Everyone calls Chief Warrant Officer Sarah Benson "Blue Eyes." She's a tough-as-nails Medevac Blackhawk helicopter pilot who rescues wounded military in Afghanistan. Sarah is very good at her job, but no one gets very close to her on a personal level. US Navy SEAL Ethan Quinn is stationed at Camp Bravo like Sarah. He's been watching her for some time, trying to figure out how to get to know her. The opportunity presents itself on two back-to-back occasions. Ethan rescues Sarah twice in one day from bad situations involving men who try to force themselves on her. The door is open to at least become acquainted and get to know her, but Ethan has some subversive measures in mind, as well. And those subversive measures seem to do the trick. A friendship blossoms quickly with the hope of a budding romance, until Sarah gets scared and runs. Sarah is a risk taker when it comes to flying, but can she risk her heart to Ethan? Can they both find common ground for a relationship in their chaotic lives?

RISK TAKER is a powerfully moving love story, but also a military thriller with some potent action. Sarah is a strong character, a true woman warrior, yet she needs inner healing to help her possess self-worth. Ethan is determined, just like a Navy SEAL, to be the person who helps Sarah heal. Giving up is not in his vocabulary. Lindsay McKenna has given us a wonderful read with RISK TAKER and promises a sequel to finish Ethan and Sarah's story.
