BOOK REVIEW- STRONG AND SEXY ( Sky High Air #2) by Jill Shalvis

Strong And Sexy (Sky High Air Book 2) by [Shalvis, Jill]
Blowing It All Sky High

Shayne Mahoney is the laid-back, easygoing rebel in his family. But running Sky High Air--a charter airline catering to the rich and famous--is a dream come true, especially with in-flight specials like kissing his client's beautiful, brainy daughter in a cozy coat closet. But before Shayne can say "Fasten Your Seat Belts," Dani claims to witness a murder, gets stalked in her own apartment, and, as an added bonus, gets them both shot at by a mystery sniper. Normally Shayne would be strapping on his parachute and jumping out of the plane by now, but with Dani's delicious body clinging to his, letting go is the last thing he's willing to do. . .AMAZON 5 STARS

Dani was so endearingly awkward that I couldn't help but like her.  And root for a H.E.A. for her to win in every way possible. Someone I wouldn't mind having as a friend.  Although that might be slightly dangerous because of her stumbling around and accidentally causing personal accidents to herself and others.    And her inner dialogue which often came out her mouth was so funny!  It really did make me smile quite a bit.  She was hilarious!  
But of course, it's not all smiles and giggles.  There is some danger afoot.   But bodies keep appearing and then mysteriously disappearing around her.  That all adds to others the impression that her elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor.   The author does a really good job of making you feel both angry and sad for Dani at the same time. 

Shane is the good example of there is more to this guy than the playboy love 'em and leave image.  In his past "relationships" if you want to use that word about him, women only lasted about a "date" or two.  But there is just something different about Dani, and he just can't seem to walk away.   He is often amused by her and her way of dealing with life.  Although a time or two, his feelings did get hurt when she tries to push him out of her life.  She just feels like a guy as gorgeous as he is and as messed up as she is (even physically) there is no way that is going to work for long. 
Something that they find that they do have in common is that they have been made to feel undervalued for being themselves.  That they aren't perfect fits with their families and what the families think is important.  Even the jobs that they love just don't fit with the family image.  Making them both kind of black sheep of their families.  It's so funny in a good way,  how patient he is with Dani.   Of course that's even when they aren't having crazy monkey sex.  Because look out, there will be plenty of that.
There are really good secondary people in this story too.  I would like to hear more of the backstory for both of Shane's partners that he grew up with.  Both Noah and Brody were people that Shane grew up with and then they struggled to build the business that was now thriving.  Maddie was also someone of interest to me, she was quite the big as life person  in this book.  I've already looked for the other books in this series and will be reading about Noah, Brody and Maddie.  


Just letting you know there is a really good, surprise twist coming at you towards the end of the book.  Yum. I really like this author's writing style.
