It might have been the most terrifying ordeal of my life, but at least it got me the heck outta Blessing, Texas, out of the clutches of my homophobic family, and away from a pack of high school bullies that tried to make every day a living nightmare.
Keyword: tried.
Even as a kid, I never let anyone succeed in beating me down. I knew that as soon as I could, I’d be outta that small town and leaving the crappy start I’d had in life behind forever… Or so I thought. Until I came face to face with one of my former bullies at the last place I ever expected to run into him—on vacation at a luxury, all-male resort.
The thing is my life’s going great. I am who I am: free, fierce, and fabulous. I’m an accomplished pianist and truly loving the person I am today. Him? That’s a whole other story. And one that, despite my better judgment, sucks me in. It’s a weird feeling, seeing a former tormenter failing at life. It’s even stranger to start developing feelings for him.
But after all these years of getting as far away from my former life as possible, what are the chances I fall for the one guy who takes me back to it all?
FARAWAY is a zero angst, high school enemies-to-lovers rom-com style MM romance. It features a flamboyant guy living his best life who reunites with a reformed bully trapped by his past.
You can expect plenty of gasps, giggles, and OMG moments including killer kaftans, a comedy act so bad it’s just...bad, rainy rooftop sex, self-forgiveness, and a happily ever after that will make you feel like you’ve just returned from the best vacation ever.
(Please consult with your medical professional before undertaking any travel.)
FARAWAY is part of 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 - 4 Stars!
From the start, I enjoyed this book a lot. It's a bully turned lover romance that had me fully intrigued.
The author excels in illustrating that one can change their past. One can overcome their mistakes. One can turn their life around.
These two are sweet together, as well as extremely connected during sex.
Two things are definitely interesting in this one. Not only is it intriguing to see a bully regret his choices and try to spend his life making amends. But, this story follows Emry's life changes after getting struck by lightening. It's an interesting and life changing event for sure.
I definitely enjoyed this story, although it left my mind drifting a couple of times. But, overall, it's a nice story of healing and second chances.
Faraway is a perfect example that one can change their life around. This Casey Cox tale is definitely a great choice the next time you're in the mood for a bully to lover romance.
