Publisher's summary

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.

Critic reviews

“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

OBSESSED!

I'm completely obsessed with Nate and Izzy! Nate was so swoon worthy. Izzy was a great character in this book and I loved her. From beginning to end I was hooked. I could not stop listening to this book. The narrators were spot on for Nate and Izzy. They brought so much life into the story.

Rebecca Yarros is a 5 star author for me. I love everything she writes and this one did not disappoint. I love a good plane crash, second chance love story! I'm so sad that it's over, I want more of Nate and Izzy!

This Book Pulls All the Heartstrings

I loved this book and am so excited to find a new author, I have nearly 2,000 audio books, so I don't know how I've missed this author. Nat and Izzy's journey to HEA span 10 years. It's 10 years filled with action, adventure, romance and just the right amount of sexual tension.

Oh my heart hunts

This story was beautiful. The narration was absolutely perfect. I don’t usually say this, but I would actually love this as a movie. But only if the same voice actors played the MC’s.

Tough love

This is such a romantic story but this love is demanding! It costs almost everything for Izzy & Nate to create a HEA.

Excellent story line.

I normally do not write reviews after I read or listen to books.
I am not generally impressed or shocked with a lot of writers or books.

Alas, I have found a new favorite book and author.
I’m a military wife.
My husband deploys.
This completely captured our love as well as our future.
Great job!!

You will cry

It is a fantastically beautiful story that does have a happy ending but there’s plenty of heartbreak along the way.
