Release Day Review: 5 Stars for Dotted Lines (Runaway Series #5) by Devney Perry

 

Dotted Lines by Devney Perry is now live!

Clara Saint-James is completing a journey started by an old friend. She'll return a Cadillac to California, a place she's avoided for more than a decade. But it's time for closure and to put old ghosts to rest. And it's time to find out if the feelings she's cherished for the boy from her past are just fanciful memories--or if there's a chance they are real.

Timing was never on her side, especially when it came to Karson Avery. The two of them lived in a junkyard as runaway teens, and though she wanted more than his friendship, he always belonged to another--until that one night when he was hers.

When Clara finds Karson living in a small, coastal town, she's not surprised the beautiful boy from her past grew into a stunning man. His smile is as captivating as ever. His eyes have the same roguish glint. But timing is still working against her.

Clara must decide how far she's willing to go to battle for Karson's heart. Or if it's time to let him go and surrender to the dotted lines that have always kept them apart.

What I thought about Dotted Lines

I've really enjoyed this road-trip series from Devney Perry and was super excited to read the final installment.  Karson has been mentioned so many times it was time to meet him.  Clara is headed to Cali to drop off the car that's been the centerpiece of this series and she's nervous.  There's clearly something between Clara and Karson from the start of the book, it just takes some time for their story to be revealed in Dotted Lines.

The story returns to the junkyard where the group once lived, and the first half of the book takes the reader back to that time when Karson, Clara and her sister were the remaining occupants of the junkyard.  I loved seeing this view of them back then and I thought Devney Perry did an excellent job of making me feel just what that experience might be like. There are many forces at work against them while they lived at the junkyard, and the story captures their determination and the stress that came with living there.

Dotted Lines is as much Karson's story as it is Clara's.  When Clara arrives in Cali, she's ecstatic to find Karson, but Karson's current circumstances mean that while this is a happy and welcome reunion, it isn't exactly what Clara was hoping for.  It's a trip to the junkyard that helps put their lives in perspective and provides the impetus for Karson and Clara to find their HEA. I loved getting a little more about Lou, too.

I thought this was a terrific ending to a wonderful series. Karson and Clara's undying love for each other was a lovely way to bring it to conclusion.
