Lädt ... Retreatvon Jay Crownover
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  WhiskeyintheJar | Feb 14, 2019 |   This is a different Jay Crownover. I loved this Jay as much (if not a little more even) than the Jay I have read and loved. Her Marked Men are the boys that got me back into being a voracious reader. But the Warner brothers will stick with me forever. These characters are raw and damaged and broken. Yet the rise and grow, then take another beating, only to rise and grow again. The suspense is good and the sex is hot, but the characters are why I gave Retreat 5 stars. Stunning story that had me fanning myself from the heat between Leo and Cy, then crying for them later on. Beautiful. (  ) thebookdisciple | Oct 9, 2018 | She fights with Cyrus, and it's kismet that the two would be attracted to each other. The characters are well thought out, and for someone that this is not their comfort zone, she knocked it out of the park as she does with all her work. I won't go into great detail about this book, because I hate reviews with spoilers, but this is a must read book. ( ) KGarner | Aug 4, 2018 | Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: 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 badasses. 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 lifeâ?¦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. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

His look, the way his entire face tightened in hungry, appreciative lines made me feel like something more, made me feel like I deserved to be worshiped and maybe even loved. If that was how he looked at his girl, then I never wanted to be anything else.
Cyrus Warner had just as many control issues as I did, which was why we both liked to test the other’s limits and neither one of us liked to fail.
This was pretty different from the usual Crownover stories I have read and I not only applaud the author for trying something new but I really enjoyed it.
Mostly first person from heroine's pov, she's a bit cranky, has some trust issues, and been burned but I liked her tough cookie act up against our hero. Hero's a cool, straight-shooter, sexily self-assured, and wary of love cowboy who wears motorcycle boots. They played off each other well and had some hot scenes (who knew campground showers could be such a scorching sex setting).
Hero's brothers with heroine's bestfriend feature heavily, they're stars of the next books in the series and worked great to add and round out the story. There's some mystery/action/suspense that will keep the pages turning. I thought the last 1/3 or so of the ending was slowed things way down and there were even some sex scenes I started to skim, I felt like the story dragged on a bit too much and the action and danger our characters found themselves in got fantastical and instead of feeling sad/worried, it lost me.
Otherwise, this was a great something different and I'm definitely going to continue reading in the series. (
