SYNOPSIS:
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?
Christina says...
“The term ‘away’ comes in many forms and phrases. Get way, stay away, far away, go away, went away, and move away, but the term that best fits my situation… Run away. “
Cassandra Pierce is a college senior with a secret so big it could shatter her life. Or so she thinks. Running away was the only thing she thought she could do. Escaping the life her parents so carefully planned for her. Well one could say Controlled for her.
“I. Was. Screwed. There was no other way to put it. Life kept throwing obstacle after obstacle in my path to test me, and I was failing each one. My spirits were low. My positivity had turned to negativity, and my thoughts has become jaded. I didn’t fail. Cassandra Elizabeth Pierce never, EVER failed anything. It wasn’t an option, but at this moment, I felt as though I didn’t have options. It was failure, nothing else.”
Following her GPS to visit her best friend leads her to an adventure that she never saw coming. After wrecking her car she meets Jason the self-proclaimed town Knight in shining armor she realizes that her GPS sent her way off course. This is where I already started falling in love with Jason and his charming ways. This man, I am not even sure words can describe what a perfect guy Jason is. From his words to his actions he is everything a girl would want in a guy.
“People become too reliant on having the world at their fingertips. Enjoying the moment and not knowing what’s going to come next, that’s the real deal, Cassie”
“If you wait for the right time for anything, it will always be too late”
“Okay. There’s that look. Sweetheart, every guy wants it, but knowing when it’s right is what makes the moment of making love so special. It has to be something that you give, not something that I take.”
The Love between these two is just beautiful. It is raw and real and not overran with expectations. It is welcomed and cherished and gives hope. When Jason told her he knew her secret, I was so happy with his reaction to it..
“I saw it in your eyes when they wanted to take you to the hospital and then when I saw you again lying in your bed in the ER. I knew you had more going on and you were scared. I knew the look all too well because I had it once myself. I wanted to help you; I felt this instant connection to you. I can’t explain it, and it sounds cliché but.” He paused and let out a deep sigh before continuing, “ But maybe you got lost for a reason.”
But Jason has his own secrets. And lord help me I wanted to scream and cry and throw my kindle when they came to light. OMG My chest it still hurts! I just Gah I didn’t want to believe it when they said it. I just wanted to yell NO NO NO!!! THIS IS NOT FAIR!!! TAKE IT BACK!! TAKE IT BACK!!! Again as I write this I have tears streaming down my face. This book has me an emotional wreck. I have the biggest book hangover. I LOVED this book, I HATED this book, I wanted to THROW MY IPAD across the room.
“Because in the end, everything will be okay. It has to be.”
5 stars for this book! Please go buy this book asap you will not be sorry!! It will bury itself in your soul and stay with you forever! LOVE!! LOVE!! LOVE!! LOVE!! LOVE!!
EXCERPT:
Not a word was said as we headed in a direction we had yet to go in this town. I kept my eyes in front of me and Jason did the same. It was awkward and it was killing me, but I was hurt. He lied to me. He knew what was going on the whole time and made me believe I was hiding it from him. I wiped the tears that were slipping out in a continuous flow now as I thought of how he had to feel about me now, pregnant, lost, and apparently not as good of a liar as I once believed.
“You probably think I’m a terrible person and I’m sorry I lied to you, but I was afraid. I was terrified of what you would think of me once you found out. I was scared of losing you and your friendship that I’ve grown to enjoy too much,” I said quietly as I closed my eyes, wondering if he even heard me.
“Look, I'm not going anywhere, you have to believe me. I want to help you; you don’t have to go through this alone. I know you have your friend, but you have me too.”
I looked over at him, his eyes still shying away from mine. “You should have told me you knew Jason. You shouldn’t have let me continue to hide everything if you knew.”
“It wasn’t my place to say, Cassie. You needed to tell me, but then tonight, seeing Jeff and his damn hands, I couldn’t take it anymore,” he said, his hands slamming down on his steering wheel. “I knew you would want answers so I just had to come clean. Listen, I’m not proud of what I did, but I’ll be damned if I let someone put their hands on you.”
“Where are you taking us?” I asked lost, hurt, and scared. I didn’t want to hear about his feelings, how he didn’t want someone else to touch me, yet he wouldn’t. I just wanted to run, go back to his house, and cry into my pillow.
“You’ll see,” he said quietly.
Before I knew it, we had arrived at what looked like a farm. I could only guess it was theirs. “Your farm?” I asked as he parked in front of a huge wheat field.
“Yeah,” he said, finally looking at me. “It’s the only place far enough from the town that you actually feel far away from the world, I like it here.” He grabbed a blanket from the truck, the same blue quilt from his room as he stepped out. I did the same and followed him to the back, watching as he quickly spread the blanket across the bed of the truck before hopping down.
“Give me your hand,” he said, reaching his out for mine. “Let’s take a walk and talk first.” I placed my shaking hand into his. We started walking into the field, the wheat stalks tickling the bare skin in between the boots and my dress.
I followed him, our hands intertwined, as we got further into the field. It didn’t take long for the nerves to take over my whole body. I stopped and let go of his hand. I couldn’t take the silence anymore. “Jason, my heart is racing. I am so nervous right now. I just… I need to tell you what happened, I need you to know the whole story,” I told him.
“I want to know what happened, Cassie, but only if you’re okay with telling me,” he said, his body facing mine.
I wasn’t okay with confessing it, but he had to know. I just feared for what was to come after he heard it. I knew he wouldn’t be so inclined to help me anymore. He would think horrible things about me; I knew this, because I thought them myself.
