Publisher's summary

One decision will haunt Blackstone soldier Keith for a lifetime....

Keith left behind the feisty love of his life, Lexi Klein, 10 years ago when he chose to become a soldier and leave for Iraq, but after a tragedy struck Lexi’s family and Keith couldn’t come home, she felt abandoned. When Keith finally managed to make it back to Boston, Lexi had completely withdrawn from everyone, including him. She decides to end their relationship and move on.

Lexi has always owned Keith’s heart. He just didn’t know how much....

Keith returns to Boston years later for a wedding and finds out Lexi is dating the leader of the infamous Almas Perdidas Gang. Lexi is in over her head, and Keith will stop at nothing to keep her safe. Having never recovered from her broken heart, Lexi wants no part of his grand savior routine. She made her choice, and she has her own reasons to stick to her guns about it.

Keith fights to regain Lexi’s trust, but old wounds are slow to heal....

After Lexi is beaten for not following gang rules, Keith decides to take her on a trip to convince her once and for all to let him back in. But Lexi is holding on to one last secret, and it will change everything. Happiness comes at a price, and once the front Lexi put up comes crashing down, that price will be paid in blood.

Keith must make a decision. Does his loyalty lie with the military? Or with the woman he loves? Or has too much time and history been lost for them to make one...final...Escape.

Wow! Amazing!💜

This book started off a little different than I expected but then kicked into high gear bringing us the quality story we’ve come to expect from J.L. Drake. Absolutely brilliant. I always seem to cry, cringe, laugh or swoon and sometimes all of the above.
A page turner that will keep you at the edge of your seat just waiting to see what happens next. I absolutely love when characters from previous series make an appearance.
The narration was absolutely wonderful.
This is book 2 in this series, but can be read as a standalone. I can’t wait to dive into book 3.
I highly recommend this book/series.

A good book

I’m not sure why this book got so many bad reviews. Sure the narration wasn’t on par with Andy Arndt or Joe Arden but it was still a good story. Some points that people made like they didn’t understand why she was in with the bikers club, obviously didn’t listen to the complete book. I’m very glad that I decided to listen to the book anyway after reading the reviews.

Escape

I think she was pathetic. She was weak and she was just wanted to blame someone for her weakness. I have no sympathy for her.

I really enjoy this series.

I've really enjoyed this series and didn't think we should get to learn about the rest of the team after the Broken series.
The narrators have been great to listen to and brought the stories alive.

Seriously love J. L. Drake work

Omg love the 1 book in this series and liked this book too, love NaN’s character and he love of liquor hahaha and the bond she has with her grandson and love Mark Lopez character and when him and Nan were together they cracked me up.. Mark is the best character luv him! But omg I was repeating over and over to myself listening to this book saying “Stupid girl” lol that’s how good J.L. Drake writes.. I was so ticked off at the female character in this book, I seriously wanted Keith to walk away from her... enough was enough geese... I know she was on a mission seriously how many times are you going to throw the past in someone’s face especially when she found out why he left so fast! I just didn’t care for Lexi at all! And trust me I’m a sucker for strong women not giving in but holy moly .. I just couldn’t believe it! Lol ok I’m done! Love this writer and most of the characters

Narrator ruined it

Keith was in Broken Trilogy & Honor. I'm talking about audible versions. Now we get his book, Escape, and besides an aweful voice there's suddenly a distinct northern accent! I barely made it through & probably will not listen again. Stick to ebook version.

Good story subpar narration

The female narrator hurt the overall story. Seemed too flat robotic. Otherwise the story was good overall.
