Angela Lawrey's life revolves around her work as an air traffic controller at FAA's Denver Center. When she successfully averts a near miss in Colorado air space, the news propels her above her peers. Captain Chip Stephens, the Westair pilot who took Angela's orders and saved his passengers, meets his "angel" when she boards his airplane on a Los Angeles-bound flight. He follows her to Kauai where he almost convinces her that she can juggle a career and a commitment. Following a tragic airplane crash on the Colorado prairie, Angela fights to save her reputation and her job. Convinced that asking for help reflects weakness, she stubbornly rebuffs Chip's efforts to help. The southern-raised pilot, determined to win her love, sidetracks her resistance. Eventually, Angela learns that even the toughest heart needs a little tenderness and Captain Stephen's intentions and love are far above ground level.
Ms. Goldstrand tells an engaging story about the inner workings of FAA located in the Rocky Mountain region. It is very true to life and takes us to the Hill country of Texas, Kaui and the front range of Colorado. A Coloradan myself, I found her descriptions realistic and accurate. A frequent traveler, I was amazed at what goes on "behind the scenes" in an FAA facility. She is a great story teller with engaging dialogue and believable characters. Above Ground Level is a must read for the romance follower. I loved the main characters.
