Don't miss the spine tingling suspense and tantalizing romance in this thriller about a daring pilot caught in a race against time from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown.
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.
I fell in love with Sandra Brown’s writing many years ago. She has the ability to write both excellent characters and a gripping plot line. I was thrilled to be able to read her newest book, Tailspin, and I must say that it did not disappoint. Brown drops readers right into the action by opening up with a storm and a pilot who likes a challenge. Our main characters, Rye and Brynn, both have interesting back stories and the twists that happen to both of them throughout the entire novel.
This type of action-packed novel is not usually my “go-to” novel, but this thriller involving a dying girl, a crooked senator, thugs, ambitious wife and doctor, this novel runs the spectrum of human emotion, tenacity, and love was just what I needed. I completed the 400 plus pages in no time at all. I wish Sandra Brown were putting out novels as quickly as she used to, but in the mean time I will revel in her latest release, as you should too!
“Dr. Lambert? I expected a man.” “Well, surprise.” Then she kneed him in the balls.
Timmy giggled. “ ‘Wait and see’ means I might get to kill somebody after all.”
Brynn had survived her childhood, which in itself was a miracle. Even more miraculous was that she hadn’t been too badly scarred by it. While other people encountered stumbling blocks in the course of their lives, her impediments had been comparable to mountain ranges.
If you love witty characters and revel in character interactions, then this novel will be one you will adore. It was fast-paced, if a bit predictable, and left me wanting and wishing for more from Sandra Brown. You will not want to put this book down!
