Meredith Appleyard
Reviewed by Helen
I have had this book sitting on my TBR pile for over a year now and I am sorry I didn’t read it earlier, it is my first Meredith Appleyard book but it won’t be the last, she has taken me on a journey of opening hearts, finding love and letting go of the past and looking to the future as Anna and Nick find the joy that love can give.
Anna Kelly always dreamed of being a pilot and while living in Broken Hill in her last years of high school Anna started having flying lessons, but her trainer also taught her a lot more than flying, she became a single mother struggled but did finished those lessons and became a pilot, her and her daughter are doing well and now Anna is back in Broken Hill and flying for the Royal Flying Doctor Service and loving it, but she is not looking for love or a man in her life but Nick Harrison one of the nurses seems to be pulling her in a different direction.
Nick is back in Broken Hill and working for few months on contract as a nurse with the RFDS things have been hard for Nick over the last couple of years and he is doing his best to move on and when he sees that one of the pilots is Anna who he was in high school with his teenage dreams of Anna are pushing him towards her now, in his eyes she is still beautiful but a bit more aloof these days, but he is determined to get to know her better this time.
There is a lot going on the lives of both Anna and Nick and at times I could have yelled at them both, but the sensual pull is always there, but there is a lot more to a relationship than sex and it took both of them a while before they finally opened up. MS Appleyard pulled me into this one so much, it is moving, emotional and a sensual journey, I felt the pain of Anna and Nick and then the pure joy, this is one that I thoroughly enjoyed and I highly recommend.
