Review: Tailspin

 ✩✩✩✩✩

Rye Mallett, a fearless "freight dog" pilot charged with flying cargo to far-flung locations, is often rough-spoken and all business, but soft on regulations when they get in the way of meeting a deadline. But he does have a rock-solid reputation: he will fly in the foulest weather, day or night, and deliver the goods safely to their destination. So when Rye is asked to fly into a completely fogbound northern Georgia town and deliver a mysterious black box to a Dr. Lambert, he doesn't ask questions.

As Rye's plane nears the isolated landing strip, more trouble than inclement weather awaits him. He is greeted first by a sabotage attempt on his plane that causes him to crash land, and then by Dr. Brynn O'Neal, who claims she was sent for the box in Dr. Lambert's stead. Despite Rye's "no-involvement" policy when it comes to other people's problems, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to the intrigue surrounding his cargo . . . and to the mysterious and alluring Brynn.

Soon Rye and Brynn are in a treacherous forty-eight-hour race to deliver the box before time runs out. With everyone from law enforcement officials to hired thugs hot on their heels, they must learn to trust each other so they can protect their valuable cargo from those who would kill for it.

Review: I loved reading Tailspin It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but in the best of ways. The suspense is gripping, each chapter ends in a cliffhanger and you can't put the book down. You just can't wait to see how it ends - there are so many twists and turns that it's almost impossible to guess - and when it does you'll be sad to see it  go. 

The romance side of the book is a bit subdued, but given the limited time frame in which the story unfolds, that is more realistic than a full fledged love story - though the chemistry between Brynn and Rye is still off the charts.

Tailspin held my attention from the first to the last page, so it fully deserves 5 starts. Totally recommended.

Happy readings,
