Reviewer’s Thoughts:

Annie, a strong willed young woman. Has decided that while her sister is on her Honeymoon, that she will try to elope to Gretna Green again with the man she is in love with.

Jordan was asked by his best friend and Annie’s sister to keep an eye on her while they were away. Jordan hopes it would be an easy task to check on her once in while.

Annie believes that Arthur Eggleton, the man she tried to elope with was not paying her enough attention. Annie wants Arthur tell his father that they are engaged. ย So most of ton is laughing at Annie behind back because she is chasing after Eggleton, were he makes no effort to seek her out. Jordan, decided that he was going to put a stop to Annie’s scheme.

I really enjoyed reading Secrets of a Runaway Bride, I was laughing threw most of the book.

The character development was a bit slow but the really made up for it. Character interactions were well written. The way every one interacted made they seem more real and likeable. The plot was awesome, I didn’t feel like I missed anything starting to read the series in the middle. Secrets of a Runaway Bride ย was a great read, very hard to put down.
