Next Book Review: RELEASE DAY: Wild Highway by Devney Perry

WILD HIGHWAY BY DEVNEY PERRY

(Runaway #2)

Release Date: June 23rd

Gemma Lane built an empire. Not a small feat, considering her home as a teenager was a makeshift tent in a California junkyard. She’s dedicated her life to turning pennies into millions. She has power, fortune and prestige.

And she’s leaving it all behind.

Gemma is headed across the country in her best friend’s Cadillac when a detour in Montana reunites her with old acquaintances and a man who hasn’t changed. Easton Greer challenges her every word and tests her every limit because he doesn’t believe she’s really abandoned her riches. She ignores his snide remarks and muttered censure—until the day she’s ready to return to the wild highway, and Easton taunts her to stay.

She’ll prove to him she’s not just running back to her wealthy life, that she’s more than her money. She’ll unlock her guarded heart and hope that this time around, he’ll treasure the key.

"I used to be fun. I used to be daring and reckless."

Devney Perry wrote one of the most amazing heroines yet! I related to her so much... ok, so I'm not some billionaire, business woman turned gypsy in a hot, classic Cadillac... but I highlighted so many quotes that I bet there's only a few dozen words left not highlighted!

"I wanted to strangle him and kiss him and kick him and lick him all in the same moment."

I really can't even begin to tell you how often I thought that about my husband. I adore that man so much but he makes me so crazy... but the love is stronger than the crazy. Thankfully for him and thankfully for Easton.

"Would she ever see what was in front of her. Everything she wanted, everything she needed, was right here.
A home. A family.
Me."

Easton is a man with few words but his heart is a turbulent storm and it needs Gemma to ride the waves. I always love Perry's couples. There are intense and strong feelings. If you're a reader that has loved before, the words Mrs. Perry writes will remind you of those sharp and intense feelings that don't let go.

Wild Highway was just amazing. I'm hoping more than anything that we get every single one of those junkyard tenants in a story... I want more than just a quick check in from another book. I want all their life stories. I'm hoping they all find a happily ever after. Quickly, I'll touch on the perfect way Devney Perry tells a story. It never fails that within a few pages Perry has me wrapped around her keyboard. The writing is smooth and just so fluid that I forget I'm reading. Wild Highway has a bit of everything for any romance reader. Mostly, we get a sweet, second chance romance with some good old country boy tossed in and sprinkled with some light angst and drama. There's a heavy dose of friendship and loyalty and you won't be able to miss those hot and steamy moments and some light, teasing glimpses from the up-and-coming book, Quarter Miles.

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

EXCERPT

I opened the door, a smile still on my face, and collided, headfirst, with a wall of muscle.
“Oh, sorry.” I looked up and my heart stopped.
The smell of leather and aftershave filled my nose. I looked up to see a pair of dark brown eyes hooded by long, onyx lashes. I took in the straight nose, the sharp jaw and strong chin. My gaze dropped to the full lips I’d tasted once, on a night eleven years ago.
I’d never seen a face as symmetrical and so beautifully masculine as Easton Greer’s.
Even when he scowled, like he was now, it was a wonder.
He’d gotten even more handsome. How was that possible? He’d transformed from a young man to just a man, man. Rugged and rough and sexy.
“Gemma.” My name came out as a growl in his deep voice and I tore my gaze away from his mouth, taking a step back.
“Hi,” I breathed, the air heavy and thick.
He took a step away, then another, his glare unwavering.
Easton cast his scowl over his shoulder and spotted the Cadillac. “That yours?”
“Yes.”
“You’re staying here.” Not a question. An accusation. If he had it his way, I’d be uninvited.
I lifted my chin. “Yes, I came to see Katherine.”
His jaw ticked. “I thought we’d gotten rid of you years ago.”
Ouch. I guess he was still pissed about that whole sex in his room and waking up to find me gone.
But, good or bad, he hadn’t forgotten me.
