In the Likely Event by Rebecca Yarros

When Izzy Astor gets on a plane to go home, she isn’t expecting much. It’s the usual holiday travel experience: busy, crowded, stressful.

Then she spots her seatmate, who is anything but ordinary. Nate Phelan sports dark hair, blue eyes, and a deliciously rugged charm that Izzy can’t resist. Their connection is undeniable. Izzy never believed in destiny before, but she does now.

Just ninety seconds after takeoff, their plane goes down in the Missouri River.

Their lives change. They change. Nate goes on to a career in the military while Izzy finds her way into politics. Despite a few chance encounters over the years, the timing never feels right.

Then comes a high-stakes reunion in Afghanistan, where Nate is tasked with protecting Izzy’s life.

He’ll do anything to keep her safe. And everything to win her heart.



Absolutely loved this book. Izzy and Nate are a couple who can just not seem to get their timing right. They met for the first time, by chance, on a plane...that went down. Their subsequent meetings are by chance and fleeting but the chemistry and connection are undeniably present. The timing has never worked out for them between Nate's military career and Izzy's advancements in her career but they find their paths meet again--in Afghanistan. Can the two of them sort out their unresolved feelings? Will they finally get their chance?

Though I can recognize the issues people have with the bones of this book, as a story, I loved it--a story of chance, timing, chemistry and destiny. Is it farfetched? Sure, but I'm not reading for historical, political or current event accuracy. 



Bailout by MM Flynn

The instant connection that sparked in Booker continues in a way that no one expected…

This is the third time my life has fallen apart.

What I had pretended to be in the past is now banging on the door of my present.

After living so many different lives, each one is a more faded version of myself. Who am I now? Who do I want to be?

Does Sam feel my body desperately reaching for his?

I don’t know who I am if I don’t mean anything to Kat.

After Kat dropped a bomb on my life, I’m filling my time with parties and fake shit. I need something else to keep me going. Something that won’t make me think about her.

I’m somehow still tied to her. Like our connection is too tightly knotted to be unwound.

I will always, always crawl back to her. Wherever she is.




Bailout was a good continuation of the series. It picks up right where Booker left off. Kat's secret is out and now we are watching how everything is unfolding. We get a lot more of Kat's back story in this book and it's heavy. When the two wind back up in the same space, they get a big surprise that intertwines the two even further. Sam steps up and we get to see both him and Kat both doing what they need to better build a life together.   I didn't feel overly connected to either Kat or Sam--I didn't find either of them relatable. That being said, this book (and series) moves fast and is still an enjoyable read.

Blog Tour: Booker by MM Flynn

One accident. One sizzling connection. A million reasons why this shouldn’t work.

Quiet and simple is how I like my life. Until Sam Booker—snowboarder, charmer, heartbreaker—crashes into my world and changes everything. I’m supposed to help him heal, but he’s not the only one that’s hurting.

He insists we’re destined. But are his feelings real?

Kat Peters is mine.

I want to show her the world, push her boundaries, but she won’t leave her life on the bunny hill in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

I may have woken up a different man, but I need to prove to her, to everyone, that I am the man that was made for her.


Booker is available for purchase:

 Pre-Order BAILOUT now!



When I started this book, the first thought to cross my mind was that whole love at first sight is always so cheesy. The way Booker fell for Kat before even opening his eyes was a bit farfetched but, hey, it worked out for them. For most of the book, I felt like Booker was a bit over the top with his insta-obsession for Kat so much so that I almost felt bad for Kat for having to deal with his over the top feelings (that, at times, gave me the "but why?"). There was not enough character and story development for my liking and it felt like the story ended up moreso just moving from one steamy scene to the next and less of a developing story. The ending was not what I expected, leaving me with a lot of questions to be answered but I supposed that's what a cliffhanger is all about--left me wanting to read the next book just to get some closure from this first book!
