the airline industry after 9/11.

Maybe a little drier than some Robyn Carr I've read, but an intriguing look at aviation history. Ihave a new respect for "start-ups" now that I know where they might come from

I started reading this book around 1 in the morning and finished it at 6:45 am. So much for sleep! I'm a fan of Robyn Carr but this stand alone novel is a little different from her Virgin River series in that it is a stand alone novel and I would say that the development and love of aviation is almost a separate character. The authors husband had a lengthy career in aviation at the time the book was written and the background knowledge was very important to the story development.
Of course there are multiple other characters too - Nikki, who started to learn about flying at her father's knee, had a terrible divorce and has a mother who drives her nuts; Dixie, who loves easily and often but sadly not wisely and always ends up with a broken heart and Carlisle, a gay flight attendant who is embarrassed to admit that he is a victim of domestic violence. These three friends all work with an airlines in the year shortly after 9/11 when travel was down and airlines were struggling to hang on. These 3 close friends make the decision to move to Las Vegas for the start up of a new airplanes. The process involved in getting going was fascinating andcthe challenges faced by women in the business clearly laid out. In addition to these three the reader gets to know extended family and new staff coming onboarding at the airline from pilots, to gatekeepers and even incompetent blowhards.
It was a fun read!

I downloaded this audiobook from ym library solely on the strenght of the narrator. I love Therese Plummer's narration. I also like Robyn Carr fine, but I've kinda of gone off some of her recent stuff.
I ended up really liking this. It is one of her earlier books, set in the airline industry written in the aftermath of 9/11. 9/11 looms large in the story as recent history. Not necessarily in a tragic way, but as a jumping off point of how the event profoundly changed the airline industry and how people approached security in flying. Deregulation of the industry also plays a part in the story.
It follows three people who work in for a big airline: Nikki, a pilot, and Dixie and Carisle both flight attendants. The blurb is a little misleading because it makes it sound like this is going to be a book that breezily follows the three as they find love and, oh yes, start working for a new airline.
In fact, this book is heavily focused on the airline industry and what it takes to start up a new airline. What romance there is (and these three do end up in nice romances) is quite anemic. I actually enjoyed all the info about how an airline runs, and also the industry speak. It was pretty fascinating and Carr managed to tell the story in a nicely soapy way.
Fun listen and it was a nice departure from some of the later stuff she's doing now.

This book starts heavy and a bit slow. About quarter of the way through it really gets good. By the end you really love it. I learned so much about the aviation industry and I found that super enjoyable.

I love this author and have read most of her books! I have recently read two of her older stories, this one and another which were both excellent. Once I start one of her books, I can hardly stop and read them in one or two days. Blue Skies was no exception!
September 9, 2016
Let me start by saying I have not read a lot of Robin Carr books. I am pretty much a stand alone book reader not series books which limits my choices of Robin Carr books. The ones I have read I have enjoyed.
This book was not exactly what I expected, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is set in the aviation industry which I found fascinating and it was not as much a romance book as a story about three friends. There is romance thrown in but it is not the main focus of the story. NIkki, a pilot, Dixie and Carlisle, flight attendants move to Las Vegas to get in on the ground floor of an airline start up. They each have their own baggage, but they also have the desire to make a fresh start and they have each other.
With tough work schedules, crazy exes, a manipulative mother and co-workers from hell it's a rather entertaining ride. The main characters were easy to like and the supporting characters just rounded out the cast of this fun read.
I will definitely recommend this book and hopefully find other Robin Carr stand alone stories to enjoy!

I think what I liked most about this book was the hopefulness that the characters had. It wasn't all the time and they went through some bad times, but with the new job and new lives they all were so excited, you couldn't help but to get excited with them.
I enjoyed Nikki being challenged by a dimwit at her job. Those that were in the know knew she didn't have anything to worry about. I loved seeing Dixie start to see herself differently and have to become the pursuer instead of the pursue. Carlisle needed this time to get his head together and did it in a way where he was surrounded by those that loved him.
All in all a fun book to read.

3.5 just made 4 stars, it was about three friends finding their way along with a convoluted family environment. In some ways it reminded me of the madness of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. But it had less laughs but it was close. A lot of airline detail, found it interesting. It would have been a touch better if the primaries had a real romance not the promise of one. But Danny and Dixie saved the day.

Very Romantic
The story of three very close friends who step in to each others' lives when there is a need to support and comfort. The book opens with the death of Nicole's except-husband, the the terrible situation with Dixie and her lying lover, and finally Carlisle's domestic abuse situation. Each one leading to more page turning excitement. I would definitely recommend this book.

Another great audio from Robyn Carr. I love the narrator she uses for most of her audiobooks. As for the content, I got a little bogged down in airline terminology, but I admit to learning a lot about the life and inner workings about the airline industry. I loved the characters, particularly Opal. She was so much fun and a perfect match for Nicky's rather uptight lifestyle.

Great story of a successful woman pilot and how she earns respect from the men who put her down. She is also a survivor of a bad marriage in which her husband had custody of children because of her heavy work schedule. So, she was the one that paid alimony. Ex husband suddenly dies and she has her children back and gets a new job with a new airline. Life looks better for her now. Fun book.
