Every once in a while, you need to get away from it all. I was a woman on the edge, shaken and shattered after a breakup that felt like it tore my entire world apart. My best friend, sick of watching me drown in misery and melancholy, harassed me until I agreed to go with her on a week-long wilderness retreat. She promised days spent bonding and getting in touch with our inner bad-asses. It was supposed to be all about the two of us roughing it and making do with the bare minimum. She assured me we were going to be pushed to our limits in ways that were unimaginable. Neither one of us could have ever guessed just how right she was. Nowhere in the glossy brochure did it say anything about the fact I was going to have to battle the insufferable but deliciously rugged and sexy trail guide instead of the elements. The brochure also forgot to mention the part that warned when you left civilization behind, there was no place to pack your inhibitions and fears. I was told that I would be facing a week where the only thing I should expect was the unexpected. However, no one mentioned that I was going to have to fight for my life…and my heart as soon as I ventured into the unknown. I was a pro at hiding from my feelings but when it came time to face a real threat, one that could change everything, I learned I was more of a no surrender, no retreat kind of girl. Retreat is a standalone novel, the first in the Getaway series which centers on the hardheaded and brokenhearted Warner brothers and the women that dare to love them. These boys are very good at putting the wild in wilderness.

I really liked this story about resurrecting yourself. Leo was burned rather badly by a man who lied to her. But she was also settling for someone she thought she could control. She was abandoned young by the person who is supposed to love you no matter what; her mother.
Cy was raised on a ranch and could not wait to escape until his father got sick and his brothers needed him.
I loved that he had been married to a woman he loved abc it didn’t work out but there was no crazy ex lurking about. He was also very honest about where his life was and what he was willing to give.
The sparks were clear and bright and I enjoyed the steam. Even the craziness that broke out was interesting. I don’t read a book by this author without expecting something crazy to happen.
I felt so much for Sutton and Em and look forward to knowing how their story turns out.
I also love her note to the readers at the beginning.
