➳You know when you see and read reviews hyping an author you have never read before, and you become curious and add it to your TBR, but then you are like "hmmm, I don't know," and remove said book from your TBR, well that's what happened to me with Tessa Bailey and I regret my past actions of not reading Getaway Girl when I had the chance. But once this unexpected beauty landed in my correspondence and I opened the package, I knew it was destiny telling me to give Tessa a chance, since she is a New Yorker after all and I ended up finding out she lives about twenty-minutes away from me. And I mean, let's talk about this cover. We cannot deny that this cover is beyond beautiful and if you decide to pass out on this book and not read it, then your tastes in romance covers has some serious reconsideration to be done... That being said, there is also no denying that this synopsis is what drew me in instantly. I never thought that Getaway Girl was related to Runaway Girl, but once reading it and reading the synopsis of GR, I knew that they were connected so ya'll know what my next read is...

➳Let me talk about one of my turn-offs when it comes down to romance novels... That is an arrogant asshole who believes he can get any girl he wants, anytime, anywhere. Especially guys who give off that vibe and are just complete jerks in every way. Jason Bistrow is no exception when it comes down to the ideal description of a jerk. But, what makes him different to any other jerks I have read in the past and I have never ended up liking, is that Jason has a past that has made me gooey in the knees and made me crave his touch, his adoration towards protecting those he most cares about, no matter what the issue at hand may be. An unexpected twist and turn makes the appearance of Naomi something that Jason did not see coming hit him right where his life most wanted him not to. No matter though, Naomi becomes an individual in which he finds comfort and a sense of crave towards her mind, soul, and physical attribution.

➳Now, Naomi is a totally different individual in which I, myself, did not see coming once entering this novel. High maintained because her life revolved around money, charity events, a southern belle really, Naomi is about to get married for the purpose of keeping an appearance for the sake of her family. Being groomed to be a constant beauty pageant winner, sustained by family money, to be married away to another individual with family money and soon to be the mayor of the small town where she lives, Naomi soon realizes that this type of life is the life she does not want to be a part of. She wants to properly live a life that has been in the back of her mind to indulge with and make mistakes, regrets, actions in which she can go back to and properly reminisce. After leaving her soon to be husband at the altar, Naomi runs away to find a life that she hopes she can properly enjoy. Her encounter with Jason, and his little sister Birdie is one she did not expect, but becomes the one thing in her mind and life that she soon learns she cannot live without. Especially when the physical attraction that she has towards Jason is one that makes her body crave him more than anything she has ever experienced before;

"There's nothing polite or reserved about the way Jason kisses me. It's earthy. Messy. He's hungry and the femininity is his dinner. He feasts on it with purposeful drives of his tongue, the turning of his head in a dance with mine so our mouths are forced to reposition, mate again, sink into a rhythm, stop and do it all over again..."

➳Sometimes, risking your time as a reader and getting to read a new author with an unexpected story is worth everything, Especially when a book such as Runaway Girl becomes one of your favorites this year. One that you cannot pass over and miss the adventure that is Naomi and Jason. And I mean, there is nothing wrong with drooling over a dirty, ex-military man, with a hurting past that makes him crave the sooth and gentle touch of his partner. Overall, Tessa Bailey has out-done herself in this miraculous and powerful romance novel that will hit your heart in the best kind of way.

Runaway Girl was everything I expected and so much more than that as well. It’s a fun read. It’s also hot as all get out, but what I didn’t expect was how deeply emotional and beautiful it was. I don’t want to say TOO much, because I think going in sort of blind-ish makes the ride all the more fun, but what I will say is that Naomi’s story teaches us that it’s never too late to figure out who you really are. It doesn’t hurt if you get to unexpectedly fall in love while figuring all that out eith ...more

Loved the sweet hero. but that's about it. I skimmed trying to enjoy some of his swoon worthy thoughts about his woman. Said woman was what she believed she is, boring. The sex scenes were Ott a la Alexa Riley style, meaning, they were laughable. Definitely not for me.

As one of my most anticipated reads of the year, I was itching for this book from the moment I knew we’d be getting Naomi’s story, too, and if the number of times I’ve already re-read it is any indication of how much it did not disappoint, then surely my stalkerish tendencies towards any visual inspiration the author has ever shared in relation to this story should do the trick.

Update:
I really enjoyed this book. I already had Getaway Girl, but decided to read this one first. Naomi could have been the bad guy (girl) in G.G., but I really loved her in this one. She's no shrinking violet. She ran away from her groom when it was almost too late. She should have spoken up before, but her explanation is contained in this story. She's from a wealthy family in Charleston SC. Naomi is a beauty contest queen. Many times over. What can this get her? How far can this get her? Try St Augustine Florida.
I've missed reading Tessa Bailey's books. I love her heroes and heroines. Usually very strong personalities. This book is no exception. I love the scene where Naomi meets Jason.
Jason is all gruff and a soldier in the US Army. He's back in his hometown of St Augustine Florida. He's on extended leave to take care of his teenager sister Birdie. Birdie's twin sister Natalie had died suddenly. Their parents had a lack of good parenting skills & poor loving feelings for their surviving daughter. This part pissed me off to no end. The selfish asshats left Naomi with Jason, to grieve alone. Fortunately, the "parents" weren't mentioned very much. Jason has his hands full.
Naomi answers an ad for a job to be Birdie's beauty contest coach. Naomi becomes the big sister/mother figure that Birdie desperately needs. Birdie's true, sweet, spunky self starts to come back thanks to Naomi's encouragement.
Jason and Naomi have an attraction to each other. Jason knows that the Army is calling him back soon. Naomi knows that she has to go back home & face up to her family & friends.
I love Tessa Bailey's writing. Her characters are so well developed. I had a little confusion with Jason's military service. He's in the army, but says he's a diver. I couldn't figure that out or where he was serving was vague to me. Did he travel? Was he stationed in one location? That detail confused me a little. Over all, I loved this book. I'll be reading Getaway Girl soon. I won't be giving away any secrets to say that it's about Naomi's ex-fiance. I'll get their back story & what happens to him after Naomi... ...more

Runaway Girl is the third Tessa Bailey book I've read this year and is thus the 3rd book by her to make my "Best of 2018" list. It is absolute GENIUS on her part to do Addison and Elijah's story first and the Naomi and Jason. I don't know how she managed to make Naomi such a sympathetic character despite the fact that if you've read Getaway Girl you know that she jilted a gem of a man - or maybe it's because we know that jilting was to his (and Addison's) benefit that softens the blow.

“This afternoon, I was getting a pre-wedding massage and doing photoshoots in a rooftop garden,” I say, my words muffled. “Now I’m peeing with a stranger in a mini mart in—where are we?”

_________________________

I’m halfway to getting lost in Naomi’s words when her pinkie finger nudges mine. It’s so faint, I wonder if I imagined it. But I look down to find her hand right there. Waiting. Without giving my head a chance to talk me out of it, I cover her hand with mine. She turns her palm up and we lace our fingers together. Friendly. It’s just friendly.

The Story

Runaway Girl follows Naomi--the runaway bride from the Getaway Girl--as she tries to rediscover herself and learn to be brave. In the process she comes upon an advertisement for a beauty pageant couch from the hero, Jason for his younger sister.

From the Bibliophile

I was really hesitant to start reading Runaway Girl because to be honest, I didn't enjoy the first book Getaway Girl. However, I was blown away by the cute hilarious moments and sweet romance in Runaway Girl. The hero was a rugged military man, alpha and possessive and the heroine was sweet and had heart.

I loved seeing Naomi's journey coming into her own self. I can relate a lot to her--well, not the debutante and beauty pageant side, but doing what people expect and want. All her life she's done things because she was suppose to and just a few minutes before she is suppose to walk down the aisle, she took control of her life and started to live and make decisions for herself. Her little antics throughout the book to try and be brave were cute and endearing and made for some great moments with the hero.

Jason--what can I say? I loved him. He was everything I like in a hero! Although he was very protective and his natural instincts were to keep Naomi safe and make decisions for her, he recognized her need to be brave and do things on her own. And he let her to a limit.

“I’ve been back on US soil for six months and still, the world around me doesn’t make sense. Rules seem arbitrary. I don’t want my sister’s pageant coach drinking beer with other men, so here I am to collect her. There. Done”

The other 'love interest' wasn't as prominent in this as it was in Runaway Girl. Naomi's feelings for her ex-fiancee didn't appear strong like love, more like obligation. She did have a real relationship with her ex-fiancee like she slept and lived with him which really bothered me, but not too much. But being with someone for years even though you don't love them I feel would complicate things more than it did. I'm glad Tessa Bailey didn't make it so complicated though, but the resolution to that conflict did tie up very quickly and neatly which might bother some.

Thank you Tessa Bailey for providing me with a review copy in no way has it influenced the opinions of this review. It was such a nice surprise when I got the email. I'm so happy I got to read this.

Recommends To

If you're looking for a steamy and sweet read I'd highly recommend Runaway Girl! You got an alpha hero who chases after the girl and loves to talk dirty. There are some great scenes where Jason shows his possessive and sweet side to Naomi. And there's a super cute epilogue!

Hot, Hot, Hotter!

A sexy and charming book

ספר סקסי ומקסים שנוגסים אותו ביומיים שלושה. לא יודעת איך לקטלג או לדרג אותו. מה שבטוח - זה אחד הספרים הלוהטים שקראתי.

מצד אחד - קליל, זורם, סקסי. מצד שני - יש בו דגש חזק על רגש ולבטים ונבכים פנימיים. יש בו לא מעט "דירטי טולק" אבל הסופרת עדיין מצליחה איכשהו לשמור על קלאס. קשה להסביר, אבל כל פעם שהיתה סצנה בו Hot, Hot, Hotter!

מצד אחד - קליל, זורם, סקסי. מצד שני - יש בו דגש חזק על רגש ולבטים ונבכים פנימיים. יש בו לא מעט "דירטי טולק" אבל הסופרת עדיין מצליחה איכשהו לשמור על קלאס. קשה להסביר, אבל כל פעם שהיתה סצנה בוטה ומפורטת, והיה נדמה לי שהנה הספר הזה הולך ל"מדף" ולכיוון מסוים - הגיע לאחריה רגש עמוק, מחשבה עם ערך, דיאלוג נוגע - ששמו אותו שוב במסלול אחר.

על מה מסופר?

זהו סיפורה של נעמי היפה, שביום חתונתה נוטשת את ארוסה המכובד והמקסים (ראש העיר העתידי של צ'רלסטון) ובורחת אל עיירה שכוחת אל. שם היא מוצאת את עצמה בפתח ביתו של ג'ייסון בריסטו - חייל משוחרר - ששוכר אותה לעבודה כמדריכת תחרות יופי עבור אחותו המתבגרת - בירדי. המפגש ביניהם מצית בו רעב שהוא לא יכול להתעלם ממנו, אבל מ הוא אמור לעשות עם כל זה כשנעמי מתכננת כל הזמן את חזרתה אל ארוסה שמחכה?

הגיבור הוא לא הטעם שלי (גדול, מקועקע, בעל זקן) אבל מתחת לחזות הזו, ולפה המלוכלך, מסתתרת נפש גדולה ואכפתית ואי אפשר לא לאהוב אותו ואת הטוטאליות שלו. נעמי עצמה גם מתוקה אמיתית והפגיעות שלה היא הקסם שלה.

האהבה ביניהם גדולה. ולוהטת. קחו אתכם איזה קרח צונן למהלך הקריאה.
