Study your trajectory before entering in a hot zone, flyboy!
Derek ‘ Bubbles ’ Thorne had a horrible secret that haunted him. Volunteering for orders to Ghazni was supposed to be a way to hide and escape, until a hand of friendship offered a chance at salvation. Now, he was literally running from the farmer’s daughter who lived down the road from Flyboys.
Prepare for the fight of your life…
Toni Baird didn’t have a shy bone in her body. Growing up on a small-town farm, everyone knew everything about your family… including the flight school that bordered her property. But when her inheritance hinged on some wild condition, she was pretty sure her life was about to fall apart before her eyes.
Could Derek’s secret be the ultimate deal-breaker, even for her? Or could she hurdle the massive leap of faith it would take, trusting him?

Absolutely loved this one! What a thrilling read! Derek’s mystery backstory was unexpected, heart wrenching and kept you on the edge of your seat. Loved Toni! Her dedication and unwavering love for him was amazing. And the whole Baird family rallying around him was heart warming🤎

My heart is absolutely in a puddle after reading this book. This has to be one of the sweetest romances in Flyboys series.
Derek "Bubbles" Thorne has a heavy past that has haunted him forever. It also changed the trajectory of his life as he feels he has to look over his shoulder constantly. When he has the opportunity to go to Ghanzi, it seems like the perfect place to hide away. True relationships, of any kind, are an impossibility for him, and he has no place to call home and no one to call family. One determined woman wants to change his mind about everything he thought he knew about life and where he would end up.
Toni Baird helps run her family's farm with her brothers. When she catches a glimpse of Derek when he is visiting Yonder, she boldly approaches him to tell him hello. She does not get the reception she hoped for. But this will not stop this young woman from going after what she wants. I loved her sass and determination to knock down the carefully erected walls around Derek's heart and whole being.
It was an emotionally charged book with a lot of seriousness in it, but it was also filled with so much laughter and fun. Toni's brothers were regular comedians as each of them tried to outdo the others with their verbal sparring. I snort laughed so many times. The most important thing I got from this book is that family is more than blood ties, and sometimes you just have to let go and have faith.
After finding out why Derek chose the call sign of Bubbles, I have to admit that I shed a tear or two. He got razzed constantly for having chosen this name, but he stood firm in his choice. Although this was not a long book, it was filled with so many good things and left a smile on my face.

Of course Ginny Sterling just keeps getting better and better!! This book was fabulous! I loved these characters so much. The story and the characters were well written and enjoyable. This was more of an emotional book to me because of all the struggles Bubbles has gone through.
Derek "Bubbles" Thorne has a horrible secret that he has kept to himself for years. Because of this secret he doesn't let anyone in and keeps to himself. I wanted to reach into this book and give him the biggest hug. I felt so bad once I knew what his secret was and just wanted to make everything better for him. He maybe tough but he has such a big heart.
Toni Baird is such a great character. She isn't afraid of anything and is definitely not shy! She decides she wants to become friends with Bubble by email and things start to get interesting between their exchanges. Her brothers were great side characters that had me cracking up and had me melting because they love like no tomorrow.
This book will take you on an emotional ride but there are so many happy moments. I was laughing so hard at the mouth on Toni, her brothers will have you cracking up, you will smile so much your cheeks will hurt and you will love the ending. I also fell in love with why Bubbles is Derek's call sign. It's such a sweet but sad story. This book will keep you entertained and you will devour it so quick.
I highly recommend this book. The Flyboys Series is a MUST READ series. These books are so much fun, full of heart and will always make you happy!

Oh sweet Bubbles! This man has had a very, very hard life. I can’t even begin to touch on what this man has scene but he also is closed off. Not only from outsiders but even his own brothers. It’s truly sad the walls he hides behind. Little did he know Toni would come in like a bull and knock everything down. Toni is a cross over character from “Ice, Ice… Maybe?”. I’m so excited to see her story because we got a few mentions of it in Becca’s story. Toni is a force to be reckoned with. She knows what she wants and she won’t take no for an answer. I admire her and when you see how well she can read Derek, you will see how they are a perfect fit. She knows when to push and when to pull back.
This is a dual pov, closed door romance. It is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone novel. As mentioned previously, there is cross over characters from the Pucks and Promises series.

An unexpected reappearance, and a woman who chases with heart.
Forever Fragile, is yet another prime example of Ginny’s ability to weave multiple stories through various series. She’s so impressively good at it.
Ginny, you make me laugh, cry, and fall in love with even the characters you’ve taught me to seriously dislike. I’m fan for life, I’m not even embarrassed to admit to rereading every series multiple times to catch every thread and nuance. Thanks for following your calling so I could be so throughly entertained!

Derek "Bubbles" Thorne has a secret. It's become his life's mission to keep it from anyone. He doesn't want to let anyone in and has decided that he will never be able to have a real relationship because of it. Then he meets Toni, and everything changes. Can he learn to trust her with his secret?
I loved this book and could not put it down. Ginny has a way of pulling you right into the book, especially with the addition of some crossover characters. I can't wait to see what's next!

I love suspense as well as stories about new love at first sight books. All I have to say is I loved all the Forever Flyboys books. This one is by far the best to me. In fact, I would love it as a movie. There is always something mysterious about a decent man with a scary past. The fact that Derek unwillingly becomes a knight in shining armour made me love his character even more. Toni is fun blend of innocent and spunky all rolled in one.

Powerful and emotional
Bubbles and Toni's story is powerful and emotional and has you in tears for what Bubble lost and his fears but also has you in tears of laughter with Toni and her family. And then there is Marisol and Valkyrie. Loved this story.

As always, perfect
Ginny Sterling makes each story different. Different problems, different solutions, and different people, but the same undeniable perfect love story between soul mates.

Derek
Another adventure with the Flyboys. Fun to see the ones we know from before and discover new friends along the way. This one was a fun read. Bits of sarcasm and hilarious by play.

Love vs Fear
What an amazing love born from ashes of fear, made possible by the love of chosen family. Couldn't put it down.

I generally really enjoy everything I read by this author, but the writing felt patchy and disconnected in places and the MFC didn't seem fully developed

I continue to love this series and really hate to see it ever end. These guys are just too fun! I wasn't sure what to expect with Bubbles. From learning the reason behind his call name (so sweet and unexpected) to watching him inneract with Toni and her family, this one is a wild ride!

I absolutely adore Derek & Toni's heartbreaking, sweet, caring, feisty, loving , hopeful,swoony happily ever after!!
