In the Likely Event

De: Rebecca Yarros

Narrado por: Carly Robins, Teddy Hamilton

From the instant New York Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing, Rebecca Yarros, comes a sweeping romance about the sustained power of chance encounters.

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Yarros explores the horrors of war and the aftermath of traumatic experiences. Her authentic characters feel equally strong and vulnerable, and their will-they-won’t-they hits all the right notes…Readers are sure to be moved.” —Publishers Weekly

“An undeniable connection between two people amidst chaos intertwines to pack a satisfying emotional punch.” —Heidi McLaughlin, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author

“In the Likely Event is propulsive. It grips you from the moment Izzy and Nate lay eyes on each other and never lets you go. I couldn't stop reading, swooning, or letting my jaw drop with every twist and turn the story took. But you're always safe in Rebecca Yarros's hands.” —Ali Rosen, James Beard nominated host of Potluck with Ali

Oh my, be still my heart.

What a wonderful story to get lost in… the time jumps are a little distracting but the story itself is so wonderful. Great choice of narrators. So easy to get invested in the story. I wish it was another hour or two longer. Pure bliss. Absolutely loved it!

Love the chemistry!

Nice slow burn, not too graphic but still steamy! Loved the character development and angst!

I couldn’t put it down

Loved Izzy and Nate’s relationship. You can feel their chemistry and I loved the anual vacation idea. Great story, great narrators.

First military romance read ❤️

This author is absolutely fantastic and I really really loved the performance. Would 100% recommend

Fabulous, engaging story

Such a great story. I was all in front the very beginning and binged the audiobook! The story kept me engaged and waiting to learn more!

Awesome story, great narration

The story is amazing. Even though I hate Izzie’s name, I love everything about this book. I love them together
The narration was great

The possibilities

My first book by Rebecca and I really enjoyed her writing. She blended past & present well.

I also enjoyed the characters themselves and was brought into their world seamlessly.

I struggle with one thing and it left a bad taste in my mouth that was hard to ignore. Maybe it's just a pet-peeve of mine, I don't know, but I don't like how much sleeping around Izzy and Nate did once they've met. It was like an open relationship, but like it wasn't? I don't know. It gave me the ick.
I love when a couple meet for the first time and their world is changed. Not this concept of looking forward to seeing them again but having side relationships on the way? It watered down their relationship.

Typical Romance

Story was enjoyable enough. Nothing special really. If you’re a romance fan, you’ll like this. Loved the male narrator. The female, not so much. I hated listening to her sections. She read like some customer service prerecorded phone service. “For information, press 1”, this was the vibe she gave. Grated on my last nerve. I almost gave up listening because of her. Would have given this 5 stars all around but for her performance.

Really great story

The narration was great, the story was well structured and the characters were well developed. I will look for more books by this author. I really enjoyed this book!

The love 2 people had for each other but Duty always taking priority.

I could read this book several times and still get excited like it was the first time. The way a life and death situation brought 2 people together, it gave the love they had for each other a solid foundation!!
I would highly recommend reading!!
