I really liked these books I feel that James Cavendish is the only real rival for Christian Grey.

wowee zoweee! This is just book one and I felt swept up. incredible highs and the lowest of lows. I must be attracted to flawed characters. I can't wait to read book 2. If you enjoyed 50 Shades and Crossfire books then you will more than likely enjoy this series as well. Mr. James Cavendish is the utterly alpha/ damaged hero with control issues. Bianca is a strong young woman who has made a life for herself in spite of her past. James and Bianca's relationship is hot and fast ... perhaps too fast?

5 Mr. Beautiful & Buttercup Stars!



“Life hurts.As long as it doesn't kill us, we weather it.”

“Mr. Stalker. Mr. Kinky. Mr. Spell-caster.
Mr. Charming. Mr. Personality. Mr. Stalker. 
Mr. Celebrity. Mr. Beautiful. Mr. Mercurial.” 

I am in complete book love! In Flight had me hooked from the first page, addicted in the middle, and wishing that I could re-read it all over again by the ending. This book has been out for awhile, and after seeing how much everyone loved it I decided to give it a shot, and boy it didn't disappoint! 


  
    "I knew I had a problem. I was starting to like the kinky rich bastard."
  


In Flight is the story of 23 year old first class flight attendant Bianca and billionaire hotel owner James "Mr. Beautiful" Cavendish. 



Being a first class flight attendant, Bianca is used to catering to the elite--from supermodels to movie stars Bianca keeps her prized calm demeanor through all of it, but one glimpse of James Cavendish and the intensity in his turquoise gaze breaks through all of her barriers making him almost impossible to resist...


  
    "It gave me an extraordinary feeling, being on the receiving end of such a stare. It made me feel like I was more important than air to him for a brief, profound moment."
  

When the Dominant James makes Bianca an irresistible offer, Bianca decides that this is the perfect opportunity for her to let loose and have a no strings attached relationship. She doesn't date- not after her tragic past, and she is determined to not become attached to James Cavendish. An arrangement that is just sex. Sex where Bianca can be the submissive that she's always fantasized about. The arrangement seems just as appealing to James, for he has demons in his past that still haunt him as well, and he doesn't do attachments. It's the perfect set-up....but how long until Buttercup & Mr. Beautiful start to develop feelings for each-other? Will these demons from their past dominate their growing feelings for each other? 




  
    "I’ve never wanted anyone this much in my life, Bianca. I could fuck you until I’m unconscious. I’d certainly be happy to try."
  


Bianca("Buttercup") was an amazing heroine! She is strong and has overcome immense terror and grief in her short life. While she sometimes frustrated me, I understood where she was coming from and found myself loving her most of the time. James("Mr. Beautiful") has a 'just as troubled and disturbing past' as Bianca, which has shaped him into the controlling Dom that he is. But James wasn't just a controlling Dom. Even though they may have a kinky sex life, he was also very sweet and tender to Bianca. You can truly feel the deep intense feelings he has for her, and I fell for him almost instantly. 


  
    "Taking care of you," he said mildly. "I'm getting you ready for bed right now. And if you start throwing up all of that poison you drank tonight, I'll take you to the bathroom and hold your hair out of your face for you."
  

On a side note, I adore Bianca's best friend/protector Stephan. I ADORE HIM. It is so rare to come across a side character that you love almost as much as the main ones. Stephan is so protective and loving to Bianca. The way that he cries if she cries, rocks her, and takes care of her, made me tear up. I love him and their relationship. Perfection.


  
    "Somebody is smitten with my Buttercup."
  


Overall, In Flight was an amazing read. To me, it was more than just the kinky sex. It was about the love story, the friendships, and the strength in overcoming traumatic pasts. Loved it!!!




  Some Quotes That I Liked:


“If you are having trouble understanding, let me spell it out for you … This is serious, Bianca. I've never been more fucking serious in my life.” 

“I jerked myself off three times in a row just thinking about that little blush you got every time our eyes met. You were so composed, so
professional, but I knew you would submit to me perfectly in bed. Just one look at you, and I was lost.”

“Even masochists need lovers. What would a girl like me do without someone like you? Perhaps everyone is good for someone.” 

“You have such dreams in your eyes.” 

“You can call me Grandpa, if that does it for you.” 

“First he’s sour, then he’s sweet,” I murmured back to him, quoting an old line from a commercial about sour candies.

“In private, though, you may call me Mr. Cavendish” 

“I want you to feel what I’m feeling, Bianca. I want you to feel this uncontrollable need. I can’t stand the thought that you’re indifferent to me.” 

“Oh, yes. You make me absolutely desperate, Bianca. I had never stalked a woman before I met you. I’m carrying a sliced pair of your panties in my pocket right now.” 

“Wear that," he told me.
I didn't protest. It was comfortable enough.
I grabbed a bra and some panties out of my dresser.
He followed me there, digging through the drawer without asking.
"Nice," he said.
"I ordered you a few dozen more pairs. The last line of defense between me and your pussy is bound to take some casualties.”



  
    "I had fallen in love with a perfect lie."
