Review: Virgin Flyer by Lucy Lennox
SYNOPSIS:
Wanted: One night together, no strings attached. Hold me, make love to me, treat me like I’m the most important person in the world. No talking. No names. And don’t be surprised if I’m gone in the morning.
After crushing on my best friend for years, I realize he’ll never want someone inexperienced like me. So I decide to get it over with, play the V-card once and for all with an anonymous hook-up. The terms are simple: no talking, no names.
It isn’t as easy as it seems. Now I can’t get the handsome stranger who greeted me with soft kisses and gentle touches out of my mind. Those hands, those lips… But it was just a one-time thing, and I need to forget about him once and for all.
At least I know I won’t ever see him again—until I board a flight and catch sight of a familiar profile in the cockpit just as the door closes.
REVIEW:
This wasn’t a bad read but it could have been better. I enjoyed the story but the book is plagued with so much drama it is daunting and endless. But the thing that drove me crazy was how fast it ended, like I mean we got to see a handful of pages of love confession/HEA and that was it. Needless to say, I was a little disappointed in that.
Teo and Jack were adorable, I liked their unconventional meeting, followed by a chance encounter to heat things up again. Don’t get me wrong, they have endless sexual chemistry but over the course of the book, they truly form a friendship and deep bond. They learn about each other, have endless late night conversations and it was all endearing and sweet.
But the external drama really killed a lot of Teo and Jack’s moments. Teo’s best friend, Chris, is the scum of the Earth. He doesn’t want Teo but he doesn’t want anyone to have Teo either. There’s so much deceit and lies circling this man and I loathed him. When Teo finally pulled his head out of his arse to see Chris’ true colors I wanted to slow clap and applaud the man, but also shake him down because it took far to long. Then there is Jack’s meddlesome family and ex-boyfriend. After all this plays out we get to the ending which honestly, was so rushed I didn’t feel satisfied as I closed the book.
Actually at 90-some odd percent when Teo and Jack were arguing, I was sitting there thinking that there isn’t enough story left to clean this all up. Unfortunately, everything was solved with ‘I love you’ and they fly off into the sunset, fin. Which wasn’t enough, I wanted more. I truly didn’t feel like there was closure on the whole Chris drama, not to mention the rest of the friend circle calling the man out on the lies. And the whole ex-boyfriend drama wrap-up was so cliché, I just feel a whole lot of meh as I finished the book.
