Dieses Buch hat mir sehr viel bedeutet - obwohl die Geschichte mit mir nicht direkt etwas zu tun hat, hatte sie mir doch sehr viel über mich selbst zu sagen. Dazu kam noch ein sehr guter Unterhaltungswert und glaubwürdige Figuren. Die Heldin macht eine spannende Entwicklung durch, die ich sehr gern begleitet habe. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Staying alive in the 21st century is a full-time job - one which self-confessed scaredycat Jo Morgan takes very seriously indeed. As a little girl growing up near Greenham Common Air Base, she stockpiled baked beans in case of nuclear holocaust; now she works in accident prevention, trying to protect the rest of us from conker injuries, killer tea-cosies and death by chocolate. But she's happy - well, as happy as anyone can be in these dangerous times. Fortunately her boyfriend Dennis, Deputy Chief Civil Protection Officer, shares her outlook on life, so everything they do together involves the minimum possible risk. From their social lives to their sex lives, spontaneity is not in their vocabulary. Yet when Jo survives a hit and run accident, she realizes beaten the odds. Maybe a bit of living dangerously is just what Jo needs. But un-learning a lifetime of fears and phobias won't be easy. That is, until she meets former World War II fighter pilot Roger 'Frisky' Freeman Van Belle, his mysterious grandson, and a rather hands-on doctor. Jo has a choice: Fight or Flight? She can carry on living half a life, or leave behind the people she loves. It's the scariest decision she'll ever have to make. No library descriptions found. |

Nice idea, but all a bit predictable - knew fine well what was going to happen & who would end up with who. The saving grace was the character Frisky, loved him, but would have liked to know more about him & his life. Regardless, didn't stop me reading it at a pace or enjoying it's lack of depth.
Ok for a quick read that doesn't require any concentration etc. - typical holiday reading. Having said that, there are other authors that I'd choose before I picked another by this author. No, let's face it - I won't be reading anything else by this author.
