Love in the Air is a cute romance story. It's interesting and charming but not my favorite. Really typical of this type of story. It's an okay read. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Love in the air by Gaby Cooper is I hope the first in a series of books featuring Gramercy, NY where Pan Carlisle has come home to help save her father's business Old Gramercy Aerodrome. I enjoyed this book and having just watched a movie recently about the Lafayette Escadrille when young men joined the French military as pilots before we entered WWI. This was similar so I gave this book 4.9 stars.

He has WWI airplanes in a museum plus more Bi planes and aircraft in various degrees of assembly. But if she doesn't figure out a way to make money she'll have to sell everything and shut down. She grew up around airplanes all of her life but once she graduated from high school she set her eye on becoming a photographer. With her father's health starts to decline Pan will come home to try and figure out how to save the museum.

Kirby Knowles was a Kiowa pilot in Afghanistan when a RPG takes down his copter and injuring both him and his navigator. He comes home to Virginia and as a favor to his father who served with Pan's father. Little does he know that between himself, Pan and her friends where they recreate the movie Wings (1927 ) about WWI pilots and their dogfight. When they say it takes a village this book shows that it will take family, friends, farmers to help save the Aerodrome.

Love in the Air is a sweet story about airplanes, and saving a vintage aircraft museum. There just happens to be a side story with a small bit of romance. We open with a scene from the war in Afghanistan, and cut straight to New York where our heroine finds out that her father's air museum is in dire financial straits. The entire book is peppered with bits of history of aircraft in battles and pilots. Although that is interesting, it seems to take the place of real character development. I was surprised by the speed at which Pan and Kirby's relationship developed because I wasn't privy to when they found time to actually like each other. I was also caught off guard by Kirby's resolution to his wanderlust issue. This was a nice story with real, interesting facts, but I was left wanting in the relational development area.

Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Unfortunately this novel was not as good as described. I got through 50% of the book and it still hadn't heated up between Pan and Keirby. They had zero chemistry and only had their love for planes in common. Disappointing.
