Publisher's 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.

What the critics say

“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

No dragons, still very good

The only other Rebecca Yarros book I’ve read was the Fourth Wing. This book is very different but there is still a war, two lovers the world wants to pull apart, and a FMC who uses her brain to help people. Just no dragons in this one.
The flashbacks to significant moments in Izzy & Nate’s past were well executed and really added to the story. Izzy is stubborn and puts herself in danger, like any true FMC, to protect the ones she loves. There were some truly heartwarming moments in this book. Despite the fact that the scene in NY three years ago, broke my heart, I loved this story.

Wow just WOW!!

I have always been a very big fan of REBECCA YARROS. Her writing style is always original. The way she pieces together a story makes you feel like you are actually living through it with the characters. I fall in love with all her characters. Thank you R.Y. for another beautiful book.

Amazing!

This is my first Rebecca Yarros book and it was SO good!!! Her writing made me feel like I was a part of the story, and I could feel all the emotions her characters were going through. I could not stop listening. If you are on the fence I highly recommend, you won’t regret it!

Spicy Romantic story

great story - my only real criticism is the way the male narrator pronounced the name Isa like is-a. It made me cringe every time.

The voice was too annoying to continue past chapter 1

Terrible voice. Can’t get past it to hear the story. The right readers is pivotal
