Mile High
Stevie is a flight attendant and this year she is going to be a flight attendant for the ice hockey team The Raptors. One of the hockey players is Evan Zanders and he is also the most attractive one. Good thing he is also the most annoying one because she does not date sports players after a previous relationship experience with another athlete. But it is so hard to resist him.
Evan Zanders is one of the Raptor players and according to the media, he is a bad boy who gets into fights and hooks up with girls every single night. But that couldn’t be further away from the truth. And now he has a crush on his flight attendant. He does literally anything to get her attention and to get her in his bed.
Review
Normally the books I read have around 400 or maybe 500 ebook pages. This one was 700 pages according to my Kobo reader. So this is the first time, I read a big book. Although, now I think about it. ‘Thing We Never Got Over’ by Lucy Score was pretty big as well. And I am always afraid to read big books because they will get boring eventually. Especially when it comes to romance, there will be a lot of boring details and parts that I don’t care about.
But honestly, it wasn’t that bad. Sure, it wasn’t a quick read for me compared to the other books I’ve read in the past. I took me a couple of evenings to finish it since I only read for 1-2 hours every single night before going to sleep.
I think I liked Stevie. She cares more about the shelter than her job. And I felt so bad for her about how her mother talked to her. I am surprised that she did not cut her mother off years ago. It made me so angry. Stevie´s brother is the best. Honestly, I liked his character the most in this book. I am really looking forward to reading his story. Hopefully, he won´t let me down. But it sounds like he is a good person. And I loved the brother/sister relationship between Stevie and her brother. They were best friends.
Not sure how I feel about Evan Zanders. First of all, what’s up with using last names instead of first names? I’ve seen and heard this before. And it is not just Zanders, I think they barely used first names. But Evan Zanders has a bad-boy reputation. He even has a list of women on his phone and which city they live in. So I didn’t get the part he claims that is just fake and how that is not him. But there are also things that made me like him. He wears Stevie’s ring 24/7 and he starts to be more open about what is going on in his life. And the fact he adopted a dog was cool. Men with dogs/cats are attractive for some reason.
The setting was pretty cool. I wonder if Stevie’s job really exists and if each team has their own plane crew. Sounds pretty cool. The idea that you are in a different city each week is amazing. I have to say that I am not American, so I don’t know much about American sports like Ice Hockey (or Basketball/American football). So I still don’t know what it means that Evan Zanders had to sit in the penalty box each time and for how long. Maybe it is like regular hockey (which is popular here).
Overall, I still think it was a good story. Maybe a little long for me. I am not used to reading big books because I am too impatient. Maybe I should read more big books, so I will have more patience for books like these. I still enjoyed it. I am really looking forward to reading the second book in the series, which is about another American sport: basketball. Hopefully, I will also see a glimpse of Stevie and Zanders now. But I think we will, since Stevie is so close with her brother.
