Romance Contemporary

Caleb Kelly, Air Force pilot, returns from Afghanistan and finds his girl Kourtney had left him days after his deployment. He can't believe it. It had been her e-mails that had gotten him through the time away. He has no way of knowing he will find himself FALLING FOR THE WINGMAN. Alex Leadbetter, Kourtney's sister, cannot believe when Caleb pulls up in front of their mother's house. It is all about to hit the fan. He didn't know that Kourtney was about to be married. Honestly Alex had always thought he was too good for her self centered sister. It had been her who sent him the e-mails just to keep his spirits up until he returned and got hit with the truth. She certainly did not expect to fall in love with the flyboy herself. Caleb enlists her as his wingman, in a desperate attempt to win Kourtney away from her husband to be. He decides that making her think he has fallen for someone else will do the job. But the plan backfires when he really does fall for someone else... Alex. Then the secret she has kept from him really makes him fall that much harder. But Alex is happy where she is ... would it be even possible to get her to go with him. Would love be enough ... this time? FALLING FOR THE WINGMAN is the marvelous book three of author Crista McHugh's Kelly Brothers series. You are thrown into an emotional whirlwind from the beginning and will be hugely satisfied with the ending. Caleb is determined to get back the woman that he loves, only to find out how wrong he was in his beliefs. Alex is the mechanic, non-debutante sister, who is not afraid of being herself, though she does feel guilty that she is unable to tell him the truth about the e-mails. I loved how they were playacting (or were they?) until they had to face facts about how they really felt. Ms. McHugh has written another warm, sexy and surprising story and I cannot wait for the next one in this series.

SUMMARY

Air Force pilot Caleb Kelly has come back home with one mission in mind—to propose to the woman's whose letters and lucky charm helped him survive his deployment in Afghanistan. But when he finds their apartment empty with a note saying she's left him, he arrives at her mother's house in rural Alabama less than a week before Kourtney is about to marry another man. Now, he's out to win her heart again and gets some unexpected assistance from her younger sister, Alex. Alex Leadbetter has always thought Caleb was too good for her manipulative, social-climbing sister. She had assumed Kourtney's identity to write letters to him and keep his spirits up until he returned home to the hard truth, never expecting to fall in love with him along the way. After he shows up in town, she convinces him that the best way to get Kourtney back is to make her think he's fallen for someone new — her. But when a fake romance becomes all too real, her deception may leave them both grounded.
