This one has a thoroughly intriguing storyline with a major
financial crime at its centre, very likeable MCs and great chemistry.
Kay Corbett is a long-time employee at Logan airline and has
recently been moved into the upper echelons of the company. Kay’s father had
also worked in Logan for decades so fondness for and loyalty to the company is
ingrained within Kay. Soon after joining the rarefied senior management, Kay is
dismayed to discover that there is a huge cross-airline consortium working
together and cheating customers. Willy-nilly Kay is dragged into the whole nefarious
scheme. She starts gathering evidence against the consortium hoping to expose
them. Hardworking and brilliant Riley Bauer, a new member of the Finance
team of Logan, has a huge crush on Kay. On an overseas trip to Tokyo, Riley and
Kay realise that their attraction is mutual. Back home things are fraught
because of Kay’s secret mission. Taking a leap of faith, Kay shares information
with Riley and finds her new girlfriend rock-solid in her affection and integrity.
The high-stakes white-collared crime makes an interesting
premise. However, the writing is uneven in the sense that a lot of times it
feels like dispassionate narration and at other times there is this fantastic
chemistry between Riley and Kay. We loved Riley – she is sexy, risk-taking
emotionally, open, loyal, has high levels of integrity, honest and practical.
Kay is also a strong and solid protagonist. The whole whistle-blower rules,
rights and process is very interesting.
This is an engaging and interesting read.
