Go Around - by E J Noyes (Paperback)

About the Book

Sometimes, as Federal Air Marshal Avery Weston discovers, a second chance with your ex-girlfriend flies right into your lap.

Book Synopsis

Avery Weston is doing fine.

Sure, she's not doing as fine as her ex―award-winning actress and current television It Girl, Elise Hayes―but Avery enjoys her work as a Federal Air Marshal and also enjoys almost being over Elise walking out on their relationship fifteen months ago. Until Elise is seated next to her on a flight, and the emotional progress Avery thought she'd made is reset in an instant.

Just like their first flight together, this one also has some bumps. But this time they don't have to make a go around for a safe landing; they just have to deal with an overzealous fan threatening Elise. And when Elise comes begging for a place to stay until the stalker situation is resolved, Avery has to agree it's the perfect solution to keep Elise safe. After all, nobody knows Elise Hayes used to have a girlfriend.

It's only for a few weeks, what's the harm? Except for some tiny issues, like when you're still kind of in love with your ex and the mutual spark is as strong as ever, it's easy to fall into familiar habits. Then there's Elise's apologies and genuine regret over leaving, which makes it hard for Avery to hold on to past hurts and sends her simmering emotions to a boil.

But love and sparks aren't always enough. If Avery and Elise can find a way to move past everything that came between them last time, maybe they'll get a chance to go around and try landing their relationship again.

Review Quotes

E.J. Noyes is definitely one of the best writers in the lesfic genre. After finishing each of her books, I always ask myself, "How is it possible that with each new book, she completely out does herself?" I am truly in awe of her ability to craft such emotional stories. She is a master at writing in the first-person point of view. She's able to give the reader so much insight into her lead characters' feelings, emotions, and thoughts. The celebrity romance is a common trope in lesfic and I eat them up just like zillions of other readers. From word go, readers are taken on an emotionally intense ride throughout several weeks in the lives of Avery and Elise, exes who are caught up in a dangerous web cast by a stalker. While living together, they not only deal with Elise's life being spin danger but also the feelings for one another that never left after their breakup. The chemistry between the two as well as the love they had for one another was palpable. Their conversations are real, raw, and deep with a little sarcasm and humor beneath the surface. It's intense, thrilling, and a real page turner. Ms. Noyes, you are an amazing writer and I thank you for sharing your amazing gift with the world. I can't wait to see what you come up with next!―NetGalley, J.Beebs
