Running Away

by Jen Andrews

I have read the other books in this series, so before I even flicked to the first page I knew I was going to love these guys and boy was I right.

Every family has one, well maybe not a playboy but the one member of the family that is just a little bit outside the rest, for the James family that was Jeremy. The singleton of the brood with absolutely no desire to change his status anytime soon, or so he thought. Because seeing his sister settled with spending time with his niece has this devout bachelor, seriously reviewing the way he lives his life.

Then you get Teagan and I have to say that initially I was a little scared about how I would feel about her. On the rebound and on the run from a cheating boyfriend, means that Teagan is now in Sacramento but will a chance meeting between her and Jeremy have her hitting the road again or will she see that not all guys are the same.

From the first instant, Jeremy knew there was something different about the way Teagan made him feel and if she was being honest she would admit that she felt the same. As much as Jeremy was willing to dive straight in to a relationship, the thought of it had her swinging on her heels, could she possibly allow herself that happiness, could she accept what Jeremy was offering and not let her sense of foreboding and vulnerability knock her back?

She has a problem though, because as much as everything negative is swilling around in her head, she cannot deny that she is attracted to Jeremy and he is damn sure he isn’t going to let her go without a fight.

He may have been a bit of a lush in the past but having already decided to change his ways, he was prepared to work his butt off to get his girl and I loved seeing the effort he was prepared to put in. She was worth it, it was just a shame that she didn’t she see what he did in her.

Now their path was not without its fair share of hiccups but that is when you know you have something worth having – you are prepared to work at it!

The story swept along at an even pace and was beautifully written, I liked the fact that the characters from the previous book, especially Zoey and Andy were back, they were definitely my favourite characters to date. There were also some secondary characters that captured my attention, namely Reece – loved him!
