Angel Flight (Flygirl series #2) by R.D. Kardon

From Goodreads

Two women. The men they love. One desperate plan.

Pilot Tris Miles is finally getting the recognition she deserves. She is a trusted captain and confidante to her boss at Westin Charter Company, and mentor to her young, ambitious co-pilot Bruce. Tris is offered a coveted promotion and the opportunity of a lifetime—to fly a prestigious “angel flight,” transporting a critically ill woman from a remote town in northern Canada to the US for medical treatment.

But Tris needs more than professional success. Still alone almost three years after her lover Bron’s death, Tris meets Mike, a local pilot with a secret past he refuses to discuss. Their budding relationship stumbles when Mike gets hired by Westin Charter to compete for the promotion Tris was promised.

As Tris & Mike’s professional battle intensifies, their personal relationship deepens. Life is getting a whole lot more complicated for Tris, and it’s about to get worse as the angel flight embarks. No one could imagine what awaits them in Canada, and how each will have to fight for their lives on this mission of mercy.

My thoughts

Thanks to the Book Club on Facebook reviewer group for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review.

I gave this a 4 stars or 8/10.  I found it a well written story that drew the reader in to the world of Tris and her colleagues.  This is the second in the Flygirl series, the first one being called Flygirl.

In Angel Flight we get to follow Tris as she moves on in life personally and work wise, her flying career sees her vying for top position in a commercial flying company.  With being female Tris faces discrimination at every level and finds that she often has to go that extra mile to prove her competence.  The knowledge that the Author has with being a pilot herself shines through in the story.

Tris finds herself battling with a colleague Mike for position in the company, this doesn't hamper their personal relationship developing though.  They seem to be a great couple, but romance and relationships don't often run smoothly and like the odd pocket of turbulence and bumpy flight that you can sometimes find yourself on, Tris and Mike's relationship begins to mirror that as certain aspects of their lives begin to be revealed.  Can they overcome the turbulence and will their relationship have the perfect landing and outcome or will it be doomed to failure?
