BOOK REVIEW- SMART AND SEXY (Sky High Air Book 1) by Jill Shalvis

FLYING SOLO IS WAY OVERRATED

Noah Fisher has worked for months to make Sky High the most prestigious charter airline in California. He's long overdue for a break—something involving ski slopes, cold beers, and hot ski bunny babes. The itinerary doesn't include being hijacked by Bailey Sinclair, gorgeous widow of one of Sky High's wealthiest (ex-) clients. But here they are, and being crammed in a cockpit with the scared, stubborn, unbelievably sexy former model could get Noah in serious trouble. . .AMAZON  3.5 STARS


While I liked this book, it didn't grab me as much as the other two books.  Which of course I once again read as a series out of order.  
I did like both of the M.C.'s because wow, did they have a lot of things that they overcome and still had to overcome.  When Noah figures out some of what is going on, he wants to help Bailey.  After all, he's had a secret crush on her, not to mention some pretty wild fantasies as well. 
Yes, she was married, so he kept his distance before this encounter. Yes, Noah was mad that she hijacked him with a gun, but he began to see she really did have reasons to be running scared. 
One of the things that bugged me was so much of the time Bailey was trying to skip out on Noah, while he was trying to help.  Dumb, really dumb.  But I got her reasoning.  She didn't want to endanger him and she was used to men NOT looking out for her. Of course, another reason she was trying to protect him was because she had some fantasies of her own about him.  And they will eventually get hot and heavy together.
There is plenty of danger, being chased by ruthless men and nearly getting caught several times.  They were also shot at more than once too.
In this book we get to meet Noah's crew of close friends and co-workers/co-owners.  Brody, Shayne and of course their unflappable, multi-tasking organizer of all their lives...Maddie.  
There is of course a very active, blood chilling race to out run the bad guys at the end.  Also a good Epilogue is included.
