My Rating - 4.5 Stars!
Flight of Fancy is an enjoyable romance by Vicki Tharp. The second book in The Valley Boys series, it's easily read as a standalone.
Milo's life changed when he had his heart transplant. Not only was his life extended, but he also had strange new thoughts and feelings. He desperately wanted to meet and thank his donor's family, but never expected what he'd find.
Josh is the man who's ex was the donor. Each year he receives letters from the recipient, and each year he doesn't open said letters. His grief is still real, holding him back from living fully.
Milo and Josh's story is one with an instant connection. It's a boss/employee story, as Josh hires Milo, completely unaware of who he is, thus adding in the secrets aspect.
The relationship the two develop is wonderfully done. After the instant connection, the two continue to grow closer, which I love. But the best part is the way Josh is reminded of his ex with things Milo says or does. These memories make things tough for Josh to deal with, making for an emotional read. I enjoy the way this is all explored and carried out.
And then there's the sexual chemistry, which is strong. These two definitely enjoy their time together and so will you.
Ohhh...but the ending. The ending definitely throws a wrench into everything. I thought it would be a cliffhanger at first, but instead, it's a gotcha moment leading into the next book.
The author's writing style is not my typical go-to, but I really enjoy her books. The characters and storylines continue to delight. And damn the emotional rollercoaster. With a relationship based on lies and secrets, the reader is on edge, knowing something bad will be happening. And damn, I'm not one bit disappointed with how the author handles this. It's perfectly gut wrenching, with me feeling the pain in my soul. Well done.
Flight of Fancy is a compelling and touching read. This Vicki Tharp romance is complicated and messy, with the emotions felt throughout. There's agonizing pain at times, and in the end, there's a sweet and heartfelt happy ending.
