Review: High Passion – Vivian Arend

LIFELINE: an elite search-and-rescue squad based out of Banff, Alberta. Specializing in high-risk rescue missions, this team goes wherever the job takes them…

Alisha Bailey left a life of privilege for the dangerous but thrilling world of search and rescue. Denying the lure of attraction to her teammate is another sacrifice she’s made to prove to everyone—including her family— that she’s more than a pretty face or a business commodity.

Since their training days, Devon Leblanc has used the competitive fire between them to hide his fascination with the petite beauty. When a natural disaster forces their rivalry aside, heated passion finally flares between them. Sexual pleasure slowly gives way to a new appreciation for each other’s skills—on the field and in the bedroom.

But when unexplained accidents begin happening to the Lifeline team, their newfound unity may be their only hope for survival…

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Oh my goodness! Vivian totally blew me away with this book! I was completely glued to the story. The book was very well-written, fast-paced, and action-packed and a whole bunch of other hyphenated words! I can’t tell you how many times I was on the edge of my seat just dying to know what happens next!

I love how Alisha and Devon are kindred spirits and the chemistry between them is off the charts. I love that Vivian creates strong female characters with courage and a no-nonsense attitude that I admire. There was so much going on in this book; corruption, sabotage, exciting rescues, sexy search and rescue workers and so, so much more! Even though I didn’t read the first book in the series, I wasn’t lost at all so this can easily be read as a standalone.

I’ve been a Vivian Arend fan for a while now and as I read this book, it amazed me to see how her writing style has developed over the years. She is a very talented writer and if you haven’t checked her out, you should!
