As soon as I’d been granted approval on Netgalley I quickly stated reading this novel and had it finished in a matter of days. So to say I was a bit excited about this latest release by Young, is something short of an understatement. I first became aware of Helene Young’s work in 2012 when I devoured every single piece of work she had out on the market. What’s more, I love the very real emotions (and what heightened emotions they are!) that these characters can bring out in each other and the reader.

What I particularly love about this genre as a whole however is how two completely different main characters are thrown together, usually in the worst imaginable situations, and they not only have to learn to work together, but must rely on each other to survive. There’s just something about an action packed novel, that combines the basic human notions of fear, hope and love together. It was Helene Young’s first novel Wings Of Fear that first introduced me to the genre, and her subsequent novels that got me hooked and determined that I’d be a fan for life. Romantic Suspense is a a genre that has been around for years, but one that is making a strong movement recently especially in Australia thanks to the likes of Bronwyn Parry and Helene Young.
