This book is the second book in a series, this is also the first book I've read by this author. Maybe that's why I didn't gravitate towards this book or the characters in it??? over all I liked the writing and the plot but I just wasn't speeding through reading... this book follows Dylan a lovable rogue dreamer, he's the typical guitarist with his attitude and the way he acts, but he sets his sights high and isn't afraid to go after his dream. and Scarlett, an air stewardess, she comes across as standoff ish and way out of his league, but he falls head over heels for her. Even though in the book she does make herself standoffish you do get a little more insid=ght into who she is pretty early on and it makes her more likable as a character..
overall an enjoyable light hearted romance and a decent read, its a steadily paced book for some if you are comfortable with the author.

This is a good book. The two main characters are Scarlett and Dylan. Scarlett is an airline attendant. Dylan is a musician. The two meet one day when Dylan is playing for tips on the street and Scarlett walks by and gives him a tip. They keep meeting up by accident. Dylan finally ask her out. The start dating. They both have issues but together they work them out and fall in love.

Really struggled to keep my eyes on this one. Didn’t feel a lot of connection to the characters and the insta-love felt too… easy. Still very grateful for the ARC.

Gorgeous storyline about a handsome busker called Dylan who falls for a beautiful air hostess with the romantic name of Scarlett. He tries his hardest to win her over not realising she has dark secrets that make her believe she will never fall in love again. Dylan is spotted by a local talent scout and the ensuing back and forth romance, tied up with him becoming famous, is lovely .Thoroughly recommend this one.

It was a really great story, I love the characters and the chemistry that they build overtime and realizing that they can live without each other.. she realized how different he was from her ex and that he isn't like him at all and gave him a chance that she did not want to lose out on.

This wasn't my favorite in the series but I am a sucker for a friends to lovers and I love a London book so I enjoyed it. Thank you Ladbury and keep going.

This is the second book in the Love is in the Air series. I read the first book and enjoyed it and this one also did not disappoint. This is a captivating novel that blends the allure of fame with the struggles of personal history, offering a compelling journey of love, conflict, and self-discovery.

Scarlett is a flight attendant who has sworn off romance, determined to focus solely on her career and put her troubled past behind her. Dylan is a struggling musician who dreams of becoming a rock star. He is instantly drawn to Scarlett the moment he sees her. Despite Scarlett's determination about avoiding relationships, particularly with someone chasing fame, Dylan's charisma and determination quickly draw her in. The chemistry between them is undeniable, and it’s easy to see why they can’t resist each other, despite their differing goals and desires.

As the story unfolds, their relationship faces some challenges when Scarlett's past resurfaces and Dylan gets his big break. Scarlett's big secret could threaten not only their blossoming relationship, but Dylan's chance at fame as well.

The story is well-written and as the plot progressed with its twists and turns, I was on the edge of my seat anxious to see whether they would be able to overcome their individual baggage and be together. The character development was well done and the emotional stakes made it a heartwarming romance.

I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

This was a very cute novel! Easy to read, kept me on my toes, and I wanted to stay up all night to finish it.

Couldn’t finish the book. No connection between the main characters and wasn’t invested in their story.

We meet Dylan who is a busker. One day whilst busking, Scarlett throws some coins into his hat. Dylan is immediately smitten, and he knows only two things. One is to make it big with his singing, and two is to make Scarlett fall in love with him. Scarlett is an air stewardess for a private airline. She spends her life pampering to her wealthy passengers every needs. She isn’t really in the right place for a relationship, even if it is charming busker Dylan! But…she keeps getting drawn to him, despite her attempts not to.

This was my first Jackie Ledbury book. A delightful story of love and friendship. It’s a really unseasonal read for this time of year, but to be honest it was lovely to forget the cold and the snow for some sun!

The characters are all likeable and you just fall in love with Dylan right from the beginning. You know they both carry secrets and baggage but you just hope that they can get over all of it because you know that they are just perfect for each other.

A heartwarming, romantic read, with a touch of humour thrown in! A great read, not only perfect for a summer read sitting around the pool or on the beach but also for grabbing a blanket and a hot chocolate and losing yourself for a few hours on a cold winter’s day.

This was an ok book, I wanted to know how it ended so I finished it. It was cute but not something I would read again. Thank you for allowing me to read and review this ARC

I DNF'd this one at 75% after trying to read for over two weeks 😭

I have a hard time with insta-love stories and I found Scarlett quite insufferable in her back and forth attitude and the way she consistently jumped to conclusions without giving Dylan an opportunity to explain himself. I think there was a lack in back story and true character development with some timeline jumping that I found myself skimming through pages to find a substantial event to happen. I just didn't connect with any of the characters which made this difficult to get through.

Would love to give Jackie Ladbury another chance on another read!

I really wanted to love this. Scarlett was a difficult character for me to “invest” in and the story just never picked up enough to draw me in.

loved this romance and her mom wants her to date this guy she has these amazing friends who are all dealing with different relationship issues . loved that she found her way in the job and found love

I really wanted to like this but there was just something lacking that I just couldn’t finish it. I liked the 2 main characters separately but they just didn’t seem like a good mash up as a couple. Granted, they both had their own things they needed to work through, I saw them more as friends. Ultimately, what I think it boils down to is tension and backstory. I feel like if there was a bit more of the build up before had it would have grasped my attention.
I’m not a big insta love person even if it is one sided. It just seemed like he liked her solely based on appearance. There was nothing he knew about other than she liked his music before chasing her down and asking her out. We love a golden retriever but it just gave a bit too much of love sick puppy.

A cute, quick and easy read. It is a closed door romance.

Dylan Willis is an aspiring musician, he's a busker on the streets of London.

Scarlett is an air hostess who has sworn off men entirely, that is until she begins to fall for Dylan.

Dylan first saw Scarlett when he was busking, she walked past with her friends and he knew right then that she'd be his.

**Personal Review**

Thank you to netgalley for providing me with an advanced reader copy, this is my honest review.

There were some good things about this book! I enjoyed the writing style and learning about the side characters, there was good detail in the book. There were some quite funny moments, and I enjoyed the ending.

I personally wasn't a big fan of either of the main characters; I understand why Scarlett had sworn off men, but I don't understand why she felt entitled to be so rude. Dylan was a lovable character though, he did have his own issues.

I didn't feel chemistry between the main characters, nor did I enjoy the banter between them, It felt repetitive.

Another big issue was how quickly Dylan became famous; that wasn't realistic, it's very hard to make it as a musician - even Scarlett mentioned this at one point.

Overall it was a decent read, I would recommend it if you're looking for a quick and sweet romance.

Celebrity romances. Something that I have to learn isn't my cup of tea. Same with this one. I just have to give up on this genre, because I feel same thing when I'm reading them all the time, they are just to shallow and superficial. This didn't work for me....

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a wonderful book. I really enjoyed it!

This book was soo adorable! & what really made me interested in reading this book was definitely the cover! I was immediately captivated by it & i'm so happy it caught my eye because I loved this book!

The writing was great & it is written in third person, which I’m so used to first person or multiple POVs, so it took a little more time to for me to get into it but once I did I couldn’t put the book down!!

The characters were incredibly likeable and the chapters were short!! ( I LOVE SHORT CHAPTERS) which made it so easy to binge read! If you are interested in a easy fast paced, contemporary romance definitely check this one out!

This can definitely be read as a stand alone as I didn’t even realise that this was the second book in the series!
