The Trouble with Runaway Brides by Piper Rayne is now live!  I should not still be hung up on my high school girlfriend. I’m a billionaire, with a penthouse in New York City, a private plane, and was recently crowned one of Manhattan’s most eligible bachelors. She’s engaged to my rival. A real prick of a guy whose family is about as famous as mine. So, pictures of the happy couple are plastered everywhere, and it’s driving me insane. The last time I spoke to her was my freshman year of college, and I never imagined I’d bump into her at a crowded restaurant in the busiest city in the world. But fate had other plans, and when I innocently suggest that the press wouldn’t bother with her wedding plans if she held it in our small Alaskan town where we grew up, I had no idea she’d take me seriously. Now, I find myself helping her plan the wedding at my dad’s luxury resort while the town’s gossip app follows our every move, afraid that their golden boy will get his heart broken twice

All I wanted was a break—two weeks off from being Pixie Hart, country music sensation, and fourteen days of peace, privacy, and solitude as plain old Kelly Jo Sullivan. But thanks to some overzealous paparazzi, my family refuses to let me go anywhere alone, and I’m stuck sharing this tiny cabin with a tall, dark, and bearded bodyguard. And guess what? There’s only one bed. Well, he can couch it. Xander Buckley might be hotter than a stolen blow torch, and I get that he’s a former Navy SEAL and all, but the man gives new meaning to the words overbearing, overprotective, bossy alpha male. I can’t even post a photo on social media without him warning me it’s not safe, or take a morning jog without him following behind. But he’s made it clear that what he says goes, and if I don’t like it, I can kiss my vacation goodbye. Instead, I end up kissing him. I don’t even know how it happened—one minute we were at each other’s throats, the next we were at each other’s mercy. What’s even more shock

***5 ‘Bartleby Beakface’ Stars*** Ok, he wasn’t the best part of the book, but he does liven things up lol. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Katie and Beckett work extremely hard to not fall for each other. They both had valid reasons for not crossing any lines, but once they admitted to enjoy getting under each others skins…well it was only a matter of time. While Katie’s stubbornness was at times eye rolling, I loved her determination and heart. Beckett was a grump, but his care of those around him (even Katie at the beginning) and wanting to do right by the Sullivans as a whole made my heart happy. Obviously they have their ups and downs, but I loved how they brought out the best in each other and gave as good as they got and I’m happy they got their HEA in the end. There were some great moments in this one. I loved catching up with Wyatt, Lark & Penny. Aunt Tootie, Duke, Lee, Red and Annie were awesome…and even the Kings brought some goodness to this one in an interesting way. I’m
