Tailspin

By: Sandra Brown

Narrated by: Victor Slezak

Don't miss the spine-tingling suspense and tantalizing romance in this thriller about a daring pilot caught in a race against time from number one New York Times best-selling author Sandra Brown.

Rye Mallett, a fearless "freight dog" pilot charged with flying cargo to far-flung locations, is often rough-spoken and all business, but soft on regulations when they get in the way of meeting a deadline. But he does have a rock-solid reputation: He will fly in the foulest weather, day or night, and deliver the goods safely to their destination. So when Rye is asked to fly into a completely fogbound northern Georgia town and deliver a mysterious black box to a Dr. Lambert, he doesn't ask questions.

As Rye's plane nears the isolated landing strip, more trouble than inclement weather awaits him. He is greeted first by a sabotage attempt on his plane that causes him to crash land, and then by Dr. Brynn O'Neal, who claims she was sent for the box in Dr. Lambert's stead. Despite Rye's "no-involvement" policy when it comes to other people's problems, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to the intrigue surrounding his cargo...and to the mysterious and alluring Brynn.

Soon Rye and Brynn are in a treacherous 48-hour race to deliver the box before time runs out. With everyone from law enforcement officials to hired thugs hot on their heels, they must learn to trust each other so they can protect their valuable cargo from those who would kill for it.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Victor Slezak does an exemplary job of articulating Rye Mallett's and Dr. Brynn Lambert's emotions in this fast-paced romantic suspense.... The cast of characters comes to life in this narration, adding extra zing to the excitement in this audiobook." (AudioFile)

Disappointed...a little

When I first started listening to this book I thought, have I already "read" this? Certain things seemed so familiar - the down-on-his luck pilot most notably. In researching Sandra Brown's audiobooks (I'm a HUGE fan BTW and pre-ordered this one) I found Low Pressure narrated by the same person. That's the connection. I see that Mr. Slezak has narrated many of Ms. Brown's books and I've read and/or listened to them all, but I find his voice on this book particularly annoying perhaps because he sounds exactly like Dent in Low Pressure and it makes it confusing.

I believe the book would have been more enjoyable had the reader adapted a different accent/tone or the book was read by someone else.

Quick listen

Entertainment but not the depth I usually like in a murder espionage mystery. Good for what it is.

Spoiled!!

Interesting plot spoiled with explicit sex descriptions!!! Too bad writer needed to go in that direction.

Victor Slazak n Sandra Brown are a great team

Slazak has that low, full bodied voice that enhances the sexy scenes so well. And Brown writes those scenes without tooo much detail - her characters respond to each other perfectly.
Loved this book. Ending was a surprise.

Fast-Paced, Intriguing and Sexy

I enjoyed Tailspin very much. The two main characters were a dynamic couple both with enough backstory to make their interactions so believable. The story line was very intriguing and all of the side characters were intense. I listened to it while packing up my house for a move and it sure kept me on task and motivated!

Average story

I'm a fan of this author, but this story was really annoying and boring. I was struggling to end it. Performance was good.

Narrator killed it for me

The narrator made little distinction between characters. He sounded almost monotone. I would not buy another book that he narrates. The story was too bad, but the narrator killed it for me.

Great listen!

Both the story and narration is 5 stars. The emotion between the characters is great. Plot ever changing.

Great spins!

This book was excellent at keeping you riveted and putting spins on the story regularly, resulting in a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience.

I loved this book and the story it told!
