Fireflies

By: Lise Gold

Narrated by: Stevie Zimmerman

Senior purser Mia Donoghue is always on the go, leaving her little time for herself. She doesn't mind being busy; it provides distraction from painful memories and her daily struggle to stay sober.

Captain Ava Alfarsi has just been promoted, carrying more responsibility than she's ever had before. As a single, young and attractive captain, Ava has no problem meeting women, but her control issues and fear of people finding out she's far from perfect stand in the way of connecting with others on a deeper level.

When the two become aware of each other's deepest secrets, they find comfort in the knowledge that they're not alone. The attraction is undeniable as they embark on a healing journey together. Can Ava learn to let go, and can Mia somehow make peace with her past?

Both searching for strength to fight their demons, they never expected to find strength in each other. But is passion enough to keep the fire burning?

Fantastic!

Another by Lise Gold that I just can’t quit listening to! I really enjoyed the character depth and the overall story. Stevie Zimmerman does an excellent job with the narration. Very clear and distinct characters.

Love "up in the air" romances!

I'd say this was a good read. It was interesting and different than the stories I've read lately. That's was a bit of serious subject matter mixed in with the romance and I'd say it was a good mix. I enjoyed threw characters and their stories and struggles. This is my second Lise Gold book and I defintely look forward to more.
Audiobook was great. The narrator did an excellent job.

Unique, beautiful story.

Wonderful book of love and stuggle. So finely crafted and narrated. The characters are so powerful. This is a common theme for many people today and is so well written, sensual, sexy and believable. Will relisten again and again. Bravo.

Captain, my, my, my!

I can’t say everything I want to say, because I’ld be writing another book. The addiction was so on point that I couldn’t stop listening. I sat with a cupa tea and tablet, watching the rain fall. I sat so long I gotta cramp in my legs. L. G. You Rocked the Block, but I’m off to my next adventure.

Romance with a message

Fireflies is an important novel since, while most novels have difficulty delivering one message or theme, this one effectively and emotionally delivers TWO.
On one level, it delivers a romantic adventure, sweet, hot and believable while also, delivering a story of two women struggling with the same life altering problem.
I enjoyed the main characters immensely and their story would have held my attention, even if this was just a romance.
However, and maybe most important, their major obstacle is not a matter of love, but rather the agony of alcoholism!
I love reading romantic novels and have been doing so for a few rewarding years. However in that time, I have only read two “romantic” ones that dealt with drugs, alcoholism or mental illness.
I recently read a novel by the marvelous author Georgia Beers which explored the complications brought about when love must confront the obstacles of autism.
I think romance writers should be applauded for taking on problems that do not only fall into the usual tropes of age difference, gay or straight?, boss and employee, enemies to friends, etc!
Lastly, I learned a great deal about the travel industry, especially those hard working stewardesses and stewards. If you think it’s that romantic, you should try it for a few months 😱.
I suggest you read this story of two very personable women in their 30’s who make such a valiant effort to be together, intelligently. Passionately, and supportively.
