Erica – ☆☆☆☆
4.5 Stars

Wright That Got Away is the eleventh installment in the Wright series, as well as the fourth installment of the Wright Vineyard series, which the series title explains how it is connected yet differentiates from the main series as a whole.

Can the novel be read as a standalone with little to no confusion? Most definitely, as a contemporary romance, the focus is on the two main characters. Can it be read out of series order? Also, true. But the real question is should you read it as a standalone or out of series order? No.

Frankly, if you plan on going back and reading the predecessors, you're setting yourself up to spoil the previous plots, as it's all connected. The emotional payoff would also be greater, as you'd develop a connection to the characters, the side characters in this novel were previous main narrators, and so forth.

Linde sets up a delicious contemporary romance featuring a second-chance romance between a pair of high school sweethearts. The heroine of the tale, Blaire, had her heart broken when Campbell left her behind for the bright lights of LA, seeking fame and to pave his own path. Fast-forward almost a decade later, you have the setup for an angsty romance, featuring a woman who is trying very hard to close off her heart after the feeling of betrayal and heartbreak, and a musician who has returned to his muse now that he has obtained his goal of stardom.

Of course, this is Linde, so there is most certainly an obstacle trying to drive a wedge between Blaire and Campbell as they work to rebuild their friendship and romance. Contemporary romance needs some drama and angst to make it feel as if the couple has worked to earn their happily ever after.

For most women, I believe Blaire will be easy to identify with, experiencing the emotional rollercoaster ride she takes the readers on. Kind and compassionate, Blaire gives the feels.

At the same time, Campbell also resonated with me, since he should reach for his dreams, especially at such a young age. Romance shouldn't be the end-all be-all in life.

I was rooting for Blaire and Campbell the entire time, enjoying the byplay of their interactions, the steamy smexy time, and the realistic connection.

Many cameos by past favorites are on the pages as we revisit small town Lubbock, Texas, and the addictive Wright family. I definitely look forward to more. Highly recommend to fans of the author and contemporary romance.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the eleventh book in the Wright series, but possibly more importantly, the fourth in the Vineyard series. If you are completely up-to-date, then like me, you will have been keenly anticipating this next pairing. If you have never read one before, then I would genuinely recommend you at least read the Vineyard series, so you have a better understanding of the dynamics in play.

Campbell left straight after high school to try and make his mark in the music business. He did succeed, and now is a big star. His best known hit is about Blaire, his high school sweetheart he left behind. Now, eight years later, he is back for a visit and wants to spend time with the one who he's been comparing every woman to since. His closeness to the family means that he is almost impossible to ignore, but Blaire is desperate to protect herself. She only just survived, and now has control of her life again, so really needs to take care of herself.

What is so clever, is that it is impossible not to like them both and completely empathise with their points of view. The author gives us just enough insight into their thoughts, and their conversations with their closest friends. It is hugely engaging and entertaining – with some moving and difficult elements twisting what seems like an obvious happily ever after. I love that we can believe we know a situation's turn and yet another factor becomes an issue. The way that the leads deal with such issues gives us the true indication of their feelings for each other.

I was really looking forward to their story, and it was complex, intense, and incredibly passionate – perfection!
