Superb and Sexy is quite ... Superb!, May 28 2008
By E. D. Mardis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Superb And Sexy (Paperback)
Brody West has the unerring ability to make Maddie Stone mad, frustrated as hell, and inexplicitly drawn to him, even though he was stubborn, stingy with money, overbearing and sexy as hell. He made her feel things, things she had no right to be feeling now that she was leaving Sky High Air, the company that she had helped build, her life and friends. But her twin sister Leena needed her help, needed her to put in action The Plan that they had decided upon years ago, to go away and start a new life far from their Uncle Rick and Stone Cay as they could. Of course Brody wasn't going to let her escape, not since that kiss and his strong attraction to her. Maddie made him angry, stirred things up inside that he'd rather not deal with. While Maddie had come from a life of luxury, empty as it was, Brody had grown up mostly on the streets, fighting for everything he had. It wasn't until he met Noah and Shayne that his dreams of flying began to come to fruition. And now there was Maddie, always Maddie. Independent, intelligent, bossy, beautiful Maddie. And he wasn't about to let her disappear from his life any more than Maddie was going to expose Brody to danger. So what else are two stubborn people going to do? Yes, fall in love, face the bad guys and save the day. I'm not going to belabor the point that Jill Shalvis is a gifted writer, that she has this innate ability to create characters that come alive on the page. I'm just going to say that once again she has written a book with three dimensional characters, full thought out plot lines, and sub-plots that will keep you riveted.

engaging refreshing capital S tale, Jun 1 2008
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Superb And Sexy (Paperback)
Sky High Air concierge receptionist Maddie hides her attraction to brooding pilot owner Brody West partly because of her entangled past and somewhat due to his outrageously flirting with every female except her; he keeps his distance. However, when her twin sister Leena arrives frightened with the need to activate their disappearance plan as Maddie had previously done alone, Brody becomes gravely concerned and intercedes as he wants to help the sisters.
Maddie and Brody pose as a married couple. He shocks her as he knows her intimately when she thought he barely knew she breathed. For Leena's sake Maddie goes back to her past that she fled with Brody at her side. As they fall in love she considers running again while he must persuade her to stay.
The third Sky High Air Sexy with a capital S tale (see SMART AND SEXY and STRONG AND SEXY) is an engaging refreshing entry as Jill Shalvis moves the plot from the air and the airport to the water and ground. The story line is driven by the lead couple who battle and love each other as she chooses flight and he chooses fight. Although the suspense never soars until very late, fans will enjoy this engaging contemporary romance as love takes to the air, earth and sea.

It lives up to its title, Jun 17 2008
By Judy "book reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Superb And Sexy (Paperback)
Jill Shalvis brings her Sky-High Air trilogy to its sensational conclusion in Superb and Sexy.
Maddie Stone concierge for the partners of Sky-High Air has been hiding out ever since she was shot at work. She is slowly recovering but it's not the injury that is keeping her from returning to work. Her twin sister Leena is in deep trouble and Maddie will do anything to protect her sister, including running away from the one man who she has had a crush on for ages.
Brody West pilot and partner have always butted heads with Maddie. When she got hurt at work it tore his heart in two. Then he finds out the real reason she hasn't come back to work he parks himself smack dab in the middle of it. Posing as Maddie's husband to save Leena causes all kinds of feelings he didn't know he had for their tough as nails concierge.
Spending 24/7 as man and wife has Maddie and Brody exploring the feelings they both have kept hiding. Once the danger to Leena passes will they revert back to their old ways?
Superb And Sexy is everything I love in a Jill Shalvis book. It's funny, sassy, a bit of danger and all out sexy. Brody and Maddie's story is well worth the wait, their attraction is stellar and sensual. You can't go wrong picking up a Jill Shalvis book.
