Fly Away with Me

By Susan Fox

Known for its rugged beauty and eccentric residents, tiny Blue Moon Harbor is big on love . . .

For busy lawyer Eden Blaine, a trip to a Pacific Northwest island she’s never even heard of is far from a vacation. Eden’s ailing mother has tasked her with finding her long-lost aunt, who once had ties to a commune on the island.  Still reeling from a breakup with her longtime boyfriend, romance is the last thing Eden is looking for. But her gorgeous seaplane pilot has her wondering if a carefree rebound fling is exactly what she needs. . .
 
Aaron Gabriel has no illusions about happily ever after. His troubled childhood made sure of that. But he does appreciate a pretty woman’s company, and Eden is the exact combination of smart and sexy that turns him on. Still, as he helps her search for her missing aunt, the casual relationship he imagined quickly becomes something much more passionate—and much harder to give up. Can two people determined to ignore romance recognize that their heated connection is the kind of love destined to last?

Susan Fox

Susan Fox grew up with her sister, Janet, and her brother, Steven, on an acreage near Des Moines, Iowa where besides a jillion stray cats and dogs, two horses, and a pony, her favourite pet and confidant was Rex, her brown and white pinto gelding. She has raised two sons, Jeffrey and Patrick, and currently lives in a house that she laughingly refers to as the Landfill and Book Repository. She writes with the help and hindrance of five mischievous shorthair felines: Gabby (a talkative tortoiseshell calico), Buster (a solid lion-yellow with white legs and facial markings) and his sister Pixie (a tri-colour calico), Toonses (a plump black and white), and the cheerily diabolical naughty black tiger Eddie, aka Eduardo de Lover. She is a bookaholic and movie fan who loves cowboys, rodeos, and the American West past and present, and has an intense interest in storytelling of all kinds and politics, which she claims are often interchangeable. Susan loves writing complex characters in emotionally intense situations, and hopes her readers enjoy her ranch stories and are uplifted by their happy endings.

Reviews for Fly Away with Me

[Suze Lavender · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Eden's mother is desperate to find her sister. She's ill and wants to know what happened to her beloved older sibling now that she still has the chance. Therefore she sends Eden to Destiny Island, the last place she knows her sister was staying many years ago. Even though the trip isn't a holiday, Eden's pilot Aaron is determined to make her enjoy her stay. He will also help her with her search and in the meantime they can spend their free moments together.

Eden isn't looking for a relationship and Aaron doesn't think he'll ever find someone he wants to stay with for a long time, so they both feel the same way about being attached. Will their attraction change their minds and will Eden find what she's looking for or is she going home with just good memories of the man she met on the island? Destiny Island has a magical effect on people, will Eden be able to forget about it and move on once she leaves it behind?

Fly Away with Me is a wonderful romantic story about two strong main characters. Eden and Aaron both know what it's like to look out for other people. They do everything they can to make their loved ones as happy as possible. Eden is cautious and levelheaded. She never does anything spontaneous, but meeting Aaron brings out the best in her in many different ways and she can finally loosen up. Aaron didn't have an easy childhood and he's never seen good examples of loving successful relationships between people close to him. That's why he doesn't believe he will ever have one either. When he meets Eden something shifts. They're amazing together, but they don't live in the same part of the country, so keeping in touch would be difficult. I couldn't turn the pages quickly enough to find out if they'd have a chance at true love.

Susan Fox writes about a beautiful setting in a fantastic vivid way. I loved reading about Destiny Island, a place that has a terrific vibe. I was mesmerized by it from the start and liked every single page of the story. Eden is falling in love with both a man and an island and that is something I could easily imagine. Susan Fox has written a spellbinding story filled with impressive emotional layers and plenty of surprising twists and turns. I really enjoyed reading this gorgeous book.
