Something in the Air

Another wonderful book in the Running On Air series from L.H. Cosway. Michaela works for James and has been in love with him for a long time. Since he is 100% unavailable, though, she buries her feelings. After meeting her in the first book in the series, I was looking forward to getting her story here. She was a relatable heroine who I was rooting for from the beginning. James was a great match for her and it was fun seeing him come to realize his own feelings for Michaela.

Audiobook: Narrators - Will M. Watt and Stacey Holmes Wow! I fell completely in love with this book again. I love to listen to a book as a reread and that was my plan with this one as I loved it when I initially read it. However, I have to admit, I loved listening to this one more than I ever loved reading it. I could not turn it off! I knew what was going to happen but these narrators were so perfect and their voices absolutely enthralling that I couldn’t stop listening. To say I was mesmerized by them both is not overstating it. What’s so amazing about me loving it that much is that I sometimes struggle with narrators who have an accent and yet that was not the case with either Mr. Watt or Ms. Holmes. I already want another book performed by this duo! This is a beautiful story of pure romance and I could not put it down! ’Quite like jumping from a new and untested height, there were very many things that could go wrong. But when it went right, there wasn’t a feeling like it in the world.’ Michaela has had a crush on James since she first met him. But he’s engaged to another woman, so she fights to hide her attraction which is difficult when she finds herself helping him to restore his house. When the wedding is canceled and life takes a sharp turn for him, she’s quick to be there in any way she can...but are the feelings growing between them true or a result of his emotional turmoil? I loved that this couple started out as friends and their relationship grew from there. Michaela was sweet and kind, just what James needed. She had a few insecurities that had left her living life in the shadows, but watching her step into the light that was James was wonderful. James in turn was not a camera hog or a man who had been around the block a time or two. Instead, he was the strong, loyal type that stayed in the background. I loved having his point of view. I felt like I was really able to get to know him and thereby fall in love with him, just as Michaela did. ’With Michaela, my caveman instincts took over. All I wanted to do was claim. When she leaned close, nuzzling her nose into my neck, it was all I could do to keep from growling.’ There isn’t a lot of drama throughout this book but when it shows up things get pretty heavy hearted. I hurt for Michaela but my heart was breaking for James. This couple were just so perfect together and I needed them to get their happy ever after. This was a great read with low to mid-angst. While the chemistry is very real between this hero and heroine, this is actually a slow burn. But holy heck! When this couple decide to cross the line, they set my kindle on fire! With the rest of the Running on Air characters there were great moments of humor. I love the banter these guys engage in. Overall, this was a wonderful book that promises even more wonderful things as this series continues.
