Giovanni grew up helping his uncle Vinnie with his hot air balloon business.  There's tension between them because he doesn't want to take over the business, but when his uncle calls and asks him to make a special flight, his loyalty to family won't let him say no.  His uncle thinks the flight is for an army officer, but as it turns out, Sergeant is a girl with an unusual name.  She's a strong woman that knows about guns and self-defense--not exactly his dream girl.Foul weather comes up when it is too late to turn back, and the two of them crash into the mountains.  In seeking shelter, they find a cabin stocked with rifles.  And then they meet the men who are dealing in illegal arms trades to overthrow the government."Flight Risk" by Suzanne D. Williams is a well-written, enjoyable story with strong characters in a situation that calls for everything they have.  But it's more than just a typical romance because in this story it is the male hero that controls his urges and says no.  It was refreshing to meet a hero that respects women and marriage.The book was also refreshing in the way it handled the physical scenes.  At one point, Maxwell, the bad guy, intends to rape Sergeant and then kill her.  The scene is action packed, full of fear and other emotions, yet it never gets beyond a blouse button.  There's no foul language.  Even the act is referred to by a gentle term.  It gets violent, but it doesn't get gory.  It gets hot, but not immoral.Any lover of sweet romantic suspense will love this story.  It could also be suited for a very mature teen.  It is Christian, but not preachy or moralistic.  It's about prayer and how it can be answered in unusual ways.  I greatly enjoyed reading it, and look forward to the author's next adventure.
