Book Review: Flying in Love

There are so many great things to love about Chalon Linton's new book, Flying in Love. As a military wife herself, this story hits some really great beats in the emotions of what it means to serve.

Paige Hall gets her heart broken when she catches her boyfriend cheating. She is trying to heal when she meets Captain Jake Summers. He seems almost too good to be true. He's great with children, loves to laugh, and has charm to spare, but Paige takes a chance. She is careful and their love story has quite a few twists and turns to it that will keep readers up late to see if they get their happily-ever-after.

The author does a great job in weaving in military life and how transitory it can feel sometimes. The only drawback to the book were the times that Jake treats Paige horribly in front of family and colleagues without a good reason, but then he apologizes in private and she forgives him. I wish that cycle hadn't been introduced because that could be a red flag in many relationships. It sort of took the shine off his hero status for me a bit. Other than that, however, I thought the setting was well-done, the family relationships complicated and realistic, and Paige was very relatable. I'll definitely be looking for the next book from this author.

Here's the back copy:

Paige Hall’s happy ending may just be in sight. She has been dating her boyfriend for months and feels confident their relationship is going in the right direction—until she catches him kissing another woman. Humiliated and hurt, Paige retreats from the dating scene and pledges to never fall hard again as she throws herself into her work as a speech therapist. Her vow is upended in a grocery store parking lot when she is nearly run over by a handsome and very apologetic air force pilot.

Captain Jake Summers is everything a girl could dream of: charming, considerate, and hardworking. Despite Paige’s determination to avoid falling into another relationship, her resolve is no match for the whirlwind romance that ensues. When Jake is not flying, he and Paige are inseparable, and Paige begins to believe in happily ever afters again. But when the couple faces a heartrending loss, they must find strength in each other and in their faith or risk losing a once-in-a-lifetime love.
