About this ebook

A dream wedding, a bride with cold feet, and the mountain man that comes to her rescue.

When I started planning my dream wedding at a Christmas tree farm, I never thought that, on my wedding day, I would literally bolt from my wedding.

I run through the Christmas tree farm until I find my favorite spot, which is where Emmett Monroe finds me, still in my wedding dress. The grumpy mountain man 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?

 

Ratings and reviews

Runaway Love is a spin off series from Lea Coll’s Ever After series, featuring the Monroe Brothers. Ireland, a wedding planner from the Ever After Series, has her own wedding at the Monroe Tree Farm. When the wedding is called off, Ireland runs into Emmett, who gives her a safe place to hide out until all the wedding guests leave. Emmett is a grumpy mountain man who owns and runs a tree farm with his brothers. This was such a heartwarming romance set against a wintery Christmas background. It felt like my favorite Hallmark movie but with fantastic spice, especially when they get snowed in together. I enjoyed how Ireland and Emmett’s relationship developed and grew as they spent more time with each other. This was a perfect story to get into the holiday feel-good spirit. I highly recommend this book and I am excited to read this new series.

What a wonderfully beautiful holiday romance. Ireland and Emmett's story had so many great aspects. The tree farms aesthetic was one of my favorite parts of the imagery and descriptive parts of the book. The spirit of the book was also something that really brought the holiday feeling to life as Ireland described things, with a lot of hope. All the firsts that Emmett made sure Ireland was able to experience while they were together was incredible and he needed those things as much as she did. But I won't spoil them. I also enjoyed that there was very little drama and although it was kind of insta-love it really worked. I was happy to see return characters as well in the friendships that spilled over from the last series. I can't wait to read the next brothers story. I have voluntarily left this review.

A wonderful start to a new series! We had a small tease with the Monroe family in the last book by the author and now we get the full blown yumminess that did not disappoint. Ireland is planning her dream wedding and grumpy tree farm owner Emmett gives in to her request. But as they spend more time together , she discovers she wants more and what happens next was a delightful and romantic romance story that’s a definite must read. One click to discover if they find their forever.
