Blue Skies Book Review

Blue Skies by Robyn Carr was next in the pile from library because it came in at the same time as my last Robyn Carr book.  I enjoyed it so much and I didn't think that this would be as good because it just didn't seem like something that I would be interested in as much but boy was I wrong!!

Nikki Burgess has had a tough life with her mother, Opal, leaving her and her father at an early age and coming back once a year to make her over and take a family picture and enjoy a meal.  She enjoyed growing up flying planes with her father and decided to become a pilot after finishing school.  She married her rebound relationship which ended in divorce after two kids.  Her husband fought for custody and won because she traveled for her job.  She moved back in with her father and only saw her children when her ex allowed it while she was paying lots of money in child support and they were living in the family house.  Her husband passed away and she started to feel happiness again because she got her kids back and got a chance to start her life over.

Nikki's best friends are Dixie McPherson and Carlisle Bartlett who both work at the airline with her as flight attendants.  Dixie has had her share of relationships and has never found her soul mate to spend the rest of her life with.  Carlisle is a openly gay man who has the charm to settle even the most disgruntled passenger but spends his nights with a partner who is much less supportive and takes every opportunity to belittle and demean him.  Both friends are sure of themselves at work and much less at home but their friendship helps carry them through all of the ups and downs including Nikki picking up and moving to Las Vegas!

I was excited to start this book after the last exciting Robyn Carr book but I knew nothing about flying so I wasn't sure if I was going to get into it.  Boy was I wrong.  It is an amazing book with lots of friends and drama to bring you through.  Here is hoping that some of these single novels turn into series because I would love to see all of these characters again too!  I hope that you enjoyed some of Robyn Carr's books already but if you haven't pick up one at your local library or bookstore soon.  There is no reason not to get to know all of these great characters and feel their ups and downs with them.
