I've never read any military romances before so I didn't know what to expect going into this but I was pleasantly surprised.

In The Likely Event follows Nate and Izzy who first meet as passengers on a flight and become linked when they survive an intense plane crash into the Missouri River. From that day forward, they feel a pull towards each other. But Nate is whisked off to basic training and Izzy can't remember his name. However, fate steps in once again and they soon run into other. But with busy lives, different dreams and a misunderstanding years later, their bond is severed. Three years later, they find each other face to face in Afghanistan and Nate refuses to put her safety in anyone's hands once he is assigned to his protection.

While their timing is always off, I loved to see their relationship grow throughout the years and even hurt at times. The chapters rotate between characters and past/present but don't let that put you off. And I loved the angsty boyfriend vibes that Nate gave off. However, one thing that I did annoy me was that it did repetitive at times and how comfortable Izzy seemed at times being in a war zone.

But that twist at the end? I didn't see that coming.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for a honest review.
