One more bloody time I see the word, "Love", I will smack someone. Geez, the word "Love" (what James calls Bianca) and "an arch look" is WAY OVERUSED.

Okay, so this book was awful. Everything about the relationship between James and Bianca read as downright abusive. I hated how jealous and possessive James acted with literally no provocation, and how Bianca simply gave in to him after having stated her preferences when they didn't agree. Also, it was enormously creepy how James had people going into her house to add clothes or new computers or whatever, and the way that Bianca's supposed best friend encouraged it to happen.
Also, I really despised the way that even though all the drama seemed to centre around James's past relationships, and Bianca seemed to pay for them endlessly, it was always Bianca reassuring James. And the way that he literally tied her down while having a conversation about his past relationships made me throw up in my mouth a little.
I really don't think Lilley has any understanding of what a healthy BDSM relationship is supposed to be (not that I necessarily do, but even I know that it's not supposed to be one partner demanded things from the other and the other giving all the time. It's still a relationship.)
This book did manage rather spectacularly to make me want to throw my iPad across the room on several occasions, but it did not make me want to buy the third one to read, not even as a hate read. The characters in this are all flat, but flat in a way that's deliberately misleading when it comes to healthy relationships between consenting adults, BDSM or not.
Also, there were a slew of grammatical and spelling errors in this. With the content being such utter shit, you'd think they'd make a point of making sure the grammar and spelling was at least correct.
In short, there's no reason to read this book. I started it as a hate read, but in the end, it wasn't even enjoyable in a soap opera-ish way. This is just fucking awful on every level.

some hot sex scenes and I am totally in love with Mr Cavendish but Bianca was really getting on my nerves in this book and every time I read "long minutes" I wanted to scream. I did find it hard to put down, but I was getting so irritated with Bianca it kind of ruined the book a bit for me.

"Mile High" is the second book in the "Up in the Air" series by R.K. Lilley and, just like with the first book, I'm giving this one four out of five possible stars.
The story's still interesting but there's something about lead character Bianca that's beginning to irritate me. I get about everyone having their own personal hang-ups but this girl seems to have more than her fair share. She's overly defensive about waaay too many things and she obviously can't seem to fully accept or deal with James' past since she seems to assume that almost every woman they come across has slept with the guy.
James has somewhat improved in this sequel, though he can be overbearing AND overly protective. Yes, I know he's a dominant some of the stuff he does OUTSIDE the bedroom can be quite stifling.
As always, Stephan saves the day. I really like this character. He may be scarred but he seems to have chosen to focus on creating a better future for himself while living in the present. Bianca could seriously learn a thing or two from him.
And with that...on to the third book!

I was excited to read the second book, because the first one ended on a cliffhanger. This one also was good, but somehow James felt too controlling and over the top protective. Understandable but a bit too much, bordering on smothering Bianca. Otherwise quite okay if you dont count all the exes that popped up like mushrooms after rain.
