I received this book for my review. All opinions are my own.
“Navy helicopter pilot Lt. Alison Malone has been assigned to a search and rescue team based at Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada, near the rugged peaks of the Sierra Nevada, and far from her former elite H-60 squadron. A rule follower by nature, Alison is exasperated and outraged every time she flies with her mission commander, “Boomer” Marks, for whom military procedures are merely a suggestion. Alison is desperate to be transferred out of the boonies, where careers stagnate, and back to her life and fiancé in San Diego.
Alison’s defenses start to slip when she meets mountain guide Will Cavanaugh during a particularly dicey mission. Will introduces her to a wild, beautiful world of adventure that she has never known before. Stranded on a mountain during a sudden dangerous blizzard, Alison questions every truth she thought she knew about herself. When Will braves the storm to save her life, she must confront the fact that she has been living a lie. But is it too late to change course?
Full of action and adventure, dangerous and heart-stopping rescues, blizzards and floods, family secrets and second chances, Clear to Lift by Anne A. Wilson is a thrilling woman’s journey as she finds confidence, truth, love, and herself against the majestic backdrop of the Sierra Nevada.”-Forge Books
I love romance and adventure books. I was excited when I received the book, CLEAR TO LIFT, for review.
This book was a quick, thrilling read. The story had a great balance of romance and adventure. Some of the storyline was predictable but I was very invested in the story. Once I got into the story, I could not put this book down. I ended up staying up pretty late one night and read it all in one setting.
I loved the characters in this book. I really liked the main character, Alison. She was a strong female character. I also really liked the love interest, Will. I thought that their relationship was cute.
One thing that I definitely felt added to the book was the experience of the author, Anne A. Wilson. Ms. Wilson was actually an active duty Navy pilot. She served in search and rescue and specialized in high altitude rescues. When I was reading the book, I felt like I was in the helicopter with Alison. The rescue scenes were so detailed and felt so real.
CLEAR TO LIFT is an adult book. Content wise there is some language. The ‘f-word’ is used several times and there is some sexual material.
I thought CLEAR TO LIFT was a fantastic read. It is a great adventure book that will also please romance fans!
CLEAR TO LIFT gets bragging rights!
CLEAR TO LIFT is now available to purchase. You can buy CLEAR TO LIFT on Amazon or other book retailers.
