Title: Tandem
Author: Jennifer Ryder
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Adrenaline seeker. Commitment-phobe. Gigolo of the skies.
He’s worked tirelessly to make a success out of Sensational Skydives, on occasion providing extra services to deliver the ultimate jump experience. The adrenaline helps him forget the loneliness and the gaping whole left in his heart. When the rush wears off, he’s on the hunt again—a vicious circle of avoidance.
Kalani Hart knows all about avoidance.
Wide-open spaces. Social situations. Uncontrolled environments.
For years, fear has crippled Kalani’s attempts to lead a normal life after a random attack that tore her family apart. Finally, Kalani is on her way to recovery. She knows she needs to face her nightmares, but taking the plunge is easier said than done. When her therapist challenges her to take on skydiving, item number one on her bucket list, Kalani has to decide if she’s truly ready to take charge of her life.
Will one tandem jump with Kyle be the key to Kalani getting her life back, or will they both find themselves stranded in a place where their hearts decide what happens next?
When the adrenaline is this high, anything can happen.
5 Stars
Tandem was
my first time reading anything written by Jennifer Ryder, and it didn’t disappoint.
Kyle and
Kalani’s story is heartbreaking and full of emotion. Full of heat, heart and angst, this story will
have you feeling a vast range of emotions.
This pair
of characters are complex, scarred and broken by the tragic experiences of
their past.
Although
this is a slow burn romance, the chemistry this pair share is intense and
undeniable. The story flicks between the
past and present seamlessly and is told in a dual point of view.
I wouldn’t
recommend reading Tandem in public, because if you are like me Ms Ryder’s
writing will leave you with tears streaming down your face.
The dialogue
this pair share is raw, honest, and intense.
Although this
was my first time reading Jennifer’s work it will not be my last.
