Blue Skies

De: Robyn Carr

Narrado por: Therese Plummer

Nikki Burgess survived a terrible marriage and a worse divorce. She's just about given up hope of ever finding happiness. But when her ex-husband suddenly dies, she gets custody of her kids again - and a chance to start over. Dixie McPherson, on the other hand, has had way too much love. She has 11 tennis bracelets, dozens of trinkets, piles of sexy lingerie, and a tarnished reputation when all she ever wanted was true love, a partner, and a family. Carlisle Bartlett is loyal, kindhearted, and the funniest guy slinging drinks in the back of an airplane. But he has an ugly little secret. The only kind of love he's used to comes with bruises. When Nikki, Dixie, and Carlisle are offered the chance to join a new airline in Las Vegas, they don't hesitate. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, these three friends are going in search of their own blue skies.

Robyn Carr and the years after 9-11

Robyn Carr does a great deal of research for her books, I’m sure, but for Blue Skies, she has done an exceptional amount! Her blend of fact and fiction strikes a “good read” balance! As always, I enjoy her characters, at least the good guys! Thanks Robyn Carr!

Blue Skies

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story was informative and the characters were interesting.

Quite different — in a good way!

Perhaps it’s largely because I grew up flying — was a “pilot’s brat”, but I really enjoyed this one, set in flying world within the several years post-09/11. As she does always, Robyn Carr thoroughly researches the settings, details, characters she decides to bring us. I really especially enjoyed the unusual characters for this one — & of course, for me, the many interesting details re pilots, setting up an airline business interface of huge changes! Good book!

A. Great Read

I have read every Robyn Carr book I can get my hands on but this is my all time favourite.

Enjoyable

A light, happily ever after story based on the dynamics of the airline industry and the interpersonal relationships of three individuals. Although I enjoyed this listen it is not one of Robyn Carr’s best. Well narrated.

Would make a good TV series

With Holly Hunter as the main character. That’s what I was picturing as I was listening to the book. I loved her in the movie ALWAYS and at times the book reminded me of that movie.

It took me a couple chapters to get into it. I actually stopped listening to it, listened to another book, then came back to it.

The narrator’s male voices were a little difficult to differentiate. I feel bad criticizing because it’s not like I could do better. Overall I did like the narrator. I think I just had to get use to her.

sequel please!

My only complaint is: no sequel. The secondary characters are strong enough for more stories.

It was entertaining

This wasn't the best book ever but it also wasn't the worst.. cute story, the narrator did a good job and th
ats probably one of the most important things for me.. I would say if you're looking for a light hearted cute story you'll enjoy this book

Best narrator ever!!!

I love the strength of the female characters in all Carr’s books! I have binged so many of them over the past few months.

Airplanes

I really liked that the characters worked for an airline. He gave some new wrinkles. Also there was no graphic sex scene.
