An airport pet groomer meets her frequent flier crush in this captivating romance novella from the acclaimed author of How to Fail at Flirting Ollie Wright loves the thrill of taking chances, like opening a pet grooming salon in an airport where every day is a little unpredictable. The one thing she won't risk is her heart, so catching glimpses of a cute stranger from afar is enough romantic entanglement for her. Bennett Baker is a professional risk assessor by day while writing popular romance novels at night, except he finds himself facing writer's block. His life of carefully planned stability comes crashing down when he rescues a slippery pup in the airport and returns it to the enchanting pet groomer whose laugh inspires him to start writing again. Their chance encounter and instant chemistry thrusts them into a whirlwind of airport dates at pretzel kiosks, stolen glances at empty gates, and late-night texts that leave them swooning. If the risk-adverse Bennett can take a chance on uncertainty and adventurous Ollie will break her own rule, their relationship might stop taxiing and actually take off.

A very quick read. The airport setting was fun and I liked the characters individually but I couldn't get behind them as a couple, making all these big life changes for each other when they had no chemistry.

THE TEXTS
THE WITTINESS
BENNY IN GENERAL>>>
 seriously just so good
All of the inside jokes and the hangouts and ugh just so so cute
And Benny’s ramblings made me fall in love I swear 
The banter even during their IT scenes was just amazing. Not appropriate but not detailed either.
This author is super talented 
Benny is very unrealistic but I love it sm that I don’t care

The way Ollie actually took care of herself unlike other main characters was phenomenal. Like she was smart and did what she knew was best for herself. I like that (even if I hated it at that moment) 

His minor groveling was great and it really was just a good fast sweet book

Enjoy my annotations~

For all the steamy love scenes they talked about Bennett writing, I expected to actually see one of them in action. A little disappointed there wasn't more spice, but a nice little novella anyways.

I listened to this as an audiobook. 

I enjoyed the duel perspectives of this story and the two narrators chosen. I would have like to have the male/female do their respective parts in the chapters. 

Overall it’s a cute story.

This was a cute romance/airport novella! 

I really liked the similarities and contrasts between the two main characters regarding their concerns/fears about risks. I didn't love the muse plot line but I did really enjoy how terribly awkward Bennet could be: it was so endearing! And hello Shane EAST?!

3.75/5 ⭐

Novellas can be tricky for me. I'm either obsessed and crave more, or feel like they slightly missed the mark. This one fell in the middle for me. The concept was cute, but the execution felt lacking. I liked Ollie and Bennett but would've loved to have seen a bit more character depth and development for them. I thought their flirtation was cute, but once it evolved into a relationship felt stagnant. The chemistry wasn't there, which was surprising since I've loved the relationships in Williams' other books. My other issue was the plot itself. There were a few mentions of Ollie's aunt's wedding and how she didn't want to go alone, and her ex-boyfriend, who we see for about two paragraphs, will also be attending, so I thought we'd eventually see this wedding, and we didn't. It just felt like unnecessary details to throw in. Despite that, it was still a quick read, but I was hoping for a little more.
