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.
I truly cannot get enough of this series!!! Devney has hit a goldmine with this one!! Each book can be easily read as a standalone without any problems. However, I think most readers will find that reading them in order is even more enjoyable.
This series is about a group of runaways that became friends when they found a home living together in a junk yard. They are all grown and moved on with their own lives. However, it’s a car that slowly bringing them all back together one road trip at a time.
Quarter Miles is Katherine’s journey as she tries to find herself and what she truly wants in life. She has never felt the need to look anywhere since she arrived at the Greer’s lodge so many years ago. She has found a home there and truly never thought she’d leave. But knowing her best friend will never see her as more, she jumps at the chance to escape and take the Cadillac to its next destination. Except her best friend has other ideas – he’s coming along.
This title if more fitting than you know. Quarter Miles is one hell of an emotional story and I loved every bit of it. I enjoyed watching both Cash and Katherine become aware of so much about each other and themselves. Devney gives her characters depth and that just makes the reader even more vested in these characters and their story.
I enjoyed every singled thing about this book and I wont give away anything else about it. This book will have you glued to the pages from start to finish. You will love these characters and the wonderful places they visit. Not going to lie – if these places exist in RL, I would love to visit them. Devney makes them that real – hell, they could be or based on real life places.
Quarter Miles is another hit in the Runaway series and I cannot wait to read the next one! I am already ready to dive into that story.
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.
