Getaway Books in Order

The Getaway series moves Jay Crownover’s romance into Wyoming ranch country, where the land is beautiful, the work is hard, and danger can come from more than bad weather. The books center on the Warner brothers, a stubborn family trying to keep their father’s struggling ranch alive by turning it into a wilderness retreat for guests who want adventure with their fresh air.

It starts with Retreat, when Leora, usually called Leo, lets her best friend talk her into a week away after a painful breakup. She expects hiking, bonding, and maybe a little misery. Instead, she meets Cyrus Warner, a trail guide who is not the polished cowboy she pictured, and the trip turns into something much more dangerous than a brochure promised.

This is ranch romance with a suspense streak.

The next books stay close to the Warners and the people pulled into their orbit. Shelter follows Sutton Warner, a single father dealing with guilt, addiction, and the fallout of nearly losing Emrys Santos. Escape turns to Lane Warner and Brynn, whose long, complicated history with the family makes their love story feel tangled before it even begins.

Crownover later widens the series beyond the three brothers. Runaround follows Webb Bryant, a drifter who has become useful around the ranch, and Tennyson McKenna, a forest ranger who knows better than to trust trouble. Detour shifts to Wyatt Bryant and small-town sheriff Rodie Collins, bringing a quieter, more intimate kind of healing to the same rough-edged world.

The setting matters because it strips people down. Out on the trail, in small towns, and on back roads, Crownover’s characters cannot hide behind city noise for long. They have to face grief, fear, family loyalty, old mistakes, and attraction that rarely arrives at a convenient time.

Read these if you like contemporary romance with cowboys, found family, outdoor danger, and people who are tougher than they think.
