Parris:

I spent a lifetime in Umberland one weekend. That's what it's like in small towns, and also why I don't come back too often. I never felt I fit in, until I left. Life as an international photographer suits me a lot better than life in this sleepy little town. But I promised to stay a few weeks to appease my mom. Things take a turn for the worse when I accidentally hit an off-leash dog, but when we get to the vet, I find out this dog's owner is a hot mechanic. While I'm stuck here, I figure I'll get to know him -- wink wink -- to stave off the inevitable boredom.

Once he forgives me, things with Caleb move fast. He's tougher to let go of than I dreamed anyone or anything could be. But I'm here for a good time, not a long time. And it's time for me to fly.

How come it doesn't feel so good to run off and escape my hometown? Why do I miss him so much? And how is Umberland feeling less like a jail, and more like... my home?

Caleb:

Umberland is my life. I'm a good son. I take care of my mom--she and her therapy dog need me. So when some playboy hotshot hits Mom's dog with his car, I'm ready to blow. But then he turns out to be really kind, and... really s*xy. He makes me feel things I haven't felt in, maybe, ever. We get close. And I start to dream of more.

But like I said, I'm a good son. I'm the only one who can take care of mom, so I won't get involved with a player. But she likes Parris. And when she starts to push me out of the nest, it hurts to realize that I might be the one holding myself back.

Running Off is the fifth book in the Rainier Family series and can be read on its own. 55k words of heart-warming, star-crossed, meant-to-be love, growing up and out, busybody Rainiers, and a whole big, bustling, small-town family waiting for its HEA.

    Learning to find, share and enjoy that perfect moment. A moment in time while they dance or a picnic overlooking the city these guys have a journey to finding their perfect moments. I really liked both MC's and i enjoyed how each man grew as their relationship developed. The writing flowed beautifully, and the timing and story-line was engaging and kept me reading way to late.

    Parris and Caleb are so special together, their hearts have a similar rhythm. Neither man was perfect, in fact they both had real flaws, but they learned to trust and love each other. Their chemistry was intense and their connection was fun to watch. i so loved the many special moments in this story, but i especially enjoyed the epilogue!!

    This is the fifth book in The Rainier Family series and can be read as a stand-alone. I really enjoyed seeing MC's from the previous books in this one, but their relationships are explained, so it would not be confusing. However, i do recommend each of the previous books, i am a fan of this series.

    i loved the advise that Parris's dad gave him:
    'You need to plan your life... where do you see yourself? Don't rush into it. Think about it. Decide what you want outta life and go for it. The rest will fall into place.'

    I was gifted this book from the LesCourt Author Services and i freely give my honest opinion and review.

    I liked this story. Parris and Caleb are interesting characters that both need to change their view on life and on each other's lives.

    Caleb puts his mom's well being before his own happiness. He has dreams, but puts them on hold so he can be home and take care of her. Parris uses travel as a means to not face his family or his life. He needs too take time to make connections and once he does, his life will never be the same.

    I liked the guys, but I wanted to slap some sense into both of them. They are both stubborn and think they know better. You read some of their interactions and want to tell them that they are being morons. Luckily these two learn to open themselves up and actually listen to each other.

    Learn to be in the moment. This was an angsty romance!

    This is the first book of Ashton’s I’ve read and it is so easy to read, with great character development and so much angst and a little frustration! This story was a hookup turned angst-filled, real-life challenged relationship. I like that Caleb made Parris see things differently and want to change his ‘man-whoring’ ways. I loved Caleb’s kindness, care and of course his love and care for is mum. Caleb is somewhat ‘stuck’ in Umberland and he’s fine with that until he meets and falls for Parris.

    The back and forth of their relationship and how Caleb insisted Parris would be ‘settling’ if he stayed in Umberland or they’d only ever have a long distance relationship was so frustrating. Why couldn’t Parris keep traveling as a photographer and have a home base with Caleb in Umberland? From the story his assignments only seemed to go for a week or two, then he could go ‘home’ before the next assignment. Argh, the frustration!

    Once they were each ready to believe the other and take a chance, they thankfully quit the angst and frustration and accepted that they loved each other and the story ends with a wonderful happily ever after! An enjoyable read from Umberland with a unique family!

    Thanks for reading!

    5.0 out of 5 stars An accidental love affair
    Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2019
    It’s an accident (literally!) that Caleb and Parris even meet. But that changes everything. The twists and turns as they navigate a relationship are fascinating, sad, funny and sexy.

    This book is the fifth in a series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but I read the first four. They are all good but this one is my favorite. This book seems to delve a little deeper into the motivation and struggles of the characters. I can totally understand why Parris wants to travel the world, and I can totally understand Caleb’s devotion to his mother. I wasn’t sure if they would work things out, or how they would settle things if they did get together. Caleb in particular struggles with recognizing that he has worth and that all relationships involve risk. The other characters, the parents and other family members, are also fun and multi-dimensional. I knew some of them well through the first four books. Umberland may be a small town but it has a lot going on. A very fun place to visit!

    Good story. Solid. I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to though. Probably all that back and forth.
    It's a sweet, loving story and lots of ppl will appreciate it more than I did, for sure. Gotta love that we're all different people ^^

    5.0 out of 5 stars Traveler & mechanic... together like water & oil
    Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2019
    I adore this series!! I just eat it up everytime I can get the newest installment in the series.
    I always wonder how much further this series can go, then I slap myself hoping for many many more in this series.

    This one is about a Prodigal son named Parris who left town as soon as he could knowing he needed to be anywhere else in the world but the tiny town he grew up in.
    Caleb is the local mechanic who likes his life, but dreams of more, knowing though he can’t leave his mom who has MS by herself.
    When Parris has to come into town for a family members wedding he hooks up with Caleb... the sparks fly instantly.

    This book had you hoping for the best & wishing you could slap the pair into knowing they needed each other to complete their lives. I can’t wait for the next book... I’m an addict

    I quite enjoyed Caleb and Parris' story.

    I loved Parris. He didn't make excuses for who he is, and he just started to grow as the book goes along. It was really interesting to follow his journey, especially when he realises who he wants to be, with or without someone in his life.

    I liked Caleb, but he enjoyed annoying me. I really wanted to shake him at times and make him realise what a great chance he had and not to through it away.

    It broke my heart a little at times, but it was lovely all the same.

    Really enjoyed it

    Great book, just makes me fed up when the attention to detail isn't there.
    In this book twice, and in the one before in the series Sawyer has been referred to as Slater.
    That just irritates me.
    Otherwise enjoyable read.
