“He makes me feel so good and so alive that it scares me. If Matias, my husband, could almost destroy me, what could Tank do to me?”
Fall in love. Give your heart to someone. Be betrayed and get hurt. They both been there and done that. But in different ways.
She was betrayed by her father, sister, and the man she loved. Katherine learned early from her father, the meaning of violence. And after having her Prince Charming fantasies shattered by her husband, escape is all that remains for her to abandon this life of intrigue and decay. She takes on a new identity and revenge becomes her motive for living.
Lucas was betrayed by the one who said that loved him and disinherited by his family. His name and his belief in love are in the past. All that remains to Tank now are Battle Born MC’s brothers and the road. Until his way crossed with a beautiful tattooed girl in Las Vegas, with whom he spent the night, but did not wake up with him the next day. And that never left his head.
The book goes back to the past and weaves the story of Tank and Kat with the previous books. It is touching and frighteningly exciting. It’s the kind of book I liked so much that it left me speechless, not knowing what to say. The turnaround was not unexpected, even with the hint the author gave during the narrative. But still, it was a Cliffhanger that left me jaw-dropping, questioning, and crazy about the next book.
*ARC provided in exchange for an honest Review *
You need to read this book! It’s a bit dark but so worth it. If you’ve read the series you’ve met Kat and Tank already, but this story let’s you experience their lives before they met and when they find each other. I loved this book and CAN NOT wait for the conclusion.
This is the fifth book in the Battle Born MC series, and for any of this story to make sense you need to read the previous books. We have watched Kat and Tank in the previous books, we know that Kat is the Black Widow, we just don’t really know how she came to be the Black Widow. This story gives us the both Kat and Tank’s back stories. We learn what lead Kat to turn into the cold killer that she is. We see just how much Tank is into Kat and how Kat got under his skin. But is Kat too damaged to be trusting? Will Tank prove to be worth trusting or is he just like all the others?
Wow! This had so much going on, I am still trying to process it all. Kat’s story really is heart breaking, and once you read it, it has you rooting for her to get her revenge and maybe a bit of HEA like all the rest of the girls. This story takes us through the years so to speak, so we get Tank or Kat’s POV for some of the stuff that happened in previous stories, but this is no way shape or means a recap! With loads of action, danger, drama, violence, betrayal… there is so much more, this was a very entertaining read. I am ready for the next cuz I need to see how this all comes together! I give this 5 stars.
I’m freaking speechless right now! Seriously? I can’t believe it, I’m still shocked and I really don’t know what to say but holy cow this book is freaking good! Phenomenal read!
I have been a true fan of this series from the very beginning and I have been bursting at the seams waiting for Tank and Kat’s story. Needless to say, I was NOT disappointed! Tank’s background is heartbreaking and made perfect sense when it comes to understanding Tank’s personality and the way he carries himself with fierce loyalty for those he loves. Kat’s story…I knew it would be rough, but I was not expecting it to be as rough as it was. The author portrayed Kat’s life as a Cartel Queen in great form and depth. The men of Battle Born are all fierce warriors and protectors and lovers, but they’re definitely intimidated by Kat so, of course, who else could handle her but the Big T. Be advised that this book does end in a cliffhanger because the author felt that she could not do Kat and Tank justice by telling their story in only one book. I completely agree! Their love story is epic and it’s definitely worth overlooking the short wait until the next book.
Epic star to an epic love story. Tank and Kat have been two of my favorite characters sine the beginning of this series. I loved going back in time to find out why they are the way they are. Can’t wait for part two of this story about to souls who couldn’t be more perfect for each other! #Teambuilding at its finest!!
Kat has really been a mystery since the beginning and we have finally learned so much about her in this book. She’s absolutely even more bada$$ than I originally thought. She’s a fierce fighter who in reality actually does have a heart. She’s a fierce mama bear and a deep lover. Tank really brings out the soft side of her that no one know exists and we find out why she has locked it away in the first place which is a horrible past. Tank is such a great guy and it was sad learning about his family practically dumping him but he found a better family where he belongs. Him and Kat are really fighting for their chance at love in this book and they go through some crazy stuff together. The cliffhanger absolutely kills you but still gives you hope! Scarlett really brought out another dark side in this Battleborn book which leaves you turning the pages faster and faster.
Scarlett Black did a great job on Escaping From Forever, the plot was written well with many emotions, it’ll take you on an rollercoaster. This was a strong start to Tank and Kat’s story. Life hasn’t been easy but these two are fighters. Their journey had many ups and downs. This was a great story, I’m looking forward to reading more.
Thank you, Scarlett Black. Great work 🙂
Oh I hate always saying this is the best one yet but oh man… this was the best one yet. I did a re-read of the entire series before sinking my soul into this one but I found it wasn’t necessary as we are reminded of the key events in Tank and Kat’s story. This one kept me page turning and riveted and the conclusion [until the final part] had me in an emotional spiral. I am so looking forward to part 2. Do not miss this book, it was everything. Thank you Scarlett Black, you delivered yet again. xoxo
From the moment I started reading, I have been in awe. Tank and Kat’s story is completely soul worthy. Yes, these characters will touch your heart with how realistic they are but in reality when you’re done with Part 1 you will feel them in your soul. You cannot help but fall in love with not one but both main characters. Tank and Kat are as real as they come, their chemistry is off the charts, and their loyalty is what people are missing in today’s society.
Scarlett Black has outdone herself in her 5th book in the Battle Born MC series. Absolutely loved it!!! A must read 10 stars that will keep you on the edge of your seat anticipating the next book.
Are you Battle Born?? Are you ready for an unforgettable ride?? Then pick this baby up today!!! I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!
Escaping From Forever is book 5 in the amazing Battle Born MC series written by the talented and awesome Scarlett Black. I was waiting patiently for this book, this is Kat and Tank’s story. Well I’m actually speechless, Scarlett just blew me away with this amazing story. I still don’t know if I hate you because normally I don’t like cliffhangers, but Scarlett you left me like NO FREAKING WAY I need more. The story line is very well written, outstanding, dark, heartbreaking and beautiful with so much love. I truly love this series. Thanks Scarlett for writing such amazing characters!! Can’t wait for more!!!
This is the one that I have been waiting to read. This is the one that got me wanting to read the series. This one is about Tank and Kat. This one takes you on their journey of how they met. I absolutely love these two. Tank is a freaking treat. In every single book he is the one that has me laughing. He is just out there with what he says and does. But other times he is serious and that is when he is around Kat. These two bring out the best in each other. There is something between them that just cant be explained. I wanted to throw my kindle at the end of this one as it does leave me hanging. Scarlett breaks my heart with the end of this one. But throughout the whole book I was gripped by their story and what happens to get them where they are today. A great book from beginning to end. A great addition to this series. I cant wait to read more from these characters and this series.
Scarlette doesn’t disappoint in her newest release. Kat, aka “The Black Widow” is one of my favorite heroines. She is strong, loyal, loving and bad ass all wrapped in a small package. Fun loving Tank is the perfect combination of alpha and teddy bear to make you fall in love with him.
I can’t wait to see how part 2 plays out.
I didn’t think I would Love another book (boyfriend) more than Pawn but Scarlett did it again with Tank!! OMG!! Amazingly written by our Queen of Battle Born. All I can say is BUY THIS BOOK!!!
Book 1 of 2 for Tank and Kat’s story. Kat has truly dealt with the ultimate betrayals before joining with Battle Born. To protect the most important thing, she escapes and takes on a new identity, becoming a hitwoman later. Tank is a wrench in her plans, but turns out to be wonderful for both of them. There is a cliffhanger ending! Love this series!
Tank comes from a wealthy family that disowned him for being a mc member. He swears no woman will get to him like his ex did with her lies and betrayal. Kat (Katherine) is the daughter of another mc president. He used Kat to make an alliance with the cartel by marrying her to a cartel son. Kat had a brutal life with her husband Matias. She escapes him and becomes the Black Widow, a hired assassin and takes on jobs. Tank meets Kat at a bar and what was supposed to be a one night stand ends up turning into more. The couple have so many issues and Kat’s past has made her unable to trust anyone. I wanted to cry at the pain Kat had to go through in her younger years. A cliffhanger ending makes me want to scream but the next book is coming soon. A brilliant story and series that I have enjoyed reading.
I received a copy of this book and am leaving a review.
Omg I totally loved this book. Tank and Kat’s story totally blew me out of the water. I truly think that this was Scarlett’s best book. Great job and I totally can’t wait to read more. Thank you for helping me get lost in one of your wonderful book world’s with such wonderful characters.
I had been waiting for Kat and Tank’s story for a long time and the author didn’t disappoint at all with this story !! It’s hot, heartbreaking, funny and so much more !! From chapter 1 to the end, I wasn’t able to stop my reading !! The story is so hypnotizing, that you really want to know what’s going to happen in each chapter !! until you arrived at the end of the book to realise that you need more of this story !!
I am a big fan of Ms. Black’s work and I Love the Battle Born series but I am Absolutely Speechless on how to write this review. I knew from prior books in the series that Tank and Kat’s story was going to be something but I didn’t expect it to be so heartfelt and a complete page turner. The author has written a storyline that broke my heart, built me back up, and left me devastated and hanging on by an emotional thread at the end, because of course their story would be so intense it had to end on a cliffhanger leaving me reeling. Kudos Ms Black for an outstanding job and a simply amazing read.
Tank and Kat are two broken souls. Kat has lived an emotional nightmare at the hands of her father and husband for years. Escaping and becoming the Black Widow by night, she spends her days plotting her revenge. She lives in the shadows with her one bright spot the memory of a night she spend with a stranger she only knows as a biker named Tank. As for Tank he too has had his heart and soul broken. He has found a life with his brothers in the Battle Born MC. His only regret in his new found life, is not getting the name of the woman who rocked his world during a one night hookup, a woman he calls Kitty Kat in his dreams.
But what happens when the MC needs the help of “The Black Widow” and Kat steps into Tanks world? I don’t do spoilers so I simply can’t go on. But I will say this is an awesome read in an absolutely amazing series. While I suppose it’s not necessary to read the other books in the series first I Highly Suggest you do so. It will make the book so much better knowing the characters and events that are in play to this point.
2 Thumbs Up and 5 Resounding Stars for Escaping from Forever and even though I want to bob the author for leaving me in pieces like this, I can’t wait to read the conclusion of this wonderful story. It’s a total must read in a must read series.
