She’s got to tell him about the bun in her oven, but she’s still wishing that the pregnancy tests were duds. While they cover a story about a deposed dictator, they’re trapped in a runaway hot air balloon. Will they plummet to their death? Will these friends turned lovers admit their love for each other? And most importantly, will they figure out how to have sex in a balloon basket?

Funny & Sweet with a little twist!

This is the refreshing, short story of Millie and Cade. They have known each other since kindergarten, and now are rival journalists. The two end up in a hot air balloon trying to scoop a story with a known terrorist and end up being "blown away". Elise Sax's sense of humor is infectious, it's so easy to get caught up in the banter between Millie and Cade, and to see their true feelings. With Millie carrying a secret with her that will change their lives, their obvious love for each other and their impending doom, this book flies by with smiles and laughs.

Angie Hickman is the perfect narrator for this story. She has a lilt in her voice that gives the perfect inflections for the book, finding the humor in all the right places. I love her pace and voices and enjoyed her performance.

Full of Laughs

I've loved every book by Elise Sax that I have ever listened to and Blown away is another to add to that list. Throughout the entire story I am either laughing or smiling and loving the sense of humor no matter what the situation. If you need a laugh this book will definitely give you one. Angie does a wonderful job narrating and helps make it even funnier.

Loved It!

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. The narrator did a wonderful job with this book. The narrator did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end. If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Hilarious!

This was my first Elise Sax's book and won't be the last. This story is hilarious! I love the two main characters, Millie and Cade. Millie is feisty and Cade is so sweet and protective! This story is fast-paced, with a little suspense. The narration is also great and easy to listen. I can't wait to listen to the next book in the Series.

Good listen

Millie and Cade grew up together and one night of drunken sex has led to an unexpected pregnancy. They disagree about everything and this story makes you want to choke them both with their arguments. They have to fight for their lives and argue even about how to do it. Good Narration. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

I ♡ Hickman

I love Angie Hickman Reading this series. She puts the right amout of silly crazy into her narration. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Sweet short story

This was an easy listen that kept me entertained. I would have loved a longer story with more interaction between the two main characters to build up their relationship.

Hilarious!!!

These books, this author, and this narrator are all 5 stars! I cant wait for the next book. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

A Ripping Comedy

What wonderful characters who find themselves in some outrageous circumstances. How Millie and Cade annoy each other so much, yet when the chips are down, display their love for one another by taking risks to protect each other. Definitely deserves more than 5 stars.

Light, funny and enjoyable with a hint of absurd!

This isn't a story about meeting a soulmate and falling in love. No, not at all. This is a quirky snapshot of the time inbetween when an old friend makes the transition to lover and things go potentially wrong. It is funny, wild and wacky but also a little unrealistic (but it fits in with this type of story). The characters are also funny and quirky but loveable just the same.

Elise Sax's books, narrated by Angie Hickman are well performed absurd-ish rom-coms. Just a little warning: watch out if you listen while walking around town because you may find yourself laughing out loud and people may look at you funny.
