My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

The premise is pretty simple. Maya the dog is getting adopted and Isa needs to transport her to another city. Isa hates flying, but it's her only option. So Maya, Isa and their pilot Nate take the flight to Oregon. Everything seems to be going okay and Isa is even enjoying herself, but then the plane has engine failure and they go down...in the water! From that point on its all about survival and trying to get rescued.

I loved Isa and Nate. Their journey was a stressful one and I found myself very invested in their relationship and whether or not they would get rescued. Their situation may have forced them together, but I think they would have connected anyway. 

While this is one of Rachel's shorter books, there is plenty of action. Not only are Isa and Nate not sure if their distress signal actually went out, but there are wildfires close by. Because of that they are forced to move from their crash site and hope for the best. Multiple close calls make this book an exciting one with a nice side of sweet.

Rachel Lacey is a contemporary romance author and semi-reformed travel junkie. She's been climbed by a monkey on a mountain in Japan, gone scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef, and camped out overnight in New York City for a chance to be an extra in a movie. These days, the majority of her adventures take place on the pages of the books she writes. She lives in warm and sunny North Carolina with her husband, son, and a variety of rescue pets.
