I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a little bit difficult to engage in the story at the beginning but going beyond the chapter 4, everything had changed and it became a real pleasure reading it.
Plowed Over (On The Wing 2) is an interesting story. I liked the variety of characters who were well designed what keep readers wanting more from the author.

Happy (the main character), her dog Steppie and her friends are adorable; I really liked the way they were taking care of her. She is part of a witness protect program and she has to do all things what she can to protect her real identity; otherwise she will be targeted by a gang who would like to kill her.

Happy is starting to rebuild her life as a snowplough driver clearing and pushing snow off roads. In the midst of a huge storm she discovered a dead body. It is then the beginning of an arousing investigation which took her for looking the causes of the death what have put her at risk.

Ellen Ann Callahan did a great job giving details on the context and describing places (mountains, raods, vehicles, small towns, landscapes, etc). It is my first book written by this author. I really enjoyed her style of writing and I am looking forward to reading more from her.

I highly recommend this book to those who like mystery-romance books.

Plowed Over is the second book in the On the Wing series written by author Ellen Ann Callahan. Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the advance copy. I really enjoyed this story and am looking forward to reading more in this series.

This was a book from NetGalley
An interesting story that combines safe houses, relationships, mysterious death, that all comes together making an enjoyable read. Lucy / Happy is a complex character with an outward strong confidence only to have a fragile inner person and doubts from a past life making decisions borderline.
The back story concerning Lucy previous life was interesting the way Ellen Callahan drip fed details little by little along the way with another piece of the jigsaw building empathy for Happy.
Plowed Over is a mystery rather than a thriller well written interesting characters, great setting, and a satisfied reader.

Plowed Over is a page turner. The first page grabs your interest and you won't be able to put it down. The characters are intense and you'll find yourself trying to solve the puzzle.

A true mystery until the end. I usually figure out the plot but not on this one. Interesting characters and storyline. I enjoyed!

A suspense story that will keep you turning pages... The zany main character has not caught a break in years and the rollercoaster that is her life is amazing. The side characters are complex and just as loveable.

PLOWED OVER: ON THE WING by Ellen Ann Callahan. Second book to feature Happy Holiday. A mystery is solved as Happy still struggles to come to terms with her life in the witness protection program. Unique and quirky supporting characters make for an enjoyable read.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. It’s a great book with a strong female character and keeps you guessing until the end. This is the second book about Lucy.

Happy Holiday - also known as - Lucy is placed in a small town in the mountains by The U.S. Marshall Service. They are hiding her there away from Romero. However, she is not finding life easy as she misses her former life and friends. Soon things change and become exciting.

As the story develops Lucy is seen slowly adjusting to her new life and job plowing snow. But, of course soon a body is discovered and she can’t help herself and begins an investigation into the frozen dead man. Her ability to unfortunately not think before she acts causes problems for her. Will she solve the mystery? Will Romero find her? You have to read the book to find out. So pick your copy, it’s well worth it.

The only thing I really did not feel was necessary was the sex scene, but overall the book was very enjoyable, especially the ending.

When I read that the heroine of this book is called Happy Holiday, I did wonder what sort of book it might be! However, I'm really glad I picked it up. Happy is in witness protection and has very understandable difficulties with some of the limitations of that - the lying to people she knows etc. Her investigations into the frozen dead man she discovers butts up against her need to keep safe by keeping her head down and she's advised to let it go. Without being too stupid to live (like some heroines regrettably are) she refuses to do so and gently but stubbornly continues to look into it.

Happy/Lucy is the main character in this book and I liked her a lot. While she wasn't faultless, she remained determined to do the right thing, but not in a self righteous or unbearable way. The other characters and her interactions with others were described well and the story flowed nicely. Nothing too unrealistic or jarring happened either. A good read.

I was gifted a copy of this book by netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

Not often I work out a key element of the mystery early but I got this one really early. Not to worry, it was entertaining confirming I was right and there were plenty of other things I hadn't worked out.

Happy Holiday (who agrees to calling someone in witness protection Happy Holiday?) ploughs up a dead body on her midnight shift clearing the roads in the mountains of West Maryland. It's obvious he was drunk, ran out of fuel and froze as a consequence. To the writer's credit, Happy doesn't immediately "have a hunch" that something's amiss but wants to give the man's wife some closure by finding out what happened his last hours.

The sex scene, not particularly explicit, caught me by surprise and I'm not sure why it was included (sex outside marriage where one party is religious read like it might have had significance).

Reservations but a good story.

Here's an excellent and very interesting plot and a well written story, with something happening all the time. The setting is also interesting, and best of all the great characters is of course Happy, a strong young woman.

Lucy Prestipino/Happy Holiday has a new identity under the protection of the US Marshal Peter Etchers in the mountains of Maryland. Lucy misses her ex life and friends. Romero Sanchez the gang leader is not on that list. Lucy’s job is now plowing snow until she plows up a dead body.
My first read by this author and I really enjoyed it. I believe this is book 2 in the series so I will try to get book 1 but felt I understood this book. Thought the pace was fairly fast Lucy’s/Happy’s past in the gang follows her yet she shows her strength in helping to solve a mysterious death. I felt other characters were developed and well rounded. I felt the story was realistic and it was nice to see Lucy/Happy in a much better place with decent life expectations.
Would recommend.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this arc.

This was a fast read and a bad one for me. I didn't realize it was a sequel until about halfway through. But at that point I was so irritated by Happy/Lucy and Jimmy that I just wanted it over and done. The characters seemed to be some compilation of characteristics the author found interesting and threw together to create people. But I just found them to be inconsistent and dichotomous messes.. The romance between Happy & phoney-baloney Jimmy made me gag. But sex sells..... It just extended the awfulness.

The murder of Bernie also felt like a plot device, but without it, the book wouldn't exist at all.

1 star to 1.5 stars

Lucy was a bicycle messenger in a city. Next thing she knows she is in witness protection, has a new name and driving a snow plow. How awful when she plows up a dead body. She becomes investing in figuring out why he died. She is quite the character. She doesn't seem to think before she acts. Makes for an interesting story. I liked the book.

When the main protagonist in a story is called Happy Holiday you are drawn in from the start hoping she lives up to her name. Thankfully she does. Once known as Lucy, Happy isn't finding life easy in her new skin. The witness protection service entrusted with her care find her a bit of a handful and her new boss doesn't know quite how to deal with her.

I really enjoyed this book, the people and landscape merge to provide Happy with a situation she knows she should be fine with but isn't and when she find a dead body, or he finds her, she begins a search which challenges her ideas of right and wrong once again.

This is the second book concerning the life and times of Happy/Lucy and although I haven't read the first I learned enough about it that this made sense from the get go. I liked Happy, her basic concept of right, wrong and playing fair were placed alongside the deceptions necessary for her survival in such a way that, as a reader, I was making decisions with her, for good or bad and waiting with baited breath for the outcomes. The other main characters were well rounded and whether good or bad never felt forced or superfluous. The whole book seemed realistic and never over the top. I hope Happy will make another appearance down the line; she definitely deserves to.

I was able to read a copy of this book thanks to Netgalley and the publishers in exchange for an unbiased review and would recommend it highly.

This is the first book I have read by Elle Ann Callahan. The lead female character is well thought out so as the characters makes decision readers are able to understand the decision. Readers are given insight into living I witness protection and how hard it can be to leave everything and everyone they have loved behind.
The story is slow and it take awhile for readers to be able engage in the story and while it does gain speed it takes it time telling the story. The ending is predictable but the characters are what will keep readers wanting more from this author.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of Ellen Ann Callahan Plowed Over: On the Wing.

Happy Holiday (aka Lucy Prestipino) and her dog Steppie, are now hiding out in Deep Creek, Maryland in the WITSEC program. She is not happy being “Happy” instead of Lucy and has to remind herself daily about her name. She tried to tell her handlers that she was not cut out for WITSEC, but they keep reminding her that it takes time. She has adjusted somewhat with the help of Trooper First Class James Bittinger (Jimmy) who knows about her past and has become her friend. Could he be more than a friend? Time will tell, but while Happy is out plowing snow for the town, her plow uncovers a body. She feels so terrible for the dead man even though she had nothing to do with his death. Was his death just a tragic accident? This was a humorous mystery with dialog that will make you laugh out loud as Happy fumbles her way through life and the WITSEC program. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

Thank you to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for a free RC in exchange for an honest review.

Our heroine is living a new life under the protection of the US Marshal Service, with a new name and look, in a small town in the Allegheny mountains, due to her previous involvement with a gang member in her home town of Baltimore. She's settled, but misses her old life and friends, and sometimes chafes at the restrictions placed upon her by her "Uncle Peter", the Deputy US Marshall tasked with being her direct contact. Her job as a snowplow driver is enjoyable.... until her plow turns up a dead man, and she starts investigating what happened.

I enjoyed this book, the main character is immensely likeable and the characterization is spot-on in giving the reader an understanding of how she thinks and why she acts as she does. The story is a bit slow to develop though, and the ending is foreseeable. All in all, well worth reading, and hope to read more by this author.
