22. The Great Escape

By Susan Elizabeth Phillips (421 pp ebook)

This author came highly recommended and this is the first of hers I've read. It's about the predictable, good-girl who abandons her fiance at the altar and runs off with a cranky tough-guy on a motorcycle. I did not like the first 30 pages of the book and didn't see how I would ever come around to liking these people. I was wrong. Lucy ends up on an island in the Great Lakes and cranky tough-guy isn't who seemed at first. I loved the setting and the secondary characters.
