"Arrived," the collaborative effort of Ashley Jacobs and S.S. Rich, takes readers on a turbulent journey through the clouds as it explores the magnetic pull between two passionate souls, Laura Beth and Parker. This contemporary romance, set against the backdrop of a high-stakes business competition, delivers a delightful blend of sizzling chemistry, witty banter, and a rollercoaster of emotions.

The narrative unfolds as Laura Beth and Parker, seemingly destined strangers, share a night of unexpected intimacy during a chance encounter on a flight. However, the twist comes when they discover that they are not only bound by the ties of passion but also by the cutthroat world of business, where they find themselves as rivals vying for the same deal the very next day.

What sets "Arrived" apart is the authors' ability to infuse the story with a perfect blend of humor, sensuality, and competitive tension. Laura Beth and Parker's banter is nothing short of electrifying, creating a lively and engaging dynamic that keeps readers eagerly turning pages. The chemistry between the two protagonists is palpable, drawing readers into a world where the line between love and competition blurs.

Parker, the charismatic male lead, steals the show with his cheeky and flirtatious persona. The authors have crafted a character who effortlessly walks the fine line between confidence and vulnerability, making him irresistible to readers. Parker's talent for dirty talk adds an extra layer of spice to the romance, creating an alluring dynamic that heightens the stakes of their corporate rivalry.

The authors excel in building a sense of urgency as the competition between Laura Beth and Parker intensifies. While LB is determined to emerge victorious in the business realm, Parker has his sights set on a different kind of conquest – winning Laura Beth's heart. This tug-of-war between professional ambition and personal desires adds depth to the narrative, keeping readers invested in the outcome.

"Parker's caring and attentive nature contribute to making him the ideal book boyfriend," as he goes beyond the surface to understand the complexities of Laura Beth's character. His genuine interest in her life and the endearing nickname he bestows upon her create a heartfelt connection that transcends the corporate battlefield.

"Arrived" successfully navigates the challenges of combining romance with corporate rivalry, offering readers a satisfying and emotionally charged story. As the whirlwind of competition and passion unfolds, the question of whether love can prevail in the midst of corporate chaos keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Jacobs and Rich have crafted a compelling romance that will leave readers eagerly anticipating their next literary collaboration. "Arrived" is a delightful departure into the clouds, where love and ambition collide in a way that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

"A little blonde spitfire tried to get away from me, but Fate and I had other plans." -Parker

OMG!!! What a story!!! From the prologue I found myself feeling butterflies for Parker.

This is the story of two people who found each other on an airplane multiple times, lots of flirting, and a one night stand, but find themselves to be employees of rival companies, vying for the same client. A secret billionaire MMC , a strong, sassy FMC, and a love story sprinkled with spiciness. What more can you ask for??

The book is so well written. The characters are easy to connect with, the story is so believable. I enjoyed the southern sassiness of LB so much. I laughed so hard with their banter, and had butterflies with their romance. Loved every second of this book, and cannot recommend enough!! I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Excellent Read

This story was fantastic. Hot from the get-go and continued throughout. The desire, angst, and push/pull between these characters truly had me addicted to page one.

I absolutely love a meet cute in while 'away', whether it be the airport, cruise, vacation island, I don't care, and this one delivers so well.

MC's work for rival companies vying for a relationship / contract of a big business mogul. Throughout the process, there are numerous flights, meetings, and overnights for these two to cause mayhem within each others hearts.
