{Review} Off the Air (Running on Air #1) by L.H. Cosway (@LHCosway)

Spending a month filming a reality TV show with your ex is no picnic.

Especially when you’ve signed a contract stating that the two of you will not, under any circumstances, have romantic relations while filming.

Leanne Simmons and Callum Davidson never had an easy relationship. From enemies to lovers and back to enemies, they’ve been on again/off again for years. Things come to a head when Callum gets into an altercation with a rival for Leanne’s affections. Their management decide enough is enough and give them both an ultimatum: sign the contract or leave the show.

Unwilling to give up their livelihoods, Callum and Leanne sign on the dotted line. However, like always, they can’t resist making a bet. Callum thinks it’s only a matter of time before they break the agreement, while Leanne is determined to see it through.

Can she resist him for an entire month without losing her sanity? And what if this is the one bet that finally breaks them both?

Off the Air is a contemporary romance and Book One in L.H. Cosway’s brand new “Running on Air” Series. Each book focuses on a different couple and can be read as a standalone.

​There’s no way that Leanne Simmons is going to open herself up to love again.  The last time she did, she ended up broken - both body and soul. 
 
Having to work every day with the man who reminds her of everything she can never have is going to be tough.  But now it’s not just her heart on the line, it’s also her job.

Over the course of almost four years, I’d taken a chance with him three times, and three times it ended in heartache. The first breakup was the hardest. The second added another crack, and the third, well, the third taught me never to be a fool again. It had been a year since I was last with Cal. I was strong now, and the control felt good, safe. Cal made me wild, he made me take risks, and I wasn’t going back to that ever again.

​Callum Davidson is one of the biggest stars of the TV series - Running on Air.  Not only is he crazy skilled at parkour, his bad boy good looks are the stuff that the female fans of the show dream about.  
 
Being with Leanne completed him in a way that nothing ever has. So when she walked away, he swore he would do anything to get her back.  He would travel around the world and risk everything that he’s worked so hard for.  If she would only love him as much as he loves her.

Callum and Leanne are going to have to give it their all to overcome some insurmountable obstacles - from the show, the fans and from each other – if they have any chance at being reunited with the other half of their soul.

I blinked and a tear fell down my cheek. Cal reached up to wipe it away, his voice scratchy, emotion lacing every word. “We’ve always been so busy loading our bullets we never realised we were already covered in battle scars.” His hand moved down over my shoulder to my neck, his fingertips brushing my collarbone. “But I always took every bullet you wanted to shoot at me, because being hated by you felt better than being loved by anyone else.”

Off the Air is L.H. Cosway at her angsty best! The push and pull between Callum and Leanne sizzles with wild intensity. It makes the entire story feel a bit frenetic or just like being caught on a runaway rollercoaster.
 
But there’s also an underlying sadness that gives each of the characters a special kind of fragility. The kind that only L.H. can create. 
 
It’s exhilarating, heartbreaking and life affirming all at the same time.  And I can’t wait to see where in the world  Running on Air will take us next…
