4.5 Bailey Running On All Cylinders Stars
* * * * 1/2 Spoiler Free-RUN, DON'T WALK, It's FREE!!!
I have mentioned this before...I fell hard for Tessa Bailey when I read Protecting What's His (Line of Duty, #1) years ago. I discovered it when GR friend Lisa Jayne's review crossed my feed. I loved the review and quickly went click-click acquiring the book. Little did I know it would lead to a binge reading of the entire Line of Duty series.

For when Tessa Bailey is in her groove...she writes the best characters. They are riddled with imperfections which make them perfect for the stories. They have deep feelings and huge hearts. They are most comfortable in their own skins and are willing to be equal participants in their relationships... emotionally and sexually...

And when they are involved with the ones whose hearts and private parts go beat beat beat...Watch out because the heat level is so high... it may be the main contributing factor of Climate Change!

For Real...

This time I can thank Lana ❇✾Dirty Girl Romance❇✾ and her review (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...) reminding me of my affection for Bailey books.

In Getaway Girl, Tessa Bailey took everything she knows how to do... and applied it full throttle. She brought us Addison Potts, the black sheep cousin, curious enough to slip into the church where her perfect right side of the family was to marry the future Mayor of Charleston. There, leaning against the back of the church in black leather pants and throw away top, she gazed out at the full pews. There was the entire town, decked out in their Southern best.

Once there, though, Addison really couldn't figure out why she actually was there...She was part of the past... her mother who did the unthinkable...hooked up a well to do man just before marrying his fiance...Something Addison never was able to live down. It caused her mother to desert her, leaving her grandma to take care of her.

Addison was turning to leave and caught the eye of Elijah Montgomery Du Pont. She sees this man, his eyes lock on hers for the briefest moment...and she knows for sure she needs to get the hell out of there...Then, like a TV Soap Opera, a woman delivers Elijah a note at the altar, he reads it and with emotions crossing his face, he looks out on the gathering apologizing for bringing them here on a Sunday.

Addison rushes to the parking lot, gets her car and when she sees Elijah coming down the steps, she offers him some Grey Goose and a ride away from all the well-wishers. Elijah still stunned accepts the bottle and then the ride. Addison asking him what he wants, gets his truth... he wants to just hide and breathe... to just be for a moment. Addison offers her place and off they go.

Neither Addison and Elijah are looking for any romance. This was not the agenda...both fall into becoming best friends. And from this Best Friend business...My oh My, the slow burn, the internal attraction for each other is off the charts.

And Please Know...when Bailey leads these two to the point of breaking and giving in to the attraction they have been fostering...You better make sure your Air Conditioner is working and the Do Not Disturb sign is hanging off your door.

But with all of this mentioning of hot times... know none of it would work if the characters weren't worth our time. Elijah and Addison were both so special. Elijah, with his care and then untamed want for Addison was off the charts and classic Tessa Bailey. Addison was comfortable in her own skin and sexuality. They were a match made in Bailey heaven.

I went into this basically blind and it held my attention all the way through. There are hints to a possible follow up book for another character... and won't that just be fine.
