"An admirable heroine, a hot hero, and an unusual slice of life but a story longer than necessary"

Fresh Fiction Review

Dangerous Prey
Lindsay McKenna

Reviewed by Patricia Woodside

Romance

Part Native American, Sky McCoy has never fit in so he's crafted a life as a raptor rehabilitator that allows him to remain isolated amid the nature and birds he loves and with which he is at ease. In truth, that's only part of why he's in hiding. The other part has to do with his youthful past, a part that continues to haunt him even now.

Kelly Trayhern is a grounded helicopter pilot, in need of physical and emotional healing. She and Sky were close once upon a time. Now he must sacrifice his solitude to help Kelly as she once helped him.

I typically enjoy books that give me a heroine I can admire, a hero who is hot, and a look at a slice of life I might not otherwise know about. Lindsay McKenna's DANGEROUS PREY gave me all of those things, including opening a window in the world of raptor rehabilitation. It was an interesting story but for me, it could have been about a hundred pages shorter and not missed a single beat. After some early events that set the stage for the rest of the tale, it plodded along for the first two hundred pages. Then, the action picked up and moved along at a swift pace, making the second half of the book a pleasurable read.

SUMMARY

Expert pilot Kelly Trayern thrives on risk-- and nothing's more exiting than fighting fires, dropping water from her helicopter onto the blazes below. But on one especially perilous mission, the furious flames change her life in a way she never expected...

Raptor rehabilitator Sky McCoy had his own dreams of flying, dreams that were brutally crushed when he was a teenager, and only the quick actions of fearless Kelly Trayhern saved his life. He had to leave her then, but he's never forgotten her--and when she needs him most, nothing will keep him away.

Now the mysterious Native American is determined to heal Kelly's spirit as he heals his birds of prey. But can he save her life despite the evil threat he knows is looming, waiting to destroy everything he knows is looming, waiting to destroy everything he loves?
