Runaway (Escape #2) by Casey Cox

 


Amazon Link   - Available in KU  





Ever woken up and realized your life is one big cliché?

Waking up married in Vegas? Been there, done that… Twice.
Base-jumping off Mount Fuji in Japan? That's, like, a chill weekend.
Partying in France with supermodels? Meh, très overrated.

Despite being born into the most powerful family in the highly prestigious cowbell industry (yeah, you read that right)—I’m feeling more than just a little lost. So, partying and living it up has become my default avoidance coping mechanism.

Until I spot him one night on vacation staring out into the dark ocean, looking all sorts of Cali-cute.

When he speaks, he catches my interest.
When he serves me back my own sassiness with an added helping of nerdy smarts, he burrows into my brain.
And when he peers up at me through sun-kissed lashes with those glittery eyes and smiles?
Damn, he captures my heart like no one ever has.

But how do you keep the one you want to be with forever from slipping through your fingers?

RUNAWAY is a woke-up-married, fake relationship (after insta-love) rom-com style MM romance. It features a loveable bad boy getting up to no good (for all the right reasons) who meets a boy with a bucket list.

You can expect plenty of gasps, giggles, and OMG moments including Fermi pickup lines, terrible...y good karaoke, cowbells, mystery midnight walks, a life-changing ATM glitch, one outrageous grandmother who intends to take full advantage of an all-male clothing optional resort, small townspeople that will melt your heart with their kindness, and a happily ever after that will make you feel like you’ve just returned from the best vacation ever.
(Piña coladas and other creatively named cocktails not included.)

RUNAWAY 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 - 3.5 Stars!


Runaway is a nice read by Casey Cox. I don't love it, but I did enjoy it. 

This is a mix of insta love and fake marriage. 

I think my issue is that it took me too long to feel a connection between the men. Jedfire is definitely not for me, but eventually won me over. But damn, he's totally the kind of character I loathe. 

But eventually, his actions won me over. Conrad too. 

The storyline is way out there, but I still enjoyed it. Definitely skip this one if you are a stickler about realism. 

But if you are okay with over the top storylines, you might just like this one. 

Runaway is an okay addition to this series. Overall, I enjoyed this Casey Cox book.
