During the Flight (Small Town Hearts #3) by Emma Alcott



Amazon Link - Available in KU
Goodreads Link




They say joining the Army changes a man... too bad Chris never got the memo.

Sure, his battle-sculpted body and brooding blue eyes are hotter than asphalt in summer, but he's still every bit the jerk he was before leaving their small town for the military years ago. Pompous. Arrogant. Cocky as hell… and constantly on Warren’s mind.

It should be easy to ignore him. Straight single dads aren't worth pining over, and straight a*holes even less. If only Warren could stop dreaming about the way it would feel if Chris were to grab him by the hair, rake his teeth down his neck, and—well, you get the point.

The problem is, Warren’s fantasies aren’t likely to dry up, because something about Chris did change while he was away… and the glint of desire in his eyes when he argues with Warren now? There’s nothing straight about that.

During the Flight is the hot and hilarious third book in the Small Town Hearts series, but no knowledge of previous books is needed to fall in love with this one.
 



My Rating - Stars!


During the Flight is another amazing romance by Emma Alcott. The third book in the Small Town Hearts series, it is easily read as a standalone.

Chris and Warren are two men who hate one another. It's been ten years since they've seen each other, but the anger is still real. Now put in the position to see one another again, commence the fun. 

This story is classic small town fun, with plenty of secondary characters who contribute to the story. The two most prominent are Libby and Jack. I enjoy the presence of Libby, who is caught in the middle of the two men, having ties to both. And then there's Jack. Oh, how I love Jack. Every moment with him is precious. I know some don't like children in their tales, but Jack is adorable, as he tries to help his dad make a friend.

This is a story revolving around the aspect that people change. One can't argue that "...time changes people." 

It involves incredible pent up anger and frustration, tension and rage, and a whole hell of a lot of hate sex. If you enjoy relationships that develop through hot hate sex, you will love this book. That said, if hate/revenge sex is a hard no for you, run far, far away from this story.

I love Chris's evolution. When we meet him, he's just a man who's looking out for his son's best interests. Later on, he finds  love and people who care for him. He finds a family. 
 
It's no surprise that the writing is fabulous. The author is consistent is developing compelling characters and taking them on a riveting journey. She also throws in some twists and turns that are gut wrenching. 

During the Flight is enemies to lovers at it's finest. I love every moment of this Emma Alcott tale and I couldn't devour it fast enough.
