ABOUT THE BOOK

A traffic jam is the last thing Piper Holland needs in her already stressful day. The dry cleaner’s will soon close, and she really hopes to wear her luxury silk blouse when she pitches her theme to the editors of the magazine she works for. But when she finally sees what’s caused the backup, she feels a pinch of guilt: a man in a military uniform is gallantly pushing a stalled vehicle off the road. Suddenly, her rush to the dry cleaner’s seems incredibly unimportant. Fate offers Piper a chance to redeem herself, however, when the handsome good Samaritan crosses her path again.

Gabriel Orsini, a fighter pilot stationed at Luke Air Force Base, seems to be the perfect man, and an assignment at the magazine offers Piper the perfect chance to get to know him better. Her “Day in the Life: Hometown Heroes” article was tailor-made for the bighearted pilot. Before long, their interviews for the article enter date territory, and Piper realizes she’s falling for Gabriel. But her tragic past has taught her one thing: no one stays. And the transient lifestyle of a military man leaves her no doubt that Gabriel will eventually abandon her too. With her heart on the line, Piper must decide: is the risk of loss worth the possibility of forever?

REVIEW

Fly Home to Me carries several romantic and dramatic elements. The characters are drawn together and yet Piper has to overcome some of her fears, past experiences and anxiety to find her own happiness. I like that Piper showed several flaws and I felt like most of this story was relationship based and facing your own personal "demons." Piper's a likeable character and I found myself rooting for her to make steps at finding happiness. I feel like this story has a lot of realistic elements. There were some parts of the story that reminded me of my family's experience with my dad serving in the Coast Guard - waiting for the servicemen to arrive, the description of the uniforms, and the long trips away. This was easy to read and the pacing of the story felt right to me. The story contained a lot of drama and weight as it was dealing a lot with Piper's anxiety and fears. I felt like it made the characters seem more realistic and dynamic. To learn more about Fly Home to Me, click here.
