Catch Grounded (The Flight Series, #2) Composed By A.E. Radley Presented As File

Having been shocked by the sudden, hanging in mid air ending to the previous book in the series I was a bit concerned this book would be the same! Everyone knows formulaic romance is meets/loses/gets I felt I paid double for one arc.
I enjoyed the books, the first one for me was stronger and I enjoyed all the character interactions more I though the dialogue was lighter.
There were a also couple of inconsistencies in the second book that were a bit distracting, A great sequel to SQA, If you like bookwhich ended or didnt end as one would have thought, then you will definitely need to get on with Grounded just so you get some form of closure.
Olivia and Emily came together again in Bookwith a different set of problems/issues to get on, An excellent and easy read with a party to celebrate at the end of it !! Great sequel

What I enjoyed the most, apart from it being well written and intelligent, was that the plot meandered in directions I didn't predict.
Overall, a lovely read to see out the journey between the lead characters, Wonderful second part of Olivia and Emily's story, Yes, I know this is supposed to be the second book in the Flight Series, but between you and me, it's not, It's the second part, actually,

I love all main and secondary characters in the story, But I really, really love Olivia, Oh, the ending is also very satisfying,

I look forward to future novels by this very talented writer, In some ways I find myself at odds with most of the other reviewers, This was quite a nice romance, but at times I found myself getting quite frustrated by some aspects of this story,

I found Emily a little irritating, Olivia is supposed to be the social inept in this story, but in many ways Emilys pride, anger, unreasonableness and inconsistency make her far more difficult to live with.


I was much happier with last quarter of the book, except for Marcus not getting what he deserved, Its OK having a happy ending, but I also want to see the bad guys getting punished,

Had the book finished with Marcus arrested or ruined I would have happily given it four,STARS!

For a good review see Tiff's review, . . what she said.

I really enjoyed this book, So much so I read it in one shot and I rarely do that, Well, OK if you don't count the break when I fell asleep atAM with my ipad in my hands, I did finish the last couple of chapters when I woke up, I had that euphoria you sometimes get after reading a really good book, I also typed up a review but Goodreads ate it, Arrgg. It was brilliant. :

I did discover that I love characters like Olivia in this book and Nora in KD Williamson's Blurred Lines, Characters who are focused, socially awkward, brutally honest they see no need not to be, loyal, and brilliant at what they do, However, characters like these, need very capable authors such as Radley and Williamson, with the talent to write them so they are not comical and/or unlikable.


This series will definitely be a reread for me, I loved it!!! I love Olivia's character and Henry's! He is so cute, I really like the previous one, but this is so much better, I hope there are a third book, I need it. I need a book of all of them living together and being cute and lovely together, I was a little disappointed with this book, I was looking forward to it since I really enjoyed the first one, I guess it just fell flat for me This was a really enjoyable, fast, light read, I read it straight after sitelinkFlight SQA and pretended it was all one book, In the first book Emily has just become a longhaul flight attendant which will hopefully assist with the monumental debt she has gotten herself into.
Olivia Lewis is a regular first class passenger in Emily's section from New York to London and return and Emily can't help but notice how attractive she is, if somewhat odd.


When Henry, Emily'syearold son, falls ill and is offered medical care in London the airline agrees to fly him over.
He is immediately drawn to Olivia who, in turn, is fascinated by him, Their bond is instant and quite heartwarming,

Emily and Olivia's relationship is not as simple, Emily is a single parent and incredibly proud even with her debt swimming around her ears, Olivia is a wealthy, successful financial planner with undiagnosed social interaction issues, Needless to say, miscommunication and misinterpretation is pervades their interactions,

I seem to be drawn to this character type and weirdly enough, she is named Olivia in at least three other novels.
There is something appealing about someone who says exactly what they think, is unable to engage in subterfuge and does things because it's right or logical.
Opposite her there has to be an Emily type character one who gets them but isn't prepared to put up with being insulted.


I don't mind children in romance novels but there is a very thin thread in the suspension of disbelief, Where I can happily believe that two people can lock eyes across a crowded room and know they are soulmates, it's a bit more a a stretch to believe you can put a child to bed and they sleep through the night.
I fall about laughing. Henry, however, is very well written and integral to the plot, There is no baby talk, he's cute and he changes the subject in that infuriating way that kids do, He also wasn't perfect and had temper tantrums,

Overall, I enjoyed both books, The story was interesting and the secondary characters were a lot of fun, The only detractor for me was the fadetoblack sex, Such a sweet story,

I thoroughly enjoyed this book as well as book, sitelinkFlight SQA,
Given that there are already so many amazing reviews out there I will keep this short, This book is simply fantastic, it has great main and secondary characters, the plot flows well and there is an abundance of sweet and endearing moments.


The only very small point of critique I have are the chapters written from Seb's POV, I honestly found those to be unnecessary and found myself skimming and often skipping upof those chapters, All in all this book and it's prequel are both a solid, I don't remember the first book at all, so maybe it wasn't a good idea to read the second part after such a long time.
I found it in my Kindle and thought 'why not',

Okay, I do remember some things, I mean the basic. I do remember what the story is about but I don't remember their chemistry and stuff like that, And I found absolutely zero chemistry between Olivia and Emily in this part, And maybe that was the problem,

I think that maybe if I read the sequel right after I've read the first part, I would've liked it better.
Good, but not as good as the previous one I am totally enjoying the flight series and hoping there is a book, Would love to see where all these characters go in the quirky world the author has created, Olivia is back, Olivia is back! If you liked or loved Flight SQA, just get ready because Grounded is a sequel that completely surpasses its predecessor.
I know, this is a rare feat, law of diminishing returns and all, but I am here to tell you it has been done.


Well, you know Olivia is back, She is also a bit broken, Where we left her in Flight SQA, she has just royally screwed up with Emily, Remember, she railed Emily for being a neglectful parent for putting her son in a coach seat on

a transatlantic flight, She was an ass and she knows it, Where we pick up a few months later in Grounded is where you start to see some of her character development begin to really flesh out.
She accepts her mistake but her heart has been filleted, Losing Henry and Emily in one fell swoop has taken her down several pegs and given her more humanity, She is in emotional pain but has resounded herself that her misstep with Emily has lost her chance with them forever, She totally deserves whatever heartache she must endure, Life has a funny way of bringing folks back together and when her plane crashes into the tarmac, yup it crashed, a set of events unravels to bring these two leading ladies back together.


When we meet back up with Emily, shes blocking her emotions about Olivia out, Unfortunately for her, sticking your head in the sand ostrich style doesnt really work with fiveyearolds, Henry wants his friend back, and to say he is persistent is an understatement, Her life hasnt got any easier either, The debt is only growing exponentially, and even with a new day job, she not putting a dent in it, You got it! Emily is no longer serving drinks to the high fliers, Henrys less that scrupulous grandfather has come into the picture demanding visitation for himself and his wife with the young boy, Emily, not wanting another drawn out custody battle, acquiescingly agrees to his request and in return is awarded a desk job with one of his cronies.
Strings attached, boy are they attached, and it gets ugly!

No worries though for all the drama surrounding the two leading ladies their chemistry is still off the charts.
It takes a bit for out two mains to come back into each others lives, no too long, but once they do you have that epic back and forth dialogue that makes you fall in love with them all over again.
Olivias quirkiness is still infuriating and adorable to the quicktempered single mother, Henry and Simon, of course, are there to give the story more depth and lightheartedness,

If you were worried on how Radley would seem the two book together after Flight SQAs unsatisfying ending, Im here to tell you she did it better than I could have ever imagined.
Grounded has fantastic pacing, and the layers of the story build to give you an amazing love story, Oh, youre worried about the ending Well, dont be, I promise this one will leave you with a smile and some tiny butterflies.


I was given this ARC by the author for an honest review, Just what the doctor ordered,

After the harrowing zombie novels I'd previously been reading, this book felt like a warm bath with lots of bubbles and candles.


After the appalling and abrupt end to the previous novel, this book picks up pretty much immediately and I was still left scratching my head as to the contrived ending of the last novel.
For someone so understanding to so abruptly end things when she was absolutely aware of the others shortcomings, it still jarred with me throughout this novel.


However, with this novel, yet again the writing is assured, plotting and dialogue seem effortless although I'm sure they are not and honestly I was reduced to tears by a simple declaration from one of the characters.


Okay, I know that this started out as a fanfic but damn this is so well done that whatever it's roots, this is a beautifully engaging romantic novel and I look forward to whatever this author writes next.


Where do Ylva keep digging up these wonderful first time writers, Kudos. City professional Olivia Lewis is coming to terms with her latest romantic failure by attempting to throw herself into her work, But with clients suddenly leaving Applewood Financial in their droves it becomes clear that old enemies have decided to strike and Olivia realises that she is losing everything.

Meanwhile the world of firstclass flight attendant Emily White comes crashing down around her when she loses her job with Crown Airlines.
With no income, enormous debts and a brokenhearted fiveyearold son she thinks that things cant get any worse, That is until a blast from the past threatens it all, When a twist of fate brings them together will they finally be able to understand each other

,words Why did I buy partmy bad the characters just didn't gell and they were just using each other.
Move on. I enjoyed the first book in the series so much that I did not want too much time to past prior to reading book two.
I was not disappointed. If children are part of the story, then they should be a main character and so far in this series, Henry is a major part of the story.
His behavior impacts Olivia and I was captivated by how she reacted, Emily continues to struggle with doing things on her own as well as her feelings for Olivia, On the other hand, Olivia knows exactly how she feels about Henry and Emily, I really enjoy when children are part of the story and make the grown ups have to react to them and their needs and also meet their own needs.
