Turbulent Intentions (Billionaire Aviators Book 1)

Love Melody Anne and after reading her billionaire marriage books I knew I wanted to read more from her. So glad I did. Turbulent Intentions was so good. I stayed up way too late to read it! Can't wait for the next book in this series and also all the other books she is working on! ;)

This book is very entertaining. I wanted to continue reading to find out how he was going to discover how he knew her and when would he tell her. The only thing I didn't like, was how the ending seem to be rush.

I was entranced from the first sentence! I have been a fan od Melody Anne's books since I first read The Billionaire Wins the Game (Billionaire Bachelors) and with every new book she has written the stories only get better.

This story has a very HOT, rich and confident hero, Cooper, and a sweet independent and, in her own way, strong heroine, Stormy. They get off to an immediate attraction and then are a part for quite a few years before they meet again. When they do, WOW, it was an explosion of the greatest kind. It was captivatingly seductive and sizzling. I think I even saw fireworks while reading it!! Can't wait to see what happens in book 2 of this new series!!

Six years ago Cooper Armstrong and Stormy Halifax hooked up at a wedding, although Stormy was a wedding crasher. It was to be a one-night stand but both were touched by the experience they had together. Just before this happened Cooper’s dad had died and had left some upsetting terms to his will that had Cooper and his brothers very upset.

Present day finds Cooper as the pilot of his own airline and Stormy was working in the coffee shop in the airport. They meet again when Cooper is buying coffee from Stormy but he doesn’t remember her. She is crushed. In the meantime Stormy has developed a friendship with Cooper’s Uncle Sherman, unbeknownst to her. When Uncle Sherman finds out Stormy has lost her job and apartment he decides to do some match making and arranges for her to stay with Cooper. Sparks fly and the fun begins!

I thoroughly enjoyed this new one by Melody Anne. It is a typical alpha billionaire tale she is so good at. I always feel like I’m visiting old friends when I read one of her Anderson stories. This is a new series/spinoff, “starring” the Armstrong brothers. The story is well written, the plot is great and about middle of the book the story gets nail biting. I couldn’t have put the book down if I had wanted to. Loved the ending! She pulled everything together so nicely. It is always fun to see what the characters in previous books have been up to and have them appear in the new stories. This story shows a lot of love and strength within this family and as usual I can’t wait for Book 2. Also, it shows that the author did a great deal of research into airlines and several types of pilots. She did a good job in weaving this into the story line.

I received an ARC from Net Galley for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this one. It's classic Melody Anne at her best. If you read any of the Anderson or Titan books then you will want to put this one on the must read list. Joseph Anderson back at the matchmaking we grew to love in this author's previous books. This time his victims are the nephews of his good friend Sherman. Six years ago the four Armstrong brothers lost their father but before he died he put out a challenge to them, If you want your inheritance, grow up, learn what is important in life, and marry. While most of their wild ways have been put aside, none of them appear to be in any hurry to marry. Cooper Armstrong is loving life as an airline pilot (forget the fact that he actually owns the airline) and getting married isn't even on his radar. Then he meets an intriguingly sassy barista at the airport coffee shop. Stormy Halifax can't believe Cooper Armstrong doesn't remember her. OK so their one night stand was six years ago but to not remember her at all??? The sparks between these two really begin to fly when she shows up as his new house sitter!

This is a completely entertaining read and a book I'd recommend to everyone.

Turbulent Intentions By Melody Anne is the first book in The Billionaire Aviator Series .I was so excited about this book when I first heard about it. I know from reading a few books by Melody Anne that her stories are just so so good .So when I got the opportunity to read this I read it as soon as I could and I absolutely loved it !

The best way I could describe the romance In this is sweet , hot and sexy , Melody Anne did such and amazing job writing the romance between Cooper and Stormy .Seeing that this series is called The Billionaire Aviators series we got to spend time around planes It was so cool ! and we also so got back story on The Armstrong Brothers I love these brothers , due to there fathers passing and his will they are not as tight as they used to be but I really hope as the series goes one they become closer .Between the swoon worthy romance , the wonderful characters ( there are so many characters I loved I really hope that all of them get there own books) and the beautiful setting Melody Anne has created another fantastic contemporary romance story .

This was a Cinderella romance between the down on her luck Stormy and arrogant pilot, Cooper. When Stormy comes face to face with Green Eyes (aka Cooper), the sexy one night stand she had six years ago, her pride suffers a blow when he doesn't recognize her at first glance. It doesn't help that the man she's built up in her mind as Prince Charming acts more the jerk faced frog than tender lover.

Cooper lives the mile high lifestyle and is arrogant and pretty full of himself. After setting off on his own to prove he could make something of himself and not just be a trust fund baby, he is now CEO and pilot of his own airline. Life is good, but having Stormy back by his side flips his care free life into a tailspin.

Throw in a meddlesome but well meaning uncle and a magnetic and irresistible attraction and Turbulent Intentions was a fun ride to a HEA. The story was cute in a classic Harlequin novella way and the steam factor was 4/5. This was short and sweet.

I liked that Cooper finally grew a pair and became the kind of alpha H Stormy deserved (and I like.) Wish Stormy would have made him work for it a little harder, considering her hurt feelings and his general playboy attitude.

Definitely curious about the rest of the Armstrong brothers but especially Ash.

*** ARC provided for an honest review ***

DISCLAIMER! This is a re-issue of the original title, Below the Radar

There are no strangers in a Melody Anne story. She takes the theory oF six degrees of separation to heart. Whether friends, family or acquaintances there is a link that connects her writing and sometimes it's so subtle, it's easy to overlook. Turbulent Intentions proves that. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. The theme of love as a unifying force is often used but I enjoyed how a random meeting rippled though the lives of two people and changed them for the better. With a gentle push from a familiar friend and a little help from an age old romance, Turbulent Intentions is as adorable as it is emotional. A feel good story.

Almost didn't read this series, because I read the one & two-star reviews, first—passed on the aviators based on those negative reviews. Fortunately, Melody Anne included some chapters of book 1 at the end of one of her other series. Piqued my interest, thus, downloaded books 1-4.

Cooper's character (Hero) earned 5 stars for me. Faults? Yes. He was a super likeable alpha male, kind, caring, & shared his wealth, generously, & anonymously. Yes, he was a man-whore, who didn't believe in true love. Why not? Women proved they cared for his $, costly gifts, or fame. Coop the person? Family loved him; a handful of buddies cared about him.

Heroine, Stormy, earned 4 stars, IMO. Didn’t like her wishy-washy attitude & unending second-guessing. Nor was her growing need to best her alpha male boyfriend pleasant. She knew Coop was enamored of her, but wouldn’t even try to stop the snarky, hurtful comments, which she spewed indiscriminately.

In spite of Stormy, would have rated 5 stars (because of the positive side of Coop’s character) except for some problems that seem to span too many of Melody Anne’s novels. Hate writing this, as I do like most of her books. BUT, do not like the tendency in her books for friends & relatives to be intrusive in the lives of the H &/or h. Why do family & best friends walk into the home of the H or h w/o knocking? At the least—put their head in the door & holler for the H or h! Even more upsetting is a family member or so-called best friend walking into the private bedroom of the H or h. Really?

There is a worse problem for me, however. MA writes about alpha males—YIPPEE—but too many of her heroines seem to prefer emasculating the H. Why claim a story is about an alpha male, if he’s half-wussy at the end of the tale? Frustrating!

All that said, not sorry to have read book 1, because of the hero. Also, enjoyed some of the billionaire Andersons & Storms playing minor roles in book 1.

Cooper is the oldest of four brothers who have lived a very wild lifestyle thanks to their billionaire father who had now passed away. Fighting, drinking and random sex were commonplace. As he was dying, their Armstrong father expresses great remorse for not teaching his sons to be responsible adults. He placed stipulations on their inheritance. The brothers are devastated to learn that their father was ashamed of them. Their father has stipulated in his will that they shall not inherit their portion of his estate until they mature and get married. They have ten years to achieve this. Not really needing the inheritance, Cooper sets out to do the opposite of his father's dying words and not get tied down by a woman. In walks Stormy, dressed in a hip hugging, red dress and a blonde wig for the night and Cooper immediately takes notice of her at his friend's wedding. After a hot, steamy, one night stand, Stormy decides to runaway instead of facing her mystery lover. Fast-forward to six years later, Cooper is a pilot and Stormy is a barista at the airport's cafe and they run into each other and Cooper, the man whore that he is, does not remember Stormy. This little revelation breaks her heart and so starts the story. Stormy is the neighbour and very close friend of Cooper's Uncle Sherman. Sherman plays his hand at a little match making and when Stormy is forced to leave her small apartment, he arranges for her to stay in Cooper's guest house. He has no idea that six years previously, the two met in a very intimate way at a wedding. When Cooper first saw his new guest, she looked very familiar and he was instantly attracted but he still didn't recognise her until..they kissed. Secrets held by both Cooper and Stormy cause problems and a tragic event forces their hand. A very enjoyable contemporary romance with a HEA. I'm looking forward to read the stories of the other brothers.

“There’s always a bright side, darling, to everything. Sometimes the journey to get to the light just takes a bit longer than at other times.”

Oh, boy. This is a tough one. I have been sitting here going back and forth trying to decide exactly what I want to say and what I will rate this book. When I came across Turbulent Intentions, I fell in love with the cover. The cover made me want to find out more about the book. So, naturally I read the synopsis. This book sounded like something that was right up my alley, so I decided to give it a try.

I’m going to be completely honest with you. I struggled a lot with this book in the beginning. I found the characters very hard to connect with. The Armstrong men did not give the best first impression. I found them to obnoxious and spoiled. When Stormy’s character was introduced, I had a little more hope. She meets Cooper at a wedding that she crashes and the two of them spend an amazing night together. However, after that night, they don’t see one another for six years. When the two of them are reunited, you can feel the sparks immediately and I will admit, I was intrigued to see how things would play out, especially since Cooper didn’t immediately recognize Stormy.

Probably one of my biggest issues with this story, other than the character connectivity, was the ending. It all just wrapped up way too fast. I would have liked to have seen more groveling once Cooper’s secret came out. I felt like he was forgiven and understood way too easily. And then after that, everything just seemed to happen at warp speed. I totally get the need for needing to wrap things up, but I think the story would have benefited from just one more chapter or two; to really give the characters a satisfying ending.

Overall, I think this is another case of what will work for some, doesn’t work for others. This story was just ok for me. It was a quick and easy read for me. I think the story-line itself did have a lot of potential. I adored Cooper’s Uncle Sherman. He was a really sweet man and I really liked his matchmaking efforts. His antics really saved the story for me. I loved what a good friend he was to Stormy.

I really wanted more from Cooper and Stormy, anything to help me connect to them better. The romance itself was sweet and had some swoon worthy moments. But, in the end, I think I was just left wanting more; more of everything. This is my first book by this author and even though this book was not a hit for me, I think this series does have potential and I would be open to reading the next book in this series.

Turbulent Intentions: Billionaire Aviators Book 1 is by Melody Anne. This is the start of a fantastic series. I simply could not put the book down. It is filled with unexpected twists and lots of excitement. The book does have some explicit sex scenes; but they are tastefully done.
The four Armstrong boys were causing excitement again. This time, they were running from a demon- the death of their Father. They were out trying to burn off some of their anger and emotions while their Father lay on his deathbed. Cooper was twenty-four, Nick was twenty-three, Maverick was twenty-two, and Ace was twenty-one. They entered a bar looking for trouble and they found it. A man started in on their Father and his wealth and Cooper took him outside and let him have it. Before they could go find their next fight, Nick took a phone call and told them they had to go home now. Upon arriving home, they heard their Father’s last words to them. A couple of days later, his words made sense. They were not getting their inheritance for ten years until they grew up, found some responsibility and married. This shook them all up; but Ace took it the hardest.
Now six years later, the three older boys had grown up and taken some responsibility; but all remained unmarried. Ace still had not come home. Their Uncle Sherman was in touch with him; but he was still wild. The other three were avoiding marriage still. They had no intention of fulfilling that requirement. Then Uncle Sherman and a close friend, Joseph Anderson stepped in and began matchmaking.
Will their matchmaking work? Cooper who is the owner and a pilot of Trans Pacific Airlines is the first victim.

Four brothers, Cooper, Nick, Maverick and Ace are spoiled millionaire playboys. Just before he dies, their father realizes the error of his ways in raising them. He changes his will to stipulate they will not receive their inheritance until they can show they are able to support themselves, turn into decent human beings and get married.

This is Cooper’s story. He takes what his father says to heart, even though he isn’t happy about it. He goes to work for an airline as a pilot. He eventually buys the airline he works at, though no one knows.

Stormy is the daughter of missionaries. She has not lead an easy life, is sweet and kind, but lacks the confidence to chase her dreams. She meets and sleeps with Cooper at a wedding she and a friend crash. Six years later they meet again, but he doesn’t recognize her at first.

Cooper was patient but determined to win Stormy over.

I loved sweet, kind, caring uncle Sherman. I cannot wait to read the rest of the brothers’ stories, especially Ace!

I did not read the first version of this book, so I cannot comment on the changes or updates.

I was given an ARC from NetGalley.

A captivating story in which an alpha male meets his match. I had a bit of trouble initially, becoming engaged with the main characters but hold on because it heats up before too long and the end is more than you bargained for.
Cooper is the oldest of four brothers who have lived a very wild and carefree lifestyle thanks to their billionaire father who now gone. Fighting, drinking and indiscriminate sex were commonplace. As he was dying, their Armstrong father expresses great remorse for his lack of teaching his sons to be responsible adult men. He expressed his sorrow in his last words and placed stipulations on their inheritance. The brothers are devastated to learn that their father was ashamed of them. Cooper turned a hobby into his occupation and became an airline owner and pilot. The only person who might have changed his wild womanizing was the blond that his met and bedded at the wedding of a close family friend but she is no where to be found.
Stormy is a jewelry designer by heart and coffee barista by employment who works at the airport and is extremely annoyed at all the arrogant airline pilots who are customer's at the coffee shop, including Cooper Armstrong. Even worse, he doesn't even recognize her in her natural hair color. Stormy is the neighbor and very close friend of Cooper's Uncle Sherman. Sherman plays his hand at a little match making and when Stormy is forced to leave her small apartment, he arranges for her to stay in Cooper's guest house. He has no idea that six years previously, the two met in a very intimate way at the Anderson wedding. When Cooper first saw his new guest, she looked very familiar and he was instantly attracted but he still didn't recognize her as his encounter six years prior....until..they kissed. Secrets held by both Cooper and Stormy cause problems and a tragic event forces their hand. A very enjoyable contemporary romance with a HEA. I'm rather anxious to read the stories of the other brothers.

A modern twist to the Cinderella tale - Melody Anne style.

The meddling is back with another four brothers, so we can look forward to another wonderful series. With pilots to boot! Of course, some surprise appearances by some Billionaire Bachelors too!

The start of the story, we are given a glimpse of how the boys' lives turned around. From how out of control and entitled they are, something needed to change so their dying father put some stipulations on his will that all four of them didn't like.

Cooper and Stormy met at a wedding. The Cinderella aspect of the story started here. Two strangers swept by the romantic mystery. they didn't even introduce themselves. Then by Morning, Cinderella went missing leaving behind something important.

The one thing I didn't like was that years went by before they met again. I guess, it was to give them some time to grow up and everything, but it was just too long.

The fun started when they met again. Both witty and arrogant, they clashed in a coffee shop which got Stormy into trouble and made her resent their night a bit. Cooper didn't recognize her, which added to her irritation.

And when circumstances leave Stormy homeless, the fairy godmother in the form of Uncle Sherman offers her a deal so hard to pass up - which was to live for a while at one of his nephews' home -which much to Stormy's disdain, ended up being Cooper's house.

I've read a lot of negative reviews about this book, but that didn't stop me from reading this. Sure, the meddling and everything is still there, but that is Melody Anne's sort of MO in her books, I guess. Only Melody Anne fans would know that. But to compare to Fifty Shades because of the same geographical location is going a bit too far. Billionaire Bachelors books started in Seattle too!

As far as endings go, this one didn't disappoint. Who doesn't like reading a bit of thrilling moments every now and then, right? I wish that we were given a bit of insight on what happened after the incident. With him as CEO of the company, was he sued? Or because he saved them, was he named a hero?

This was one very sweet romance, you won't put it down. Add in the billionaire pilot, a man in uniform - you could never go wrong! Exciting, pleasing and very entertaining - I can't wait to read the book on the next brother!

5 heroic stars

The synopsis of the story and the author attracted me to this story. I have always loved her stories and I could not wait to fly in the skies with these sexy aviators. I was a little disappointed by all of the inner thoughts that the characters had, but overall I liked the book. This is book one of the Billionaire Aviators series and it is about Cooper and Stormy, which makes me think of X Men by the way). Cooper and his four brothers have ten years to settle down and get married or they will lose their inheritance. Not really needing the inheritance, Cooper sets out to do the opposite of his father's dying words and live life his way and not get tied down by a woman. In walks Stormy, dressed in a hip hugging, red dress and a blonde wig for the night and Cooper immediately takes notice of her at his friend's wedding. After a hot, steamy, one night stand, Stormy decides to runaway instead of facing her mystery lover. Fast-forward to six years later, Cooper is a pilot and Stormy is a barista at the airport's cafe and they run into each other and Cooper, the man whore that he is, does not remember Stormy. This little revelation breaks her heart and so starts the story. I really did not like Stormy because she just seems so dim witted and stupid to me. My first thought was how was someone supposed to remember you when you had a full disguise on and not to mention that is SIX years later. She had no back bone and when she does get one, she proceed to leave over something that she knew was not true about Cooper. At first she is upset about not remembering you and then when he does, you act like you don't remember him. When Cooper and Stormy do have a fight, she overhears something in a conversation between Cooper and his brother and common sense should have told her to think about all of the events that took place in their relationship and she would have known that she overreacted, which she admits later.
Okay, okay I am done rambling but this character should have been written better. There is one surprise in this story, just wait on it. Another thing that bothered me was the time frame. There is not distinguished time frame of everything that going on, but that is just a pet peeve of mine and its not a big problem. This is a good read overall and I recommend it.

I liked this book but with some reservations. Cooper and Stormy definitely came from different backgrounds but were good main characters. I also liked Cooper's Uncle Sherman too. He brought a sweet but sometimes meddling element to the story. Stormy and Sherman built a real sweet friendship over time.
My main "complaint" was that it was so slow and at times didn't really feel like it was going anywhere. There were good written visuals of the locales that were a part of Cooper's life. So that did help too.
The action does gear up towards the end of the book and there is a H.E.A. for the M.C.'s.
I borrowed this book through the Prime Reading program.
One last comment which I guess is more a question. What was with all the winking?

I fell in love with Melody Anne’s writing during her billionaire series. Turbulent Intentions continues is that genre, so I absolutely love, Love, LOVED this wonderful book.
William and Evelyn Armstrong loved their sons, deeply and were so proud of them. They also worried over them, afraid they would become like Bill’s father, a self-aggrandizing rich snob that treated the people that worked for him, like second class citizens. Bill wanted them to become successful in their own right. He wanted them to find a woman they could not live without, just like he had in Evelyn. So he changed his will. Lying on his deathbed, he calls his sons to him. His body racked in pain from the cancer that was killing him, he tells Cooper and his brothers, “I have failed you. You are men now, but you have no plans for the future.” “I know you will grow into fine men.” “Please don’t hate me when I’m gone.” The brothers took their father’s last words to them to mean that they were a disappointment to him. Nothing could have been further from the truth.
Cooper and he three brothers were given an ultimatum in their father’s will, make something of themselves, and find a good woman to love them, and marry, or they will lose their portion of their inheritance. NEVER!!!!
Stormy Halifax is a beautiful, hardworking, determined woman with dreams. Dreams she is afraid to do anything about. However, lately, fate seems to be taking a dump on her. First, the man she had the best night of her life with several years ago does not remember her, and then almost gets her fired from her job. Next, she gets the eviction notice regarding her apartment because the owners want to renovate, and sell the building. Then, she does get fired when a bad tempered customer spills his coffee and spazzes at her. The final straw, when she spills her purse when she gets home. The flood gate open on her tears. Kneeling on the floor sobbing, she hears her neighbor and dear friend Sherman ask “What’s the matter darling?” Stormy met Sherman just after her father died, and was there for her when she lost her mother as well. Sherman loves her like a daughter. When Stormy starts to tell him why she is crying, a light goes off in Sherman’s head. He decides to play matchmaker and offers his nephew’s guest house until she gets back on her feet. Stormy accepts, although through some carefully planned by Sherman, mishaps Stormy ends up moving into his nephew’s house, not the guest house. No one is home when she moves in, so she decides to look around. “I assume you know Sherman Armstrong?” Stormy jumps and turns. “Cooper…” Cooper is the man SHE never forgot. Let the games begin….
I love a great Cinderella story, and this one certainly fits that bill. This book will also take you through many emotional twists and turns. Which makes me love this book even more.
This is the first book in a new series by Melody Anne, and it can definitely read as a stand-alone book, without a cliffhanger. You do meet the characters in the following books, however. I cannot wait to read how Sherman finds matches for Coopers brothers.
Now, I need to thank Montlake Publishing for granting my wish, and gifting me with an ARC copy of this fabulous book to read and review.
Thank you for reading my review.

It was annoying how Stormy kept trying to tempt him or get close to him but then would run away when he'd show interest. I get that she was afraid to admit to him that they had previously slept together out of fear of looking like a stalker, and she was afraid of falling for a commitment-phobe, but her fleeing nature and bi-polar-ness was annoying. I guess she's just living up to her name. For a supposedly head-strong girl, she was really quite weak and wishy washy. Then how long had they been dating when she overheard that he'd get money for marrying her? Days, Weeks, months? Also, if Joseph used his driver to take Stormy home after the wedding six years ago, and knew to give the necklace to Cooper, why didn't they ask the driver where she lived so Cooper could find her? If not, then they should have explained that he wasn't ready for a commitment at the time but now he is and of all the girls he's been with, he wants to commit to her. And when Cooper emerged from the plane, didn't he say he saw and heard the coast guard helicopter? Then moments later there was no one there to help? These are some of the things that annoyed me about this story but it wasn't a horrible story either. I've read a lot of Melody Anne books. It's been a while since I've read any but I thought I enjoyed her previous books more than this one.
