Membership has its wicked little privileges!
During five years working for the Department of Defense, aerospace engineer Sedona Stewart has given up her personal life (along with her libido) for her job. But there's no promotion in sight...unless she joins The Membership—a secret men's club where members are promoted according to their sexual escapades! But then, much to the joy of her inner seductress, Sedona discovers she's to spend the next few weeks in California, working closely with Lieutenant Commander Angel Torres—a top-notch pilot, and walking sex-in-a-flight-suit. And while the club suspects she's working toward a 'promotion,' they have no idea just how far Sedona will go... Or that she'll enjoy every sizzling minute!

Even though the boy's club in this book was one of the stupidest things I've ever read, this was freakin hot. As in panty dropping, Oh-My-God hot.

Flyboy can best be described as dying relationship with two partners stubbornly ignoring their problems- it was only saved by the sex.
To accurately describe the book, I should probably give it two ratings. One for the plot and one for the sex appeal. I’d give Angel and Sedona at least 4 to 5 stars for setting the pages on fire. Even for a Blaze, Flyboy was heavy on its erotic appeal.
While I ended up giving the book 3 stars overall, I came very close to giving it 2, or maybe 1 and a half- because the plot was just so freaking absurd. If I hadn’t pushed myself through the very beginning it may have become a DNF. While it’s believable that there is sexism in the military, it’s a bit extreme to have the plot focus on a secret “Membership” where people are promoted by their sexual exploits during business trips.
One thing in the books favor is the lack of drawn out Big Misunderstandings between the protagonists, though I do think those are more common in Presents than Blazes. While there were a few Big Misunderstandings, Sedona and Angel managed to work things out within a few pages, instead of drawing stupid issues out through the entire book. And they both actually chose to deal with their issues and feelings, which was refreshing. No, what really makes this book a wall-banger is its absurd plot line.
I think what I love most about this book though it is its cover: massive phallic imagery! How on earth could I resist buying a book with a cover this blatant and hilarious!? And the cover model… abs to die for. The book might not be a keeper, but the cover is.

DNF - just couldn't get past the 'as if!' storyline. I don't think the author has ever worked in a professional high-tech job where women are the minority, but I have (and still do!) This storyline is so far removed from reality it should be classified as an urban fantasy read. I soooo want my money back. I quit reading before I even got to any of the hot stuff. Too bad as the hero was shapping up to be a really interesting guy, but the heroine and the plot drove me nuts.

I really disliked this one. The whole premise of a secret Boys club and being promoted on sexual promiscuity is just so stupid and outlandish. I didn't like any of the characters at all. Hero was only attracted to heroine when he saw her in Workout clothes and got an idea she had a nice body, but he wasn't attracted to her face or personality before that. He recalled that he barely knew she existed when they worked together previously. Heroine just going along with what her father wanted (her job choice and to not be feminine) was so pathetic to me. Np.

Too focused on sex, between the work troubles and the romance. They also rushed into things without really knowing each other, so there were a lot of conflicts due to misunderstandings, lack of communication, and general lack of trust. It made it a very frustrating thing to read, and I didn’t really buy the happy ever after. Love isn’t real where there’s no trust.

This is one of the only books I have that actually has pilots...I need more, but this...this is also a book I've fallen in love with. I've read it 3 times, and it's still amazing to me! It's a quick read and the spice and the drama is both amazing. It's a story I highly suggest, for the love of planes, romance, and hot men in flysuits!

This book was decent, with a hot hero and a heroine that was initially shy, discovering her sexuality in many ways, and I could root for both. However, it was very predictable. The conflict was obvious and the resolution a given. Also, there are a lot of long narrative areas where the narrative goes on and on for pages, and it really through me out of the story. I ended up skipping over a good deal of the narrative because it just was not engaging me.

An aerospace engineer (that would be the heroine) discovers that the men at work are doling out promotions based on sexual prowess on business trips rather than, you know, work accomplishment. When her attempt to expose their scheme fails, she starts her own affair with a hottie fighter pilot. A lot of Top Gun type stuff ensues, which was actually well done. Better than average for a Harlquin Blaze; I'd give it 3.5 stars if Goodreads would let me.

Didn't like the idea that much but I enjoyed reading it.

The storyline wasn't great. The only reason I gave it 3 stars was because of the steam- this book in very steamy....even for a Blaze title!

Like most romances, the plot was cheesy as hell. It was well-written though!
