Synopsis: Margaret is a pilot who’s too busy fighting her misogynistic granddaddy to have any kind of relationship. So when a fling she thought she’d left back in London starts popping up around her family, Margaret doesn’t know what to think.
Leon is on the run from his family and their reach. After a whirlwind romance that crashed and burned right on the front pages of every rag in London, Leon hasn’t bothered getting to know anyone new. Now he finds himself miles away from home and questioning everything he thought he knew about relationships and friendships.
Can Leon and Margaret learn to let go of the past and the things that are tying them down, and learn to fly? Or will their professional and personal lives crash and burn?
Thoughts: Margaret is every eldest daughter I know. She stay fighting. No matter if it’s the patriarchy of her family business or the “boys club” that is being a commercial airline pilot, Margaret is going to fight for her right to be respected.
Her individual relationships with her siblings are real; you can see she takes pride in nurturing those relationships and being there for her siblings. Their support of her in both her career as a black female pilot for a commercial airline and her drive to take over the family business shows that they love and respect her as much as she does them.
The family is full of great characters I can’t wait to learn more about as the series continues. Leon was done dirty and I can completely understand his drive to stay away from his family and the drama it brings, and remain unattached. His relationship with his brother is a huge green flag for me. Even though he’s distancing himself from the family name and business, he does all he can to hold on to his brother and make sure that connection remains strong. Even going as far as trying to make it stronger. The budding friendship he has with Dominick makes for some beautiful representation of what male friendships can be, supportive and open.
There was some spice on the page but for my usual taste, this was a very mild book. The story was good although I could have used a bit more scenes with Margaret and Leon and Margaret with her granddaddy and dad in the workplace but the storyline was straightforward and interesting. I will continue to follow this series cause I still need answers on the family secrets that seem to be overflowing this family cup.
