Escaping Me
(Escaping #1)
All she wanted to do was forget. Forget the memory of walking in on her boyfriend in the middle of, well, another girl. Forget how she had her entire life planned out. And, forget about being perfect all the time. Unfortunately, she was Whitney Vandaveer and despite the fact that she moved to the middle of nowhere – she couldn't.
He always knew he would never be more than nothing. No job, no money, no future. Cole Pritchett had accepted the fact that he would always be the screw up and he was okay with it. Until he met her.
Here's the thing they quickly found out – sometimes we all need a little help escaping who we think we are.

My Escaping Me Review ...
This is the first book in the
escaping series. Where we have Whitney the girl who after her parents
divorced, she goes to live with her dad, where he ends up calling all the shots and told
her what to do and who he thought she should date. Whitney always did
what she was told but when she finds her perfect on paper boyfriend but
douchebag in real life boyfriend screwing someone else, she escapes to
the country to her mom and sister. Even though they lived apart she
instantly felt like she belonged and can finally be who she wants to be.
With
the help of her fun loving, spirited sister, she steps out of her box
and starts to enjoy herself especially when it comes to country bad boy
Cole. For Cole, he too is escaping his bad choices and past but he
would never think someone as refined as Whitney would like someone like him . Cole may look like a bad boy but he's perfect for Whitney.
Together they balance each other.
Finding oneself is
always a hard journey but convincing others is always a bit trickier.
For Whitney she has to standup for herself with her dad if she wants to
move forward but that's not always easy as it sounds. Thankfully with
Cole at her back it gets easier. This was a cute book and part of a
sweet series.

My Finding You Review ...
Finding
you is the second book in the escaping series. Here is where we follow
Mallory on her journey to finally find her father but she ends up
finding so much more.
For months Mallory has been going
to Charleston to meet her dad but she gets scared and backs out every
time until a cocky bastard accuses her of something making her want to
prove him wrong. Then all of a sudden she finds herself in the middle of
a living a big lie.
Boone is running from his past and
his guilt but when he confronts a stranger about stalking him he
quickly realizes he's wrong then finds himself tempted for more in a
really long time.
Boone and Mallory are like fire and
water but with Mallory's outgoing personality and vixen way she cracks
open Boone. For Boone he knew that Mallory was always going to be
something more than just sex but he played along hoping for more.
Mallory had walls for a reason and he broke them down but secrets and
lies always have a way of coming out.
Boone has been nothing but honest
so when he finds out Mallory has been living a lie it's hard to trust
what's real and what's not.
I did like this book and
the story. Sadly, I'm just tried of the the really insecure girl with
walls 'everyone leaves me' heroine but that's my personal issue from
reading too many books and having way too many similar story lines, which
at times has left me jaded and it hard to get past that aspect.
Besides the whiny heroine the story was good, Boone was fantastic and this is a cute series.
