Publisher's Summary

The Unhoneymooners meets The Hating Game in this breezy debut romantic comedy about life - and love - 30,000 feet above the ground.

After 10 years as a flight attendant, Ava Greene is poised to hang up her wings and finally put down roots. She's got one trip left before she bids her old life farewell, and she plans to enjoy every second of it. But then, she discovers that former pilot Jack Stone - the absurdly gorgeous, ridiculously cocky man she's held a secret grudge against for year - is on her flight. And he has the nerve to flirt with her, as if he doesn't remember the role he played in the most humiliating night of her life. Good thing she never has to see him again after they land....

But when their plane encounters mechanical problems, what should have been a quick stop at the Belize airport suddenly becomes a weekend layover. Getting stuck on a three-hour flight with her nemesis was bad enough. Being stranded with him at a luxury resort in paradise? Even with the sultry breeze and white sand to distract her, it will take all the rum punch in the country to drown out his larger-than-life presence.

Yet the more time Ava spends with him under the hot Caribbean sun, the more she begins to second-guess everything she thought she knew about him...and everything she thought she wanted from her life. And all too soon, she might have to choose between keeping her feet on the ground and her head in the clouds....

What the critics say

“A sexy, dazzling debut, The Layover is a jet fuel-powered rom-com that had me dreaming of sun-soaked beaches and a view from 35,000 feet. Plus the delicious, slow-burning romance, sizzling banter, and crackling chemistry? Swoon. If you’re an enemies-to-lovers fan - or have even a speck of wanderlust in your heart - The Layover is the romantic escape for you!” (Angie Hockman, author of Shipped)

“[A] breezy enemies-to-lovers romp with just enough heart to keep it grounded.... The couple’s sparkling chemistry and flirtatious fighting make this sing. Readers craving an armchair getaway need look no further.” (Publishers Weekly)

“[A] tropical, fun and flirty summer read ideal for a beach day.” (USA Today)

Cute, but…

I had a hard time believing that someone who could be so sassy and brave with a relative stranger would be in such a bad relationship. It didn’t seem to track with her character. Apart from that, it was cute and fun to listen to.
