Synopsis

Two strangers share a romantic night together only to discover months later they're professional rivals in this grumpy meets sunshine romance novella from the acclaimed author of How To Fail at Flirting.

Gia loves her job as a professor, even when it means dealing with an elusive rival academic who’s made it his mission to criticize her work. When she meets him for the first time, she’s shocked to learn they’ve met before. Months earlier, they shared a perfect New Year’s Eve together in an airport during a weather delay.

After months of working together, Felix still can’t believe the person whose research he's been challenging is the same captivating woman he kissed that night. The two couldn’t be more different. Gia is bubbly, friendly, and extroverted and drives ordered, serious Felix nuts. 

Now the two have been assigned to embark on a five-school tour for work. Gia and Felix can’t imagine a travel partner they’d enjoy less until they feel the sparks fly over their shared armrests, security mishaps, and a shared hotel room. They'll need to decide if they can manage their professional tension, or risk missing the connection of a lifetime.

For the second of the Airport Novellas, we have Gia’s love story. Gia is the best friend of Bennett from the first book, and I really enjoyed her in both stories. She’s a professor, so the backdrop is academia. She works with Felix, a total grump of a man, but they meet first for the first time at t......more

Goodreads review by Jessica

Eh this was just okay. I think the pacing was a bit weird and I literally thought a chunk of the book was cut out because it just jumped forward a lot and I had no idea what was going on. Then there were other parts that were really slow and I didn't really care for. I love the idea of these two peo......more
