Runaway Train is back! Jake, AJ and Rhys had their books, now it's Brayden's turn.Brayden was the responsible, sweet, and level-headed member of the band. He was the only one married at the start of the series. While the three guys enjoyed the success and the groupies before finally finding the girls that changed their lifestyles, Brayden was loyal and so much in love with his wife, Lily. He was the voice of reason, the one who kept the guys in line. His marriage was the benchmark by which others aspired to emulate. After all, they were high school sweethearts that stood the tests and trials of a rockstar life.But how difficult were those trials that test their love? And how did they beat the odds? True love. The answer is true love.Written as part of a magazine interview, Brayden & Lily went on a trip down memory lane, from the time they met when they were sixteen years old to present. They had so much history together, had always been the perfect couple since the first book, that it was hard to imagine they were anything but sweet and devoted to each other. Young love that blossomed into an all-consuming love had survived the trials that came with any normal relationship, and the fame that came with Brayden's success and the people around them. It was no mean feat, but they did it all. And we get to read all they had gone through to be at the current stage in their lives. It was also nice to see how the band started. To see them as the struggling band at the beginning of their careers and not the world famous Runaway Train was humbling and inspiring. Then the book ended giving us a glimpse of how the Runaway Train family was doing at the present time, so far off from the manwhores they once were. Though these characters will be missed, I hope we still get to see them on the Jacob's Ladder series. This entire series has been a beautiful song to my heart, and what a precious way to wrap it up than to finally get the love story of Brayden and Lily. Katie revealed many things that we had not known before, making this series even richer. What was really amazing about this story, is that as the reader of this entire series, we know the ending, we know that Brayden and Lily have a happy marriage and 3 beautiful kids; but Katie was still about to make the journey fresh and engaging even though we knew our destination. There were moments in the flashbacks that I got that anxious, nervous feeling, concerned that our couple wouldn't survive, when in the back of my mind, I knew that they would; but the emotions were so real and intense that I was sucked in, which is the testament to Katie's gift as a writer. Thanks Katie; I just love my guys of Runaway Train, but I can hardly wait for our next adventure with Jacobs Ladder!
