Publisher's summary

His touch spirals through me, warm and sweet, wicked and hot. I shouldn't trust him. I shouldn't tell him my secrets. But how do I not when he is the reason I breathe? He is what I need.

At the young age of 18, tragedy and a dark secret forced Lara to flee all she knew and loved to start a new life. Now, years later, with a new identity as Amy, she's finally dared to believe she is forgotten - even if she cannot forget. But just when she lets her guard down, the ghosts of her past are quick to punish her, forcing her back on the run.

On a plane, struggling to face the devastation of losing everything again and starting over, Amy meets Liam Stone, a darkly entrancing recluse billionaire who is also a brilliant, and famous prodigy architect. A man who knows what he wants and goes after it. And what he wants is Amy. Refusing to take no as an answer, he sweeps her into a passionate affair, pushing her to her erotic limits. He wants to possess her. He makes her want to be possessed. Liam demands everything from her, accepting nothing less. But what if she is too devastated by tragedy to know when he wants more than she should give?

Very Pleased with this Read!

This is my first Lisa Renee Jones book and happy to say looking forward to reading more. I enjoyed Escaping Reality very much. It had suspense, a nice plot line, it had some steaminess, and I definitely want to move on to the next book. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Wow... I really love this story..

This story has everything from suspense, action, drama, hot sex scenes, and is a heartfelt emotional rollercoaster ride. The cliffhanger leaves you wanting more and waiting impatiently for book 2. It is well worth reading or listening to. Have fun and buckle up for a wonderful ride. You won't want to put the book down or press the stop button if listening to this book... 😀

Can't wait for the second book!

The story went along more quickly then I expected but it follow the usual suspenseful plot that Lisa sucks us in to with all her books. I'm looking forward to finding out where Amy's life taking her next.
