The right temptation…
…at the wrong time?
When nurse Chelsea lands in Australia, her plan is
simple: to leave the heartbreaking reason why she can't call London home
anymore on the plane and start over. Yet when Chelsea is introduced to far-too
handsome flight doctor Aaron, it's clear that her “new start, no romance” vow
is already at risk! All Chelsea wants is a summer free from her painful past…
But could a summer of love with Aaron be what she really needs?
Good story about leaving the past behind and starting
fresh. Chelsea left her London life behind to take a post as a flight nurse in
the Australian Outback. Widowed three years earlier, she found out later that
her husband had been a serial cheater. After three years of being faced with
the results of his infidelity every day, she knew she had to get away. She's
determined to take the opportunity to focus on healing and avoid any romantic
entanglements. That vow is in jeopardy from the moment she meets flight doctor
Aaron.
I enjoyed seeing the development of the relationship
between Chelsea and Aaron. Their first meeting was funny but awkward when he burst
into her temporary lodging, not knowing she was there. The sparks between them
were instant, but neither wanted a relationship. Chelsea doesn't trust her judgment
after discovering her husband's betrayal. She was also left feeling that she
wasn't enough for him. Aaron has watched too many people come to the Outback
and then leave after deciding it's not for them. He won't get involved with an
"outsider" who may cut and run.
After an explosive kiss stuns them, Chelsea and Aaron
decide they'd do better to stick to friendship. That doesn't mean either of
them has forgotten the kiss, just that they are trying to resist the
attraction. It takes a few days to get past the awkwardness, but they soon
settle into an easy camaraderie and working relationship. It was fun to see
Aaron introduce Chelsea to life in the Outback, from sheep shearing to emergency
medicine. The more time they spend together, the harder it is to resist the
attraction that pulls them together.
It was fun seeing them spend time together, getting to
know each other. I especially enjoyed seeing Chelsea get comfortable enough
with Aaron to tell him about what dove her to Australia. I loved his support of
Chelsea and his utter disgust with her late husband and in-laws. I also loved
the teasing Chelsea and Aaron received from their friends and coworkers, who
could clearly see what was happening between them. Just as things looked very
promising, Chelsea's past ran against Aaron's fears. I loved her sudden
epiphany regarding the hold her in-laws had on her and what she did about it.
Her emotional reunion with Aaron was outstanding as they finally put their
troubled pasts to rest.
I enjoyed the closeness of the Outback Aeromedical crews.
Their respect and affection for each other show in everything they do. The
portrayal of the rigors of life in the Outback added depth to the story and
made me feel as though I was there. I loved the vivid descriptions of
everything from the sheep shearing (bloody flies!) to the wonder of the
star-filled skies. The medical emergencies reminded me why they were there and
the importance of the role they play.
