High Risk by Vivian Arend

4.0

This was a really great introduction to the Adrenaline Search & Rescue series by Vivian Arend. Becki is a trained Search and Rescue climber but is still recovering, mentally, from a climb with her partner that resulted in a fatal accident. She doesn’t fully remember what happened on that climb and sometimes still experiences nightmares but she is ready to get back to doing what she loves. When she joins a well-known climbing institute to work as a trainer Becki is once again face to face with Marcus, the man she had a very hot affair with years earlier when she originally attended the school. What I really love about Ms. Arend’s heroines is they are some pretty kick ass individuals. Yes, Becki has some issues that she’s working through but that doesn’t stop her from being a strong individual working a job that only takes the elite. Marcus has scars of his own he’s working through. After losing his arm he can no longer fully participate in the rescues that he loved to be a part of, but working with the institute and connecting again with Becki spark something for him. I loved the chemistry between these two, the drive and the fire that they applied to their jobs and to the bedroom. Great introduction to a fun, smexy new series.
