Montlake Romance In the Likely Event

Je connais la qualité des romances de Rebecca Yarros depuis longtemps et je suis habituée au grand 8 émotionnel que cette dernière fait vivre à ses lecteurs ... J'ai adoré ma lecture !! En effet, même si cette histoire commence sur des chapeaux de roues avec un crash d'avion , étant phobique de cet événement , forcément j'ai un peu vécu difficilement ce passage ...Cet évènement sonne la rencontre de nos 2 héros . L'histoire de Nate et Izzy s'étale sur quelques années et malgré une attirance réciproque , les choses ne s'emboitent jamais vraiment pour que leur relation évolue.... On les retrouve quelques années plus tard dans un environnement hostile au sein de l'évacuation des force américaines de l'Afghanistan... J'ai adoré la pression constante et la montée de la tension au fil des pages où le danger est partout, la plume fluide et imagée de l'autrice permet une immersion totale parfois même trop ... Nate est un soldat d'élite qui maitrise tout ce qui l'entoure. Il a cette impression d'être à la hauteur qu'en exerçant son métier malgré les risques. J'ai adoré ce personnage droit et altruiste près à tout pour protéger la femme de sa vie même s'il faut l'éloigner de lui... Izzy est une jeune femme entêtée , qui sait ce qu'elle veut et se donne les moyens d'y parvenir même si elle est une femme dans un milieu d'hommes. Elle a souvent baissé la tête pour plaire à ses parents mais son attachement à sa soeur et sa volonté d'être heureuse va l'amener à des extrêmes . Leur duo est une évidence pourtant .... Le dénouement est comme on l'attend et j'avoue que l'autrice m'a totalement laissé sans voix avec une révélation que je n'avais absolument pas vu venir ... En bref :Une romance contemporaine géniale !!! J'ai adoré l'histoire de Nate et Izzy qui nous entraine dans des ascenseurs émotionnels tout au long du livre. J'ai frémi, souri, levé les yeux au ciel et même versé quelques larmes .... En gros j'ai adoré ! La plume de l'autrice nous embarque dans cet univers dangereux et captivant et nous laisse ébahi après avoir tourné la dernière page mais avec le sourire aux lèvres.

Había leído varias reseñas de la escritora, este fue el primer libro que he leído de ella. Me encantoooo bastante interesante y recomendable. No es la típica historia.

I’m going to start by saying that I’m the number one fan of Rebecca Yarros! She’s been my favourite author since I read the Flight and Glory series which also made me the biggest fan of military romance! I consider this 4,5 ⭐️ rating strict because this book was absolutely amazing and it would’ve been a favourite read but the ending was too sudden, and I didn’t get the big finale I expected. Izzy and Nate meet in Afghanistan after 3 years when Nate is tasked with protecting Izzy while the country is falling into the hands of the Taliban. This whole story was set up for heartache and tragedy and I expected a sobfest at the end (with a HEA of course) but instead it ended abruptly. Hence the - 0,5 ⭐️ This book easily could’ve been a 100 pages longer. Nevertheless it was still an emotional read, especially when we finally come to the part in the past when we get to know what happened between Nate and Izzy, why they‘re mad at each other. That part was really sad, and then there was this big twist which was so unexpected, I even had to go back some chapters because I didn’t want to believe what happened. I really loved the dual POV and dual timelines. We first meet Izzy and Nate in Afghanistan when they’re shocked to see each other, and in the next chapter we see how they met 10 years ago when they survived a plane crash together. Over the years they meet up more or less once a year but after a few days they have to say goodbye to each other because it’s not their time to be together. Nate must go back to the army and Izzy goes back to her life even though they love each other. But we know from the start that something went really wrong 3 years ago. And that was really sad. I loved Izzy’s and Nate’s chemistry, and that Nate gave her his earbuds cause he knew she was scared of flying 🥹 the way they met, and the fact that Nate would’ve died for Izzy. Literally. This was a beautiful story about two people falling head over heals for each other at the wrong time. They were truly meant to be.

As usual, I've gotten to the end of a Rebecca Yarros book and I've no idea how to talk about it past wanting to shove it in everyone's faces and say READ IT!!!!!! So this has been written several days later as a result when I've been able to make some semblance of sense about it. In The Likely Event is a dual pov, switching timelines story that never once feels like you're being pulled from one story to another. Somehow it seamlessly weaves together and shows us past and present, staying true to each time without also feeling like things are being deliberately hidden. It just flows naturally as the story moves forwards, both in previous meetings between Nate and Izzy, and their present situation. Falling for Izzy and Nate is not hard. Heck, Izzy had me from her rambling on the plane due to her fear of flying (yup, totally agree on it) and Nate...well, who wouldn't fall for Nate. He's a reader, sweet, caring and right from the start willing to do whatever he can to help people around him. And in particular, Izzy. Rebecca has once again brought her personal knowledge and experience of the military to this story, as well as her heartfelt writing. The tension, laugh out loud moments, and of course tears (it IS a Rebecca Yarros book after all!) are all there throughout the book as we discover more about the past Izzy and Nate share, and their fight for the future. Predictably, I did not want to put In The Likely Event down from page one. It's captivating. Easy to get lost in. And so damn real. Neither Nate or Izzy is perfect, but they are so much more for it. Relatable and understandable, the decisions and choices they make, even if you don't agree with them, make sense. They feel like friends. And I'm rambling again. If course I am. So yeah, just go read it for yourself and see. But these guys are absolute keepers! Thanks you Rebecca for another brilliant book to adore and reread time and again.

A heartfelt love story but you have to suspend some disbelief to imagine two people who rarely saw each other sometimes not for years would still have the same amount of deep attraction and devotion to each other as when they first met years before on a plane. Izzy and Nate are likable and it’s easy to root for them but the never ending running in circles trying to carve out any small amount of time to be together only to immediately be separated for large chunks of time goes on for too long making the storyline drag at times and feel too repetitive but their journey’s emotional with a surprising twist at the end, overall a good book.
