From EPIC Award winning author and multiple Lambda Finalist L.A. Witt comes the re-release of three hot contemporary novellas -- Getting off the Ground, Infinity Pools, and On The List.
After being stood up at the altar, compulsive over-planner Elliott Chandler decides to turn his honeymoon on Oahu into a vacation for one. Fate puts a hitch in his plans, however, when the airport is snowed in and his flight is delayed.
In the terminal, the jilted groom catches the eye of another stranded traveler the laidback and very sexy Derek Windsor. Derek breaks the ice and strikes up a conversation, and as the temperature drops outside, the heat between them rises. Pity they’re both going to different islands, but if their flight doesn’t get off the ground fast, Mr. Calm-and-Cool may just tempt Mr. Play-It-Safe into doing something reckless.
And that plane isn’t going anywhere any time soon…
Changing Plans edition by LA Witt Romance eBooks
This book is the full version of three novellas which follow jilted groom Elliott Chandler (on his wedding day, yet!) and international corporate finance gay playboy Derek Windsor from the Seattle airport to the island of Maui in Hawaii, and back again, and back again, ad infinitum. It's a sweet, exceptionally scorching, tale of two mid-30s professionals caught in a serendipitous romance which has "no strings" written across it from the start...until things change. And change they do, for the better.The first two parts are told from Elliott's point of view, the third part from Derek's. Without tipping you off as to how it starts, proceeds and ends (all of which will give up the spoiler ghost), let me offer the following observations:
1) It's beautifully written and captures not only the deep feelings of each character, but also is a lovely travelogue of Maui and another smaller island, Molokai. The thing you get about Elliott and Derek is that they are sort of Northwest versions of the East Coast upper-middle class white guys, well-turned out, very intelligent, imbued with rapier wits, somewhat hesitant to be hooked (again, in Elliott's case, for ever in Derek's). The descriptions of the island, and island life, are simply told but could not be better if you had a four-color brochure or accompanying video.
2) The plot line is carefully, and very logically, drawn out, moving along at a pace that is comfortable, one that inevitably leads you to realize what is likely to develop along the way. You probably will be wrong in that estimation, because there are one or two nice twists, one seriously not nice twist, and no punches pulled.
3) The sex is amazing and frequent.
4) Finally, there is a tirade near the end by one of the characters that is so deeply drawn and felt that you almost cannot believe it comes from this character--until you realize that author Witt has built his persona up along the way to make it logical that the words would come out of his mouth, because they come from his heart.
5) I argued with myself that I really don't like the cover of this book so much because the sunglasses on these guys make them look too much alike--until I realized, in the end, that they are almost identical psychological twins. Pretty neat trick, Ms. Witt, and one I absolutely loved.

Changing Plans edition by LA Witt Romance eBooks Reviews
Originally released as three novellas—Getting Off the Ground, Infinity Pools, and On the List—this collection brings those all together and I’m actually very glad I was able to read and listen to this as one complete story. Given where the first two novellas ended, it would have driven me nuts to have to wait to read the next one each time as I loved this story of starting over and finding “the one”.
I found it easy to identify with Elliott—not from the left-at-the-altar aspect, but from the point of having to start over, and learning to take a chance. As for Derek, I always love a “player finds ‘the one’” trope, and boy was it tremendously satisfying to watch as Derek fell for Elliott. The circumstances that bring them together, and the way Elliott decides to go off his carefully scripted life made for such a good read, and I did not want to put this book down…or take off my headphones.
It’s become almost cliché to say a couple has chemistry that’s off the charts, or scorching hot, or any one of a number of similar phrases. Elliott and Derek? You can take all those phrases and just obliterate them with what they have together. And their wanting of each other is so persistent the also overused phrase of ****ing like bunnies would be quite appropriate…though even as intensely passionate and physical as they are, I only found that borderline gratuitous as opposed to over the top. Why? Because those scenes demonstrated how much they wanted each other and led to a deeper emotional connection, and even when they would purposely try to do things apart they were still drawn back to each other. The fact that the author can write these scenes so well doesn’t hurt either (and oh the kissing…*sigh*).
The first two novellas take place in Hawaii, and even with all of the physical scenes there is still plenty of story time devoted to enticing descriptions of the islands—so well done that I find myself wanting to rearrange my budget for a trip. It was easy for me to picture those scenes and see in my mind the beauty of the locations, especially since the first two parts are told from Elliott’s point of view, and it’s his first trip there.
The third novella is told from Derek’s point of view, and I was so glad to finally be able to hear his thoughts. With the conflict that arises with his family in this final part of the story, hearing his side of things helped to give the story another injection of emotion and introduce just that one bit of worry to keep things fresh and my attention fully attuned.
This collection is one of my favorite reads from this author, and easily gets a 5-star rating from me. The only thing that bugged me was the sudden change with Derek’s family at the very end as given the time frame it didn’t really ring true for me. But even that was not enough for me to waver in my rating…that’s how much I truly enjoyed the overall collection. As I’m sure you’ve already guessed, this one’s for readers/listeners 18+ for adult language and copious amounts of explicit, holy-hell-that’s-hot sexual content.
The narration I’m already a fan of Charlie David’s deep, soothing voice and have enjoyed the other audiobooks he’s done. But I can honestly say that of all the ones I’ve listened to that he’s narrated, this one is my favorite. He has a smooth, even pace, and so accurately voices the character’s emotions that you feel like you’re right in the middle of the story yourself, particularly when it comes to those physically intimate scenes. This is definitely one story collection where I will always go for the audio version before the ebook version when it comes to future re-reads (well, re-listens). 5 stars for the narration!
