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?
Review:
Well, I really don't know what to say right now...my mind is in a jumbled state. First of all, I have to admit that I absolutely despise cliff hangers if I don't have the next installment at my fingertips. 'Away' somewhat ends on a cliffhanger, but I just don't know what to feel right now!! Without giving anything away, I was really drawn in to the love story between Jason and Cassandra. They came together in an unorthodox way, but their love was true and pure throughout the entire book. Jason's sweet and caring personality was almost too good to be true for Cassandra. Could she put her past behind her, learn to live in the present and open herself to a relationship with Jason? Is Jason ready to commit himself to a relationship or will his current circumstances hold him back?
I enjoyed this read a great deal, but the very end of the story I still just can't get over. I read the pages, whipping through them on my kindle like they were on fire, actually yelling out loud "No! This can't be happening! Why is the book ending this way?!?" Okay B.A. Wolfe, you have me hooked...I want to know how this story will play out! Bring on the next installment!! - Kelly

Excerpt:
It was hard to sleep; I was
tossing and turning more than ever before. The butterflies in my stomach were
in full force as I recollected about each kiss Jason gave me; on my lips and on
my bare skin. My thoughts were interrupted as I heard the beeping on my phone.
I saw the light illuminating my room as I reached over to grab it; it was a
text from Jason. I was suddenly extremely grateful I let him plug his number
into my phone after we left the garage earlier today.
Are you asleep yet?
How could I be sleeping? His
lips just rocked my world; my heart was racing too much to be sleeping.
Not a chance.
Me either.
I put my phone down and
got out of bed. I didn't know what else to do so I let my body decide. It would
have argued with my brain either way. I let my infectious craving for his lips
guide me downstairs to his room as I quietly crept to his door.
I took a deep breath and
tapped on his door. He swung it open immediately as if he knew I was on the
other side. The room was dimly lit, but I could see just enough. He was
standing there in nothing but boxers; I couldn't help but look him up and down
from head to toe. His mouth was open and his breathing was heavy as his chest
rose and fell quickly, matching mine. It didn't take long for the hunger inside
to take over. He stepped forward and grabbed a hold of me, pulling me close to
him as he took us over to his bed. I didn't know where we were going to take
this tonight, and quite frankly, I just didn't care; all I knew was I needed to
be with him. It could have been Jase, it could have been my hormones, but every
part of me was craving his touch. I got a taste and I needed more.
“Cassie,” he whispered.
“Shhh,” I whispered back. I
put my finger over his mouth. I didn't want to hear what he was going to say,
we had done enough talking for the night.
I stepped up closer to him,
raising myself on my tippy toes so I was closer to his lips as I pressed mine
hard against his. I heard a small moan escape him as he tangled his hands in my
loose hair, pulling us onto the bed.
We fell onto the bed and I
positioned myself with my back against it as Jason hovered over me, his arms on
either side. I took my hands, placed them on his scruffy face, and pulled him
closer to me. Somewhere between being pulled onto the bed and Jason hovering
over me, our lips had lost each other; this was not going to work for me. I
didn't even have to pull hard as his lips curled up and lowered down to my
face. “I've never seen you like this Sweetheart,” he whispered into my ear as
he nibbled on it.
I was sure a soft moan
escaped my lips as he took my ear into his mouth. “I've been holding it in,” I
told him.
“I can tell,” he said quietly
before running his lips down my neck then into the curve of my shoulder. It was
making me shiver from my neck all the way down to the aching spot between my
legs. He was trailing his way down my neck when I suddenly realized I needed to
take off what was keeping him from continuing further down.
“Wait,” I breathed out. Jason
lifted his lips from my skin as I wiggled my arms enough to slip off the cami I
was wearing, throwing it to the side of the bed. He closed his eyes and let out
a deep breath.
“Damn Cassie, you are going
to be the death of me.” He opened his eyes back up, piercing them into mine. I
needed more.
“Please keep going,” I begged
him.
“You don’t have to beg, but
it's so damn sexy when you do,” he said softly as he brought his lips back to
my skin, taking his time as he moved further down to my bare chest. He slowly
grazed his lips across each breast before making his way down, trailing kisses
until he got to the top of my yoga pants. He was driving me wild; I was having
a hard time not ripping all my clothes off. This was not normal for me, but I
loved every moment of it. He was bringing out a side of me that hadn't existed
before, and I hoped it didn't go away.
I grabbed his upper arms and
rolled us over so I was on top of him. I could feel that this was just as
good for him as it was for me, as his excitement was sitting between my legs.
“Enjoying yourself?” I asked
in the sexiest voice I could find.
“You have no idea. Now get
down here,” he said as he pulled me down to his lips, biting down on my lower
one before smiling and finally pressing our lips together again. Kissing him
was what I always imagined it should feel like. Not wanting our lips to ever be
apart because they felt too good pressed together. I knew deep down kissing had
to be that amazing or people wouldn’t be so passionate about it. I completely
understood it now and I could finally say the feeling happened to me. Jason, he
made it happen, he was the spark that lit my lips on fire. I couldn’t help but
go insane inside as his lips continued to kiss me like his life depended on it.
I slowly released my lips from his and began placing kisses on his chin,
running them all the way down from his chest to the very top of his boxers. I
slowly raised myself up and loved seeing the satisfied grin plastered on his
face. I put my hands on his shoulders and caressed them all the way down,
feeling his chest form goose bumps as I did. I took my index finger and traced
a line along the top of his boxers, making a soft moan rumble through him. I
lowered myself back down on top of him; his hands grabbing my back as our bare
chests collided together. I leaned my mouth close to his ear, whispering into
it. “I know you green light this.”
That must have sparked
something in him because I heard a growl escape his throat as he rolled us back
so he was now hovering over me once again.
“Just so you know, I'm not
this guy. I'm not normally the guy who has a hard time controlling himself. You
seriously have me going crazy right now,” he said with a heavy breath
“Just so you know. I
like it.”
