REVIEW – Runaway Love by Melanie Harlow

BLURB

Yes, I’m a single dad who needs a nanny for the summer.

But hire the stranded runaway bride who shows up on my doorstep in a wedding gown with no references, no skills, and no experience?

No one is that desperate.

Except within twenty-four hours, down-on-her-luck Veronica Sutton manages to charm my kids, my family, and half the population of Cherry Tree Harbor into believing she’s perfect for the job.

And for me.

It’s not that I can’t see the appeal–those baby blue eyes? The endless legs? That mouth made for trouble? But I’ve got enough on my plate, raising two kids on my own and keeping the family business alive. I don’t have the time or the inclination to fall for an outspoken city girl.

So I should have kept my hands to myself.

Holding her in my arms was a big mistake. Even worse? Spending the night together. She ignites a possessive fire in me that I’m finding hard to snuff out.

But the most unforgivable? Growing attached to the sound of her laugh, the scent of her skin, and the way her body wraps around mine in the dark.

At the end of the summer, she’ll be gone.
And if I’m not careful, she might run away with my heart.


Cherry Tree Harbor is a small town with two specialties: fudge and gossip.


ARC REVIEW

This book is the perfect feel good romance that brought a smile to my face from start to finish.

Veronica literally runs out of her wedding and after a series of events ends up on the porch of a single father to twins who is looking for a nanny for the summer. She is at a point in her life where she is alone and lost everything and you can feel that she isn’t happy where her life has ended up and she has some insecurities over her life and how it has ended up. Austin is a single dad and he really wasn’t expecting to be a dad, but life gave him a curveball. He is closed off when it comes to emotions and relationships, yet Veronica brings out something in him.

The chemistry between these two is off the charts. I loved the tension, the banter, the flirty looks. I just couldn’t get enough of them and the fact that neither of them could keep their hands off each other.

The secondary characters in this book are amazing, from Austin’s twins, to his dad, to his brother Xander and really the entire town of Cherry Harbor. This story is full of spice, laughs, and just leaves your heart full.

If you’re looking for a small town, single dad, grumpy/sunshine romance this is one to check out.
