Tina’s Review

She needs a miracle to save the family business
.
Sara resigned from the military to help her father after her father’s helo crash leaves him severely injured. With no other pilots on the roster, Charles Air is in jeopardy of closing their business. She still suffers some battle stress effects and has been left opinionated of the rich and elite because of a tragic loss too close to home that never truly met justice.

He needs someone he can trust to guide him through the hell of flying.

Lucas still, after nearly twenty years, suffers blank spots of lost time from the explosion that forever altered his life in college. He remembers running into the stadium to help trapped victims – then nothing – until he was being lifted into a medevac helicopter, strapped to a gurney. Since then, he’s had a hellava time flying. He’s pretty much the black sheep in his socialite family and often is made to suffer the fallout for his freedoms.

The characters are well-written with good dimension. Their interaction and dialogue is believable and their conflicts are real and not over-the-top. I feel we get a better and more rounded back story on Sara than we do Lucas, but given what we are shown of Lucas’s past, there may not be too much that is desirable to share. The secondary characters add a vibrant fullness to the cast; I love Dougal. The plot is very good, if you can overlook Sara’s reversed snobbery. The story flows very well, however I did seem to notice several words used that conflict with American terminology (ie: lift for elevator, flock for dress / gown, car park for parking lot). The conflicts are finally all sorted out, leaving a satisfactory and solid conclusion.
