Carver's Book Cravings: Blog Tour & Giveaway: Running on Forever by Ashley Wilcox

~ Synopsis ~

Recent college graduate, Kayla Reynolds was ready to leave the university, sorority life behind. Leaving her boyfriend of over three years, she packed her bags and moved four hours south to the big city…New York City. Bright lights, streets that never sleep, and a business lifestyle that she yearned to have were all at her fingertips.

Kayla Reynolds was chasing her dream.

Determined and eager to make it in the corporate world, Kayla changed everything- her image, lifestyle, and outlook on life, putting her career first and her personal life second. That was until her first day, the first time she got a glimpse of Miles Blackwell. Corporate CEO and part owner of ETV, and not to mention, incredibly handsome, Miles Blackwell took Kayla by surprise, stealing her heart as he did.

But nothing had ever come that easy for Kayla. Life had always seemed to have a personal vendetta against her, stepping in when everything seemed too good to be true, reminding herself of whom she really was. It wasn’t until she met Merrick Drake that she realized when to stop; when running was no longer an option. For the first time in her life she had someone she could relate to; someone who wouldn’t judge- who saw the person she was inside. She and Merrick connected…on more levels than one.

When life was too much to handle, they ran.

But there was only one person that could make Kayla stop for good. Only one man that made her want to stay.

Would Kayla finally stop running or would it all be too much to handle?

4 Star review by Annie

Welcome to the ride of a lifetime. This book was like an amusement park rollercoaster that you just couldn't get enough of. In my mind I saw this book going one way, then halfway through I was slapped in the face with a turn. Then I thought it was headed another way, then another turn. I just couldn't figure it out. This is the first book I have read from this author, and let me tell you I was impressed!

Always running from her problems, Kayla decided she wanted to change her life. So she leaves her boyfriend of three plus years with nothing but a memory and a goodbye letter. She lands a job at an entertainment company and leaves for NYC. Starting fresh, and leaving the old Kayla and all her bad decisions behind her.

What she didn't plan on was running into the man of her dreams on day one. The problem is he is part owner and CEO of the company she works for. She tries with all her might to not fall for Miles Blackwell, but her heart has no boundaries.

When the past catches up to her, she does what she knows how to do. Run! She runs right into the arms of the local hot bartender, Merrick. Can she stop running and face her problems head on? Or does she run away from true love?

Not only do we get the hot CEO, but we also get the sexy Motorcrossing/bartender filled with tattoos and a smoking hot body. What girl wouldn't be happy? This book has a lit bit of everything to fulfill every woman's fantasy.

This was an amazing read. I loved the ending how we get a glimpse of the next book in this stand alone series. It looks like it is going to be a good one! I give this book a 4 star!

Some may consider me a jack of all trades, but I consider myself well rounded. I've waitressed, styled hair, answered phones and most recently, worked full time as a mom to my two beautiful little boys. Then there was this book.... Everyone and their brother started talking about this book series titled Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James. I didn't really pay attention to the craze at first, since I wasn't a big reader- okay, I didn't read at all. But curiosity got the best of me, so I downloaded it to my kindle. I was immediately hooked. I read the whole series in three days. Yes, three books in three days. I kept finding all these great books that I HAD to read (just ask my credit card!). Then I started hearing voices. Voices that turned into stories; stories that were begging to get out of my head. I started writing them down on scraps of paper. Then I transferred them to my computer. Before I knew it, Planning on Forever was born. The voices in my head are still talking, so I'm still writing.
