The Escape

Triple Toronto Connection #3

by Elle Joraco

After years of abuse I was finally free… only I wasn’t. I was running from what I did. What I had to do to survive. I escaped to Toronto where I was supposed to keep my head down. Then I met him and I couldn’t help myself. He made me feel safe. After rescuing me one night I took him up on his offer to let me stay with him, his brother, and their roommate. I never expected my attraction to all three of them. I never expected to let myself feel anything for someone again. If they knew what I did they wouldn’t want me though. If anyone knew what I did I would have to run again. For now though, I just wanted to escape with them.

The third book in the series. I very much enjoyed this just as much as the other 2 books. The main female character, Sage, was strong and brave. And I really liked her. The male characters were great too. I enjoyed the development of the relationships between the characters. The end seemed a tad rushed but still very enjoyable and I loved the book.

I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

I'm so sad that the Triple Toronto Connection series is over. I absolutely adored this series. Joraco has a talent to introduce her readers to characters that are easy to love simply because they have experienced so much in their short lives. They have gone through so much pain, both physical and mental, yet they do not let their experiences harden their heart, even if they are a bit hesitant to love at first. These women haven't had it easy and it is heartwarming to see them open up and want to accept new feelings. Besides the amazingly relatable characters, I love that Joraco touches on some really sensitive subjects like abuse, gender and race discrimination, and rape. She also does a marvelous job of including different medical issues in her books that her characters experience. The readers are able to learn a little something new with each book. This final book was probably my favorite out of the three. I thought it was great that Sage was able to establish some type of connection with both Darren and Killam before they all came to live together as opposed to them all just being thrown in together and hoping for the best. Just that little foundation piece helped so much in seeing the men as individuals and getting to know each of their personalities. Wallace came along a bit later for a true connection, but was worth the wait. It warmed my heart to see Sage help him and Killam work through their feelings, nudging them in the right direction and opening them up to the possibility of there being something more than friendship and heartache. There was a lot of growth in this book, as with each of the Toronto Connection books, but it seemed like it wasn't just focused on healing the main character, Sage. I really loved this one. I'll definitely be reading this series again.

Enjoyed.

I really enjoyed this book. This is my first book for this author and I enjoyed the writing and the characters. Wish we got to know more about Wallace. Didn’t seem he was that present. But I really enjoyed the book. I’m on to the next one.

Sage is stuck in an abusive relationship and fearing for her safety she snaps and kills her abuser. Frightened, she runs away to Toronto to hide from her past. While in Toronto, she meets Darren, Kal and Wallace and quickly finds herself falling for all three of them. She knows she wants to commit to them, but due to being on the run she is scared to let them in and know who she really is. As she starts to allow herself to believe they may have a future together, her past comes back to haunt her and she must choose whether to tell them who she is or run again.

There are plenty of romantic and sexual scenes throughout the book and what I really enjoyed most about this book is that it continously promotes communication between partners and stresses how important consent, communication and being open with each other is if you want to make something work. I think my other favourite part was that despite Sage's past, she didn't allow it to break her. She continues to fight for her freedom and her life and is strong throughout the story.

This is the third book in the series and whilst each can be read as standalone, this one does have some mild spoilers for the first two.

This was written as an ARC review.
