Avery and Elise having seen each other in a while are surprise when they see each other on a airplane. Avery has been trying to get over Elise but it’s easier said and done when she watching her show. Elise broke her heart and Avery because she believes she was doing the right thing at the time and she comes to realize that she didn’t.

Avery and Elise has a second to rekindle their relationship as they get to know who they are now they also have to deal with the crazy stalkers fans that are targeting Elise. This was a good read I like how they story was more about Avery and Elise then the stalker part of the story.


I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

In Go Around, E J Noyes has dipped her toes in the second chance romance pool and was masterful in blending angst, enduring love and suspense in it.

Federal Air Marshal Avery Weston has spent 15 months without her award winning celebrity ex Elise Hayes. She is getting over and getting there; except everyone knows in order to get over someone you cut any chance to see them, even if it’s on tv. When Fate dealt her with a wicked hand by placing Elise right next to her while she is on duty, Chance meant letting Elise put up at her place after saving her cruel.

The chemistry and dynamics between the pair was thick and palpable but what stood out for me throughout the book was the type of love everyone wish they had; fierce and protective, grounded in loyalty, passionate yet to be able to just be when you are with the other. Noyes also made Bennet, Avery’s dog another highlight for me. He was the tension breaker and a giant darling.

I just reviewed Go Around by E J Noyes. Thank you NetGalley and Bella Books for the ARC.

When you get approved for an EJ Noyes ARC book, it automatically jumps to the top of the list. She is simply one of the best. I love second chance romances. They're some of my favorite tropes to read as I love angst and juxtaposition between longing and hesitation. So one from EJ Noyes is exciting!

Go Around follows Avery Weston and Elise Hayes. Avery is a federal air marshal almost done nursing a broken heart over her A-list actress ex-girlfriend Elise. Her recently mended heart starts to tear again when she runs into Elise on a plane trip, then instantly afterwards Elise shows up at Avery's house asking to stay to be safe from a stalker. Avery agrees and this proximity brings up a lot of old feelings for each other good and bad.

I was super into this book from the getgo. For a romance novel there is a fair bit of action scenes, both fictional and real with Avery's job and those just suck you right in.

The angst between Avery and Elise was great. The connection between them was so palpable from the start, and they were so drawn together. I loved them both. Their chemistry was so strong. And it was really touching having Avery be the one person who sees Elise. Connections like that feel very real to me. If I have one smaller complaint it's that I would have loved a touch more drama between them hashing out their past. Yelling can be fun to read!

The story was really compelling too. And that's coming from me as primarily a character reader. EJ Noyes is probably one of the best at combining a romance novel with a compelling plotline as well. We come for the characters, love, and steam- and stay for the enticing stories. And this was gripping with the stalker situation, Elise star status and how everything would resolve.

And for some small notes, I also was tickled by her headnods to Alone, my favorite by her. And Bennett the dog was absolutely adorable.

While isn't my favorite book by EJ Noyes, she's still one of the best writing lesbian fiction and it's still a damn good book. 4.5/5

There's a reason why E.J. Noyes is many people's favourite author. She has fine writing skills and an incredibly creative mind that produces stories that are out of the ordinary like Reaping The Benefits and Alone. But even when she does regular tropes like this book, her stories are still fantastically good.

One thing for sure, her characters are never boring. They're the ones you'd chat up at parties because they're interesting people with interesting jobs you'd want to get to know. Avery is a Federal Air Marshall and Elise is a Emmy award-winning actress and for this alone I picked up this ARC right away. I love that we get to see Avery in her element and the only thing I had hoped to see more of is Elise shine at her work too. But of course I appreciate that we get to see the real Elise behind the celebrity façade. Avery and Elise are good together, the chemistry is great, but what I also love is that both characters are so distinctive and are equally attractive in their own right.

Noyes seems to always find the right balance between story and character development. I love how the crazy fan stalker scenario is always there to prod the second chance romance along. I love how Noyes gives the characters time to get reacquainted, talk things out and work out issues that they never got to do the first time around. At the same time, I'm incredibly happy with the amount of steamy time Noyes has set aside in this one too.

Once again, Noyes has done it. Great story! Love it!
