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.
