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

I was hooked!

I have to say the “Fourth wing” was the first book I ever read by Rebecca and I absolutely loved her writing style, so as soon as I found this book I knew I had to read it. The way she jumps back and forth between past and present is so effortless and easy to follow, and you can actually see the difference in the characters whenever she does this. The plot was entertaining and the characters actually had depth, which is something too many romance books are lacking nowadays. A really enjoyable read and highly recommend

My Guilty Pleasure!

Although Rebecca Yarros’ books are slightly cheesy, I have to admit I’m a fan. Who doesn’t like a will they won’t they love story to escape into. This is another of Yarros’s books that won’t win any Pulitzer Prizes but they’re certainly entertaining and keep you going back for more!

Wow, just wow. Such a great duo, left me speechless. Really good readers, and they were so good at living in the story, I could hear the passion in their voices. So soothing to listen to

My new favorite author

The great performance might have helped but the great writing and unforseable plot twist is what gets me everytime with this author. I loved the story and the build up and the happy ending. 5/5

Easy & addictive

The narrators on this audio are great I love it when we get two !
Iv never read/listened to a military book before but I really enjoyed this
It’s written in a way to keep you interested and wanting to listen/read more
We have time jumps allowing us to get to know the main couple and how they met leading up to a situation that happened in New York which is always brought up in the present but we have to keep listening to find out what actually happened ….. clever way to do it so we keep wanting more story !

I miss this book already

Every once in a while I’ll find a book that instantly clicks with me, this was that book. I read, and loved, Forth Wing and decided to delve deeper into Rebecca Yarros’ writing. This book is obviously miles away from Forth Wing thematically but the writing and characters are just as intriguing and captivating. Nate and Izzy not prefect but you will root for them to make it through. The time jumping keeps all mini stories fresh and builds over the book. Ultimately this is a good book, only criticism, could have been a good few chapters longer.

Teddy Hamilton, as always is on point with narration.
