❥ SYNOPSIS ❥
Clara Saint-James is completing a journey started by an old friend. She’ll return a Cadillac to California, a place she’s avoided for more than a decade. But it’s time for closure and to put old ghosts to rest. And it’s time to find out if the feelings she’s cherished for the boy from her past are just fanciful memories—or if there’s a chance they are real.
Timing was never on her side, especially when it came to Karson Avery. The two of them lived in a junkyard as runaway teens, and though she wanted more than his friendship, he always belonged to another—until that one night when he was hers.
When Clara finds Karson living in a small, coastal town, she’s not surprised the beautiful boy from her past grew into a stunning man. His smile is as captivating as ever. His eyes have the same roguish glint. But timing is still working against her.
Clara must decide how far she’s willing to go to battle for Karson’s heart. Or if it’s time to let him go and surrender to the dotted lines that have always kept them apart.

❥ MY REVIEW ❥
'DOTTED LINES'
is the fifth book in Devney Perry's 'Runaway' series. It picks up where the fourth book left off. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.' This focuses on Clara Saint-James and Karson Avery.
Although I've only read the previous book in this series (Forsaken trail) I still fell in love with and connected with these characters and their struggles as young teens, living in a junkyard when they had nowhere else to go.
A majority of this book was set in the past, which gave us all the background feels when it came to these two, I especially enjoyed seeing first hand the protectiveness Karson placed over Clara.
When it came to these two in their teenage years their timing wasn't right for them to be together, even though they cared about each other deeply they went their separate ways, but neither forgot about the other. Years have gone by and now it's time for Clara to drive the cadillac to its final destination in California leading her right to Karson's doorstep with her wingman Gus.
I loved seeing how each junkyard kid was successful as adults considering how each of them had been homeless to start off with. The only reason why I didn't give this one 5 stars as I felt like the end was a wee bit to rushed as he said goodbye to his past and hello to his future. Other than that this was read in record time and I loved every single minute of it!
