Review: Escape Girl by Michelle Dayton

Author: Michelle Dayton
Publisher: Tile Publishing
Publication Date: June 2022

 Emily Saturn’s world is spinning out of control. An intellectual property lawyer, she’s gone rogue from her firm, dealing with a major lawsuit against a predatory software company’s CEO pro bono. When she isn’t looking for elusive evidence she can use—legally, of course—she’s trying to avoid her soon-to-be ex-husband, Bobby March.

After their whirlwind courtship and wedding, Bobby can’t pinpoint what went wrong between them. He’s been working for months on his new career and personal growth, determined to be the man his wife deserves. Desperate to get her attention, Bobby invites Emily to a series of individually designed virtual escape rooms, each one a moment from their love story. Hopefully, the sexy, romantic trip down memory lane will rekindle their intense connection—and clue him in on how to fix this.

Emily has never been able to resist a puzzle. Or, frankly, Bobby. The more she interacts with her husband online, the more she wants to see him again in person. Which is beyond stupid because Emily knows he’s wrong for her. Right?

Escape Girl is the third book in the Tech-nically in Love series.  It works extremely well as  a stand alone.  I have not read the first two, but never felt like I was missing anything in this one.  After meeting some of the characters from earlier books, I do want to go back and read their stories.  This one is Emily and Bobby's story.

I really loved this second chance romance.  I loved Emily and was rooting for her to find her way back to her marriage.  I loved the way each of them used escape room puzzles.  It was a really unique idea. The story is told entirely through Emily's perspective. Even though she has the most to work through, I kind of wish I had gotten Bobby's perspective as well.  I wanted to know him more than just through Emily's eyes.   Despite that, it's a sweet second chance with a wonderful couple.  I highly recommend this one.
