Brody West has the unerring ability to make Maddie Stone mad, frustrated as hell, and inexplicitly drawn to him, even though he was stubborn, stingy with money, overbearing and sexy as hell. He made her feel things, things she had no right to be feeling now that she was leaving Sky High Air, the company that she had helped build, her life and friends. But her twin sister Leena needed her help, needed her to put in action The Plan that they had decided upon years ago, to go away and start a new life far from their Uncle Rick and Stone Cay as they could. Of course Brody wasn't going to let her escape, not since that kiss and his strong attraction to her. Maddie made him angry, stirred things up inside that he'd rather not deal with. While Maddie had come from a life of luxury, empty as it was, Brody had grown up mostly on the streets, fighting for everything he had. It wasn't until he met Noah and Shayne that his dreams of flying began to come to fruition. And now there was Maddie, always Maddie. Independent, intelligent, bossy, beautiful Maddie. And he wasn't about to let her disappear from his life any more than Maddie was going to expose Brody to danger. So what else are two stubborn people going to do? Yes, fall in love, face the bad guys and save the day. I'm not going to belabor the point that Jill Shalvis is a gifted writer, that she has this innate ability to create characters that come alive on the page. I'm just going to say that once again she has written a book with three dimensional characters, full thought out plot lines, and sub-plots that will keep you riveted.

Sky High Air concierge receptionist Maddie hides her attraction to brooding pilot owner Brody West partly because of her entangled past and somewhat due to his outrageously flirting with every female except her; he keeps his distance. However, when her twin sister Leena arrives frightened with the need to activate their disappearance plan as Maddie had previously done alone, Brody becomes gravely concerned and intercedes as he wants to help the sisters.

Maddie and Brody pose as a married couple. He shocks her as he knows her intimately when she thought he barely knew she breathed. For Leena's sake Maddie goes back to her past that she fled with Brody at her side. As they fall in love she considers running again while he must persuade her to stay.

The third Sky High Air Sexy with a capital S tale (see SMART AND SEXY and STRONG AND SEXY) is an engaging refreshing entry as Jill Shalvis moves the plot from the air and the airport to the water and ground. The story line is driven by the lead couple who battle and love each other as she chooses flight and he chooses fight. Although the suspense never soars until very late, fans will enjoy this engaging contemporary romance as love takes to the air, earth and sea.

Jill Shalvis brings her Sky-High Air trilogy to its sensational conclusion in Superb and Sexy.

Maddie Stone concierge for the partners of Sky-High Air has been hiding out ever since she was shot at work. She is slowly recovering but it's not the injury that is keeping her from returning to work. Her twin sister Leena is in deep trouble and Maddie will do anything to protect her sister, including running away from the one man who she has had a crush on for ages.

Brody West pilot and partner have always butted heads with Maddie. When she got hurt at work it tore his heart in two. Then he finds out the real reason she hasn't come back to work he parks himself smack dab in the middle of it. Posing as Maddie's husband to save Leena causes all kinds of feelings he didn't know he had for their tough as nails concierge.

Spending 24/7 as man and wife has Maddie and Brody exploring the feelings they both have kept hiding. Once the danger to Leena passes will they revert back to their old ways?

Superb And Sexy is everything I love in a Jill Shalvis book. It's funny, sassy, a bit of danger and all out sexy. Brody and Maddie's story is well worth the wait, their attraction is stellar and sensual. You can't go wrong picking up a Jill Shalvis book.

When the three owners of the incredibly successful Sky High Air can't reach their concierge, Maddie, they become concerned and it's decided that Brody West should go to Maddie's home to check things out. Sparks have always flown between Brody and Maddie - so much so that one of the last times he saw her, Maddie plastered herself against him in a soul-stealing kiss. It was nothing short of incredible. Not so incredible was that she promptly ran out and ended up getting shot by a jealously unstable Sky High client; she's been on medical leave since then. When Maddie refuses to open her door to talk to him, Brody becomes suspicious that she's in some sort of trouble. After he meets her identical twin, Leena, and there's double the strange behavior, he's determined to get to the bottom of what has them so jumpy.

The next thing Brody knows he's on his way to a private island, posing as Maddie's husband (while Maddie poses as Leena), facing goons with more brawn than brains that work for the girls' criminal uncle. It isn't long before Brody realizes that the emotions he's experiencing while spending so much time with Maddie run much deeper than simple anger at the blackmailing uncle. Maddie can't deny that the things Brody makes her feel are very new to her, and more than just a little frightening. She and Leena haven't had the best of luck with guys and are wary, to say the least. But the way Brody jumps in to protect them, and the passion and emotion he has stirred in her, have given Maddie second thoughts . . .

Jill has once again served up a book that's full of fun, quirky characters who simply don't seem to understand that she knows what's best for them by putting them together. SUPERB AND SEXY has danger, desire and humor, and while it is a romance, it delves into the love and devotion of twin sisters as well. I highly recommend this book for all romance readers.

I absolutely loved this series about three hot pilots!! I was most anticipating this story because of the build-up of their relationship in the first two books. Although this was a great story it definitely wasn't as good as the first two. The sex was great but something was missing. It did have a happy ending to the whole series though. I will definitley miss these pilots!

I really enjoyed this entire trilogy, and the last installment didn't disappoint. Another great read from Jill Shalvis, who consistently turns out well-written romance with likeable, believable characters, great chemistry and enaging (if sometimes wacky) plots. I'd recommend almost every book she's ever written, though fans will notice a distinct change in tone in her later works (earlier novels had a much darker/serious tone).

Some of her books (Get a Clue, The Trouble with Paradise, and Strong and Sexy) are really good, great stories and great romance. Others, like this one and Smart and Sexy, are just ok. This book was disjointed, with rambling, incomplete sentences, written like a stream of consciousness from inside Maddie's head! I enjoyed Brody and Maddie in Strong and Sexy and really looked forward to their story, but Maddie's background and the trouble she found herself in were so unbelievable as to be ridiculous, and Brody was just there - none of his personality came through at all.

I'll keep reading Jill Shalvis in hopes that she'll come up with something really good like I know she can, but I probably won't buy them immediately like I have been!

Enjoyed the first two books better. They went quicker for some reason. Took awhile to get into this story, but once there, it was a good story to read.

During the first two books, readers got little snippets of the complex relationship between Brody and Maddie. Ms. Shalvis did an excellent job of building the suspense and sexual tension between the two love interests, especially in the second book, Strong and Sexy.

Maddie has recently left her job while she heals from her gunshot wound. Brody, being the overprotective, alpha male, takes matters into his own hands by traveling to the cabin she's staying at to bring her back home. Unbeknownst to him, Maddie has a twin sister who's staying at the cabin with her, resulting in some pretty funny mistaken identity on Brody's part. Brody tries his darnedest to convince Maddie to return to work. She refuses but won't give Brody the full truth behind her reasons. After some urging, and sweet talk, Maddie finally fesses up and clues Brody in on what's been going on and why she has to help her sister.

Posing as husband and wife, the two of them travel to the Florida Keys to put old demons to rest and get Maddie's twin sister out of trouble once and for all. Once there, the two of them can't keep their feelings for each other hidden any longer, nor their hands to themselves. They work together to get themselves out of a dangerous situation and back to safety at Sky High Air.

I have to admit, when I first started reading this book I was a tad bored. It started off a little slow. Brody and Maddie didn't make it to the Keys until halfway into the book. The first half the book was spent with Brody trying to convince Maddie to include him in her troubles. The two of them are dominant personalities who can't or won't budge from their point of view.

By the time I'd finished the book, I was pleasantly pleased with the way everything was tied up. The sexual tension between the two of them was just as strong in this book as it had been in the first two books. All in all, a good ending to the series.

After reading the first two in the series I will really looking forward to Maddie and Brody's story. This book really started off slow. The author spent an inordinate amount of time in retrospect of the characters. It took about the first 30-40 pages before she actually got into the meat of the adventure.

And in regard to the previous review that lied and said there was only one sex scene. She obviously stopped reading the book after that scene because it was not the only one in the book. If I had listened to that review only I would not have purchased or read the book at all.

It was a good enough read once you got past Maddie and Brody going on and on and on about how they felt about each other. Not at all worth the $8.96 price tag but I couldn't not read the last of the series. Was disappointed and now kinda leery about reading her other series with a hefty price tag for each book.
