Three letter word that is the opposite of happy. 

4.5 stars

That's right I am sad ... Sad because this book is done. I'm so happy that you are back Whitney! Please don't ever leave again!!!

What is it about an arsehole-y hero that I cannot resist? So broken you think there is no redemption??? Yet, he can through the love of a great woman. 

A man who loves his Mom can't be all bad, right? 

Gillian and Jake were both broken in different ways and when they come together it's combustible. Flames leaping from the page hot. 

I enjoy learning their secrets and the little nods to the author. Their stolen moments ... rules be damned steamed up my glasses. 

The only downside (for me) is that I wanted more of an ending. I just didn't want the story to end and would have loved an epilogue.

This is my first Whitney G novel and it will not be my last.  I chose to read this book based on the fabulous reviews that I read.   I enjoyed this book, even though there were a few things I had an issue with. I thought the title was fitting. If you decide to read this, which I think you should, be prepared to be taken on a turbulent journey of lust, passion, and love.

The prologue sets the pace for the remainder of the story. From the first page, I was plunged into the tumultuous relationship that existed between Jake and Gillian. Their relationship was chaotic, their chemistry undeniable and their feelings for each other sizzled like a slow burning fever through their souls.  After reading that emotionally charged prologue I knew I had to find what it was that made these two tick.

Gillian is a flight attendant for Elite Airlines. She recently discovered that her boyfriend of three years had been cheating on her. To get over his betrayal she decided with the help of her roommate that she would indulge in a one-night stand.  She went to a special party, hoping to find a suitable candidate. While at the party she met Jake Weston. It was at this point that things became interesting. Little did they know that what was meant to be a single night of passion would become so much more.  What made this situation even more interesting was that Jake was a pilot with the same airline and the company had a no fraternisation policy.

Jake was a complex character. I had a love/hate relationship with him. I wanted to hate him, but, as I slowly peeled away the layers that were Jake Weston the hate slowly turned into love. Jake is not your typical hero. He doesn’t do relationships. He uses women for his pleasure and discarded them. He took and said what he wanted and to hell with the consequences. He was cocky, intelligent, driven and emotionally distant. As the story progressed, I gained some insight into Jake’s past which made me understand why he acted the way he did.  Some may say that is no reason for him to behave that way, but I have learned that until you experience the pain and hurt that another has gone through we are in no position to say how they should behave. Everybody deal with things differently and Jake’s actions were his way of coping with what happened in the past.  He didn’t want to feel, but Gillian was slowly breaking down the barriers he had built around his heart.

Gillian is trying to get her life together. She is determined to prove to herself and her family that she could be successful. She would discover that it was not an easy task to accomplish, but I liked that she did not consider throwing in the towel.  There were times throughout the book, however, that I hoped she would grow a backbone and stop allowing her family and Jake to treat her the way they did. 

This story was not only sexy, it was heartbreaking and at times humorous. I thought the story was well put together, although there were times I got a bit frustrated with the actions of the characters. Their constant push and pull gave me a headache. I kept praying that they would both get their act together and seized what was staring them in the face.  Also, I found the ending to be abrupt. There was closure, but I was hoping that there would have been an epilogue.

This was classified as an erotic romance. Personally, I felt that the romance factor was missing. This was more a case of boy meets girls and both embark on a sexual journey only to discover that somewhere along the line that their feelings had evolved from mere lust into something more meaningful.

Verdict:
If you love stories that are steamy, heroes who are damaged and hot as hell and heroines who get under their skin, then you would enjoy Turbulence.

I could not put this down! This book had a lot more substance to it that I originally thought it would. The story was captivating and the smut… well 🔥🔥🔥

I really enjoyed this book, it had me hooked from the beginning and I loved all the angst and drama. 

Jack was always honest about his feelings and despite all, I understood a bit why he acted like that. He had a stranded relationship with his family and they betrayed him in the past so he needed to be in control of his life and the people he was around. 

Gillian had a lot of expectations to live up to so most of the time she didn’t know what she was doing. Her family was very hurtful and they always bragged about their success and brought her down. She just wanted to have a good job and life but it seemed hard for her sometimes.

Jack and Gillian had an angsty and steamy relationship, they connected from the beginning and despite only having sex at first thanks to Jack’s request, little by little he started thinking more of her and wanting to be around her. 

Jack’s story was captivating too, I really wanted to know throughout the book what had happened with his family and why he had that cold personality. It was a very addictive story and I can’t wait to read more by the author.
