The Great Escape Book Review

Lucy Jorik is the daughter of the president. Her life is perfect or so it seems. She decides to run away from fiance Ted on her wedding day. She gets a ride with a guy on a motorcycle named Panda.

Lucy is 31 and has a mid life crisis. She doesn't want to go home and deal with anyone. She would rather hide out with Panda. There is some attraction between them, and some very witty lines between them. Panda takes them to a remote cabin, and they get to know each other a little bit more. Then he tells her that he is a body guard at the airport, and she decides that she wants to find Panda's House.

Panda is a body Guard and has worked for her parents for some time. His name is Patrick . He owns this huge house , that has lots of memories for him.

Lucy takes over the house, and starts fixing it up. All the while looking like goth girl named Viper with ratty hair. Lucy also makes friends with the neighbors Bree, Toby , and Mike. Panda also gets another job that takes place at his house, and he has to help Temple. The house is filled up with people, and there is still tension between Panda and Lucy.

I enjoyed this book and I do enjoy reading romances but this book touched PTSD or some of the effects of war , and an almost rape but then swept them under the like it was nothing. I am glad that these issues were brought up.  The side characters were more enjoyable than Lucy at times. I wanted to smack her sometimes because she was always so angry at everything and everyone. I did enjoy that Lucy mid life crisis and trying to find herself. I enjoyed Panda and his tough exterior but a marsh mellow on the inside. Panda also really loved kids.

Best Line: That kiss had your guilty conscience smeared all over it. she said. You wanted some kind of absolution because you knew how exactly sleazy you were.

Be the Best at what you are good at
