I've read this book twice now and both times I loved it. I mean, everything about it just clicked with me and this may have been helped along by the swoon-worthy Grayson but really I don't think it was him at all, I think it was Leah.

Leah is not the easiest character to like in many ways. She uses her body and her sexuality to get her way with the men in her life and you could hate her for that but she frequently doesn't realise what she's doing at that moment because she is using every advantage she can to move forward in the world. She lives in a trailer park with her mom who frequently takes advantage of her. She has had to struggle for everything and the one thing she has found which she loves and hopes will move her out of that trailer park is flying. She is a prickly pear and I loved that about her. She got defensive over things others would see as innocuous because she hasn't had a normal childhood and people often don't realise that.

Ugh, I could rave about this book for a good long while and it still wouldn't do it justice. I can feel a big old Jennifer Echols book binge happening because of this and I have no regrets. Thank goodness for Goodreads new reread feature which can encourage it.

This is the first book by Jennifer Echols that I've ever read. Why? I have no clue. There aren't enough words to describe how much I loved this book.

A sexy and poignant romantic tale of a young daredevil pilot caught between two brothers. When I was fourteen, I made a decision. If I was doomed to live in a trailer park next to an airport, I could complain about the smell of the jet fuel like my mom, I could drink myself to death over the noise like everybody else, or I could learn to fly. Heaven Beach, South Carolina, is anything but, if you live at the low-rent end of town. All her life, Leah Jones has been the grown-up in her family, while her mother moves from boyfriend to boyfriend, letting any available money slip out of her hands. At school, they may diss Leah as trash, but she’s the one who negotiates with the landlord when the rent’s not paid. At fourteen, she’s the one who gets a job at the nearby airstrip. But there’s one way Leah can escape reality. Saving every penny she can, she begs quiet Mr. Hall, who runs an aerial banner-advertising business at the airstrip and also offers flight lessons, to take her up just once. Leaving the trailer park far beneath her and swooping out over the sea is a rush greater than anything she’s ever experienced, and when Mr. Hall offers to give her cut-rate flight lessons, she feels ready to touch the sky. By the time she’s a high school senior, Leah has become a good enough pilot that Mr. Hall offers her a job flying a banner plane. It seems like a dream come true . . . but turns out to be just as fleeting as any dream. Mr. Hall dies suddenly, leaving everything he owned in the hands of his teenage sons: golden boy Alec and adrenaline junkie Grayson. And they're determined to keep the banner planes flying. Though Leah has crushed on Grayson for years, she’s leery of getting involved in what now seems like a doomed business—until Grayson betrays her by digging up her most damning secret. Holding it over her head, he forces her to fly for secret reasons of his own, reasons involving Alec. Now Leah finds herself drawn into a battle between brothers—and the consequences could be deadly.
