Runaway Train #1-4
Music of the Heart
For the first time ever, all the books in the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Runaway Train series are found in one place. Ride along with the men of Runaway Train and the women who steal their hearts.
MUSIC OF THE HEART
Abby Renard never imagined stumbling onto the wrong tour bus at Rock Nation would accidentally land her in the bed of Jake Slater, the notorious womanizing lead singer of Runaway Train. Jake Slater never imagined the angel who fell into his bed would resist his charms by promptly kneeing him in the balls. So he is more than surprised when after betting Abby she wouldn’t last a week on their tour bus, she is more than willing to prove him wrong.
As the week starts comes to a close, neither Abby nor Jake is ready to let go. Can a sweetheart Country songstress and a bad boy of Rock N Roll actually have a future together?
BEAT OF THE HEART
After years of bad relationships and a cheating ex-fiancé, twenty-eight-year-old Mia Martinelli prefers healing her patients’ hearts on the Cardiac Care floor rather than risking having her heart broken again. But that all comes to a screeching halt when caring for the head roadie for Runaway Train puts her into the orbit of drummer and Latin Lover, AJ Resendiz. After a scorching weekend of steamy passion, Mia’s intention of getting out with her heart unscathed is challenged by the stud with the wicked sense of humor. Although he tries to forget the sensual brunette whose curves made his mouth water, AJ can’t get her out of his mind…or his heart. Can AJ prove to Mia that regardless of the women after his body, his heart belongs only to her?
MUSIC OF THE SOUL
After a year-long engagement, Jake Slater and Abby Renard have finally been able to set a wedding date. It’s off to Mexico for a destination ceremony on a private beach. After a heated week-long honeymoon in a tropical paradise, the two return to the real world of touring and making music together.
As the newlyweds settle into married life, another twist of fate challenges their love. For once, Abby isn’t able to be the rock of strength that Jake needs. Can the two of them hold on to the strong foundation of love they have built, or will it crumble under the pressure?
STRINGS OF THE HEART
Twenty-year-old, Allison Slater has been in love with her brother’s bandmate, Rhys McGowan, since she was fifteen years old. But to him, she’ll always be Jake’s little sister and off limits. Will Rhys realize that having a relationship with Allison is worth fighting for even if it means that he has to fight his best friend for a chance?
MELODY OF THE HEART
As the Runaway Train family gathers in Savannah, Georgia for the wedding of its last single member, Rhys McGowan, to Allison Slater, Jake's little sister, Rolling Stone magazine prepares an issue to celebrate the union. While focusing on the happy couple, they also sit down with Brayden and Lily Vanderburg for a feature on successful rock star marriages. After all, the two have been a couple since they were sixteen years old. But there is more to the story than meets the eye, and their love took a slight detour before finding happily ever after.
Told in flashbacks from the present to the past, Brayden and Lily share the story of their unbreakable love.

For the past few weeks I’ve been reading Katie Ashley Romance’s RUNAWAY TRAIN SERIES. I’ve read the first book like 5 yrs ago but hadn’t read the rest of the series yet. Well let me just say, I absolutely LOVED this whole series. I loved the story lines. Loved the emotions I felt while reading. Loved the connections between the characters & not just the chemistry between he & she, but within the whole band. The guys were freaking hilarious when they were around each other. I also loved how they were with their women/significant others when they were around. There was heartache, joy, rough times, humor...it was all there in every story. I thought my fave was Music of the Heart (I read it like 3 times), but I have to say that reading the last book, Melody of the Heart, made me smile & feel a sense of completeness or fulfillment by the end. I loved how Lily & Brayden told their story from the past. What they’ve been through & how far they’ve come. It was the perfect ending to a very enjoyable series. THANK YOU Katie Ashley for your brilliant imagination!

Series and Eli and Gabe
These books was so intense. They made you feel you were there with the characters. They mad you laugh,cry and be humble. Very well written. The one thing I have wondered in not only these but other romance novels, safe sex by using protection but with oral sex . If these characters haven’t been tested do couples have oral sex without protection?

I have read each book more than once and it is hard to pick a favourite. Each book had me laughing and crying for different reasons. I did love how Brayden’s book was at the end in this box set since the other guys were single.

Breathtaking
What a wonderful series! I loved every minute of it. It was so amazing that each book just pretty much kept the story flowing like a movie. I loved continuously knowing what all of the characters were doing and how well each story blended!!!
