Away With You by Belinda Mary: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 

The Book

She’s grieving. He’s heartbroken. Neither expected a second chance.

Katie Winslow has kept to herself since her mother’s death, trading social outings for solitude and science. She’s not looking for love, or anything remotely close to it.

Nathan Jackson crashes back into her life.

Once her high school classmate, now a world-famous Formula 1 driver with a broken heart and a family mess on his hands, Nathan has to survive one week at his brother’s lavish destination wedding in St. Lucia. His solution? Fake a relationship. His fake girlfriend? Katie.

One villa. One bed. Seven days of sun, secrets, and stolen glances that feel dangerously real.

But between disapproving relatives, a jealous ex, and scars from the past, pretending gets complicated, and falling in love was never part of the plan.

Can two people who’ve lost everything learn to trust again, before they lose each other?

The Author

Belinda Mary is a long-time lover of all the books and has dreamed of being a writer her whole life.

And when she is not looking after her two kids, her husband of eleven years and her crazy spoodle, she can be found on the couch reading, watching all things Bravo TV, or listening to true crime podcasts.

Belinda writes the kind of stories that she loves to read; filled with laughs, longing and love.

Book Review

When I read the first book in this series, I was absolutely drawn into this world of F1 racing and couldn't wait to dive back in... this time with a character who we met briefly in book one and whose public heartbreak was quite memorable--- with his longtime girlfriend breaking up with him and hooking up with his brother! Yikes! That little glimpse certainly had me hoping for him to get a happily ever after and I was thrilled to see his story would be next... and it absolutely did not disappoint. Right from their awkward reintroduction, I found myself rooting for Katie and Nathan. They had only been acquainted briefly in school, but their connection picked up instantly upon their chance meeting... as did his teenage crush, making her the perfect choice when he needed a fake girlfriend to take to his brother's wedding to his ex... but there was absolutely nothing fake about the chemistry between these two. Their story takes us from Christmas in London to New Year's in St. Lucia with the perfect blend of family drama, swoon worthy romance and healing... and I loved every single moment! I cannot wait to see what is going to happen next! 

Away With You is a closed-door romance with implied intimacy and minor language. It is the second book in the Beyond the Grid series. While previous characters to make an appearance, I do think this could be enjoyed as a standalone as well.
