Flight Delay (Antiques in Flight #2) by Nicole Helm: For the past year or so, Lawson Baker and his two boys have been on an emotional roller-coaster and thankfully, life is finally settling down into a regular routine. Lawson was married to Sue, an A-list Hollywood actress who was also a cheater. Her affair was with Justin, a famous director who was also married to Katie, Lawson’s best friend since childhood. When the affair went 
public, Katie went ballistic for a while and caused a whole lot of hurt to both Lawson and his boys.
Now Lawson, his boys and believe it or not Katie, are back in their hometown of Pilot’s Point. Their lives have changed tremendously since leaving the Hollywood scene and getting along will take more than a miracle. Katie yearns for forgiveness and Lawson just needs some peace.
This is the second book in The Antiques in Flight series, following the first book Flight Risk. Although this book is presented as a standalone, I wish I had read Flight Risk first because I found the beginning part of this story to be somewhat confusing. There is a lot going on character-wise and it was difficult to keep the characters straight in my mind. I kept having to go back and reread certain parts in order to ensure I understood what was going on. It was an exhausting process.
I found the first half of the story to be very repetitive. Lawson’s continuing hesitation to understand Katie and ultimately forgive her got old after a while. Their awkwardness around each other becomes so consuming, I stopped caring.
However, there came a point when everything came together and I finally began to enjoy the story, probably a little over halfway through. I may read the first book in order to gain some perspective on the second book. The cover is quite hot.
