Flying In Love

I could not get enough of this book and finished it in one day! I am so sad that it's over as I just want to keep reading all about Paige and Jake. I found the book so relatable as it was filled with all the doubts, insecurities, and trust issues that may arise when starting a new relationship and getting to know someone. This was such an easy read and I can't wait to read more of Chalon's work.

This contemporary romance gave me all the feels! I simply could not put it down because my emotions were so wrapped up in the story.

Paige catches her boyfriend cheating and is struggling with the heartache when she meets Jake, an air force pilot, and the two begin to date. The thing I loved most about this book was how relatable Paige and Jake are. The author isn't telling the story of two perfect people who have a perfect relationship. Their lives are messy and they are dealing with issues of trust, forgiveness, and grief as well as learning how to communicate. Jake's career in the military adds an extra dynamic to their relationship and military families will certainly be able to relate.

As their relationship grows, Jake and Paige struggle and make mistakes and learn together, and that's what makes their relationship so beautiful and real. It's what made me laugh and cry and made my heart ache. It's what makes this not just a good book, but a great one.

This is Christian fiction and though it is not overly done, the characters reference their faith in and reliance on God. Fans of Becky Wade and Rachael Hauck will certainly enjoy this read.

This was Chalon Linton's first contemporary romance and I hope it will not be the last. I eagerly look forward to reading more of her work in this genre!

I received an advance copy from the publisher through Netgalley but my opinions are my own.

Thank you net galley for the advance reader copy of this novel. I enjoyed this contemporary romance novel. I've read other works by the author but this is my first reading of contemporary romance by her. I appreciated that this novel was clean! Thank you so much for not including sex. I liked paired character but Jake character was my true favorite. This novel storylines built around trust and truth issues that Paige and Jake had to work through. The plot was realistic as were the characters. Well done!

5 Stars

Flying in Love by Chalon Linton is about a mid-twenties woman falling in love with a pilot in the Air Force. In the beginning of the book, we meet Paige, the protagonist, going to her boyfriend’s house to bring him food and to celebrate his promotion. However, Paige sees her boyfriend kissing another woman in the window and flees from the scene.

Without giving spoilers, Paige is a smart and strong female character, and has strong female friends and family that help her during her break-up. In addition to her strong support system, she manages to bump into a handsome Air Force pilot who helps her get over her ex. Paige and Jake’s relationship grows as they get to know each other and experience suffering together.

I loved and appreciated the added element of faith in this love story. This is the first book by Chalon Linton that I have read, and now I want to read more of her novels.

Thank you to NetGalley and Covenant Communications for an advanced copy in exchange for a fair review. I truly enjoyed this book, and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.

When Paige Hall catches her boyfriend cheating on her, she decides she is done with the dating scene. This all changes for Paige when she almost literally has a run-in with Captain Jake Summers while at the grocery store. Jake and Paige click right from the start but with his crazy career and her insecurities left over from her last relationship they hit multiple roadblocks to their HEA.

I fell in love with characters right from the start. From Paige's obsession with all things Jane Austen, to Jake's respect and love for the women in his life there wasn't a single character that I didn't identify with at some point in the story. There are some stories that strike you in the heart and stary with you, and this is one of those.

Chalon Linton has a powerful way of connecting real emotion to her stories. There were many times while reading that I had to sit the book down and just feel the emotions that a scene provoked in me. Paige learning to trust after a heartbreak, her learning to grow to appreciate and understand her mother more. Jake's dedication to his job and his family. These were all so relatable to me that I can't wait to read what Chalon writes next!

Flying In Love is a beautifully written romance. Great plot and character development. I really hated to see this book end. Highly recommend this book. I received an arc from the publisher and Netgalley and this is my unbiased review.
