Runaway Love (The Monroe Brothers #1)

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

A dream wedding, a bride with cold feet, and the mountain man that comes to her rescue. I never thought that, on my wedding day, I would literally bolt from my wedding, and into the arms of a grumpy mountain man. Emmett offers me a much-needed respite from the chaos, inviting me into his cabin to "hide out" until all the wedding guests leave. But I never think that we will get stuck together for days in the one-bed cabin during a major snowstorm, completely cut off from the outside world. We go sledding and build snowmen, and he even takes me to cut down a Christmas tree for his cabin—something I've never done in my entire life. It's magical, like time is suspended. I fall hard and fast for him, but when the snow stops and the roads have been cleared, we have no choice but to return to reality. I need to deal with the fallout from my failed wedding, and if I want the head wedding planner position my boss offers me, I have to convince Emmett and his family to allow more holiday weddings to be held on his farm. Emmett is adamantly against it, and our relationship only complicates things. If I don't push this, I might lose my job, but if I do, I might lose the only man I've ever truly loved. Will I finally get my Christmas wish and get everything I've ever wanted? Or will this go down as one of the worst holiday seasons on record?

    Ireland is a wedding planner who works with the characters of another series by the same author (Ever After series). The women want to get another location for weddings and think the Monroe brothers tree farm would be the perfect venue. The oldest brother, Emmet, is reluctant because he likes his peace and quiet, but he agrees to let Ireland hold her wedding there, even though he really likes her and thinks maybe she should be with him instead. Ireland is intrigued by him, too, which makes things a little awkward. They resist, though, because she is engaged, at least until they get snowed in together. Then everything kind of gets thrown out the window.

    Both of these characters have been hurt in the past, so it's not surprising that when Ireland thought that she had everything you are "supposed to" have, she went along with it, even though she had reservations. It was nice, though, to see Emmet give Ireland support to deal with everything once they were able to get out from the snow. He was supportive, no matter what decision she made and that is unusual. Both characters learned about themselves and what they really wanted and that's always nice to see.
