Emma and Ryan had an immediate attraction to each other that went beyond rescuer. He admires her fearlessness and quick thinking but she is the assignment and he quickly squashes thought of her naked and in his arms. The two share a heated kiss initiated by Emma before she is whisked away. We know their story is far from over and I was excited to see what developed next.
Now back in California Ryan is debriefed and despite thoughts of Emma, he is waiting for his next assignment. When Emma shows up unexpectedly, he knows something is not quite right and he soon finds himself protecting her once again.
Emma has been making waves regarding the plane crash. When she hears the preliminary investigation is focusing on pilot error, she begins making callings. These calls unknowingly placed her in danger. I cannot stop the niggling feeling that there is a lot more to Emma then we know. Filled with twists and turns Griffin pulled me into this edgy suspense. We know very little, and what we do know makes us begin to question everything. Who is in on it? What does Emma know?
The romance at this point is strictly physical as Ryan tried not to cross a professional line but Emma is having none of that. The chemistry felt genuine and both characters are strong, confident, and intelligent which causes some bickering and differences of opinion. Ryan thinks like a SEAL and this take-charge mentality clashes with Emma’s. I am looking forward to seeing them connect more and develop a real relationship.
At the Edge was a fast-paced novella and I had a great time with it, but would have appreciated the depth a full-length novel would bring even if the story spanned several books. The cliffhanger had me immediately diving into Edge of Surrender.
