REVIEW:
Forsaken Trail is the 4th book in the Runaway series by Devney Perry. I absolutely love this series, each book the reader dives deeper into the background of each of the Runaways, their lives were so hard at such a young age and it breaks my heart to see how much they struggled. This story follows Aria and also introduced more in-depth her sister whom will be the main focus in the next and final book. Aria is next in line to get the famous car to drive it to it's next stop, this car has taken each runaway to their happily ever after. However Aria is not looking for that. Or is she?Aria is the feistier sister, she has a lot of fire and is very protective over her sister and her nephew. From the beginning she has despised her sisters boss Brody Carmichael. His very demanding schedules and needs always seem to disrupt her time with her sister. No matter how much her sister says that Brody is a good man, Aria just cant see it and they both clash every time they encounter each other. That is of course until her sister becomes sick when she is to attend a wedding with Brody, Aria takes her place and both Bordy and Aria are surprised that they can actually get alone. Their connection grows deeper as the night goes on, leading to a steamy night that neither can seem to get out of their heads. That is until Aria discovers she's pregnant.
I loved this story, it's a love hate relationship, Aria is a strong-willed woman and won't allow a man to control her what so ever. Where Brody is a man who is always in control and always has used money to get what he needs. They both have to adapt to their new reality and this chemistry that neither were prepared for. The writing as always is beautifully done, Perry peels the many layers of her characters to show the reader, no matter how complex each of them are, they are so loveable and will constantly root for them t find some sort of happiness.
In the end the romance is off the charts, the chemistry is on fire every time the Aria and Brody are together. Secondary characters of loveable, and bring everything together so nicely. There is drama, as always with two complex people, lots of ups and downs. I was holding my breathe for a happy ending. I highly recommend this series, each can be read as a stand alone, but to see how each Runaway got their special journey, you'll need to start from the beginning. The next book will follow Aria sister on her way to California to the final stop.

Excerpt
The whirl of tires and the hum of an engine filled the air before she could answer. A shiny black Jaguar came down the driveway and my heart dropped.
No. That son of a bitch Brody Carmichael was going to ruin my vacation.
“He’s supposed to be gone.” If he dared encroach on my time with Clara, I’d sneak poison ivy into his bed.
“It’s not his fault.” Clara sighed, quick to defend her boss.
“Did his private plane not have enough spiced cashews for his liking? Surely he can afford jet fuel.”
The second-best part of this week, besides Clara and Gus, was Brody’s scheduled absence. Clara knew there was no love lost between me and her boss, so she’d suggested travel dates that coincided with his vacation.
Yet here he was, parking a car that likely cost more than all of my worldly possessions combined.
Brody parked behind the Cadillac and stepped out of his car, sliding the sunglasses off his face. He wore a navy suit tailored to perfection around his broad shoulders and long legs. In the years I’d known him, I’d never seen him in anything but a suit. Did he not own jeans?
“Brody!” August raced over, holding up a hand for a high five. “Aunt Aria is here. We’re gonna open my presents.”
“I see that.” Brody’s lips turned up in a smile. Barely.
If the man ever learned how to deliver one properly, actually show some teeth, he’d be devastating. Especially with the dark, trimmed beard he’d grown a few years ago. It gave him a sexy edge. Or it would have, if his perpetually sour mood wasn’t such a major turnoff.
He definitely, definitely didn’t turn me on. Oh no.
Broderick Carmichael was enemy number one.
