The
blurb:
“In
this prequel to Room Service and Lip Service, Dr. Seth Coleman is bored and
restless while he waits for his flight to leave. While waiting, he muses on how
he met his husband, Carson Randall.
Seth
Coleman is a talented surgeon who has the career he’s worked toward his whole
life but is still missing something. As he’s standing in an airport store
contemplating buying a tie, he meets handsome stranger, Carson Randall. After
sparks fly they both realize they want the same thing. They want more than just
a passing meeting in an airport; they want a relationship.”
-------------------------------------------------
My
thoughts:
Occasionally
you read a book or story and fall in love with one or more characters. That is
exactly what happened when I read ‘Room Service’. I met Dr. Seth Coleman and
Carson Randall and was mesmerized. These two men were hot together and
perfectly suited for each other. The only thing I regretted when I finished the
story was that I hadn’t been able to spend more time in their company.
When
‘Lip Service’ came out a short while later I was delighted to meet Set and
Carson again and enjoyed the opportunity to watch another of their very heated
encounters.
I
fear ‘Mile High Service’ may well be our last encounter with these two men and
that makes me a little bit sad. Having said that spending more time in their
company and, what is more, finding out how they met was very satisfying.
Who
knew buying a new tie in an airport shop could be this hot?
“He
moved close as he reached around my body, fingers deftly flipping up the stiff
collar of my shirt. The heat from his body warmed my back, and the scent of
spicy aftershave and clean male flooded my senses.”
I
loved the idea of two, otherwise sensible and practical, men giving in to their
impulses, following their feelings and going for broke.
“I
was kissing a stranger who’d seen me clearer than anyone else."
And
since I am a firm believer that it is possible to see somebody and instantly
know you’ve laid eyes on the person you’ll spend the rest of your life with, I
rejoiced at Carson Randall’s words, spoken only a few hours after first setting
eyes on Seth Coleman.
“I’m
all in with you if you’ll have me. First dates, tie shopping, plane sex, and
all.”
I
should add, without going into details, that the service mile high is very good
indeed.
As
in the previous two titles, Nikka Michaels has managed to tell a full and
detailed story with a limited amount of words. I feel I know these men better
than I did before and have a rather clear picture of who they are, what they
look like and how they are together. ‘Mile High Service’ brought me pure reading
enjoyment just as the two previous titles as had. What more can you ask for
from a story?
Finally
I would like extent my gratitude to Jaycee. I know she expressed many readers’
hopes when she asked for the story of Carson and Seth’s first meeting. I’m just
glad that, unlike the rest of us, she decided to open her mouth. If it wasn’t
for her we might not have this wonderful treat available to us.
