Escaping Reality by Lisa Renee Jones Restarting November 2nd 2013

[Jalyn]

Sarah and I will be starting this book on July 26th if anyone would like to join us. This book is currently an instant download on NetGalley :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm finally starting this! Been trying to finish two other books I was reading! ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Liam sounds sexy!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

This bloke is such a tease!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

55% (view spoiler)[ Liam seems to have some 'Dominant' qualities - always telling her what to do and restraining her. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

85% (view spoiler)[ Someone needs to explain to her that you don't have sex and instantly become pregnant. has she never heard of the morning-after pill? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Just finished. Very reminiscent of this authors other books.

[Greta]

Jalyn? did you abandon Sarah...lol

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think she went on holiday ☺

[Jalyn]

Sorry! I didn't have enough time to start it before I left for vacation, but I'm reading it now!

47 % (view spoiler)[I like it so far, but some parts felt a little choppy.

I know that she's hiding for a reason, but her constant inner dialogue about wanting to be with Liam, but knowing she shouldn't because it's too dangerous for them both, is happening a little too often for my liking. (hide spoiler)]

There was a lot of that. She knows she should be staying on the down low, but can't resist Liam. I think Greta commented on my review that it seemed really odd that someone who was supposed to be on the run was suddenly having sex with someone that she didn't know.

[Jalyn]

I thought the same thing. Especially since she thought she remembered his smell from her past when they were on the plane, enough that she grabbed his wrists to look at them.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Have you read this author's other series? the final book in the trilogy has just been uploaded to edelweiss

I haven't read anything else by her. Is that series good?

[Jalyn]

Sarah wrote: "55% [spoilers removed]"

I agree, he can be dominate, but not too dominate to the point where I'm cringing. Lol :) I think this book is pretty good so far, but it's not "wowing" me.

I think the internal war she has going on with herself (about her need to be with Liam vs. how she doesn't want to see him hurt because of her) seems pretty accurate. To finally find someone you can trust (and love? Though I think it's way too early for those feelings to be present) would be very hard to let go of.

I liked the first one but the second wasn't as good, hoping that the last one is better ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I thought this was okay, but it was nowhere near as good as . I gave it 3.5 stars in the end.

This one is actually already on my TBR list, but it's almost $8 on amazon and I won't spend that much money on a ebook. I'll keep an eye out for a hardcopy. Thanks Sarah! :)

[Jalyn]

I finished it. I wish the next one was out now so I could read it. The book ended really abruptly. I'm afraid that I won't remember enough about the story when the next one comes out. It wasn't enough to really stand out to me.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't think we have long to wait, I think the second one is out in October. If it's on netgalley early we might not even have to wait that long.
(view spoiler)[
did the end remind you of Fifty Shades of Grey? Where Anna gets the wrong idea and walks away from Christian? It was like deja vu for me! (hide spoiler)]

Restarting November 2nd 2013

[Maddie]

And I think we're reading 1 chapter a day.

[Maddie]

Chapter 2.

[Elizabeth]

I read the first chapter, intrigued to know what happens :)

[Maddie]

Yeah me too. I need to read the second sometime today.

[Maddie]

Read chapter 2. It's getting good. :D I want Liam for myself. XD

[Elaine]

When I am finished reading rescue me series, I will start reading escaping reality....I will start the book on 11-5-13

[Maddie]

Ok sweet. :D We're only reading a chapter a day but I guess you could read at your own speed.

[Maddie]

Wow I want to keep reading! The cliffhanger at the end of chapter 3 is huge!

[Elizabeth]

Okay I'm on chapter 6 and I want Liam I think, what I really want to know is what the hell is going on? what made her run and why is she hiding?

[Maddie]

I need to read yesterday's chapter and today's chapter, so I think that takes me to chapter 6 or 7. XD Yeah I'm confused as well.

[Maddie]

Chapter 7. I'm just bored now. Chapter 6 and 7 was all about (view spoiler)[sex. (hide spoiler)]

[Elizabeth]

Yeah I know what you mean, I wish I knew what was happening, by now the audience is in the know, but this time I feel like we keep hitting a wall lol

By the way, how do you do the view spoiler? Thanks

I finished the on 11-6

[Elizabeth]

I finished it, i'll discuss it with you when you finish it, enjoy it :)

[Maddie]

Oh wow Elizabeth! Was it good? And to view the spoiler you just click on it.

[Maddie]

So now I'm the only one reading this?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think everyone else has finished already.

[Maddie]

Oh lol. I'm only 32% through the book because I'm sticking to the schedule of 1 chapter a day.

[Elizabeth]

Yeah, it ends on a cliff hanger and I really can't wait to read the 2nd one. Let me know what you think when you finish it :)And thanks

[Maddie]

Alright.

[Maddie]

Chapter 10. I'm really not liking it. It's really boring. I'm interested to see whether Jared's her handler though. XD

[Maddie]

It's so annoying how (view spoiler)[her and Liam are really annoying. They're just too attracted, and it's all about how she wants him but can't have him then decides she'll just have him later. I'm over it! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

So far, I really hate this book. There's no plot, I'm halfway through, and there's still nothing about her handler. It's just (view spoiler)[her and Liam. Please. :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Still not liking it. I think I'm just gonna stop reading it and honestly review it.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

To be honest Maddison this book is supposed to be erotica, and the sex is kind of the point. I can understand why you might not like it, and I'd recommend staying away from the rest of this author's work because it is all quite raunchy erotica.
I think if you were actually loking for erotica you'd lilke this, but if you don't want to read a book about sex, then this book is definitely not for you.

[Maddie]

I didn't know that. XD It looked like a good mystery book.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It would come as a bit of a surprise if you were expecting mystery! I've been caught out by things like that before. I thought that was a mystery, and it turned out to be historical fiction! and weird historical fiction at that.

[Maddie]

Yeah that's why I was like 'uhhhh what?' XD Wow that looks like a horror to me. XD
