Book Description
It's 1985. Malachi Blackfeather has spent
twenty years in the Army. Two of those years as a Vietnam POW. Now that
he's out, all he wants is some peace and quiet to figure out what to do
with the rest of his life. Between the flashbacks, and an over interest
in sex that is now being called sex addiction, finding his path isn't
easy.
Kat is trying to escape an abusive marriage. Her soon to be ex is a master at manipulating the system, and her family thinks she should stay with him, "because no other man will want her." She's looking for escape in any form she can get it.
When they meet, sparks fly. Trapped by a blizzard, can two damaged people, who think there is no chance of love in the world for them, find each other, and survive an unforeseen circumstance that puts both of them in danger?
Mystery, romance, and danger, fill this novel, with a story that will draw you in and not let go.
My Review
Life Flight is a book I highly recommend. It is
an intense story of love and hate and revenge, of the destructive power of people’s
narrow-mindedness and prejudice and of the healing power of mutual
understanding and love.
The story of two misfits, Kat and Malachi. Two
people with their own inner hell to live and the same outer intolerable world to
face.
Kat’s story is that of a stepdaughter, victim of
physical and mental abuse and unkindness, as most step kids suffer around the
world. This will not ‘tame’ her as intended, but only bring to the surface her wild side.
Kat is now a young woman living in the world of
men where the saying “what’s good for the gender is good for the goose, too”,
never applies. She is known as a woman of not so high morals, a sexual addict,
consequently, worthy of all the contempt of those around her. Even of women
more wicked than her. “Sexual addict,” she
said. She made a rude noise. “Hunter sounds better, addict, addicted to what?
I’m not addicted to men, or women, I
want to feel something, want to fill the dead zone inside of me with
something--so I’m always hunting for the person or thing that will fill it.”
Malachi’s story is that of a former Vietnam
soldier who carries with him all the tormenting memories of war, flashbacks of
those times haunting him. Everything my life had
been for the last twenty-five years rang like a bad dream, a nightmare from the
pits of Vietnam.
For both Kat and Malachi ‘Fear was easy; joy
came hard’.
Kat and Malachi meet and what is, at first,
just a one-night-stand encounter evolves to a deeper mutual feeling. ..with Kat I knew I would keep feeling what I was. Alive. Warm. As if I had
a soul inside me, not just a demon who preyed on others for my next fix of
emotions. The
chemistry between them is almost palpable.
It’s a story with unexpected twists and turns
that will keep you glued to the pages, told in an interesting way: Malachi first
POV and Kat third POV. The sensual scenes perfectly matched the characters and
their feelings. The book is recommended to readers of +18.
My rating Five Stars
