Review: Feel the Rush – Kelsie Leverich

The New York Times bestselling author of The Valentine’s Arrangement continues her sizzling series with a new novel of a plan that goes awry—in the arms of a soldier…

Picking the wrong men is a talent Meagan Mitchell has perfected. She’s sweet, confident, beautiful—and single. With her thirtieth birthday sneaking up on her, she needs a new plan. No more Mr. Wrongs or Mr. Bads, it’s time to find Mr. Safe…

Army Captain, Reed Porter, lives for the thrill—he’s an Airborne Jumpmaster with a rush addiction. He’s sexy and playful, and he quickly tempts Meagan with his rich Southern drawl and sinful looks. But slowing down and settling down are not in his agenda, making him exactly the type of man Meagan wants to avoid…

As their undeniable attraction heats up, Meagan has to decide if she’s willing to risk everything on a chance at love with a reckless charmer. Is she brave enough to bet her future—and her heart—on Mr. Thrill? Or will Reed finally learn that the feeling of a safe landing is just as addicting as the rush of the fall?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

This was my first Kelsie Leverich book and I absolutely adored it.  She created a great cast of characters set to a military backdrop that was fun, incredibly sexy and at times an emotional challenge to read.

Meagan Mitchell follows her best friend when she’s stationed at a new base down south.  She’s looking for a change and hopes the change of scenery might be what she needs to find Mr. Right  What she didn’t realize was on her first night in her new home she was going to come face to face with one of the men that broke her heart.

Reed Porter, Captain of an Army Parajumper unit, has always been a bit of a thrill seeker.  If an activity gives him an adrenaline rush, he’s all for it.  So when he meets his new neighbor, there is something about her that makes him feel the way he does when he jumps out of a plane.  But Reed has lived by a strict code since the death of his brother and he’s not willing to bend his rules, even for Meagan and all the things she makes him feel.

I loved the way Meagan and Reed interacted with each other.  They were fun, they wisecracked and they were smoking hot with each other.  Each of them had their own set of issues standing in the way of them finding their happily ever after, but there was something both of them couldn’t deny and it was how much they wanted the other despite their pasts.

I look forward to reading more from Kelsie, including going back and reading THE VALENTINE ARRANGEMENT.  She definitely creates stories that pull you and and leave you feeling very satisfied at the end.
