It’s time for Sawyer to start living her life. Since she was fifteen she has taken care of everyone but herself, including her older brother Dane. She has been lying to herself to keep from feeling the pain of her parent’s death. Now she is twenty and she’s ready to start a life of her own. Moving into her parent’s lake house would be the perfect escape. Wouldn’t it? That’s what she thought. Only, it led her right into the emotional place she’s been hiding from all this time. All of those years of running from her feelings, she now has to face them. It’s too much. She can’t deal with it alone. Someone has to help. She’ll do anything to escape the heartbreak, but you can only run so far.
Travis can’t believe his eyes; his half-opened, blood shot eyes. Sawyer Evans was in the flesh and standing over him. He hadn’t seen this girl since he was ten years old. Travis only saw the Evan’s during the summer when they moved into the lake house. He and Dane were best friends. When Dane invited him and the old gang to a welcome back party at the Lake House, he couldn’t wait to go. It turns out getting wasted was only half the fun. Seeing Sawyer was the other half. She was the sexiest girl he’d ever seen and he was going to make sure that she knew it. Only she shot him down time and time again. He’s determined to break down those walls and get inside her head, but he’ll have to be sober to do it, and no matter how hard he tries, she’ll always run. He can’t keep chasing her. He has to figure out a way to make her stay.
It’s time to stop running, stop hiding, and start learning where the true escape lies. Everyone will face heartbreak, but not everyone will find love.

My review!
This was one of those books that I didn't want to put down. I found myself getting wrapped up in Sawyer and Travis and I couldn't wait to see where the journey was going to take them.It's a sweet and wonderful love story, but there is so much more to it. There is a deeper story about loss, family, pain and heartache. I think it's also about moving forward. And while we don't forget the past, we can learn and grow from it.
I give Escaping Heartbreak 4.5 stars!
I'm very much looking forward to more from Regina Bartley, especially when she tells Dane and Wren's story. Oh, and I've also learned that Waylon will get to tell his story too, which is even more exciting to me because he is a character that I immediately fell in love with and I know he has so much to say. Read Escaping Heartbreak so you can meet Waylon yourself and see exactly what I mean. I just know you're going to love him too.
