The first night I met Gillian Taylor, she claimed she was a pilot. Then she claimed she worked for a “private airline.”I knew right then and there that she was lying to me, and that sexy as hell or not, she was the type of woman I needed to avoid.Still, after a pleasurable one night stand, I was certain we’d never see each other again. That we didn’t need to see each other again. Until I saw her … didn’t need to see each other again.
Until I saw her in an airport a few weeks later…
Until I realized that we were both assigned to work the same flight.
She was the flight attendant.
I was the pilot.
Those two facts should’ve cemented the main reason why we needed to keep things professional and follow the rules, but I couldn’t stay away from her, and our forbidden affair was about to get far more turbulent than I’d ever imagined.

Ahhhh I loved it! Gah, so good!
Jake was such a huge dick throughout most of the book. #dontbeadick But you know what, he pulled it off and by the middle of the book, I was totally in love with him. Let’s face it, his and Gillian’s relationship is chaotic, so many ups and downs. I almost wanted to put them in a time out! Oh and the angst is strong up in here, I loved every freaking minute of it. Great story line. Great characters. Just a whole bunch of greatness all around! Eek!
I devoured this book. Hell yeah I did! I was up reading it until 2:30 am, I just couldn’t stop and it was hard to put down. Although the ending felt a wee bit rushed and I would’ve loved an epilogue, but whatevs, this was still an awesome book.
We missed you Whitney G.
THIS BOOK. This book right here. You have to read it. Period. I laughed out loud at this guy so many freaking times. I fell in love with him. Jake is amazing. And Gillian? An actual woman who doesn’t actually whine. I loved her, too! I will now have to back up and read everything in Whitney G. has out there. I subscribed to her newsletter immediately after finishing. Whitney G. is now one my favorite author list joining Kit Rocha, Kate Canterbary, and Kylie Scott. I could not put this down. I had to share the hysterical, sarcastic comebacks with friends all day long! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry (if you’re a sucker like me, anyway), you’ll fall in love! Can’t say enough good things about Turbulence.
This book… Thiiiiissss booook!
Oh my god. I adored this! I absolutely love Whitney G.’s writing. It’s so effortless and draws you right in. Whilst it took me a little bit to really get into the story, once I did, it’s all I thought about. I needed to live, eat and breathe Jake and Gillian’s story. These two were so hot Jake made me laugh on numerous occasions and I loved them navigating their messy “non” relationship.
Thoroughly recommend to anyone who loves hot, forbidden romances
Hands down one of the best books I have ever listened too! Not only is the story phenonmenal, but the narration is top notch! Jake and Gillian’s story is off the hook! Hot as hell and so full of twists and turns! I can not believe I never read this sooner! It has firmly taken a place on my “read before you die” shelf! And I mean it’s one of the best! I enjoyed every single minute of this book!
Wow! Just wow!
This book is among my favorites because of the two main characters. They didn’t always seem perfect for each other but in the end they were.
If you love alpha heros with a heart of gold underneath, then this book is for you!
Turbulence is witty banter done right, with hot sex and engaging characters who just can’t get enough of each other. I like the fact that the plot isn’t linear, it’s all over the place. It goes from past to present seemingly willy nilly, but is actually in a well thought out way. Gillian and Jake are an airline attendant and a pilot respectively, who meet at a party and indulge in a hot one night stand. They end up in a relationship of sorts, an arrangement if you will, that works for awhile until Gillian decides she can’t live with it the way it is – with Jake not opening up and making her feel like she’s really not important. Jake comes across as a cold, emotionally detached asshole and he is, but he has good reason for it. If only he’d tell Gillian his good reason.
I absolutely fell in love with Gillian, she’s sweet and funny and adorable. Jake I loved slightly less, but he’s no less engaging than Gillian. He’s a sexy alpha guy, with a dirty mouth who doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve. He doesn’t even like to think he has a heart, but he does, he just doesn’t like admitting to its existence. I really felt for him when it’s revealed why he is the way he is, he’s had it pretty rough.
I highly recommend you check out Turbulence, it’s Whitney at her best!
Oh my God! I honestly don’t know what to say. This book is just WOW! It is more than I’ve ever expected (and I expected a lot).
Whitney took my heart with this book and didn’t give it back anymore. It is definitely one of the best books I’ve ever read! Whitney outdid herself with this one.
It was the best flight of my life! So get ready for boarding 😉
You get sucked in and can’t let go until it is finished. I couldn’t concentrate on anything else except to finish this amazing book. So be prepared to dedicate all your time to this book because you won’t be able to stop.
The main characters Jake and Gillian are just awesome! Nothing about them is clique or ordinary. I fell in love with them immediately. And Jake is just H-O-T and even better with his funny and sexy remarks. Together they are just amazing and really funny to read.
The whole book is funny, sexy and doesn’t leave out to surprise you when you least expect it. It is really emotional and definitely a must-read!
Thousand flying stars for the best book of 2016 and I’m sure for a lot of years more! #FavouriteBookEver
And the next book of hers is definitely on my have-to-read list.
WOW! Turbulence is such a fitting name for this wild ride of a read! I couldn’t decide if I loved or hated Jake Weston throughout most of the story, which truly says a lot about Whitney G’s writing. I truly felt extreme angst, passion, anger, lust, loss, heartbreak, and love, which is a rare thing for me. Normally, I read and the character’s emotions are their own. I can empathize and imagine how they feel, but it doesn’t get visceral for me. But not this little gem, it jumped in my body and gave me ALL THE FEELS! Gillian is so normal and relatable that you forget she isn’t just your bestie sharing this saga with you. THEN when she meets Jake, she is the friend you are super jelly of and wish you could be for a day/night/layover and you are so happy for her. 7 FREAKING STARS!!! YES!!! The steam is off the freaking charts like might melt your phone kinda thing, but the plot is SO there as well! Totally my most favorite read of the month!! This is by far my favorite Whitney G. book to date!!
Mr. Weston, the character, did his best to make sure no one liked him. That was part of his charm. Gillian had to really read between the lines to find something tolerable about him, but their shared carnal appetite kept them tolerating one another.
Their first rendezvous after meeting at a party is one of the best “one night stand” encounters I can remember reading. It certainly highlighted the kind of “crazy” that enabled Gillian to see the qualities Jake had that were not immediately apparent.
Once Jake’s secrets start taking shape, you’ll realize how more there is to this book than just the romance. There are quite a few twists that hit a high mark for creativity.
The only thing I did not like was the nonlinear timeline for the story. Not only was it not linear, it also jumped around through time in a way that led to confusion rather than clarity. Don’t let that put you off from what is otherwise a really good book.
Oh my Gosh…!!!!
I Absolutely LOVED,LOVED,LOVED this story.
What else can I say.
Whitney G’s writing is Amazing and this story had me hooked between Jake and Gillian,they are like a whirlwind of passion and sexual chemistry.
But also their relationship was a messy one and complicated and whitney shot me a curveball at the end,I never even guessed Gillian did what she did.
I LOVED Jake he is as sexy as sin honestly I had to fan myself a few times because this book is HOT !!
But he is also emotionally stunted and very moody,and only seems to communicate by Sex,he meets Gillian and its an unusal meeting really.But their chemistry is FIRE !!
Honestly I won’t rehash the storyline,just know that this is a MUST READ For me I really enjoyed it and I was totally awestruck by Whitney’s words.
I highly recommend this fabulous story.
5 Incredible Stars.
I rarely like the “jerk” kind of hero, but there was just something about Jake. I wouldn’t say he was funny, and yet I did laugh at some of his jerk comments. I will say that it did get old after a while. It just dragged on a bit too long. I wanted to see him soften to Gillian sooner.
I liked Gillian as well, but some of her reactions just didn’t seem believable. Jake was so convincing in his jerkiness that I find it strange she thinks she can call him up and just chat when he was very clear about what their time together was about. I didn’t buy it but it did get them to that bit of more she craved. I think the flow of that just felt a bit off.
Overall, I did really like this book/audiobook. It just had a few small unconvincing moments in it. The narrators Erin Mallon and Joe Arden are a couple of my favorite narrators so they get a thumbs up.
Jake , Jake Jake !!! I love Jake soo much . Alpha as$$holes do it for me ! Jake and Gillian had so much chemistry . He’s the pilot , she’s the stewardess . Gillian is so feisty I loved her . I loved their first meeting . I don’t enjoy rom com’s . But Whitney has a way of combining some funny moments with some heavy drama and I love it . I adore her dirty talking alphas . The characters are fleshed out and the story pulls you in right in from the beginning
I loved this book! If you love an alpha male who can’t let go of his strong, independent heroine… this is the book for you and no one writes it better than Whitney G! Be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions. I am writing this after a recent reread! Just couldn’t get enough. Andrew Hamilton in Reasonable Doubt is still my favorite alpha male clinger, but Mr. Weston is so much fun to read!
Whitney G writes a dirty-talking alpha and smart heroines like no other. And the banter is to die for!
This book had me from the first! Like a grip on my heart that wouldn’t let me go! From the lies that fly out of her mouth, the fights they had, and oh my gosh, the sex! The make up sex, the angry sex, their feelings for each other were all over the place! From her showing him his own condo! Who does that, her sass! I adored Gillian and I craved Jake like a drug. I absolutely couldn’t put the books down, I read them non stop till the end. I was flying out of Las Vegas airport the next day after reading it and all I could imagine was their trysts all over the airports, construction areas, bathrooms, closets, and looking at the pilots and stewardesses in a totally different light. I loved how Jake had absolutely total disregard for the rules. He didn’t give a rip and that is such a total Alpha trait and such a turn on. We all want a Jake. That would fly from a layover in Hawaii to Las Angeles just to spend a night with you. He is the total package. The epilogue is perfect. I will be rereading this book over and over again.
This was an epic romance, filled with a roller coaster of emotions.
Gillian Taylor and gorgeous alpha male Jake Weston had a turbulent romance!!
I loved this beautiful romance. I highly recommend it, I listened to it on Audible and Joe Arden and Erin Mallon narrated the story!!!
Great book!!
Jake, was emotional unavailable for any women around the world, with so many problems and a past that keeps creeping into his life, he only wants to sleep around but never compromise.. he was handsome, sexy and great in bed.. he was a pilot and also a millionaire.. with a hidden past that just a few knew..
Gillian was trying to get rid of her family shadow.. she only wanted to be successful in what she loved the most. working in two jobs, living in a not so fancy apartment and sometimes even trespassing some of her employers property, her life is complicated, her family doesn’t even care about her dreams and never support her and her boyfriend keeps cheating on her..
After finding her boyfriend has been cheating on her, Gillian, takes the advice of her bestfriend… never having a one night stand, Gillian takes the challenge thinking this will help her to be more adventurous and meet other men.. but she never thought she was about to meet him, and that her life was about to change forever..
one night that lead her and him to the most epic love…
Jake is convinced that everybody is a liar and cheater, he cant trust anyone, he prefers to leaves his life as it is, alone, without letting anybody In.. but nothing is written and life is about to change…
This is a love story that takes some time to built.. both characters are fighting with a past and a future that seems always trying to bring them down.. but as we continue reading the story, we get to understand more about their fears and past problems.. Jakes family made some moves that really affected Jakes life.. Gillians Family too, trying to emotionally sabotage her at all times… both need to fight their demons as is the only way they will finally be able to be together..
great story, the characters where amazing, i love how we get to see how much they needed each other but always tried to denied their feelings.. the sex was off the chart and the dirty talk was hot..
lots of funny moments, i really recommend this book..
Looking forward to read more books by Whitney G..
This plane crashed, bounced, crashed, bounced again and crashed into a deep abyss.
Did I say plane? I meant relationship- no wait, can’t use that word. This “thing”.
This “thing” is a hot mess of emotions, chaos, and crashes. Emotional crashes, nasty fights, amazingly hot sex. Did I mention the hot sex?!
Do not read in public. Blushing and possible moans are to be expected.
Seriously, this book had me hating, planning a voodoo doll, loving, hurting, and wanting to junk punch.
Why must I fall for the unattainable a–holes of the world? Honestly, I don’t care. I loved every angsty minute of this book- thing.
I love the big jerk in his sexy pilot uniform. I love his wounded self. I love his f@ck off vibe and his filthy, filthy mouth. I love the hours of pleasure…
Perhaps you would enjoy it best, if you read it…
Sorry in advance Jake for the grammar and ellipses usage!
Turbulence is an incredible read. No doubt you won’t be able to put it down so plan accordingly.
Erotic.
