Publisher Description
From a New York Times bestselling author, a daring pilot races against time to deliver an important package–and keep it from falling into the wrong hands.
Rye Mallett is a fearless pilot with a reputation and a deadline to uphold. When he's asked to deliver a mysterious black box to Dr. Lambert, he doesn't ask questions.
After a sabotage attempt on his plane, he's greeted by the mysterious Dr. Brynn O'Neal. Rye finds himself irresistibly drawn by the intrigue surrounding his cargo...and the alluring Brynn.
Soon, Rye and Brynn are in a treacherous forty-eight-hour race to deliver the box. With everyone from law enforcement to hired guns hot on their heels, they must learn to trust each other to protect their valuable cargo–and their lives–from those who would kill for it.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Sandra Brown sets up an old-fashioned romantic thriller, then tweaks it with an unexpected hit of between-the-lines social commentary. When a macho but principled freight pilot tangles with a headstrong oncologist over a mysterious pharmaceutical shipment, the pair suddenly find themselves on the run with hired guns on their tail. There's a throwback Bogart-and-Hepburn vibe to this flinty, action-prone couple, but Tailspin’s underlying plot about orphan diseases—illnesses so rare that corporations can't make money off them—adds an outspoken modern edge to the story.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Early in this suspenseful romantic thriller from bestseller Brown (Seeing Red), "freight dog" pilot Rye Mallett agrees to fly a small plane in foggy weather into a remote area of northern Georgia to deliver a black box to Nathaniel Lambert, a doctor who will be driving up from Atlanta to meet him. As Rye approaches the airport, a laser beam flashes through the plane's windshield and temporarily blinds him. Luckily, he's not seriously injured when he crash lands on the ground. Rye regains his sight, climbs out of the wrecked plane, and spots a figure in the fog. Thinking it's the saboteur who blinded him, he charges at the person, who turns out to be an attractive female doctor, Brynn O'Neal. After they exchange a few blows, Brynn says Lambert sent her in his place. Despite their mutual suspicion, Rye and Brynn join forces to guard the box, the contents of which some people are willing to kill for. The attraction between them grows along with their peril. Brown's many fans will be pleased.)
Customer Reviews
Sandra Brown Tail Spend
Pilot takes a package to a destination in the middle of a really bad storm how every crashes due to someone using a laser..the plot is to get this package to a doctor immediately as possible. It is a thick book and story gets very tedious. I actually got so tired of this story I through the book in the trash way before the end of the story
