Mile High by Liz Tomforde
Zanders
Without me, everyone’s favourite player to despise, Chicago hockey wouldn’t be complete. I am adept at my role and am aware of it. I actually really love spending most of the game in the penalty box before leaving the venue each night with a different girl on my arm.
The new flight attendant on the team’s private plane is what I don’t like. She does not work for me; rather, I do the work. But I’ll make sure to remind her of that, and I’ll bet she’ll beg to resign from her job by the end of the season.
However, every road trip makes the lines hazier, and I’m not sure if I keep pressing the flight attendant’s call button to keep pushing her buttons or if it’s anything more.
Stevie
For many years, I worked as a flight attendant. I assumed I’d see it all, but after starting a new job and being assigned to work for the NHL’s most pompous and self-righteous diva, I begin to have second thoughts. For example, I vowed to never again hook up with an athlete, no matter how irksomely alluring he could be.
Evan Zanders is too handsome for his own good and is uncensored, unrepentant, and unapologetic. I despise every aspect of his image, but he adores it. Everybody else but him.

This narrative covers a wide range of subjects, including physical anxieties and mental health. Stevie experienced body issues since she was plus-sized and occasionally felt sensitive or uneasy about her body type, especially when she overheard individuals like her ex-boyfriend, her mother, or her awful coworker criticizing her appearance (Tara). Although Stevie was a strong character, she struggled internally throughout the narrative because she didn’t exactly feel at ease in her own skin.
He was frank and candid with Zanders about his experience receiving therapy and how much it had improved his life. Zanders also had to deal with his estranged mother, who seemed to only desire money from him. Zanders was cautious about who he trusted, thus he was very selective about who he let into his life in that regard. Although Stevie and Zanders were far from ideal, I truly enjoyed watching how they went about improving their mental and emotional well-being.
Zanders was truly compassionate and loving, especially when it came to the people he cared about, even though he may have first been comfortable with the “bad guy” attitude. Eli Maddison, his wife Logan, their two children, and his older sister were close friends with Zander, and he loved and adored them all. Zanders eventually began to care about Stevie once he met her and couldn’t help but want to be near her. Although Stevie experienced her fair share of self-doubt and felt she didn’t fit the standard definition of beauty, Zanders made sure she understood how stunning and magnificent she truly was.
Not to mention that Zanders would mess with anyone who dared to treat Stevie unfairly. I adored watching Zanders become more and more protective of Stevie, especially when it came to her fears. Zanders was constantly quick to reassure Stevie that she was perfect just the way she was and to show him how much he adored everything about her.
