Since he left the Navy, Jet Lassiter has enjoyed his position as a pilot for Argeneau, Inc. He gets to travel and meet interesting people, even if he can’t help but think of them as vampires. Still, he has no complaints, until his plane crashes in a remote mountain area, gravely injuring four of his five passengers, all of whom desperately need blood to heal, with Jet being the only source anywhere nearby.
Quinn Peters was a successful heart surgeon before she was turned immortal against her will. She’s not exactly enjoying life and now she’s been involved in a plane crash. As the only uninjured immortal, she knows she has to help get Jet to safety as he’ll never elude the other immortals on his own.
The crash turns out to be the least of the problems facing Quinn and Jet when they learn that the engines were deliberately sabotaged, and someone is out to kill Quinn. She and Jet can tell they have life mate potential, but there are plenty of obstacles to be dealt with before they explore their future possibilities.
I loved the fast pace of this book. Things got off to a quick start and didn’t slow up so for the first time in quite a while, I was actually reading something that really drew me in. Quinn definitely had a lot of issues to work through and much of her thinking was maddeningly cyclical and not really fair to Jet. Fortunately, she acknowledged her issues and took steps to work through them, with the help of some favorite characters from previous books. Given my frustration with Quinn at first, Jet carried much of this book for me. He was a fantastic hero and just so dang competent and supportive that I couldn’t help but like him immediately, which is probably why I was frustrated with Quinn for taking longer to give him what he deserved. I also found this book refreshing because oftentimes in romance we see the hero trying to make himself worthy of the heroine but this story is a bit of a reversal in that it is Quinn who is working on herself and trying to get her issues taken care of so she can be what Jet needs. I actually found that very sweet and I liked the maturity to be found in the communication between these two. Plus, as always, I loved the devotion shown by life mates to one another; it never fails to make me swoon. This may not be a new favorite for me, but it was another highly entertaining addition to the series and I hope there are more coming as this is one of my favorite universes to escape into.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
