Forsaken Trail

Runaway, Book 4

Aria Saint-James has planned the perfect getaway: sweatpants, takeout, and two weeks alone with her sister and nephew. Nowhere on that list is wearing a low-cut dress and uncomfortable heels to attend a wedding where she knows neither the bride nor the groom. Toss in her nemesis Brody Carmichael, and her road trip to Arizona is officially a bust.

But, at least, there is champagne.

She blames the bubbly for falling into bed with Brody that night. Enemy or not, the billionaire is irresistible in a tux. But after their one-night tryst, Aria has no choice but to cut her vacation short, returning home to escape his devilish smile, vowing never to see Brody again.

Except, Aria gets a surprise a few weeks later - she’s pregnant. When he learns that she’s carrying his child, Brody offers Aria the chance of a lifetime. The catch? She has to live under his roof until the baby is born.

Either they’ll kill each other in nine months or discover love buried beneath their hate.

The Red Cadillac

i stumbled on Devney Perry while looking for other books narrated by Jason Clarke. .Some one dubbed this series Runaway. And yes all the main characters are runaways but the Red Cadillac is the glue, the catalyst, the Main character.
This is Aria and Brody's story. It is not as inventive as the others and the narrators are good they are not as good as Jason Clarke,
The red Cadillac has now traveled to Arizona and has not managed to get to California yet.

Another great one!

Great story for Aria! Not as spicy as the previous in the series, but great chemistry between Aria and Brody!

5 stars!

Anything by Devney is always a one click! This book didn't disappoint and was an incredible continuance of a perfect series. SO excited for Cara and Karsons story!

Forsaken Trail

This has become one of my favorite series! I absolutely love the story of Aria and Brody, in one of my favorite tropes~ accidental pregnancy. Aiden Snow and Maxine Mitchell did a fantastic job of bringing these characters to life!

One night stand leads to more!

Forsaken Trail is the 4th book in the Runaway series by Devney Perry. I love the premise of this series so much: “one car, one cross-country road trip, five stories about six runaways finally finding home!” In the author’s note it says how this series was inspired by her love for The Boxcar Children series and wondering whatever happened to those kids once they were adults. I loved those books growing up too and was so excited for this series because of that!

This is a hate to love, turned “be my fake date to a wedding”, turned one-night-stand, turned surprise pregnancy, turned “move in with me” romance! And I loved every minute of it! There is something about the way Devney Perry writes surprise pregnancy and surprise baby romances that just always work for me, she always make me question if it isn’t a trope I actually secretly love because hers always end up being my favs! 😅

We met Aria in the previous book when the red Cadillac was left with her in Oregon. And now its turn for her roadtrip and we follow as she heads off from the Oregon coast to Arizona to see her twin sister Clara and her nephew August. Clara and Aria spent most of their teen years in the California junkyard with the others and haven’t looked back. When she arrives to visit Clara, it means she also has to see Brody, Clara’s billionaire boss and friend. Brody and Aria had a terrible first meeting about a decade ago and neither are that happy when Clara pushes them to attend a wedding together. Brody is to attend the wedding of his ex-fiancé to his younger brother and Clara convinces him he should take Aria as his fake date. To their surprise, they actually have a good time together at the wedding and end up sleeping together after! When their one night stand turns into a surprise pregnancy a couple months later, Brody and Aria find themselves wrapped up in one another’s lives.

I really enjoyed Aria and Brody’s energy together, their hate to love vibes from the start and then the fake dating at the wedding. They had me laughing out loud and I loved Aria at the wedding. I really liked that once Brody learns about the baby, he is all in. He refuses to be an absent father, like his parents, and wants to be a part of their child’s life right from the start. He asks Aria for 1 year with him: move to Arizona, live with him while pregnant, stay once the baby is born, and wait for him to gain access to his family’s business (after his upcoming birthday) before they make plans for after. He buys her a flower shop! Aria is used to doing things on her own, so I liked seeing how she had to make room in her life for his help.
