Escape

by Ella Col

Gabby Roman has every intention of following through on a promise that she made, but when she feels that she is about to make the biggest mistake of her life, she runs as far as the road will take her. Destiny awaits Gabby, or so she thinks. She finds herself trying to settle in a place where she does not fit in. When Gabby meets Ty, she feels a pull like she’s never felt before. Although the pull is strong for Ty, the small town pettiness is stronger. Will she survive the ridicule or will she run from the one person who makes her feel safe?

About the author

Wow...that's all a girl can say. July of 2013 I decided to hit publish on a little story called Save. Little did I know what would happen next. I started to get reviews...fan mail...Facebook and Twitter requests. To say I was floored is an understatement. I'm so touched by the welcoming response. More than anything, I am humbled by the thought that you...yes you...downloaded my work and liked it. Sure, I can't please everyone. That being said, the fact that you enjoyed my story/stories means so much more to me. I wish I could hang out with each and every one of you and make you understand what this all means to me. For now...I will say 'Thank you'. And, I will do my best to keep knocking out books as long as you keep reading them.
Love,
Ella

I absolutely loved Ella Col's Escape!!! Gabby and Ty's story kept me at the edge of my seat. I was dying to know how everything turned out between them.

Ty has his life going exactly as planned and on his way to become sheriff. That's how his grandparents mapped his life out in the small town.

Gabby is confident, smart, and successful but fears confrontations. She runs from her wedding with Phynn to end up staying with Ty.

They try to ignore the sexual tension between them but fail miserably. They fall in love knowing that it is jeopardizing Ty's chance at becoming sheriff. It's a small town and people talk. They don't like change and by change, I mean Gabby! Will their efforts to chase Gabby away work? You have to read to find out!

I am a huge fan of Ella Col's and have read all of her amazing books. She's definitely one of my all-time favorite authors and Escape is different than her usual way of writing but she nailed it!! The sex scenes are steamier and go more in depth and the story is magnetic. I also loved how Gabby is not your normal size 0 character. I highly recommend Gabby and Ty's story. You'll be addicted! And who doesn't love a hot cop? Lol Kudos to Ella Col on this one!!!!

Gabby Roman has every intention of following through on a promise that she made, but when she feels that she is about to make the biggest mistake of her life, she runs as far as the road will take her. Destiny awaits Gabby, or so she thinks. She finds herself trying to settle in a place where she does not fit in. When Gabby meets Ty, she feels a pull like she’s never felt before. Although the pull is strong for Ty, the small town pettiness is stronger. Will she survive the ridicule or will she run from the one person who makes her feel safe?

Runaway brides are what I link to Julia Roberts' movie of the same title alongside Richard Gere, but as hilarious as they made out the movie to be, I've never really sat back to think what the consequences on the bride could be and why she would run in the first place. Obviously, the immediate answers comets to mind: ridicule and gossip, and she runs because she has cold feet; but Ella Col gives us more, she goes straight for the truth and doesn't try to sugar coat it. Who knew it was more than cold feet that pushes Gabby to run and so far that she is pulled over by police officer Ty because of her erratic driving from exhaustion and having no other alternative but to accept his offer to rent a room from him. These two tried as much as they could to deny their attraction to one another, but as they spent more time together, the chemistry built to such a degree that it was HOT! Ella Col also brought to life the cruelty of human nature to gossip and speak behind one's back - whether positively or negatively - and see/read the effects it has on Gabby is heartbreaking. No one deserves to go through the and suffering of seeing the people around you judge you simply by your actions without knowing the reasons behind them. As much as Escape was temptingly seductive, it was also an emotional rollercoaster that made me wonder if I'd be able to make it through the novel without any tissues or having to take any breaks to hose myself down. Certainly this is one novel that I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend to any readers wanting to add or even discover a new author.
