This is a great contemporary romance. The story was very interesting, although it didn’t go into much detail about Ridley’s job. I also thought it was hard to believe Adi was really a model, she just didn’t really fit the image. But I really loved the chemistry between them and Hazel was a sweet bonus. I liked that their relationship grew slowly. It is a clean wholesome romance. It is part of the series, but they are standalone stores and could be read in the order. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
I very much enjoyed this story in the series. Ridley’s daughter is quite adorable but a typical child who does disobey at times. But she develops a close relationship with Adi. Things also develop between Ridley & Adi until he learns of her secret & jumps to the wrong conclusion. It’s too bad there isn’t anything about Ridley’s adventures being a top pilot.
I’m enjoying this Top Flight series. Handsome pilots and intriguing assignments will delight readers.
Recommend to reader who enjoy contemporary romance.
I borrowed a copy through Kindle Unlimited. All views expressed are my honest opinion.
I love this clean “Top Gun” like series! I enjoyed this story and the character development and challenges that they had to overcome! Well done!!
This second book in the Top Flight Series, Bear: A Fighter Pilot Romance, written by Mindy Burbidge Strunk, is a wonderful addition to the series. I loved Adi’s character. Her knowledge, her love for Hazel, her goodness and kindness. She was a great fit for Bear’s character and what he needed after his trials in life. I really enjoyed their sweet and clean love story. It had a perfect ending and resolution to Adi’s problems. I definitely recommend it!

Ridley “Bear” Westoff needs a nanny STAT. Adelene Laurent fills the most important criterion. His daughter, Hazel, adores her. Ridley and Adi navigate the child rearing waters while trying to not give into their strong attraction for each other.
A good clean “top gun” pilot romance about Ridley “Bear” and Adelene, both needing to learn to trust again after having bad relationships, and Bear’s little girl that brings them all together.
This is a beautifully written story with well-developed characters, and I would recommend it/series.
I have loved all of Ms. Burbidge Strunk’s historical books, but I loved this contemporary one just as much. I loved Adi and Ridley’s meet cute. Hazel is a doll and added so much to this story. I enjoyed seeing them put their pasts behind them and finding a HEA together.

4.5
Ridley was discharged from the Top Flight program and is living in a little country with his little girl, Hazel and needs to find a nanny stat.
Adi meets Hazel and Ridley at an art museum. She’s in need of dinero and Ridley offers her the job of nanny.
Recommend.
If there is one thing that Bear (Ridley Westoff) loves more that flying and Top Flight it is his daughter, Hazel. He needs a nanny immediately. Adi (Adelene Laurent) had never been a nanny but she had meet and loved Hazel and being a nanny had to beat being hit on at her barista job. Mindy Burbidge Strunk turns Bear, Hazel and Adi into a “family” without them being aware of it, until disaster strikes. You will find yourself yelling at both the adults. I totally enjoyed this book.
I am impressed with this book. Strunk writes incredible regency books and I am in awe of this modern fighter pilot romance. She seamlessly transitions. Amazing characters and great backstorys with an awesome storyline. I loved it and can’t wait for more.
I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
3.5* This was a fun story – the plot didn’t go the direction I thought it would but it worked out in the end. Characters are solid, even though their development is less nuanced. The timeline skips a little bit farther than I am used to – allowing the relationship to develop over a longer period of time. Great inter-character dynamics.

This was such a fun, light read! Ridley Westoff, a partner at Top Flight, needs to hire a nanny for his daughter and after an impromptu afternoon with Adi, offers her the job. While Ridley is sure his gut his telling him this is the right move, he isn’t sure if he offered her the job solely for his daughter’s sake.
This book was different than the first in the series because it focused more on the interpersonal relationships than the fighter pilot aspect of the plot, but it was worked because it fit the plot and the circumstances. I loved their slow burn relationship and the way Adi and Ridley had to learn to trust each other along the way, albeit with some hiccups.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who enjoys clean contemporary romance and is looking for a fun “beach” read!

This is the first book by Mindy Burbidge StrunK that I have read and I thought it was great! I’m loving reading these books in the Top Flight series. I love the characters and learning their stories. I loved the interaction between Ridley and his daughter and I loved how he followed his gut when choosing Adelene to be his daughter’s nanny. I loved how the relationship blossomed between Adelene and Ridley. I love how Mindy made her characters believable and relatable. I also loved how they overcame the misunderstanding that they had at the end of the book and how they learned that to trust each other. Great book and I’m looking forward to the other books in this series!
