BLURB
About 40 percent of the general population reports some fear of flying.

For Nicole Jensen, this is more than just a statistic. It's a reality she lives with daily. So when Nicole is thrust into planning a convention out of state, she soon realizes that she might have to face that fear head-on.

Enter Nash Taylor, former playboy pilot, occasional as$hole, and way too good-looking for Nicole to take seriously. But the more time they spend together, the more she realizes that Nash is way more than what she thought, and falling for him becomes harder and harder.

Without realizing it, Nicole and Nash need each other in ways neither of them expected. But will Nicole’s past hinder their connection or allow it to take off?

Private Instructor is a contemporary romance inspired by Playboy Pilot.

MY REVIEW

Nic has a major fear of flying that's not been an issue until trying for a promotion means she has to finally face that fear. That's where Nash comes in - a playboy pilot who now runs his own business. Nic knows to steer clear of him, he could decimate her heart in ways she's really not in the frame of mind to survive. But when he starts to show her a different side, will she let him into her heart?


Grief can be overwhelming. Sometimes romantic and otherwise, fiction, can gloss over this fact. Private Instructor didn't gloss over it or sweep it under the rug, and the story was better for it. It was handled with care, nothing over the top, but was definitely present in every part of Nic's life. I like how Nash handled it, and how near the end, how Nic handled it. I always love it when the playboy is reformed by attraction, then love, and this is a classic case of it with two lovable characters who share a strong emotional and physical connection. Definitely a wonderful addition to the Cocky Hero Club.


AUTHOR BIO
S.A. Clayton lives in a small town outside of Toronto, Canada with her husband and her scary large collection of books that seem to take over every room.

She has worked on both sides of the publishing industry, both in a bookstore and for actual publishing companies. Although she loved both for different reasons, she found that writing was her true passion and has spent the last few years breaking into the industry as best she can.

She is a lover of all things romance and began her writing journey in her late twenties. Since then, she has immersed herself in the romance genre and couldn't be happier.

When she's not writing or reading, she enjoys binging a great Netflix show (Stranger Things anyone?), baking (because who doesn't love cookies!) and spending time with her family.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
