Dangerous Descent
Evie Jacobs
Romantic Suspense
Pilot Elise Hughes left the family business in the Florida Keys and now flies the rich and powerful to and from the Rocky Mountains. When she has to execute a by-the-book emergency landing, it’s no big deal. But being stranded in a small town with her handsome new colleague is something else entirely.
Obsessed with getting justice for his murdered father, undercover FBI agent Eric Erickson believes retribution is finally within reach. Until things get complicated. And dangerous. And he’s forced to face a few too many realities—including Elise’s connection to a well-known crime boss.
After Elise is kidnapped by the same man who took Eric’s father, he has a choice to make—find Elise or exact revenge. Meanwhile she has a choice of her own—trust the dangerous family she never knew she had or the man who’s been lying to her from the start.
Uncaged Review: This is tagged as a romantic suspense, but it’s more of a mafia romance. Elise has been working as a pilot and moved to the Rockies to get some independence from her family business that her brothers run in the Keys. She flies rich people around, not really knowing much about them except that they’re clients. When she gets a new colleague, things start getting strange.
This book moves quickly into some sketchy situations, Elise finding out more about her family than she ever knew, and even her new co-pilot has his secrets. All hell will break loose pretty fast. This is a very well-paced story, and the secrets that are kept from Elise are majorly life changing, and things will heat up pretty fast with her new co-worker, Eric. I had a pretty good feel for Elise and even her brothers, and a few of the other characters in the story, but Eric was harder to grasp for me. He started out as a decent agent, but he got a bit sloppy.
Overall, I think this is a good debut and even though the danger in the book never felt too spine-tingling, it was a good story and a good start. Reviewed by Cyrene
