by Tia Williams
New York Times bestselling author Tia Williams returns with an intensely romantic, deliciously sexy tale about a woman searching for her handsome seatmate on a European flight—and the unexpected places her hunt for love leads her.
Sasha Cruz knows types. As a booked-and-busy casting agent, she's always casting—at happy hour, the grocery store, everywhere. She's all about finding the perfect person to slot into the perfect role. What she doesn't do, however, is relationships. Too much energy, not enough time.
On a flight to Paris for work, a chance encounter with her type changes everything. Sasha's seated next to a broodingly attractive mystery man, and sparks fly—but they never exchange contact information. Convinced she's lost out on her soulmate, Sasha emails her work friend for help, but accidentally writes to the entire company worldwide! The international manhunt to find Seat F begins.
Meanwhile Sasha takes matters into her own hands. She hires a smoldering detective she knew in another lifetime—who complicates matters in unforeseen (and irresistible) ways.
With a worldwide search underway, will love take flight for Sasha?
"The book's ending gets pretty chaotic as the mystery takes some wild turns that don't feel necessary to the story but are still entertaining, and the happily-ever-after feels somewhat rushed, but on the whole this is an immensely satisfying love story. Flawed yet lovable characters shine in this celebration of human connection." —Kirkus Reviews
"[Q]uirky but uneven...This doesn't live up to its potential." —Publishers Weekly
"Tia Williams is one of the very best romance writers we have. A forever auto-buy for me." ―Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author
"I don't know what Ms. Williams puts in her books, but frankly I need it on prescription. She is a master at crafting chaotic but instantly loveable characters and fresh, unpredictable, satisfying plots. This book is an absolute delight, balancing heart-wrenching emotion with searing sexual tension and laugh-out-loud humor. Six stars! (I am a Barbecutie now. IYKYK)." ―Talia Hibbert, New York Times bestselling author
"Hilarious, mysterious, and wildly sexy, The Missed Connection is a gift to romance fans who like their swoons with a touch of danger. Tia Williams is the queen of sparkling banter and blazing chemistry. If you miss the Y2K golden age of Black romantic comedies, this is the book you've been waiting for." ―Regina Black, USA Today bestselling author of August Lane
