Summary: Complete and total fun
Review: After eagerly waiting a year for her next book, I am sorry to say that it was a big letdown. I have found her other books to be fun and sweet (especially the trilogy), but this book kept me wondering if it was really written by her. The romance label on the spine is misleading, since there is very little romance at all in this book--it is more a behind-the-scenes look at a start-up airline. I found myself skipping pages--the explanations of the airline were dull, and far too detailed. The characters were one-dimensional and cliched. The suspense at the end was only slightly interesting, and the 'and they all lived happily ever after' ending felt trite.

Summary: This is romance?
Review: I have to agree with an earlier review written. The story was good, but not very romantic. The details of the airline industry did get rather tedious to read about. Wish there had been more of a romance theme since I did buy it in the romance section of the bookstore.

Summary: Blue Skies Smilin' At Me!!
Review: I loved this book!!!! From the glimpses into the aviation industry, to the relationship Nikki had with Opal--from the old to the new, Robyn Carr covered it!! Her handling of the 9/11 issue was well done without being maudlin--and without taking political sides. Her characters are witty, sharp and bright--believable!! If you want a wonderful read, I highly recommend you grab a copy of Blue Skies!!!

Summary: this Carr can fly
Review: In Phoenix forty-seven years old, wealthy tax law specialist Drake Cameron apparently dies of a massive coronary though he seemed in perfect health. His fourteen year old daughter April found his boy in their bathroom. His ex-wife commercial pilot Nicole Burgess knows that the funeral does not have that many attendees because when the domineering Drake labeled a person as an enemy combatant, they would be freed from Gitmo fast, regardless of the alleged incident. She felt lucky to escape with her sanity from their marriage but still feels depression and guilt that she lost custody of her children to him.

Drake's nasty lawyer informs Nikki that her former spouse left his children with nothing and even her child payments vanished without a trace. She is irate and her trust in men is devastated further. She marvels how her airline's friend Dixie McPherson can still seek about everlasting love. As a potential dangerous situation occurs with lives on the line, Nikki learns loving relationships with no time for hatred and ire are what matters, but will she and her copilot live longer enough for her to display the lesson learned?

BLUE SKIES is an engaging character study that provides insight into airline personnel. The story line predominantly soars with Nikki as the pilot, but also adds depth by a solid glimpse at Dixie and another pal. The suspense comes late in the plot, but besides adding tension, this is the device that enables Nikki to finally see clearly the BLUE SKIES smiling at all she has. This is one author who proves a Carr can fly.

It's flawlessly written, filled with authentic details about the topic and most importantly, a moving tribute to the strength, humor and joy of women trying to make their way through life.
