Fly In, Fly Out
After months working on an oil rig in the Atlantic Ocean, engineer Jo Blaine can't wait to get home. But when she walks through her front door to find an unexpected man in her house, she's tempted to head straight back out to sea. Stephen Hardy has always felt guilty for the part he played in Jo's leaving home years earlier and jumps at the chance to make amends. He finally convinces Jo to let him look after her apartment and by the time she leaves for her next shift, they're both eagerly anticipating her return. But balancing family and friends with a new relationship when you're never around is tricky, and Jo is also keeping secrets about her past. After a lifetime of taking care of herself, Jo isn't used to sharing her problems—especially when they involve her messy family history. Picking up the pieces every time she comes home is getting harder, and Jo begins to wonder if a fly-in fly-out lifestyle is really worth it.

** Read as the re-release under the Evie Snow banner **
What an enjoyable way to spend a few hours was Fly In Fly Out.
Childhood traumas, long distance relationships, finding a way back to trusting again - Stephen and Jo's story has a bit of it all.
I enjoyed the banter between all the characters. I laughed out loud at times, I screamed in frustration at others.
I loved watching Jo and Stephen come together through all their turmoils, the struggles with maintaining a long distance relationship. I got annoyed at times with Jo keeping her secrets when all people want to do is help her. I could understand why, but it still didn't stop my being annoyed lol.
I loved the Australian setting, though I haven't been to that side of my country yet! I will get there one day!
A good, enjoyable read.

My review:
An easy read. Storyline involving abusive father and turbulent childhood. Predictable romance with a happy ending but all in all an enjoyable way to spend time.
