RUNAWAY ROAD (Runaway #1) by DEVNEY PERRY

‘My divorce had been brutal and heartbreaking. It had been the nuclear bomb to my life I’d needed. It was forcing a fresh start. Besides, I was good at starting over. I’d done it countless times in my twenty-nine years.’

Runaway Road by Devney Perry was a beautiful, sweet and well-written story about letting go and finding yourself. Realising what’s important and learning from the past. Embracing love. Devney Perry is one of those wonderful Authors where we pretty much know what we’re going to get when we pick up one of her books; a really wonderful and enjoyable read. This is the first book in a new series and it began ever so sweetly in this light-hearted romantic swoony read. We really enjoyed Londyn and Brooks’ story of second chances which was quite the quick and lovely read.

‘Loyalty wasn’t a common theme in my life. I hadn’t had it from my parents or the strangers who’d drifted in and out over the years…’

Londyn is used to running since her childhood and once again finds herself in a situation of needing to escape. She packs up everything she owns and drives off with a specific destination in mind. On the way, circumstances see her ending up in a motel in the small town of Summers. She would’ve never guessed that running from heartbreak could lead straight into the arms of love and happiness. Loyalty, protection and love can be found in the most surprising of places and under the strangest of situations, and once found, needs grabbing by the scruff of the neck. Finding Brooks was a surprise; a wonderfully loving, funny and sweet man. Their attraction instantaneous, their love a slow build beautiful romance. Devney Perry really does excel at writing gorgeous small-town romances, with endearing characters and just the perfect amount of heat and passion. Adorable and swoon-worthy, Runaway Road is perfect for all our fellow hopeless romantics out there!

‘My hand pressed against my heart. She was stealing it, little by little.’
