This unlikely
getaway driver never expected to help the mayor escape…
After a six-year
absence, Addison Potts is back in Charleston to stir things up. And what better
place to make her villainous return than her estranged cousin’s wedding? Only,
the nuptials hit a snag when the bride doesn’t show, leaving Addison to play getaway
driver for the jilted groom. A groom whose heartbreaking smile and deep,
southern drawl she should not be noticing…
Elijah Montgomery Du
Pont is the future mayor of Charleston. From his military career to city hall,
every detail of his life has been meticulously planned. Until now. His only
respite from life’s sudden upheaval is Addison, his new, improbable best
friend. She makes him happy. Grounds him. And public disapproval be damned,
he’s not willing to give her up. But with an election on the line and public
pressure rising, Addison—and the cruel hand of fate—might not give him a
choice.
My Thoughts
Getaway Girl is one seriously sexy, seductive, steamy,
romantic read.
I loved both Addison Potts and Elijah DuPont. Their
attraction for each other is obvious and immediate but they are such very
different people.
Addison is quite the elusive woman. After her grandmother’s
death, she really is alone in the world. Declaring her feelings for Elijah
would require her to expose too much of herself but something that she cannot
help doing. Her feelings are that strong.
Elijah is more of an open book but the more time he spends
with Addison, he realises that his life to date has been about following a
traditional path. Everything came so easily, he never thought to question it.
Addison and Elijah’s relationship is simply beautiful. They
both grow as people in the most unexpected and wonderful ways. They are
delighted to share the most mundane of tasks with each other, and when they get
physical... oh, yes! Expect a scorching hot time, every time.
I was slightly worried before I began this book because I
tend to avoid books set in the political world. While some of the action does
take place in this setting, the focus is firmly on the characters with the
politics playing a minor supporting role.
Getaway Girl was a delight to read and Elijah Montgomery
DuPont now holds a spot on my Book Boyfriend List.
Tessa
Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school
graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving
cross-country to New York City in under four days.
Her most
valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees,
a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her
husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put
herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace
University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force
as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her
attention.
She now
lives in Long Island, New York with her husband of ten years and
six-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is
incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in
love.
