The Missed Connection

By Tia Williams

"Tia Williams is one of the very best romance writers we have. A forever auto-buy for me." - Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author A New York Times, USA Today, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, Bookriot, and Parade Most Anticipated Book of the Summer! New York Times bestselling author Tia Williams returns with an intensely romantic, deliciously sexy tale about a woman searching for her handsome seatmate on a European flight--and the unexpected places her hunt for love leads her. Sasha Cruz knows types. As a booked-and-busy casting agent, she's always casting--at happy hour, the grocery store, everywhere. She's all about finding the perfect person to slot into the perfect role. What she doesn't do, however, is relationships. Too much energy, not enough time. On a flight to Paris for work, a chance encounter with her type changes everything. Sasha's seated next to a broodingly attractive mystery man, and sparks fly--but they never exchange contact information. Convinced she's lost out on her soulmate, Sasha emails her work friend for help, but accidentally writes to the entire company worldwide! The international manhunt to find Seat F begins. Meanwhile Sasha takes matters into her own hands. She hires a smoldering detective she knew in another lifetime--who complicates matters in unforeseen (and irresistible) ways. With a worldwide search underway, will love take flight for Sasha?

This was a funny, adventurous and spicy rom-com. The beginning was a bit slow, but it picked up and quickly became a fantasy whirlwind work of fiction. I almost got the same feeling of being a teenager reading their favorite book series while reading this. If you're looking for something funny and lighter, definitely give this a read.

This is a funny, titillating, story of a single woman who takes you through her mindsets between two very different men.

I really enjoyed getting know the love journey Sasha goes through and her learning herself and what she wants out of love. The twists and turns of her trying to find her mystery guy and reconnecting with a complicated companion had me glued to my seat. Reading it a 2nd time just for funsies!!!

Such a refreshing & fun read! And the takeaway quote of the day “The pettiest bitch you know is a straight man!” FACTS!!!!!! LOL! I couldn’t put this book down, it kept my attention from start to finish and the sprinkle of spice was just right! I also love the other black author shoutouts called out in the story. Sasha needs Wes and Wes needs Sasha, they just had to figure it out, and solve a mystery man along the way!
