Run so Far
When Kyle stumbles into a truck stop diner, he just wants a bit of time to try to remember the weekend that has changed his life. He meets trucker Delaney Vance and when the older man invites him to travel with him across the US, Kyle thinks it’s the perfect opportunity to relax and find his memories. As the two men start to get comfortable with each other, unexpected emotions start to develop on both sides.
Del is a man trying to forget the past and he’s done a pretty good job of it away from people, trucking for a living, and forgoing personal relationships. But all of that changes as Kyle worms his way into Del’s heart.
The past is about to catch up with both of them. With Kyle’s memories come a difficult and scary decision to make…ruin his family or hide the truth. Can Del help him navigate a future when he himself can’t shake the ghosts of his own past?

A Joyfully Jay review.
4.25 stars
I really liked this one. The blurb intrigued me, and at 83 pages (according to Amazon), I’d hoped it would be a nice way to spend an evening. I got everything I hoped for. Kyle and Del were well written, sympathetic characters, and I loved the idea of them getting to know each other during a long ride in a big rig. I also thought it was cool how Kyle knew who he was on the run from, and knew it had to do with a photo on his camera, but he wasn’t exactly aware of the circumstances behind that photo and how he got it. I’ve read a few amnesia stories, but they were all about total memory loss, not about a character who was actually aware of that loss, trying to figure out what happened. This was all new territory for me, and I was impressed.
As I said, I found Kyle and Del to be sympathetic. They aren’t happy individuals, but they click together. It’s a novella, so there isn’t a lot of time for them to have a slow burn, but it didn’t matter. From the moment they met in that diner, the chemistry was obvious. Sometimes, you just know. I think my favorite thing about them is the comfort they give each other after nightmares. I don’t want to give too much away, but it’s not only Kyle with issues, and while Kyle is in a certain amount of danger, Del is in a kind of hell that broke my heart.
There aren’t many major background characters. Basically, it’s Kyle’s mom, his uncle, and his cousin. The cousin, Brian, is a spoiled and entitled little bastard, and the uncle, Peter the cop, has catered to his every whim. Once again, I don’t want to give away major plot points, but Kyle has every reason to want to get out of Dodge.
