If you are looking for a great, emotion packed read To The Limit by Jo Leigh is the perfect book for you. This story has a lot of heat, witty banter and substance.
Sam Brody is grounded. As a fighter pilot he could never imagine doing anything else, but flying the jets that would scare the average person. Due to a vision problem he is being relocated to Holloman Air force base. Teaching the next crop of fighter pilots is a noble job, just not one he ever thought he would have. To make matters more complicated, his best friend's wife lives in that very town. He's always had an attraction to Emma that couldn't be ignored, but he would never have acted on it. After his best friend died in the line of duty, Emma asked for distance to get her life together and he gave it to her. Reasoning that it's the right thing to do, Sam looks Emma up and quickly finds that the attraction is not only as strong as it was, it's stronger.
Emma Lockwood is finally recovering from the death of her husband. She loved him, but sometimes love isn't enough. No one ever knew that she had planned on serving him with divorce papers when he was back from his mission, including him. He never made it back from that mission, so why let anyone know that she couldn't handle his high risk, adrenaline craving life. She vowed that she would never fall for the type, again. Now, Sam has popped back into her life and she realizes that you can't always dictate the type you fall in love with. Sure Sam seems to be less reckless than her husband was, but he's still a fighter pilot at heart. Now, she has to decide if it's worth the risk of her heart, again. After all, Sam is grounded and unable to fly.
The way this couple dealt with and navigated through such weighty matters as the loss of a loved one, dating one another with so much history and old fears gave this book so much depth. The sexy fighter pilot working his magic made this book so hot!
