    About this audiobook

    Combining humor, mystery, and aching hearts in a single space, Imogen Markwell-Tweed’s Escape Room is a heartwarming tale about how a second chance at love can be worth the risk. Jesse Gitner wouldn’t call his life boring, perhaps average or mellow. Working in IT, Jesse plays it safer than he did in his radical college years. A simple life, innocently following the career of the man who broke his heart. So when he wakes up in an eerie replica of his own apartment with no memory of how he got there, the last person he expected to be trapped with is his ex. State senator Vincent Turner the Third is hardworking and more than a touch self-loathing. Struggling to be his authentic self and please his father, Vincent has cobbled together his life as best he can. He never expected to see Jesse again, let alone be trapped with him and not know why. Forced together after fifteen years, Vincent and Jesse attempt to escape from their confines and simmering feelings. That is until the door of their apartment prison finally opens.

    • 3/5
      Not my favorite IMT book. The story itself was unique and I like the idea of it however there was more internal monologues than story details.
    • 5/5
      Freaking adorable! No spice, just two old flames reconnecting and facing their pasts together. All the feels with some laughs…
    • 4/5
      Very cool concept. I loved the characters together and the background they had. I wanted sex but that’s just me always wanting spice. I also wanted it to be longer. All in all loved.
    • 5/5
      The premise of this story caught my eye instantly. I enjoyed seeing how this story unfolded.
