3.75 stars:  RUNAWAY is the second instalment in Sandy James’s historical western, romance Safe Havens series focusing on a group of friends and family in Montana.  This is Cassie Shay and Ty Bishop’s story –one that advances the series approximately four years.The premise follows Cassie as she uncovers a plot to murder Ty and his best friend Jake Curtis.  Jake is the son of Grace Morgan and has been invited to meet his extended Shay family on the west coast. When Jake and Ty encounter a life or death situation, it will be a young twenty year old woman-Cassie Shay-who rescues the pair from their untimely demise.  Cassie is a woman on the run but Ty will ensure that the only place she runs to will be to Montana –with him.Ty’s attraction to Cassie is immediate although they are from different backgrounds, different class and different education.  As they make their way across country, Ty begins to fall for the feisty Cassie Shay but getting his family and friends back home to accept her will be another problem-all together. Cassie comes from one of the most hated families and no one is willing to open their arms a woman whose family has threatened everyone they love.Sandy James pulls the reader into a romantic storyline about two people from different walks of life-Ty believes he is not worthy of Cassie’s love and affection and, Cassie believes that she has placed everyone in danger with her presence and connection to the Shay family.RUNAWAY is a story of heartbreak and betrayal; family and friends; love and letting go.  Many of the previous storyline characters play secondary roles as well as the introduction of the next story hero-Caleb Young.If you like a romantic storyline about a hard working cowboy and a strong willed heroine then RUNAWAY is the perfect read for a lazy afternoon.
