This book follows on from Escape Down Under, it was left on a cliff-hanger where Jess saw Max and Stella (someone sort this women out already!!) kissing. Jess being scared of letting anyone in again, does the only thing she knows and runs. Max thinks that leaving Jess alone is best for everyone. He is scared he will hurt Jess like he has everyone else around him. But Max soon comes to realise that life is nothing without Jess by his side. So he manages to talk to Jess and explain everything that has happened. But life gets in the way; Jess is scared to trust him or open her heart to him.
Have they both fallen into something they can’t escape from? Can they make it through and finally learn how to be together?
I LOVED this book! I loved Escape as well and I couldn’t wait to read this book. Max and Jess are amazing characters, I love that Jess doesn’t stand for his shit but she will allow Max to do what is needed for her. Jess has become very independent, I don’t think she quite realises that yet. But the fact that she has come out of a shit relationship, then lives on her own and then moves across the world for her job just shows how independent she can be.
What to say about Max?? He’s HOT, dominating, controlling (in good ways) protective, caring and has a damaged past, which I can’t wait to find out more about. For me when we first meet him in Escape, I got attached to him and he just got all of my attention. I wanted to find out everything about him. He is one of those characters that pulls you into the story and keeps holding onto you until the end.
He is on my list of BBF’s and is right there at the top ;)
This story had some amazing unexpected twists to it, things that I just didn’t see coming, which I loved.
I wish someone would sort Stella out. She is one evil B*tch. But I love the fact that Jess and Melissa stand up to her. I am so glad that Max is finally seeing sense when it comes to her.
I can’t wait to read the next book in the Down Under Trilogy. Steph you have done a fantastic job with Max and Jess and I can’t wait to see where you take us next with them.
5 MUSCULER STARS!
