Mile High

Windy City Series, Book 1

By: Liz Tomforde

Narrated by: Winston James, Mari

Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night.

What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

But every road trip blurs the lines, and I can't quite figure out if I keep pushing that flight attendant call button in order to push her buttons or if it's more than that.

Stevie: I've been a flight attendant for years. I thought I'd see it all, but when my new job lands me onboard working for the most egotistical and self-righteous diva in the NHL, I start to second guess everything. Including the promise I made to myself of never hooking up with an athlete again . . . no matter how annoyingly tempting he may be.

Zanders is unfiltered, unapologetic, and too attractive for his own good. He loves his image, but I hate everything about it.

Everything but him.

Contains mature themes.

Narration was a bit choppy, but I hate the ageism in the other reviews

I will say that the narration needs work here. The wording is choppy, and I had to patch together what the actual words on the page might have been. I don’t feel like the narrators got the right mood on certain lines.

That was a good story that I would still enjoy reading myself.

Other than that, I don’t feel like it was an age issue, and I am terribly disappointed in the other reviews being so ageist.

Loved the book

The plot was great and I loved the growth in the characters! The male narrator was tough to listen to and pulled me out of the story

HOOKED

Can’t wait for the next installment!. I identified with each character’s inner and outer battles and loved how the Author created space for healing and turning those perceived weaknesses into strengths

I need the sequel ASAP!

I could not stop listening! Loved how both ended up being better people together

Beautiful slow burn

I love a good slow burn novel but this has been the best I’ve read in a while. Great characters, great banter, never too exhausted with the main characters. I love how Stevie is so confident in herself and never lets the idea of a (rich and famous) man take away from her being. Did repeat itself a bit but even that wasn’t too much

Good Story

I have to agree with some of the other reviews: the story was a big long and at times felt drawn out. However, I really enjoyed the chemistry and banter between Stevie and Zander and loved the side characters, which I'm excited to dive into next. Narration wasn't bad but IMO didn't bring to story to life. I was a bit excited to see the others in the series are narrated by didnt narrators.

So good

Liz Tomforde has quickly become one of my favorite authors. The character building is so rich. The narrators are amazing and they enhance the story - perfect escape book!

Great read

Loved the story line and the main characters. The book was heartwarming and heart wrenching at the same time.

Character development

This book kept my attention great story telling a good love story. I loved how long it was I'm already reading the 2nd book.

Z + V

This was a super cute story and I loved listening to the banter between them! He is so over the top and extravagant and she is so down to earth. It’s great.
