Dangerous Descent by Evie Jacobs

 When an undercover agent and his sexy co-pilot find themselves on a plane willed with mobsters, there’s no room for mistakes.

 About the Book: Pilot Elise Hughes ran from her Florida Keys home to Denver after her father’s fatal plane crash revealed his dark secrets and illegal dealings. Struggling to reconcile the man she believed him to be with the man he actually was has tainted her memories and strained her relationship with her brothers. Now just when she’s settled into the drama-free, comfortable routine of her new life, an unfamiliar airline captain joins her route, stirring unwanted feelings of attraction.

Former combat-pilot-turned FBI agent Eric Erickson secretly burns for retribution against the mobster whom he blames for his father’s death. He poses as a pilot to discover why the mobster and his son are making regular flights from New Jersey to Denver. Not only does the undercover assignment put Eric within striking distance of the gangsters, but Elise, his beautiful copilot, who becomes a distraction he can’t afford.

 Our Review: This is more than your basic romantic suspense with two deserving people fighting the bad guys. It’s a story of a woman trying to prove herself after what’s left of her family turns its back on her. She gets up every day, intending to prove her worth to the world and herself—as well as her dead father, who may or may not have been a crime boss—and brothers who may or may not have aided and abetted him. This undercover agent only gums up the works as far as she’s concerned. When he returns her feelings, things only get more dangerous—for both of them.

 On a scale of 1-5, Dangerous Descent merits a 6.
