Planes, Trains, and All the Feels

Cassidy Bliss should already be in Los Angeles for her sister’s wedding, but everything that can go wrong, has. Due to a plane malfunction, she’s stuck driving cross-country with Luke Carlisle, an incredibly attractive but very uptight, annoying man who was on her plane. Luke is making the journey to check on his sister, nieces, and diabetic alcohol-addicted mother. His family has always been his focus, taking priority over everything else in life, including relationships. But Cassidy seems to be getting under his skin. She’s a bright, bubbly person with a big heart and a way with people but doubts her worth due to years of emotional abuse by her mother, while Luke has an inflated sense of responsibility, stemming from his father’s abandonment of the family. These well-developed characters have sizzling chemistry that builds slowly over the course of their road trip. Told from both points of view, the well-crafted writing pulls readers into the hearts of the protagonists and doesn’t let go until the satisfying end.
