I loved Rebecca Yarros’s book The Last Letter. It blew me away and had me feeling all kinds of emotions. I was hoping for the same from In the Likely Event. Although this book was enjoyable, it was lacking some of the magic of the other book I have read by her.
Izzy and Nate have a chance meeting that beats most others out there. They met on a plane (her first plane ride) and it went down, they both changed, things changed, etc. They come together then they have to part. They are perfect for each other, but timing and obstacles are tricky things. Nate is in the military serving in Afghanistan and Izzy is a politician who went to Afghanistan to get her sister, a journalist out. Nate just so happens is tasked with protecting Izzy during that time. Things are a tad awkward initially as they have not seen each other in some time but….
I say it every time, romance novels are about the journey and Yarros takes both Nate and Izzy on a will-we-ever-get-the-timing right journey. Their journey is told through both the past and present day and with both characters’ POV. Readers are given glimpses into their chance meetings and feelings. I enjoyed them both and kept my fingers crossed for them.
This is a wartime romance, and it may hit too close to home for some. There may be some triggers, so be advised.
Enjoyable second chance romance. Now I am off to request a copy of Fourth Wing! Which I hear is amazing!
Thank you to Montlake and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
