I am a big fan of Krista Lakes. This book was wonderfully written. You will absolutely love it. I read it in a day. I just didn’t want to put it down. If you have ever read any of Krista’s books you know that they all end in HEA’s, and this one is no different. If you haven’t read any I strongly recommend that you read this one. You will not be disappointed, and you will fall in love with the main characters just as I have.
I would like to say that it was really good reading a book that isnt filled with only sex in each chapter and actually had a storyline to it…loved all the characters in the book and i even felt a little bit sorry for poor desperate Lorna the villian and bad girl in this entertaining book.
What i mostly loved is that the characters were mature and in their forties because you eventually get sick and tired of reading about women in their early 20s and an older man that is as old as her father hooking up…dont get me wrong i dont mind reading the books but it just gets a bit old and stagnant…..
This book is about a billionaire that has walked away from all his money to work as a bartender and a woman that has dedicated her life to her work as she has nothing else to look forward to..
I really enjoyed and recommend this book.

Escape with Me: A Midlife story is book 1 in the Love with Me series by Krista Lakes and. great start to another new series!,
They say life begins at 40…maybe for some but not for Cassie…she needs to find more…maybe a fling on a tropical island at her friends wedding. When she meet the sexy bartender, Wyatt she knows this is what she needs but as they spend time together it’s turning into more than a fling…but Wyatt has secrets he hasn’t told her about….
Lost billionaire, hiding out, different lifestyles, older couple and maybe finding love….
This was a sweet and endearing read. Cassie is a divorced 40 year old woman looking for something different and unpredictable. Wyatt is a lost billionaire trying to lay low. When they find one another it is sweet and they have so much they could offer the other. Wyatt’s secrets however, may make a huge difference in how far their relationship will go and how long it will last. Sweet with steamy parts to make you tingle.

This is book one in the Love with Me series. Cassie has hit a rut in life. She is forty years old, divorced, finds her job less than satisfying and she has her friend’s destination wedding to attend. She decides she is going to enjoy make this trip and turn it into a dream vacation, maybe even have a little fling. What Cassie does not plan for is meeting Wyatt, the bartender that makes her heart race. Wyatt is the bartender on a tropical island surrounded by beautiful women that come and go, some looking for a night of fun. What more does a guy need? Until he meets Cassie and his one night thoughts turn into long term possibilities. Can these two get a second chance at love? Both Cassie and Wyatt have a past but will it stop them from a future? A great story with characters that had a realistic feel. HEA is not always a smooth journey but that is what makes for an enjoyable read. Enjoy!

This is a fantastic story. It had great characters, both good and bad. It had a fantastic meeting of the differences, between the workaholic and the billionaire.
Cassidy, Cassie to her friends, is attending a destination wedding in the beautiful Caribean. One of her best friends is marrying her old high school sweetheart since they have become reunited. Cassie has worked her way up to the manager of a 4-star hotel in Phoneix. The hotel is part of a major chain and does everything by the book. They have scripts for what they should say when they should say it and rules for everything. After a painful marriage and divorce, forty-something Cassie does everything by the book. This wedding is a time for her to break free. Her friend Brianna makes sure that she has a new fun wardrobe for the trip. When waiting to check-in, she notices a hot looking guy checking her out. She sees him again at the Tiki Bar. He is the bartender. They flirt back and forth the whole night and he makes sure she gets back to her room okay. She sees him the next day for lunch and they really click. The more time they spend together, the better it seems. When he asks her to stay on the island with him, that he could take care of her, she turns him down. She tells him that she has a life back in Phonix and that he should come with her.
Wyatt has really enjoyed just being a bartender at a resort in the Caribean. No pressure, people can take him as he is or not. If someone likes him, it is because they like him, not his money. When he sees Cassie, he falls. He really enjoys his time talking with her and spending time with her. When other women hit on him, he turns them down. There is one gold-digger in the wedding party that keeps hitting on him, even though he is just a lowly bartender and he keeps turning her down. He asks Cassie to stay there with him, he can’t see going on without her in his life. When she asks him to go with her, he tells her he can’t. She just doesn’t understand, but he hasn’t told her who he really is. When he shows up to tell her who he really is, she has already left. So he calls his assistant and books the penthouse in Cassie’s hotel. His showing up there throws a whole bunch of problems for the two of them.

I loved everything about this book. Cassie and Wyatt’s story was believable and held my interest throughout. I loved that the characters seemed real instead of too perfect like many romance novels. They were relatable. All the characters were great (except Lorna, but we’re supposed to hate her). There wasn’t one spot in this book I felt like skimming to get to a better part, it was all interesting and entertaining enough to read every single word. Cassie and Wyatt both had normal human insecurities and that’s why I loved them both separately and together. This one is worth reading, well done Krista Lakes!

I really don’t know what to say. This book has left me at a distinct loss for words. I love that we get to read about a main couple that are past the first blush of youth. Both Cassidy and Wyatt are carrying some baggage, so they’re on a pretty even playing field that way. I adore the way Wyatt worships her natural beauty and how he goes out of his way to show her she’s the only one he wants. I like that Cassie is low on the jealous scale, but I appreciate that we get to see a bit of her green-eyed monster because that makes the story feel even more realistic. The one thing that was the tiniest bit crazy-making to me about this book, is that I feel like there’s a story that happened before this one that I’m missing; I just don’t know what one it is. I want to know more about our bride and groom and what brought them to have this wedding for Cassie and Wyatt to meet.
