Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for a review copy in exchange for my honest review.
Thoughts:
Through COME FLY WITH ME by Gina Welborn and Becca Whitham, we travel back to 1886 inside Helena, Montana Territory, as we tumble into a new story for Luanne Palmer when teaching and romance may not go together at all!
Luanne is a dedicating herself as a teacher, but her heart is suddenly clueless to this fact as feelings develop for Roy Bennett.
Roy's traveling ways would lead to heartbreak and the end of a job she loves.
Meanwhile, Roy Bennett is actively pursuing a lovely woman. She is his friend's sister, and her brother and sister are giving him advice in his quest. When Luanne Palmer seems to shrink back instead of drawing near, he begins to think that he's making a mistake.
Choosing between love and employment is never an easy decision to make, but in landing a dented reputation, something entirely different emerges.
What does settling down actually mean? When should a marriage start?
In this quick read, you will find their answers inside a love story that isn't supposed to be and one you do not want to end, but afterward, you'll uncover upcoming reads and romance!
***This opinion is my own.***
Preview:
COME FLY WITH ME by Gina Welborn and Becca Whitham is the beginning of A Montana Brides Romance where a celebrated journalist known for high-flying adventures and a schoolteacher could never be....
Luanne Palmer holds herself to the highest personal standard, by her teacher's contract, but her developing feelings for Roy Bennett, who will soon be off to another adventure, is a colossal mistake. No, she may not be as against love as she thought, but she is certainly not willing to give up everything for that lofty goal.
Roy Bennett begins to understand.
Luanne Palmer does not want him around, and he's been making a pest of himself. A way to make amends and impress her plus help her students comes to his attention, and he takes the opportunity.
How could he bring his aeronaut business to her classroom without it going wrong? When can one balloon race become one too many?
Will Roy and Luanne remain at their jobs in the end?
Luann, spinster schoolteacher, is forbidden to court or be alone with any man. That doesn't seem to stop Roy from pursuing her. As Luann's class demonstrates an interest in Roy's hobby of hot air balloons, he uses that opportunity to win Luann's love.
This is a sweet read. Nothing truly special in way of plot or storyline, but it was quick and happy. I enjoyed reading it, and would read another.
