What good is running AWAY when you only end up lost?
Cassandra Pierce had her whole “perfect” life planned out by her parents. One night of pure weakness and lust has her running away from it all and seeking refuge in Alamosa with her best friend. But it seems life has other plans for her when she finds herself lost in the small town of Keaton.
Jason Bradley is a charming country guy. He lives a simple life that’s nothing like what Cassandra is used to. A single moment in life changed everything he thought he once knew, leaving him with a broken heart and an unplanned future.
What happens in Keaton is nothing Cassandra or her heart could have ever prepared for. The instant connection she shares with Jason is no secret, but what they’re keeping hidden from one another is. Will these two be able to find a way to trust each other or will their secrets tear them apart?
Ugh okay, I don’t think I’m mentally prepared to review this book and its been years since I’ve read it. This book will crush you, you’ll need tissues, your choice of alcohol, if you drink and chocolate to make it through this one.
When Cassandra runs away, she doesn’t mean to end up in the small town of Keaton, she tried to go to the comfort of her best friend Mel, unlucky for her, she doesn’t really know which way to go and neither does her GPS, thus landing her in Keaton after hitting a tree. Thankfully, with it being such a small town Jason is there to help her. Cassie, of course trying to be independent says she doesn’t need any help, but Jase isn’t that person that will just say “Okay.” and walk away.
I loved everything about this book, Cassie and Jase had an almost instant connection, and it only grew the longer she was stuck in Keaton. I especially loved Jase’s mom and dad, who opened their home up to this stranger and gave her a sense of what a real home should feel like. Her best friend Mel is there for her, not always in front of her, but even distance can’t kill a friendship as strong as theirs. Moose, Jase’s best friend, he’s quite the character.
I’ve often said, for my own life, that just because you may not always get to choose your own family, doesn’t mean you can’t choose your friends, and eventually they too become your family.
B.A. Wolfe is a girl with a passion for reading and writing, and lives in the good ol’ state of Colorado with her husband (her biggest cheerleader), and her two crazy min pin fur babies. These days, her life is anything but calm, and there isn’t one thing she’d want to change. B.A. spends all her free time either furiously typing stories on her laptop or happily reading through her endless TBR on her Kindle. Her list of favorites would be long enough to fill a book, but most would likely fall under the romance category. She is a sucker for a good love story that makes her cry, and an amazing book boyfriend who will melt her heart. ‘Away’ is B.A. Wolfe’s debut novel.
