A romance novel about two vets each struggling with his own demons as a result of his time in the service. Thomas deals mostly by trying to hide, and Flynn deals by taking risks he shouldn't and staying in relationships he really shouldn't. This was the best kind of romance novel for me--it is deeply interested in exploring and developing character, and there's a lot of plot ticking away along with the love story. It's also got very nice sentences. Recommended.
What the tide washes in, the past can sweep away. All Dr. Tom Penrose wants is his old life back. He's home in Cornwall after a hellish tour of duty in Afghanistan, but while the village is the same, he isn't. His grip on his control is fragile, and it slips dangerously when Flynn Summers explodes into his life. The vision in tight neoprene nearly wipes them both out in a surfing mishap-and shatters Tom's lonely peace. Flynn is a crash-and-burn in progress, one of only two survivors of a devastating rescue helicopter crash that killed his crew. His carefree charm is merely a cover for the messed-up soul within. The sparks between him and Tom are the first light he's seen in a long, dark tunnel of self-recrimination, which includes living in sexual thrall to fellow crash survivor and former co-pilot, Robert. As their attraction burns through spring and into summer, Tom must confront not only his own shadows, but Flynn's-before the past rises up to swallow his lover whole. Warning: Contains explicit m/m sex, hot helicopter pilots and skin-tight wetsuits. Also, in true British tradition, a tiny bit of joystick innuendo. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This is all from Tom's point of view. I see why she wrote it that way. The themes are serious; damage to soldiers during a war, ongoing physical and sexual abuse and the damage that does, the demands the Atlantic always has for puny humans, autonomy - and the denial of it, community, alcoholism, solitude... I empathized strongly with all these characters, Tom's devotion to doctoring, Flynn's devotion to first-responder rescue flights. I loved the 'sleeper' character who plays such a critical role.
Loved that final confrontation.
Loved that last line. ( )
