Layover (Open Skies Book 1)
T**Z
Sweet and predictable..
It didn’t take long for me to like Jason. He’s everything I gravitate to in an alpha male. Strong and fit; a knowledgeable BDSM dominant who’s caring and controlling without being arrogant. I especially liked how he didn’t anticipate Libby knocking him off his guard. And he is guarded. It wasn’t by any specific thing she did; it was the attraction and immediate possessive feelings he felt that stops him in his tracks. He swore to himself he’d never trust another woman ever again (after being burned), but now he’s met a woman who not only makes him look twice but isn’t interested in a relationship. She becomes a challenge to him. I really liked Libby. She’s educated, intelligent, and outspoken. I know this author probably described what Jason looks like, but by ch 6 I had forgotten. As in, not a clue. (Reiterating is a good thing BJ. It would’ve came in handy). For instance, “She ran her fingers through his long/short...black/brown/blond hair and looked deep into his blue/hazel/brown/green eyes. This was a good story that held my interest. It’s a simplistic plot with little depth. The break-up drama was a little high school but I liked the characters so much, I forgave that. Any other drama is rushed, short lived and predictable. The bigoted, insensitive, controlling mother reminded me of the father in MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING, but so much worse. I’m not sure if I’ll continue this series but will definitely be watching this author.

Great New Series
I love a series in which the characters show up in each other's stories and it appears that Open Skies is going to be one such series. Four friends who are Flight attendants will be paired with four friends who are former special forces. A spinoff from the wonderful Destiny's Delta. Lucky us! Becca Jameson always adds that little something extra to her characters that makes them unique. In this case it's bias of a parent against anyone who is not of the same nationality and therefore unacceptable as a mate. Interesting stuff! Add in some a lot of sizzle and steaminess, suspense and danger and you've got a captivating romance.Plot your move, scope out the choices, identify your target, go after what you want. That's what Libby Garcia does when she decides to have a one night stand with a military man. Jason Nixon is the guy she's chosen for her plan. Spending the night with Libby certainly wasn't a hardship for him. In fact it was one of the best nights of his life so why did she leave without saying goodbye? Fast forward six months and an unexpected meeting brings Libby and Jason back together. His circumstances may have changed but he's no less dominant than he was before. Dare she give him a chance even though he is completely unacceptable in her mother's eyes? How long will she continue to bend to her mother's will? Keeping their relationship a secret doesn't fly with Jason. Libby has to choose. Does she opt for the man she loves or settle for a man who will make her mother happy?

Layover
3.5 Stars for Layover.. Open Skies is a spin off from Jameson's book in Delta Team Three Series..book two Destiny's Delta. I was looking for to Libby's story she was fun, spoke her mind in Destiny's Delta..this fell short for me in regards to Libby's character that fun feisty character was toned down. Jason aka Hatch is the male lead, he is all alpha, sexy and a Dominant. Libby is a submissive but doesn't see it until Jason brings it out of her. This is not 24/7 D/s relationship between the characters those scenes are reserved for the bedroom or kitchen of Jason's house. Layover has many scenes of sexy time between the sheets. The storyline fell short for me. Stalker who kidnaps Libby then Jason along with his four friends save the damsel. I would of love to see more of that storyline, the rescue scenes could of been more and less of bedroom scenes.This story just doesn't compare to other stories by Jameson in my opinion. The characters in the book intrigue me so I will continue with the series. Happy Reading!!

Combustion!!
It started as a one-night stand… However, when Libby and Jason got together massive fireworks exploded between the two of them in the hotel room. This book contains lots of panty-melting romance, intrigue, adventure, angst, and thankfully, a happy ending. And Becca Jameson knows how to write scenes that will leave you just as hot and bothered as the characters!This book is the first one in a new series. We get a glimpse of some of the other characters in this book. I can’t wait for the next one to be released!I highly recommend this book. It is written by a fabulously talented author!

D/s in bedroom only
Wonderful first book in a series. The relationship between Libby and Jason was only D/s in the bedroom which I think is more realistic. Books which claim D/s 24/7 can be too intense.The kidnapper boyfriend I think was too weak to be running a cartel

No surprises
Loved reading Libby and Jason’s story. Did wonder how long until Libby grew a backbone and talked to her mom. And how long Jason was going to put up with it. Not surprised as to who was Libby’s stocker.

5 Stars
Great start to a new series. It was a tough start for Jason and Libby. They both had problems to overcome and it was a good read. Can't wait for the next in the series.

Great story
I enjoyed reading the start of a new series. Becca knows how to catch the readers attention with just the right amount dominating men and strong women that can hold her own with her man. Loved it.

Really good read
Really enjoyed this story.Libby has a one night stand with Jason at her friends wedding. Unbeknownst to her he is a Dom and awakens something inside her that she didn’t know was there.Jason is pretty peeved that she snuck out the next day as he actually felt something for her.He randomly bumps into her six months later while they’re both on dates. After that they both start up a relationship.Unfortunately Libby’s mum is extremely racist and doesn’t want her daughter dating anyone who isn’t from Guatemalan and Libby’s inability to stand up to her mum and for herself almost has disastrous consequences.Point one: the passion was off the charts hot! I was a bit hot under the collar reading it.I felt really bad for Libby with her situation with her mum. I spent a lot of the book getting so frustrated with her and just willing her to stand up for herself!Jason was a fantastic character.I do wish we got to know more about both of their lives and wish the suspense at the end lasted longer.There was a few typo errors (eg past instead of passed), but nothing that detracted my enjoyment from the book.

Excellent
Meet the ladies from Open Skies flight attendants these were a group of Ladies mentioned in a series from Delta Three Team in the story from Destiny and Trent Dawkins.Please fasten your seatbelts and settle down and relax and enjoy the story between Libby Garcia aka Libertad and Jason Nelson aka Hatch . First time they met was at the dinner rehearsal for Destiny and Trent Dawkins and the story unfolds between them both. Libby Garcia has a fantasy to be with a buff , gorgeous military guy whilst her mother expects different from Libby as her mother plays matchmaker in a sense of approval rather than love . Jason Nelson finishes his time with Delta Team military missions and gets a job with his old boss jake aka Tank in the IT programming . Jason relocates to Dallas and stumbles across Libby Garcia. Without describing all the best qualities of the book highly recommended reading loved the characters and romance and storyline and the journey and twists they both come across.

Is he fixated on children?
It isn't just the physicality of their relationship, but he continuously calls her "baby girl" and "Little one" ad nauseum! It's as if he needs to think of her as a child, which is seriously disturbing and not at all attractive. I wish I could give less than one star, because the writing just isn't there. DNF
