Sometimes it’s the unexpected detour that life throws your way that ends up taking you exactly where you were meant to be. Wyatt Bryant is all kinds of broken. Wyatt never planned to end up in the middle of nowhere. He was a big city guy, used to bright lights and constant noise. He needed both those things to distract him from the ugly memories of his past and the loneliness he couldn’t seem to … couldn’t seem to shake. Now, he is bound for the back roads of Wyoming because his younger brother is beyond worried about him. He’s headed for a quiet place to heal and search for some uninterrupted serenity to figure out what he’s going to do with the rest of his life. Wyatt never expected to live his life in the slow lane, and he really didn’t see the breathless attraction to a small-town sheriff coming.
Rodie Collins is all kinds of conflicted.
Rodie had long since grown used to the snail’s pace of life in Sheridan, Wyoming. He was accustomed to the gossip and malicious grapevine that was common in all small towns. Cruel words and judgmental looks followed him throughout his childhood and made him overly cautious as an adult. He had it easy keeping the peace in Sheridan most days, at least until Wyatt showed up. Rodie couldn’t hide his attraction to the sexy former special agent, and there was something about the city slicker that made him want to throw caution to the wind. Rodie loves his job and his hometown, but he may have to pick between what he’s always known and Wyatt when push comes to shove and long-held secrets come to light.

Wow Jay you did it again. This book has is all. Love , fight and bravery. I loved reading this book. Getting back into the Getaway series!! I you love to read about people to stick together threw thick and then and stand up for who they are you will love reading Detour. Thank you Jay for an amazing read!!
This was a great way to end this series. It all came together wonderfully. I definitely recommend this book, this series, and this author.
What a lovely end to a thrilling series, we followed Webb and Wyatt Bryant through their ups and downs, their trials and tribulations.
I loved that Wyatt got his HEA, he thoroughly deserved it, he had been through the ringer whilst doing the last couple of large investigations, enduring very unsafe situations.
Even though he was behaving like a petulant child, he managed to keep himself together while he healed and recovered.
Not forgetting the larger than life Rodie Collins, the Sheriff of the town Webb and Wyatt had decided to put roots down.
We got a full blown love story, not quite friends / enemies to lovers but they had their issues.
They were both Aplha male guys but were deeply compassionate, they loved helping people, even if they people didn’t think they needed help, very similar to each other.
Rodie had not had it easy, and had gone off to serve in the military earning great respect, that his commanding officer followed him back to the town he grew up in.
The hot Sheriff had kept his private life, private but when a lad from The Ranch needed help, Rodie dove straight in without hesitating, even if it caued a few eyebrows to raise with strong political figures, but with Wyatt’s help he was able to rise above the bigotry.
A feel good story, of two hot smoking guys working together to overcome what live threw at them, to bringing joy to others lives.
Really enjoyed reading Wyatt and Rodie’s story.
Omg I’ve been dying to read Wyatt & Rodie’s story and all I have too say is that I wasn’t disappointed at all. The chemistry between them are off the charts. Once you start reading their story you will not want too stop. Another amazing 5 star read that I couldn’t put down.
Another great getaway to the ranch. Roadie and Wyatt we’ve been hearing about these two to since book one but finally there time has come. Loved this two together so much. Smart, rugged and a little banged up but totally swoon worthy.
This book was bittersweet for me. On one hand it was a great story! But the down side is that is was the last of a series I have loved from page 1 of book 1. (All books are interconnected standalones) But I couldn’t have asked for a better ending. Wyatt and Rodie are both great men with inspiring stories to tell. Their struggles both alone and to be together are so relevant to these times. And I love that we got to see and get updated on all the previous characters.
Rodie and Wyatt made my heart sigh. There were so many touching moments between these two tough men that it’s hard to pick a favorite but their story was my absolute favorite in the series. It was a beautiful thing to see their happily ever after and not only them but you got to see a wrap up with young Ethan and Cam and a little glimpse into Opal and Micky. I may not always be able to read Jay Crownover’s books on release day but they are definitely worth the pre-order/one-click every single time.
Loved this last book in the Getaway series!
Sheriff Rodie Collins and Wyatt Bryant are featured in this one and it was well worth the wait!
Loved revisiting my favorite characters from the previous books too, that’s always awesome for me as a reader.
Definitely recommend, I’m a big Jay Crownover fan!
This book was great! I loved the dynamic between Rodie and Wyatt. This book touches on some of today’s relevant topics (homophobia, bullying) and addresses them beautifully. How everything played out seemed very true to life. Though this may be the end of the Getaway series, Crownover always leaves that door open just a crack, just enough to make you wonder if more stories could possibly spring forth. I’m looking forward to finding out!
Great conclusion to the Getaway series. Detour is the story of Sheriff Rodie Collins and former Special Agent Wyatt Bryant. While M/M romance is not my preferred genre, Jay Crownover does an excellent job luring you in with a finely written storyline. We get to revisit the entire Warner family as well as a few additional extensions that help wrap up all the loose ends!
Detour is the fifth and final book in the Getaway series, one that I’m sad to see ending.
I absolutely adored both Rodie and Wyatt. They are both great characters and such good men who would do anything to protect those they loved and who were important to them. Having both been injured while serving, Rodie in the military and Wyatt in law enforcement, they understood on a deeper level the scars and injuries that remained once the healing was done. They were both stubborn and proud men made better by the other.
Cam played a big role in a portion of this story and I was so happy to see how strong and confident he had become. The entire Warner family had his back. We learned in the earlier books that their family isn’t afraid to stand up for what is right, and it’s something that they all do standing together.
Family, love and acceptance are major themes in this book. There’s a happy ending that wraps the series up nicely.

I have been waiting for Wyatt and Rodie’s book in the Getaway series and the city boy and Sheriff did not disappoint!
Wyatt Bryant is still recovering from significant injuries after a dangerous event that involved his family and has now sidelined him from his DEA agent career. He is now on an unexpected detour from his life and moving to Sheridan temporarily to stay near his brother, Wyatt on the Warner Ranch. He is frustrated, stubborn, prideful, and resistant to help. He hates his new limitations and is struggling to find his new purpose. He is gay and not afraid to be who he is, although has also had to keep it under wraps due to his job.
Rodie Collins is also ex-military and now the town Sheriff. He is cold, distant, grumpy, and very private about his preferences. He has a certain image to protect and tries to just do his job and keep to himself.
Wyatt and Rodie have challenged and antagonized each other before and get under each other’s skin. And now it seems like Rodie is starting to make his wants known, much to Wyatt’s complete surprise. These two men are tough, rugged, intelligent, and caring. Together they are passionate and hot, but also vulnerable and full of need. They make each other finally feel alive. They have a lot in common. But they are also in different places so kind of living day by day. Wyatt is not sure where he will go or what he will do after recovery. And Rodie’s job and situation make coming out to his conservative constituents difficult.
There are other side stories and antagonists making waves in the community and pushing agendas on them. Rodie seems to be in the middle of all of the factions and making enemies. Sometimes it is hard to choose between self-preservation and standing up for what is right. This story is about hope, companionship, family, and not being afraid to be who you are.
It brings back the Warners and friends. I enjoyed being back in this world and loved getting more closure for all the characters. I found the storyline about Cam to be very current and important.
