Freefall
HE'S HER ONLY HOPE...
Park
ranger Hope Banning's plans for a little R & R are put on hold when
a plane crashes at the top of a remote mountain. Hope will have to
climb the summit and assess the situation. And the only climbing partner
available is Sam Rutherford- the enigmatic man she spent a night with
six months ago.
FOR STAYING ALIVE...
Ever
since Sam lost his girlfriend in a falling accident, he insists on
climbing solo. But Hope and any potential survivors need his help. As
Sam and Hope set out on an emergency search-and-rescue mission, he
realizes the sparks still sizzle between them. And when they learn a
killer is among the survivors, they must place their trust in each other
for a chance at happiness.
4 flames for Freefall.
What
do you get when you put together four characters each with a big load
of baggage, add in some drug dealing, white water rafting, mountain
climbing, car chases and a dash of romance? Freefall.
I
really enjoyed this. There was a ton of action, which I love, and the
pacing supported it very well. The first 75% of the book is pretty much
non-stop action, with plenty of twists and turns I didn’t expect. I
thought the action scenes were well-written and exciting, and it was
hard to put the book down.
As
for the romantic elements of the book, I found the relationship between
Hope and Sam to be believable. They are both hiding from the things
they don’t want to face, and both had a sense of honor that brought them
together. There was chemistry between them, and I didn’t have any
issues with it when the “L” word came up. Javier and Faith made an
interesting couple as well, and their part in the story was a pleasant
and welcome surprise. The author did a good job of making me like the
“bad guy”.
This was a fun summertime read. If you like action adventure with a touch of romance, you might like this too.
Thanks to Harlequin and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review.
