Description:
First impressions aren’t always what they seem. Just ask Callie Corwin.
Deniz's Review:
It's Callie Corwin's first day on the job as a flight attendant on a long haul flight from California to England and she's nervous enough without getting sidetracked by the handsome cowboy in seat 4C. Soon enough, though, she's got an even bigger problem - is the dark-eyed man five aisles down hiding a gun? Callie starts to wonder if she'll reach London, or find her career is over before it's even begun.
A Wing and A Prayer is a quick read, just perfect if you're looking for a little escape on your morning commute. A couple of typos here and there distracted me from the story, but otherwise I couldn't wait to find out whether Callie and the cowboy got together - or if something more sinister was brewing. Callie's voice rang true - it's a shame about romance conventions, because I wouldn't mind a sequel featuring these characters!
I was pleasantly surprised to see that the author is published by an e-publisher from my hometown - right on my doorstep and I didn't even know it. I'll certainly be looking out for more books from them.
Deniz's Rating:
Thank you for your time and effort. We've had a hard time finding the errors you mentioned, and I am really confused by this sentence, "Callie's voice rang true - it's a shame about romance conventions..." as I made no mention in this book about a convention, romance or any other. I'm not sure what you meant.
ReplyDeleteAgain, I appreciate your time.
Hi Ginger,
ReplyDeleteI didn't handle the read on this story, but I just wanted to address the 'romance conventions' confusion. I believe the reviewer is reference romance standards, not an actual event in your story. While sequels are becoming more common, historically, in the romance genre, it hasn't been a common occurence. It was just a complementary comment saying she'd enjoy bucking the romance trends and seeing a sequel to this story.
Thanks!
Joey
