NEW RELEASE + REVIEW: Quarter Miles by Devney Perry

QUARTER MILES (Runaway #3)
Release Date: July 21st

Purchase Details: 


Katherine Gates has been in love with Cash Greer since the moment he saved her life from a runaway goat. According to Cash, she’s the little sister he never had, the greatest roommate in the world and his favorite coworker. They’re friends—best friends.

In the dark days of her youth, it was her friendships that kept her alive and made life in a junkyard worth living. So she’s learned to shove her feelings for Cash down deep, even if that means ignoring eyes that shine brighter than the Montana summer sun and the smile that illuminates the snowiest winter day.

Except with every passing year, the denial takes its toll on her wounded heart until one day Katherine decides to take an impulsive road trip to the Oregon coast. Alone. That is, until Cash cons his way into the passenger seat.

The farther they travel, the harder it is to pretend. And when she confesses her feelings, she learns that Cash has some secrets of his own. Secrets that will either bond them together. 

Or rip them apart.




EXCERPT

“Why did you turn the air on?” she asked, looking above us to the open air.
“I’m hot.” Desperate. What would it take for her to put on a goddamn sweater? “Are you wearing sunscreen?”
“Uh, no.” She gave me a sideways glance. “Why?”
“You’re going to get burned.” Get the sweater, Kat. You know you want to.
“I’ll be fine. At the next gas station, I’ll grab a bottle for us.”
Us. Why did that word sound so serious? It wasn’t the intimate kind of us. There was no us. Not in the couple sense of the word. Did I want there to be an us?
Yes.
That lightning-fast internal response nearly had me slamming on the brakes, turning this car around and going back to Montana, where the world was normal.
Kat was my friend. My best friend. Roommate. Coworker. Pseudo sibling. There were days when I’d trade Easton for her permanently. Okay, any day. There were plenty of ways to label our relationship and us was not one.
I could not—would not—tear down the boundaries that nearly a decade and firm family reminders had put in place.


REVIEW 

5 STARS

This series is AMAZING in every way. With each book in the series they get better and better!  Quarter Miles is the 3rd book in the series and follows runaway, Katherine Gates. We met Katherine in Wild Highway and ever since I have been eager to read her story. Kat has had a tough childhood being a runaway. She and a group of her friends that were living in a junkyard in their teens happen upon Greer Mountain Resort. Among her friends Kat is the  only one that stayed. Kat has a sweet soul. She is grew up way too fast but has found a family amongst the Greer's. She is loyal and extremely hard working. 

Cash Greer is Katherine's best friend and roommate but what he doesn't know is that she has been hiding her feelings for him for over 10 years and those feelings go beyond friendship. Cash is a gorgeous, frustrating man but also has a beautiful, kind heart. He is protective and caring over his family and loved ones. 

On a whim Katherine decides to take a road trip in the old Cadillac left by Gemma, to Oregon with the plan to drop it off to friend and fellow runaway, Aria but what she doesn't anticipate is Cash jumping in the passenger seat and inviting himself along.

Quarter Miles is a truly beautiful, angsty, emotional journey between two best friends turn lovers. I adored Cash and Katherine. Their friendship, their banter, the humor, the sweet moments and the passionate ones I couldn't get enough of. I read this in one sitting and devoured every word, thought and feeling. Even through the frustrating moments you can feel so much chemistry and love between these two. 

This series is uniquly written and I am eagerly awaiting Aria, Clara and Karson's books next.
