Customer Reviews
The Runaway Bride of Blossom Branch
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
This is a wonderful story. The only thing that would have made it better would have been Harry’s POV as well. There were some times when Harry would say or do something that would confuse me. I really didn’t connect with him because of it.
Cate is marrying her long-time boyfriend Jason. As she is reflecting back during the ceremony, she realizes that something is amiss. Jason pulls her aside. He breaks the news to her that while he loves her, he is not in love with her. As she flees the church, Jason’s cousin Harry comes to her rescue.
Harry is older than Cate. He takes her to his home to let her get away from everything. As the days go by, Harry forces her to slowly get back to the living, past the pain and heartache. Harry doesn’t want to get married nor have any kids. Will Cate rebound from Jason to Harry? Can Harry see passed his past to seek something special with Cate?
This is a sexy read so there is just a word of caution on that note.
Very good
Cate and Jason were friends forever. It only made sense they should get married, until the day it didn’t happen. Heartbroken and embarrassed Cate runs. Harry stops her and offers her a place to lick her wounds and start over. Harry has always made her jumpy and unsure of herself. Harry is older and wiser and has always teased Cate. Causing Cate to feel that he thought her naive and immature. As I always say much is said in jest.
I loved Cate but Harry had to grow on me. He was he have a lot of unreadable messages that often left you wondering where he stood on their relationship. They both had their past lives to work on to be able to move forward. Harry just might let the best thing in his life go if he can’t get past his upbringing.
I am so looking forward to the next book.
