Publisher's summary

One escape. One chance to live. One man who will do anything to protect her. And one chance to love.

Jackson Parker has seen evil first hand as a Tier 1 government asset with the FBI Hostage Rescue Team. After months of black ops work overseas, he’s finally coming home for a break. But with Keeneston’s wedding of the century, a stowaway on the run, and a plot that could kill thousands of civilians, Jackson gets anything but rest and relaxation. Especially when the stowaway turns out to be the love of his life and is in the sights of a mass killer.

Evie Scott is running from evil. She’d tried to warn the authorities, but now, it’s too late. Her only option is running. But he found her like he always did. She had never felt safe before. But being in Keeneston and with a man she’d fallen for might do the trick.

Sexual Violence is Not a Joke

Having enjoyed most of the books in this series, I was incredibly disappointed when several characters were joking about sexual violence against women. I never imagined that Jackson or his male friends and/or family would hit, humiliate or degrade a woman.

More importantly, the women in most Bluegrass books have been strong, confident and intelligent, not the type to allow domination and physical abuse. Not sure why Ms. Brooks seems to be promoting the idea that women should be submissive and stupid.

FYI, hitting or being hit by a lover is not an erotic or romantic experience. Domestic violence usually accelerants until someone is seriously injured or dead - so not sexy!

Listened to Several Times

I enjoy this series from the beginning. I have them in Audio and go back to them often to re listen. This one is a re-listen while waiting for the next book. I’m not sure why someone said the author promoted violence in this book, especially by the Keeneston family. I don’t think they’ve read the same books I have. The narrator is good and easy to listen to.

It’s hard waiting for the next book either from Keeneston or Shadows Landing. I can’t wait to see if the firefighters and Katie Woodson find love. Oh and it’s time to reveal the panty dropper. Hint hint.

Love this book!

First there was another review that this book promoted domestic violence. I don’t think we listened to the same book!

Another great visit to Keenston! Strong women, and respectful men who help new women find their strength!

Worth the wait!

OMGGGG! I have been waiting for a new book from this series and MAN, oh MAN!!! I’m actually still listening to Forever Freed but I had to take a minute to give BIG kudos to Kathleen Brooks for (another) JOB WELL DONE!! From the very first book in the very first series; I’ve wanted to move to a place like Shadows Landing & meet/have friends like these!

Keep’em coming, Kathleen! These books are an escape for me. I’m a stay at home mom of a 12 & 5 yr old (& 2 fur babies). These books transport me into another place!

I appreciate you!

LOVE THIS WHOLE SERIES

You already are part of the Kingston family so you have to keep listening. As always you get sucked in and can't stop.

I don't know why I put off listening to Jackson & Evie's story. It was just as good as all of Kathleen Brooks' other stories. I keep thinking that eventually I'll be disappointed but it hasn't happened yet. She just has a way of weaving a terrific story. Of course when you have such excellent characters as those from Keeneston, how can you go wrong. I want to live there.

I was surprised and happy that this story incorporated Shadows Landing as well.

Omg that was great!!

Ms. KB please don't stop writing books and please always have Mr. Dove or Ms. Plummer narrate your books. This one was as good as all of the others. I laughed and enjoyed it so much. Very nicely done can't wait to listen to more. please put a few more of your books on Audible Escape so us members can read them there.
