Virginia’s Review- 5 stars
Have you read Jodi’s books yet? If not, you need to get on it now! I love her books and I know you will too!!
Escape was sooooo good!! I love it when I get into a book from the very beginning and can’t get enough of it. That’s how I was with Escape. I read every free minute I had until I finished. Jodi writes stories that you cannot put down. I went into Escape thinking that it would be more of a military story than it was. But I was pleasantly surprised and think it’s perfect just the way it is. It’s well written with a thought out plot that had me on the edge of my seat. And everything is so descriptive I pictured it all as I was reading.
Escape is Keith and Lexi’s story. One of the things I loved about it is that their story isn’t all love and happiness. In fact, it’s the opposite. Their story has so many trials and tribulations. The plot is complex and brings you on a roller coaster of emotions. Mixed in with all the drama is love, romance and humor. I found my heart breaking, then I found myself laughing. My heart and head were all over and I loved every minute of it.
Keith is one of my favorite male characters. He’s sweet, loving, strong, fearless and determined. His love for Lexi knows no bounds and he will fight for it. I absolutely loved him. I also loved seeing other characters that we met before and loved.
If you want a book that will you will absolutely love, you need to go read Escape! And all of Jodi’s books for that matter!! Go!
