Tailspin by Sandra Brown

I'm going to be honest here. I read pretty much everything that Sandra Brown writes and, while I absolutely love most of her books, this book did take me a few minutes to get into. It is slower paced at the beginning, but once you get past a certain point, it picks up and the momentum stays strong until the end.

Tailspin starts with fog covering the majority of the state of Georgia and a medical emergency that can't wait. Rye Mallett, a fearless flyer, takes the job to take freight during the thick fog. Dr. Brynn O'Neal is waiting to pick it up.

Okay, so that is literally all you get for the first half of the book. There is a lot of fog and the doctor is there to pick up the cargo. Yes, there are a few things that happen that help the reader to know something bad is going on, but it's so subtle that the first half of the book is very boring as a result. It isn't until Brynn reveals the true nature of the package and what she was actually going to do with it that things start to get interesting.

So, cancer sucks, and that's basically what this story is about. A very wealthy man, a Senator, pays to have an experimental drug brought to him so he can get better while a little girl who has gone through all of the necessary paperwork to get the drug the legal way and is in worse shape than said rich man, has to wait for it with time she may or may not have. Brynn, the little girl's doctor, risks her career to do what she can to deliver the drug to the little girl and not the wealthy Senator.

That is literally the whole story right there without giving away the ending. As far as Sandra Brown's stories go, this was definitely not her best one, even with the twist at the end. Hopefully, there are better ones to come in the future. In the meantime, I suggest her novel Hello, Darkness, or the one she published last year, Seeing Red.
