{Release Blitz & Book Review}: WILD HIGHWAY (Runaway #2) by Devney Perry

WILD HIGHWAY (Runaway #2) Release Date: June 23rd Purchase Details: www.devneyperry.com/books/wild-highway 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.

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.

My heart was all tingly after reading this feel good, second chance love story by Devney.
As good as the first book Runaway Road was, this book is Even Better!!!
Londyn’s cherry-red, 1964 Cadillac DeVille convertible



it seems like the fabled pumpkin carriage given by fairy godmother of fate itself, taking the girls to their HEA. I mean if Prince Charming can't come to the princess, they get into their car and Runaway on the Wild Highway!!
It's a relay trip turned life changing journey for at least two of the Junkyard Gang of Temecula.
"These spontaneous decisions of the past few weeks suddenly made sense. They had purpose. They had meaning. They were to get me here, in this moment. I was setting out to right a wrong. To find myself again. On the wild highway." 



There's something to be said about hot & sexy Cowboys in hat, boots and chaps that makes a girl go ga-ga. Easton Greer is just that, plus he has a tight Ass in those fitted jeans. Gemma Lane never stood a chance, 11 years ago and now in the present. But walking away has been easier for her, to protect her heart.
"Easton had perfected sexy, mysterious cowboy. The man belonged on the cover of a romance novel—shirtless, of course." 



When the Twain meet and revisit some of the unfulfilled desires, the heart jumps in to create havoc with the senses and it becomes a messy situation where one of them is bound to get hurt real bad!!
The book is alive with all the emotions. Set in a small town in Montana, it has earthy and rich sentiments, crispy weather and warm cozy cabins. There's midwestern hospitality and open armed policy for the lost ones returning home



Only Gemma has no idea where her journey ends.
"I just wanted to go home. But where was home? Boston? California? The cabin? None of those places were home. I was filthy rich and utterly homeless. The closest thing I had was that Cadillac outside." 
It's a "wandering soul looking for nirvana" kind of a story, almost like an epiphany before the fork in the road, in the middle of nowhere!!
5 stars for stallions and studs who ride them
