Chapter extract
"Can I have your boarding pass please, sir?"
Alex looked down at the pretty flight attendant. She gave him a sweet and professional
smile, one that nearly floored him. The last thing he was on the lookout for here was dating
prospects, but this woman had taken him completely by surprise.
"Sir?" She repeated. "May I have your boarding pass please?"
"Oh yes, of course, uh..." Alex read her name tag, "Melanie." He handed over his
documents.
"Thank you Mr. Murray. Enjoy your flight." She smiled at him again and then looked to the
next passenger as she handed his ticket stub back to him. He didn't move. Something was wrong.
Melanie's mascara appeared slightly smudged at the corner of her eye.
"Come on buddy, keep it moving." The gruff business passenger behind him said.
"Yes, of course." He moved along but slowly, not in his usual Drummond Corporation
hurry.
She's been crying. He thought. Now why would I even notice that?
It wasn't like him at all to notice or even less to care about other people's emotions. It was
something he had even taken training in to meet his responsibilities as a CEO. Sensitivity had
never been his strong point even if altruism was something ingrained in his nature. They didn't
always go hand-in-hand.
When Alex reached his seat, he struggled to get in. He was a tall man with long legs and
rarely flew economy. In fact, he rarely flew commercial at all, preferring the freedom of private
jets. The Drummond family had a fleet of three in order to meet all o f their conflicting needs. He
was an accomplished pilot and often flew himself.
Thank God it's only a four-hour flight.
He looked up and saw Melanie board the plane. He checked his watch.
Okay, it's a three hour and forty-eight minute estimated flight time with a cruising time of
approximately three hours. That's got to be enough time to find out why she was crying.
As soon as they reached cruising altitude, Alex left his seat and headed towards the galley.
There was a single male flight attendant on duty but no sign of Melanie anywhere.
"Can I help you, sir?"
"No. It's okay. Just looking for the restrooms."
"They're right over there."
"Actually, maybe you can help me. Who's head of the cabin crew today?"
"That would be me, sir. My name is Richard. Is there something I can help you with?"
"Yes Richard, is Melanie working economy or business class today?"
"Uh, I'm not sure I need to give you that information sir."
Alex took out his wallet and produced a 100-dollar bill.
"I'm sure the attendant you have on duty in economy will be just fine, sir."
Alex took out another one, two, three, and then a fourth note.
"She's in business class, sir." He went to snap the money from Alex's hand but Alex didn't
let go.
"I'll need an upgrade." He said.
"That's gonna cost you. I could get in serious trouble over that."
"Get me a seat right in front of her and I'll make it worth your while. Double or quits."

My Review
Melanie is a flight attendant for Drummond Corporation doing the Los Angeles to Columbus,Ohio run. But she barely keeping above water with her rent, bills and the added expenses of her mother's nursing home bills in Florida. Alex was flying but under his mother's maiden name to observe the staff without detection. But when he ran into Melanie he knew she was the one. How to convince her but not give his true identity away? But his twin brother, Sebastian also runs into her but he sees it as another conquest. So he requests that she be assigned to a flight to Tahiti but little does she know the only passengers will be the two brothers.
A Drew Sinclair contemporary romance is guaranteed to include a smouldering alpha male (or two) and a happy ending,this book didn't fall short of that expectation.

 I thought that the story was a good one and I did enjoy it but at the same time I found certain aspects of it kind of hard to keep up with and somewhat unreal. The writer did a good job with the characters and the transition from chapter to chapter was fantastic. Overall,it was a good read for me and I will give it 3 stars.

Over to you guys. Cheers.
