Welcome to Serene Reads & Dramatic Escapes by Moushmi!
Hey there! I’m Moushmi. This is my little space on the internet where I talk about books that feel like soft escapes or dramatic whirlwinds—sometimes both at once. If you enjoy stories that blend humor with heart (and occasionally make you crave noodles mid-chapter), you’ll feel right at home here.

Blog Overview:
Here, we go beyond just "Did I like it?" This space is for books that make you feel, scream internally, and reread scenes like you're watching your favorite K-drama. And Mile High? She delivered. I gush about books that feel like a full-blown experience. You know this book is the kind. You pick it up thinking “cute sports romance,” and before you know it, you're obsessed, emotionally invested, and wondering how grilled cheese can be romantic.
Summary of the Book:
Stevie Shay, our headstrong flight attendant, meets Zanders, the NHL's golden boy with an ego the size of a private jet. What starts as mutual annoyance soon turns into sizzling tension, emotional vulnerability, and a love story that unfolds mid-air and on ice. It's not just about romance—it's about trust, healing, and falling for someone who sees past the walls you've built.
Review:
Okay… where do I even start?!
Mile High completely took me by surprise—in the BEST way possible. I thought I was walking into a fun little sports romance, but what I got? A full-blown obsession. The moment I finished the last page, I wanted to flip right back to page one and start over. THAT kind of obsession.
Let’s talk Stevie she’s that girl. Sharp. Grounded. Zero tolerance for nonsense (especially from a cocky hockey player like Zanders 🙃). She felt so real, like someone you’d want in your corner. I was rooting for her like she was my best friend.
And then there’s Zanders. Whew. I was not ready. He comes off as your classic swagger-filled athlete, but then BAM—you hit the soft side, the emotional layers, the protectiveness. He's the definition of a walking contradiction in the best way. Hot and emotionally available? Yes, please.
Now, their chemistry?
✨ OFF. THE. CHARTS. ✨
We’re talking slow-burn tension that makes your heart ache, playful banter that makes you grin, and the kind of spicy scenes that make you want to text your book bestie at 2am. Liz Tomforde nailed it. The emotional vulnerability tucked between the heat? Actual magic. I was out here giggling, blushing, and even getting teary-eyed over a hockey player and a flight attendant.
Also, the setting? Chef’s kiss. The aviation + sports world crossover was so fresh. And the grilled cheese scene? ICONIC. 🍞🧀
Would I recommend it?
If you love slow burn, found family, sports romance, and “touch her and die” energy?
ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY.
I’m officially a Liz Tomforde girlie, and yes—I immediately dove into The Right Move after this. No regrets.
This book had everything:
💘 Tension that builds so well
🔥 Spice that doesn’t overpower but adds
💬 Banter you’ll want to screenshot
💔 Real emotional depth
📚 Side characters you’ll want full novels for
About the Author:
Liz Tomforde writes romance that simmers with tension and dives deep into emotion. Her Windy City series is for anyone who loves character-driven stories with athletes who fall hard and women who hold their own. Her storytelling blends heat with heart, and after Mile High, I am officially reading everything she writes.
Personal Reflection:
One quote that stayed with me long after I finished the book was:
“You don’t have to love your body every single day. That’s unrealistic to expect, but I’ll be here loving it for the days you can’t.”
As someone who has struggled with body insecurities, this line felt deeply comforting. It reminded me that it’s okay to have days when I don’t feel my best, and that love doesn’t disappear just because I’m not feeling confident. Sometimes, we just need one person—real or fictional—to hold that safe space for us. This quote captured the kind of quiet, unwavering support we all deserve, and that made the book feel even more personal to me.
