Helen Rolfe's latest romance, Come Fly with Me, was published by Boldwood on May 22nd and is well worth a read, as the first in her Skylarks series..
Take to the skies in this gorgeous and gripping new series,
perfect for fans of Jo Bartlett and Cathy Bramley.
A Second Chance…
For Maya, serving as a pilot in the Whistlestop River air
ambulance team is a dream come true. And now, with her divorce from her
overbearing husband finally complete, flying over the fields of Dorset, and
saving lives with the Skylarks, is the centre of her world. If only her ex
would accept their separation as readily as she had, life would be perfect…
A fresh start…
Having recently transferred from London to Dorset, paramedic
Noah is ready for a new start. But he’s brought with him a lot of baggage, not
least his infant niece who he’s been looking after since his sister died
unexpectedly earlier that year. Noah adores Eva, but is he really cut out to
look after a baby?
A risk worth taking?
When Noah and Maya find themselves on the same rescue team,
they’re immediately drawn to each other. Yet, with so many complications in
their personal lives, do they have time to open their hearts to someone new?
As their friendship grows, Noah and Maya are both about to
discover that life is worth nothing unless you share it with the people you
love.
My Thoughts
There are quite a few layers in this first of a new series, called The Skylarks. There is plenty of interest and setting establishment around the Skylark's base. Central to the community, it is right at the centre of life. Maya is an interesting character who has issues from her childhood around her relationship with her father following the death of her mother when Maya was a child. Maya is facing an empty nest after her son Isacc's move away to university but there is plenty to fill her life. Her career as pilot to the Air Ambulance Service is central to her life. However, there is also the negative influence of Maya's ex-husband who seems to be ignoring the little matter of their divorce.
There are plenty of twists and turns in this story. Noah's arrival as the latest paramedic starts off on the wrong step but their friendship soon grows. Noah has moved to Dorset following the sudden death of his sister and the subsequent guardianship of his niece. Fatherhood is not straightforward. The mystery surrounding why Maya seems to be beholden to the ex-husband she dislikes runs through the story and ultimately reveals a lot about Maya and her past. Family relationships, friendships and community service are all at the heart of this story.
In short: New beginnings and strong friendships
