Standing Bear's Surrender

by Peggy Webb

He lost his wings...Blue Angel Naval Commander Jim Standing Bear lived to fly. And when that was taken away from him one dark night, his ability to walk had mysteriously disappeared with it. Until one not-so-dark night when a dancing angel caught his eye...And found his heart. Lovely and innocent, Sarah Sloan had never been as entranced by any man as she was by the wounded warrior who was Jim Standing Bear. And though he was clearly terrified to let himself get too close, Sarah knew that once he was back on his feet - not to mention in the air - his fears would simply melt away. As would, she hoped, the bars over his heart...

Reviews

[Saly · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a strictly okay read for me. There was too much of wish-washiness in the characters and the romance. The heroine has just moved in next door with her father who has Alzheimer's. The hero has been unable to walk since his accident that took his wings. Our heroine is a do-gooder who doesn't think she is pretty and makes a friendly overture to the hero who is rude & then comes back to apologize. She ropes him in to mentor her school kids. Even when the hero starts walking he thinks he doesn't have much to offer her since his future is uncertain, she doesn't think she is his type & then add in some melodrama with her father's health situation. Average.

I loved this book. The hero is hot and wounded. The heroine is sweet and likable, and there is passion and love. What more to ask for?

I love Jim, and Sarah is likable. Some elements are a little far fetched, but overall a really good, short read.
