Release Blitz, Excerpt & Giveaway:
Getaway By Casey Cox

Escape, Book 1

 

Ever woken up and realized you're in love with your childhood best friend? I've got three big problems.

 

One, I'm in love with my childhood best friend.

Two, he hates any kind of change with a capital H.

Three, he thinks I'm straight.To be honest, up until recently, I thought I was straight, too. But something’s shifting in me. I don’t know what it is exactly, but I can feel it. We tell each other everything, so I want to tell Cassius this.

 

I figure a tropical weekend getaway is the perfect time to do it. I mean, what could possibly happen that would change our lives forever?

GETAWAY is a best friends-to-lovers, gay-for-you contemporary/new adult MM romance.

It features two childhood best friends, newly invented dance moves, dubious dietary claims, and some creatively named cocktails. You can expect more than a few gasps, giggles, and OMG moments on the way to a satisfying happily ever after that will make you feel like you’ve just returned from the best vacation ever.

(Suntan lotion and beach towels sold separately.)

 

GETAWAY is the first book in the super sweet, light and fluffy ESCAPE series. There are no cliffhangers (ew) and no cheating, either (double ew). You can read the books in whatever order your heart desires!

My Rating - 3.5 Stars!

Getaway is the first book in the Escape series by Casey Cox. I definitely enjoyed it, but I also struggled with some of it. 

It's long and very detailed. It took me a while to fully be grabbed by it, as it takes a while for everything to fully click for the men. The first third of the book is very slow going. I understand that it's used to set some of the personalities and the scene for later, but it didn't need to be so detailed and so long. 

Eventually, there's a sexual awakening for Spencer when he realizes he's in love with his best friend. It's definitely slow going for him, but I love when everything finally clicks for him. 

Overall, I enjoy the way things unfold for these two. The best of friends, who are always so touchy feely with each other, becoming lovers, is awesome. And damn, they are hot together. 

The men are complete opposites which makes for some funny moments. Just little things that made me chuckle. And omg, Cass's love of food definitely had me laughing. 

I kind of wish Cass had been aware of his feelings sooner and with more of an intensity. I felt like I missed something. Heck, maybe I did. I also felt something was off with the declaration scene. Having the men hold off on talking definitely felt forced. 

Their tale is one of first times and sexual exploration. It's a tale with plenty of nudity and bravery. 

The vacation resort is a delightful setting for this adventure. I definitely enjoyed all the little resort/vacation details. 

Overall, Getaway is a nice friends to lovers tale. This Casey Cox book is enjoyable and the ending is fabulous. I'm excited to see what else happens in this series. 

The meal had been exquisite. The company and conversation, first-rate. It couldn’t have gone more smoothly even if I had planned it. Which, of course, I had. Down to the very minute. And post-food—once Cassius was fed and happy, but before he fell into a food coma—was the moment I would tell him.

I took a sip of the sparkling water, suddenly wishing the bubbles were of the alcoholic variety. I still had absolutely zero freaking idea how to begin this. A million possible suggestions were whirring about in my brain—

So, Cass, funny thing, I think I might be… Nope. Dead end.

Hey, Cass, did you ever in your wildest dreams expect me to be… Bah-bow. Another dead end.

Come on, Cass, do you believe in love? ’Cause I’ve got something to say about it, and it goes something like this… Whoops, that was the start of a Madonna jam.

Listen up, Cass, I’ve got something to tell you…

Hmm. Seemed like I’d just found a winner.

He squinted his eyes at me. “You look like you’ve got something to say, Spence.”

I nodded, wiping the corners of my mouth with the napkin. I placed it on my lap, my fingers fidgeting nervously with it. “I do, actually.”

This was it. This was the moment I was going to tell him my truth. I took one deep, final breath and opened my mouth to speak—
