\"Fireflies<\/a>Fireflies by Lise Gold<\/b> is a contemporary romance about a captain and senior purser who met on their first scheduled flight together.<\/p>\n

Mia Donoghue is a senior purser for an airline, burying herself in her work to try and forget about the guilt that she\u2019s been carrying with her for fifteen years.<\/p>\n

Captain Ava Alfarsi had just been promoted, and many are surprised because she\u2019s a woman and young for a captain.<\/p>\n

When Mia and Ava first meet, there\u2019s an instant attraction, but only become closer to one another when they find out that they struggle with alcoholism through a chance encounter during an AA meeting. Although they\u2019ve been sober for some time, keeping it a secret from their family and friends is hard and weighs heavily on their minds.<\/p>\n

Will they be able to be each other\u2019s strength and support or be each other\u2019s downfall?<\/p>\n

Pros And My Favourite Parts<\/b><\/h3>\n

Lise Gold did a great job navigating her way of writing about sensitive topics like drug use and addiction to alcohol. I could feel the struggle that these two characters were facing. For instance, keeping a secret from their family and friends about being a recovering alcoholic has them avoiding most social gatherings.<\/p>\n

I love that the characters are flawed rather than perfect, it makes them more relatable and real that way. It was interesting to see the behind-the-scenes of an airline during a flight, there were some fun aspects, informative and some shocking ones.<\/p>\n

The character growth that Ava and Mia go through was well written. Yes, there are some ups and downs, twists and turns, but most importantly, they\u2019ve learned to fight their demons and have grown stronger as individuals and as a couple as a result.<\/p>\n

Cons And Heads Up<\/b><\/h3>\n

I do want to give a heads-up to readers that there are references to the use of drugs and alcohol addiction. There are also some light BDSM elements like being tied up.<\/p>\n

The Conclusion<\/b><\/h3>\n

Not only does the author take you on a journey literally from place to place, like New York, Dubai, and Kuala Lumpur, but the journey that Ava and Mia take together emotionally as a couple as well as on their own. Besides the main characters, the supporting characters were a great addition to the book. Overall, Fireflies was a lovely read.<\/p>\n

Excerpt from Fireflies by Lise Gold<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u201cHi Captain. It\u2019s nice to meet you.\u201d Mia handed Jack his tray and held out her hand to formally greet her.<\/p>\n

The captain studied her name tag and shook her hand. \u201cMia, of course. You\u2019re the senior purser. It\u2019s a pleasure to meet you. I\u2019m Ava Alfarsi. Please call me Ava.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mia noticed that the captain looked relaxed, now that she was safely tucked away in her cockpit. She felt an unusual flutter in her belly when their eyes locked.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay, Ava. I\u2019ll be back in an hour with Frank\u2019s lunch, and in two hours with yours. Is that okay?\u201d Food for the tech crew was never served at the same time, to prevent a food-poisoning outbreak, so the cabin crew had a strict schedule to adhere to when it came to flight deck service.<\/p>\n

Ava held her gaze before retracting her hand. It was an elegant hand, like the hand of a piano player, or an artist, with long fingers, short polished nails and a slender wrist.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s great, thank you,\u201d she said. \u201cCould I have an extra water too, please? Sparkling, if possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSure.\u201d Mia smiled as she looked into Ava\u2019s green eyes. They were so light, they seemed almost otherworldly. For a moment, she forgot what she was there for. Ava\u2019s hair was shimmering under the light above her, and she looked much more approachable now, without the formal uniform cap she was wearing earlier. Her skin was unusually pale compared to her jet dark hair, with only a small natural blush on her high cheekbones. She looked like she was of Middle Eastern descent, Mia thought. Wow. She really is gorgeous.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d Mia shook her head and turned to the senior officers. \u201cFrank? Can I get you anything else? Jack?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWater for me too.\u201d Frank held up a hand. \u201cSparkling with lemon, a dash of elderflower cordial and two ice-cubes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ava turned to him, raised an eyebrow and let out a sarcastic laugh. \u201cLeave the damn lemon and elderflower, Frank. I\u2019m sure Mia\u2019s got better things to do than to prepare your girlie drinks.\u201d She regretted the words as soon as they were out \u2013 the half joke would do her no favours with Frank, but she didn\u2019t like his tone when he was talking to Mia. She looked up at Mia again, her eyes fixed on her face, as if she was trying to read her mind. Mia stood nailed to the ground, unable to look away. There was something about the captain\u2019s intense stare that scared her and intrigued her at the same time.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, of course. I\u2019m sorry. Just water is fine,\u201d Frank said with a sour face, interrupting their moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be sorry.\u201d Mia stepped away from them and turned at the cabin door. \u201cIt\u2019s not a problem. I\u2019ll be back in an hour.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd another black coffee for me!\u201d Jack said, as he tried to wave her back. But Mia was gone and had forgotten he was even there.<\/p>\n
