Summary: Enjoyable though implausible
Review: "Fly Me to the Moon" is a light, humorous read as the author delivers one witty remark after another. Strong lead characters and equally delightful supporting characters. The dialogue is fresh and enjoyable-the various quips and retorts exchanged by the different characters are a delight to read.
Plot-wise though, the novel fluctuates between alternating degrees of predictability and implausibility. In the romance vein, for the most part, the future love matches are so obvious that one will definitely not be surprised by the author's attempt to give everyone a happy ending (and let's face it, we like it better that way anyway). In the other aspects of the plot, however, certain developments or elements were simply too improbable and unlikely to have occurred.
Basically, this novel is an extremely fun read-just go along with Kylie Adams' flight of fantasy.

Summary: Entertaining romance novel..
Review: "Fly me to the Moon" is a spunky, hilarious novel by
Kylie Adams. It follows the misdaventures of the
daughter of a mobster, Sofia. She has just left her
father's handpicked groom at the alter for the third
time. Then, she falls for a Sinarta cover singer
named Ben Estes. Naturally, Mr. Mobster hates him,
and so they have to go on the run until they decide to
hitch the knot. The two hitmen are hysterically
inept. Soon, Ben gets good advice, and becomes a
success. There is a subplot involving a mysterious
hitman named the Caretaker. The identity of him(?) is
a shocker.

Summary: What fun!
Review: FLY ME TO THE MOON is a real hoot! Wickedly funny, and totally fresh. Sophia and Ben were made for each other, and the sassy secondary characters only add to the fun. Yay, Kylie Adams!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sassy and Hip!
Review: FLY ME TO THE MOON is an action packed, off-the-wall love story riddled with quirky characters and a hilarious, screwy plot. Unlikely lovers, Sophia and Ben quickly captured my heart and sent me over the moon! Don't miss this one--it's so unique it'll keep you smiling while humming Frank Sinatra tunes all week.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Perfect!
Review: I absolutely love this book. I read it while on vacation and couldn't stop laughing out loud. My cousin made me promise to let her read it next. lol Anyway, I loved the dark and handsome Ben. I loved the humorous dialogue and the wonderful characters. So modern and...well..just wonderful. I could relate to Sofia on so many levels and yet it was nice to have her be a little wild and spontaneous. I would definately recommend this to anyone who wants to start reading romances, or even to those readers who love Fabio novels!

Summary: Fly Me To The Moon
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I love that Sofia is so unapologetically shallow---always over the line on her credit cards, blowing her 401K on must have shoes and matching bag. I was a little concerned when she and Ben were flying to CA and she decided to curtail "certain activities" until she had her head straight, but then, just like a real human being confronted with a handsome, romantic "prince", she gave in. I thought Ben was a doll. How fun to have a hero that wasn't some sullen, brooding hunk with deep dark secrets. How fun to have guy who made an obsession with the "uncool" (Frank Sinatra) so cool you want to run out and buy every album he ever made. An old friend is gay AND P.R. and it blew me away, the realism of Ricky's relationship with his parents. The same for Debi---being a Junoesque woman myself---I knew where Debi was coming from. But then Adams lost it. I almost put the book down when Debi and Vincent met face to face at the speed-dating thing. So why did Debi have to end up with her sister's reject. I think it would have been a lot more interesting if Debi had either found herself and decided she'd rather be alone than with some loser who let himself be jilted at the altar 3 times or else she had gotten to hook up with some charmer who saw beyond Society's insistence on size 2 and appreciated the smart, funny woman she was. I mean, even at the end---Sfia's going off to launch her cosmetic comapny, Debi's preparing top give birth. I think Kylie could have done better there. But other than that quibble with a secondary character's treatment, I enjoyed this book and will watch out for future efforts. Oh---and the acknowledgements page really was fun!
