Runaway Love by Melanie HarlowOnce again, Melanie Harlow knocked it out of the park with this one, and I loved it, as I should.
This one is about a single dad who falls for a runaway bride and ends up becoming a nanny, so I had to let her hold my hand as I read this, and honestly, I loved every single bit of it. I don't read much romance about single dads, but maybe it's time to read some, because I love the way Melanie Harlow writes her men and how they fall in love, and how the relationship takes time to grow, finally culminating in love. Also, there's some groveling at the end, which I LOVED very much.
This book is about a single dad named Austin Buckley who needs a nanny for his twins, Adalaide and Owen, for the summer. What he didn't expect to appear in his doorway was a runaway bride! Immediately, Austin turns her down because she doesn't have everything he needed to take care of his kids for the summer, but when she started to prove herself-teaching the kids how to do some simple yoga, actually learning how to cook, and things like that-that's when he hires her.
But he shouldn't kiss is hire. Or fall in love with her. Or punch her dickhead of a fiancé in the face.
But he did, and now Austin doesn't know what to do with himself.
Veronica "Roni" Sutton had gotten a sext from her fiancé, Neil Vanderhoff, which should've been sent to whom it was meant to be sent to, but when she confronted him about it, he denied it. When it came to saying their vows, Roni said nah, Rockette-kicked him in the face, and ran away to Moe' Diner, where she saw the help-wanted ad for the nanny job. She goes in her wedding dress and got the job, and for the summer, everything is perfect.
Until she starts to fall in love with Austin, and their chemistry is on fire. But then she wants to leave, to go back to NYC so she can go back into dancing, but instead she stayed in Cherry Tree Harbor, opened a dance school, and she moved in with her Austin, and everything was perfect. The ending made me cry, and now I want an Austin x Roni extra scene with them married, raising Owen and Adalaid,e and their own kids.
I really do highly reconmend this book (and Melanie Harlow) so, so much.
