The Getaway Guy was everything I hoped for and more.

Runaway bride Quinley hilariously escapes her wedding, leaps blindly into Elias’ limo, and our bewildering meeting between our leads begin.

What follows is a heartfelt burgeoning connection between two souls on a path of self-discovery. Quinley wants to find herself, to forge her own path and person; and Elias wants to find his voice, revealing a dream he hopes to build upon one day. Quinley and Elias knock each others’ walls down and peel each other layers’ back, and I so very much adored seeing their bond take root.

I loved how Quinley got Elias to open up, and when he did-- how she listened. Something his own family, who he greatly loves, fell short in doing.
Quinley may be figuring herself out, but she had no problem is figuring Elias out. In listening to his story, his dreams, and encouraging him every step of the way. Elias may have reservations to Quinley’s actions on her wedding day, but he slowly but surely comes to understand why she chose to run as she did. And he believes in her as much as she does in him.

They go from strangers to friends to lovers, and, for the most part, it's perfectly paced. I loved how the story didn't just rely on physical connection and attraction, in fact I'd say the emotional attachment was its main story. That said, I would have loved to see them spend more time together once the line was crossed into that something more. To see more on-page romancing.
Nevertheless, my enjoyment was never once deterred. I rooted so hard for Quinley and Elias!

I had a very lovely time reading this one. If you’re in the mood for runaway bride shenanigans, grumpy, gorgeous men, and making one’s own dreams come true, be sure to pick up The Getaway Guy!
