A typical Brown book with an okay plot sprinkled with cheesy cliches, okay-ish characters, and somewhat unnecessary but totally steamy romance. I like the stories Sandra Brown creates, but the other elements kind of serve as a turn-off and often seem repetitive which kills most fo the fun. If you're reading her book for the first time (any of her novels) then you'll love them, just like I did, but if you continue on with other books they all will start feeling awfully predictable and repetitious.

Still, it made for a good quick read (I skimmed over a lot of romance and cheesy bits) which was nothing if not entertaining. I bummed down one star because I didn't feel a connection to the main characters, which generally doesn't happen in her books.

If you are new to the author, then do give any one of her other books a read. This one is not her best work, so read it only if you have already read one of her books and really like it (though it might feel repetitive, at least you won't be judging all her books on this one alone.)

This was great! I feel like I have been a fan of Sandra Brown forever. Maybe not forever but a very long time. I haven't read all of her books yet but I have been able to keep up with her new releases each year. It is probably no surprise that I went into this book with rather high expectations. I am happy to report that this met every one of those expectations. Once I started reading this story, I didn't want to put it down and ended up having a fantastic time with it.

This book opens with Rye, a pilot, agreeing to fly a box to a small airport near Atlanta even though the area is covered with blinding fog. Rye will fly in any kind of weather so he isn't even concerned about landing until something unexpected happens. Brynn was given the task of retrieving the box and getting it back to Atlanta as soon as possible. Soon Brynn and Rye are both pulled into a series of events that seems to become more dangerous at every turn.

This book kept me guessing. Just when I thought I had things figured out something would surprise me. I thought that the suspense element was very well done and the fact that the characters were on a deadline kept things moving at a pretty quick pace. One thing that I really liked about the story was how realistic everything was. I honestly could see a situation similar to this happening and maybe it already has. I found this to be a pretty thought provoking read.

I liked Rye and Brynn. There is a bit of romance to the story but I really felt like it was a smaller part of the story although it was very well done. Rye was a character with a big personality and I knew that he had to have a story. He really was a stand up guy who refused to cross certain lines and looked out for others. Brynn grew on me throughout the book. At first I wasn't sure about her but as pieces of her past came out along with her intentions I grew to love her. I loved that these two were able to work so well with each other to meet their goals.

I would recommend this book to others. I thought that this book was very well written with a fairly complex plot. There was a whole lot of excitement, characters that had me cheering for them, and a few villains that were kind of fun to hate. I can't wait to read more of Sandra Brown's work in the future.

I received a copy of this book from Grand Central Publishing directly and via NetGalley.

Another great book by Sandra Brown, the queen of romantic suspense.

I have already reviewed it on Mystery Sequels (https://mysterysequels.com/book-review-tailspin-sandra-brown.html) at length, so I do not want to duplicate reviews on both sites. Suffice to say, it was a great read, and now I'm eagerly waiting for a new book in 2019.

This was a bit out of my comfort zone -- I generally don't read romance novels. But I'd never read anything by Sandra Brown, so when I was offered an ARC of the book, I decided to take a chance. And I'm very glad I did -- Tailspin is certainly a thrill of a read.

I absolutely fell in love with the character of Rye Mallett, and I was really impressed with Sandra Brown's ability to create wonderfully believable, fully developed characters in just a few lines of text. Even the very minor characters seemed perfectly plausible and interesting. I have to say, there was a little more steam in the book than I'm used to -- it's been a long, long time since I read any romance novels. They've come a long way since the 1960s. I'm not sure I can say this one has made a romance reader of me, but if anyone could do it, it would definitely be Sandra Brown! Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the chance to read it and have my say. (I'll be posting reviews on my blog -- A Little Reading -- and at LibraryThing, Good Reads, and probably Amazon.)
