Blog Tour: Something in the Air by Helen Rolfe

When a baby is left on the doorstep of the Air Ambulance base in Whistlestop River, Nadia, the Operational Support Officer is the person who finds it. For Nadia, seeing the barely two weeks old baby abandoned is a bit triggering. Whilst she is a very generous and open person with her fellow team members, she is a closed book when it comes to her past. 

Patient and Family Liaison Nurse, Hudson, is also somewhat secretive about his private life. He hasn't told the team that he is now divorced from his ex wife Lucinda and is the primary carer for his two children. His young daughter, Carys, seems to have mostly adapted to the situation with her parents but fifteen year old Beau is more difficult. He is quite moody and uncommunicative and doesn't seem to appreciate the fact that Hudson has had to work more hours in order to help keep the roof over their heads.

As far as Nadia knows, Hudson is happily married, so she is trying very hard to not be attracted to him, but it is difficult because he is such a great guy, both because of his role helping families but just because of who he is. When Hudson sees that Nadia is quite affected by finding the baby, he is keen to help her, and to understand why.

When Nadia left her past behind, she was determined that it would stay there, but as a result of an interview that she does about finding the baby, someone turns up that she would rather not see, and it is Hudson that supports her.

Hudson also has his own issues to deal with, particularly in relation to co-parenting and Beau's attitude. Do either of them have time to pursue anything more than just friends?

I really like reading about the work that the Skylarks do, for example, the emergency situations that they deal with. It was also interesting to see some of the other roles. For example, Hudson is the person who often has to explain to the families about what actions were taken, and what might happen next and Nadia's role including managing volunteers, organising fundraising events and so much more. 

It was good too see updates from some of the characters from the previous two books in the series, and I hope to see them again soon!

I am sharing this review with the New Release Challenge hosted by The Chocolate Lady's Book Reviews. Be sure to check out other stops on the tour shown below. Thanks to the publisher, Netgalley and Rachel's Random Resources for the review copy.

About the Book

Something in the Air

A surprise arrival

Working with the Whistlestop River air ambulance is Nadia's whole world. She adores her job and the team – they’re family. But when a baby is abandoned on the steps of the base, Nadia is forced to confront events from her past she’d rather forget.

A difficult change

Hudson is trying to get his life back on track after his divorce. It’s not easy juggling his work as a patient and family liaison officer and being the primary parent for his children. He wouldn’t change it for the world. But when his teenage son’s behaviour spirals out of control, Hudson begins to wonder if he can really be there for everyone who needs him…

A chance for something special?

Nadia and Hudson have always been friends, but the arrival of baby Lena pushes them closer than ever, and as their feelings start to grow, they’ll have to decide – do they have space for love when their families need them? And could they put themselves and each other first, just this once?
