Publisher's summary

Book 2 of the in the Up In The Air trilogy.

James and Bianca's tumultuous story continues in the sequel to In Flight.

James has initiated Bianca into a dark and drugging world of passion and pain. He taught her about her own submissive, masochistic nature, and she fell swiftly and deeply in love with the undeniably charming and impossibly beautiful Mr. Cavendish, but a painful misunderstanding and the return of the brutally violent demons of her past have combined to overwhelm Bianca, and, confused and hurt, she pushes him away.

It's been over a month since the shocking attack that hospitalized her, and since she told a distraught James that she needed space, but her feelings haven't gone away. Even she knew that it was only a matter of time before he would cast his spell on her again...

This book is intended for ages 18 and up.

Worthy of a credit? 👍🏻

The love story between Bianca and James continues in Mile High - Book 2 of the Up In The Air series by R.K. Lilley. ✈️

Finally, it seems Bianca is warming up to the idea of being more committed to James than she originally planned. He is slowly wearing down her defenses and she is finding herself more and more drawn to his world. Between James’ past lovers who keep trying to come between them and two new relatives who Bianca just learns of, will their new love ever get off the ground? You will have to wait for book 3 to find out.

Elizabeth Powers, did a much better job narrating on book 2. I was not distracted hearing her voice this time as I was before. Well done!

Once again, R.K. Lilley has a written a good story. I find myself really connecting with the characters and feeling empathy towards them. When Bianca was confronted in the ladies restroom by Jules and Jolene, I found myself wishing I could be there to help defend her. Bravo!

The only criticism I can see is the frequent misuse of dual pronouns as the subject. Sometimes we want to say, “Him and me will . . .” or “Him and I will . . . .” You can remember the correct pronouns by saying each pronoun alone in the sentence. It probably won’t sound right to you to say, “Him will . . .” or “Me will . . . .” I’m curious why the editor didn’t catch it. This has always been a pet peeve of mine. Sorry! 😐

Yes, I believe this is worthy of a credit 👍🏻, but buckle up because there is one more in the series.

I have such a hard time pausing this book. The story line is fun, intriguing and very hot. But, big but here, the reader is perfect. I really dont think the story would be the same without her. Downloading #3 now. eeeeeeeeeee!!!!

I must say this trio of books are in my top 20 of sexy series. Hot narration and different plot twist. not to mention all the hot sex.

Worth Miles more than 5 Stars! Total Excellence

Any additional comments?

I just read this new series (only book 1 and 2 out so far) and Loved It - STEAMY in capitals! Ok first things first, I LOVE the characters in this series. If you loved 50 Shades and Bared to you you will love this book. I know a lot of women swooned after Christian Grey but did you really identify with Ana Steele? Well I definitely identified with Bianca Karlsson. She’s strong and definitely the one holding the reins. As for James Cavendish….wowza! He’s a mix of Christian Grey and Gideon Cross and definitely my new book boyfriend ;) very alpha, possessive, dominant male. So what’s the book about? First all of its Erotic Romance. A genre i love. Its about a first class flight attendant Bianca Karlsson who meets a billionaire hotel owner James Cavendish. They both have their demons but are instantly attracted to each other, mostly because of their clear sexual..erm…predilection. Why did i love love LOVE it? Again, the characters were believable, the girl was strong and the man was sooo swoon worthy but also so honest! Plus the sex scenes were crazy steamy! It was just such a joy to listen to this book and can't wait for the conclusion of this trilogy to be released on Audible...

Great story.. mediocre narration

I love the storyline of these books. I have listened to books by this narrator before and have had the same issues. You can hear her swallow and things happening in the background that are distracting. I don’t know if it’s production costs or just the way she does it. I have noticed it in every book she’s narrated.

love it

loved it. can't wait to get my hands on book 3. best trilogy ever. I'm so happy with this book

Mile High

Totally hooked on the story line though I think Bianca's issues are becoming boring! Absolutely love Stephan and James.
Can't wait to listen to book3

OMG BDSM Makes You Soar!

James and Bianca’s story continues from where it left off and there is no slide away from drama. I listened to the first book and could not wait for audible to get the second so bought the other two books. Then went and bought the audible version as well. This story is awesome. There is nothing dull about it. I like how Bianca struggles to accept her sexual preferences and does not just go on blindly. I also like how James has to work for her to accept him and his BDSM lifestyle. Although she is head over heels for him she still struggles with relationships. The sex scenes are steamy and definitely get your heart racing. James is strong and bold and knows what he wants and is not willing to accept no for an answer. He can be an egotistical asshole but in the end you still fall hard for him. This book is a great combination of sex, romance, and domination and still has a plot. You will not be disappointed in this series.

OMG this COMPLETELY blew book 1 out of the water!!

Wow..Oh...Wow...I'm not kidding when I say the sequel completely blew the first book out of the water!!! For some reason, I just couldn't connect with these characters in the first book. I almost didn't continue with the sequel but now I'm sure glad I did.The story begins around one month after the events of the first book, In Flight, it picks up with the drama straight away, with James and Bianca still struggling with their tumultuous relationship. They both still want each other, badly, but Bianca has issues with the relationship side. So, she is taking a break from James while trying to collect her thoughts & pull herself together. Being with James is scary for her. He's the only man she's ever had feelings for and she can't think clearly when he's near her. At times, I did find Bianca a bit more irritating & frustrating in this book rather than the first. And James Cavendish, you have slowly won me over & rocked my world! Let me just take a minute to fan my self....whew! Hot, Delicious, Smexy man!! His character was definitely more engaging in this book less abrasive. We see a softer deeper side of him. James is full on head over heals in love with her in this book. He wants her so badly and will not stop until he gets what he desires from her. His feelings for Bianca run extremely deep. When she finally acquiesces and allows herself to meet up with James at a party the sparks ignite and their relationship moves quickly. Of course, this is mostly due to James and I wouldn't have expected any less! He is certainly the man who knows what he wants and will go ALL OUT to make it happen.However, he has a ton of work ahead of him trying to get Bianca to open up and see the relationship for what it is. Yes, James is still controlling and dominant, he mostly keeps it restricted to the bedroom, although he is bossy and involves himself in Bianca’s life in any way that he can. But, this is fiction, it’s expected from him, and we love it! And he seems to know what she needs. I did find some of their behaviour together a little strange (the undressing, bathing, and then there’s the other side with the punishment stuff), but I guess it did works for them. Regardless, their chemistry is absolutely palpable as well as in the BDSM element. The steamy scenes in this book are even more SIZZLING HOT in this book than the last. Actually, there were some very unique sex time moments. (I did eye roll during one but it was still entertaining). I really liked the BDSM in this one. It wasn't too much and didn't feel overwhelming. Overall, the story focused on Bianca & James' relationship as they deal with past partners, jealously, paparazzi and some revelation regarding her family towards the end. And this is when I share how much I HATE FREAKING CLIFFHANGERS!!! So, as you can guess the drama continues with Bianca’s family and James’ exes, and with particular storylines that were left undone and twists uncovered, I’m looking forward to seeing further developments in the next book. In fact, I'm very anxious for Audible to release the 3rd book Grounded! For me Mile High was the perfect combo of sex, sex, sex *wink* wink*, love and domination. James really lit up the pages keeping us fully in tune to his dominating ways. Bianca was the perfect submissive learning that with James she's exactly where she's suppose to be. For a sequel, I was extremely impressed, and I felt as though the author did a superb job of keeping the story spicy and interesting. The character development ans pace were great. I would absolutely recommend this series.
