by Susan Elizabeth (Get the Book)Phillips, the only four-time winner of the Romance Writers of America's Favorite Book of the Year Award, picks up the story she began in Call Me Irresistible (2011) with Lucy Jorick, an ex-president's daughter who knows that beggars can't be choosers. Especially one who has just abandoned her too-good-to-be-true fiance, Ted Beaudine, at the altar and now has the entire town of Wynette hot on her tail. So when bad-to-the-bone biker Panda offers Lucy a lift on his motorcycle, Lucy swallows any and all hesitations and climbs on board. What starts out as a fast getaway quickly turns into an unforgettable road trip with a man who would be right at home in a cave with a club. When Lucy begins investigating her road warrior, she discovers a few unexpected things about Panda, but learns even more about herself. With her latest flawlessly written romance, Phillips delivers the kind of complex, realistically complicated characters and richly emotional love story her fans have come to expect. Fueled with incendiary sexual chemistry, and deliciously witty, The Great Escape is another jewel from one of the genre's most incandescent stars. --Booklist
