Description

Perennial New York Times bestselling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips now provides her fans with The Great Escape from ordinary women’s romantic fiction, featuring some of Phillips's most adored characters, including Ted Beaudine and Lucy Jorik. 

Lucy Jorik is a champ at not embarrassing her family—not surprising since her mother is one of the most famous women in the world. But now Lucy has done just that. Instead of saying "I do" to the most perfect man she's ever known, Lucy flees the church and hitches a ride on the back of a beat-up motorcycle with a rough-looking stranger who couldn't be more foreign to her privileged existence. At his beach house on a Great Lakes island, Lucy hopes to find a new direction . . . and unlock the secrets of a man who reveals nothing about himself. But as the hot summer days unfold amid scented breezes and sudden storms, she discovers a passion that could change her life forever.

    This is my first time reading this author and I really disliked this book. Lucy was such a hypocritical witch and he was stupid for even wanting her. She did a lot of lecturing about him being a coward, running away, and not consulting her. She was the one who ran out on her wedding and stayed away from her family. Though it took me awhile, I finally made it to the end and wished I had never made myself finish this book. A complete waste!

    This book is well written and is a page turner, but what happened to Susan Elizabeth Phillips' sex scenes in this romance novel? I missed it completely and I am very disappointed!

    Loved this book as much as I've loved all of the other Phillips books. Very real and completely believable. She's very good at what she does which as a writer makes her fanfrickingtastic.

    I usually love Susan Elizabeth Phillips books. I even brought her other books and for the first time I'm glad i didn't buy this book. It was okay but not her best. I couldn't fall in love with characters like I usually do.

    Not much to say except that this book is not up to par. It's a pleasant romance with a few interesting characters, but the main two,,,,Lucy and Patrick are weak...at least by this author's usual high standards. The novel did not have the rich character and plot development Ive come to expect from this author. Deli-kins

    I loved this book and couldn't put it down. I was sorry when I had finished reading it! This was my first 'read' by Susan Elizabeth Phillips and will definitely be buying more of her books.

    If you like SEP books you won't be disappointed in her new book. I love Lucy in the First Lady and SEP did not disappoint in this character as she grew into an adult! I suggest to any new reader to read the other books in this series first, starting with First Lady - my personal all time favorite!!!!
