Vivian Arend returns with book two in the Adrenaline
series! In this installment, there are high
stakes, explosive chemistry, and breath-taking passion
between Alisha and Devon.
Alisha Bailey comes from a wealthy background and although
she resides in Banff, Alberta at the moment to live out her
dreams as a member of an elite search-and-rescue squad, her
family still tries to reach out to her and get her to
return home. They don't approve of her lifestyle choice,
thinking it's more a hobby than a real career choice.
However, Alisha is determined to show how hard work pays
off, even if it means doing it alone.
Devon Leblanc is also a member of this elite team. When
Alisha has a panic attack during one of their more extreme
search-and-rescue missions, Devon is concerned that
Alisha's health and safety is at risk, not to mention the
safety of the team and those they are rescuing as well. Yet
Alisha is keen on keeping it a secret unless she feels that
it poses a real problem. As Devon and Alisha are bound
together with this secret, their chemistry begins to burn
white hot. It's only a matter of time before the chemistry
between them explodes!
Arend delivers an exhilarating read with HIGH PASSION.
Alisha struck me as someone I would love to be friends
with. Though she is constantly hounded by others, she
doesn't allow them to hinder her sights on what she wants.
She is a very strong-willed woman and I found her character
to be very admirable.
Similarly, Devon's character complemented Alisha so well.
He was never pushy or demanding yet I will admit I got a
kick every time his jealously slipped through. I rather
liked the way the chemistry slowly built to a boiling point
in this book. It felt more authentic, more true to the
storyline than the first book.
Arend's writing seems to have settled down and found
its niche for this series. The pacing is wonderful and the
details of the search-and-rescue missions show just how
much research Arend has put into her work. All of that pays
off in the end. HIGH PASSION takes the Adrenaline
series to new heights!
LIFELINE: an elite search–and–rescue squad based
out of Banff, Alberta. Specializing in high–risk
rescue missions, this team goes wherever the job takes them?
Alisha Bailey left a life of privilege for the dangerous
but thrilling world of search and rescue. Denying the lure
of attraction to her teammate is another sacrifice she's
made to prove to everyone?including her family?that she's
more than a pretty face or a business commodity.
Since their training days, Devon Leblanc has used the
competitive fire between them to hide his fascination with
the petite beauty. When a natural disaster forces their
rivalry aside, heated passion finally flares between them.
Sexual pleasure slowly gives way to a new appreciation for
each other's skills?on the field and in the bedroom.
But when unexplained accidents begin happening to the
Lifeline team, their new found unity may be their only hope
for survival?
