Forsaken Trail

The journey to California in the Cadillac continues with Aria's story in this fourth book in The Runaway series. This one was a really quick read for me and only took me a few hours to get through. However, the story and characters felt a bit underdeveloped compared to others in the series, but I still really enjoyed it. Forsaken Trail follows Aria and Brody. Brody is Aria's sister, Clara's boss, and it's no secret that Aria and he do not get along. After a drunken one night stand leads to something unexpected, the two must decide on how to make things work civilly. There are whisperings of tension, spice, and a little forced proximity, but I definitely feel like they could have been expanded on. I'm really excited to get to book 5 and see where the story goes for Clara. Overall this was a quick and sweet read, and Aria's story definitely needed to be told. Forsaken Trail is an adult romance, 18+ for sexual content and themes— I recommend checking trigger warnings
