Publisher's Summary

Everything inside of him is screaming that he needs to run, he needs to go, he needs to escape.

Lane Warner is used to being overshadowed and overlooked.

After all, he's the youngest brother and the most laid back one in the family. He's the one known for going with the flow and not making waves, even when things seem to be at their worst.

Very few things in life have had the ability to rile Lane up and get under his skin. At the top of that list is his childhood friend Brynn Fox...no...Brynn Warner. The fact that they share a last name was the one thing that has the power to light him up and spin him out of control like no other. There was no calm, cool, and collected when it comes to all the reasons why Brynn had to become part of his family. It's slowly killing him to keep wanting what he can't have, so Lane sees only one way to stop himself from doing something they'll both regret...he has to leave.

Everything inside of her is calling out to find him, to follow, to bring him home.

Brynn Warner is used to being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

After all, she's the daughter of an unrepentant gold digger who never once blinked at being the cause of her daughter's pain and suffering.

Very few things in her life have ever brought happiness and a sense of security. At the very top of that list is Lane Warner. She has unwaveringly loved the youngest Warner since the first minute she laid eyes on him. He was everything Brynn ever wanted and everything she knew she could never have.

Sometimes the right choice is the one that hurts the most, and Brynn's had to make a few that felt like they might be the end of her. When Lane takes off, one thing is clear: The only choice Brynn has is to go after him.

She's going to bring her wayward cowboy home.... whatever it takes.

Escape is a stand-alone novel, the third book in the Getaway series, which features the hardheaded and brokenhearted Warner brothers and the women who dare to love them. These boys are very good at putting the wild in wilderness.

DISAPPOINTING

Who knows why some books are loved by some listeners yet scorned by others, some of us connect with the storyline while others disconnect and the narration is either music to our ears or nails over a chalkboard. Well sadly this book, for me, was the latter option in each case. I enjoyed the previous two books in this Getaway series but not so much this one.. probably because I felt there was no real build-up to the romance as Lane the hero and Brynn the heroine already loved each other.. they just hadn’t declared their feelings.. which they rectified early into the story.

Brynn and Lane were childhood friends.. Brynn had a terrible childhood and Lane/school manwhore tried to do the right thing for her but for the wrong reasons. She was hurt by him, he was hurt by her rejection. Fast forward years.. years living under the same roof.. years fuelling undeclared attraction.. years where partners would come and go. But, when Brynn’s latest boyfriend went down on one knee to propose, it was too much for Lane to take and, before he heard the expected “yes”, he walked away.. from Brynn and from the family’s beloved Ranch. And it was left up to Brynn to bring him back.. but first they had to forgive each other, confess to their feelings and agree to start over.. then the book, their emotional journey and their road trip from Hell could begin.. because they rescue an abused damaged teen, get into danger and uncover evil.

Worth a credit? This dual POV story was (shrug) ok.. but somewhere along the way I failed to connect, lost interest and ended up speeding it up to get to the end. Was it the narration, the early declared feelings, the characters, the meh passion, the plot or just me?.. well who knows.. but whatever the reason, my answer to the question is unfortunately and sadly NO. However, you may really like or even love it.
