Escaping Reality by Lisa Renee Jones
I was instantly captivated within the first few pages of
this book. There was a thrill and a sense of action and mystery. Amy is in a
public bathroom stall after getting an envelope from her handler telling her to
run and ditch everything. She has been found and needs to get to the airport.
Part of me wondered if there was some paranormal plot within due to the
flashbacks she was having. It left me wondering if she was being transported
somewhere. Amy heads to the airport and retrieves her next set of instructions
from a locker and heads to the departure gates. Once there she makes eye
contact with a sexy mysterious man. Well low and behold he sits next to her on
the plane. My interest and intrigue lasted during the flight. Did he just drug
her? Is he a good guy or bad guy? I was still invested but it didn’t last long.
They make it to her new apartment and whatta ya know. Sex. They have sex. Did I
mention at this point we are 50% into the book? Sigh.
This is where you lost me. Liam takes over everything
moves her to his hotel across the street and pretty much buys her everything.
Cause when you’re on the run from (still unknown to the reader…bad guys? Villains?
Bullies? Heck we have no idea what she is running from and we aren’t getting any
answers either)You have to stop for hallway sex right?
The job her “handler” has set up is nonexistent. The
secretary is so transparent we can see she is suspect from the get go and the
drool worthy neighbor? She feels a draw and a pull towards him but that too is confusing.
There are a lot of dominant sex scenes. They are steamy
but toward the end I found myself skim reading. We are also left with a cliff
hanger and I HATE cliffhangers.
So for me it just took too long not getting to a point
and the insta love/sex/connection always bothers me.
Started strong but finished flat
