Book Review: Running From A Rock Star by Jami Albright

Brides on the Run Book 1

She’s a good-girl control freak. He’s a bad boy in need of a clean image. Will these opposites attract or self-destruct?

Scarlett Kelly is the poster child for responsible living. Growing up as the daughter of the town floozy she’s made it her mission to be the exact opposite. So when she wakes up naked and hungover in bed with a bad-boy rockstar, Scarlett bolts immediately. But she never expected him to follow her home… and tell her they’re married!

Gavin needs to repair his image or his music career will go down the tubes. He’s also just learned he has a son he never knew existed! Gavin wants to settle down, and bribing his new wife to stay married may just fit everything into place.

Scarlett agrees to the ruse to help her family’s financial troubles even though she can hardly control herself around the rock star. As they search for Gavin’s son, will the cross-country adventure give them exactly what they’ve been missing or send them packing?

Running From a Rock Star is the first book in a series of comedic contemporary romance novels. If you like zany characters, razor-sharp wit, and unlikely love stories, then you’ll love the first book in Jami Albright’s Brides On the Run series.

My Review:

These characters come alive the moment the scene opens. they leapt off the page and into my heart from the very beginning. Scarlett's a good girl trying to live down her mother's reputation. She's got a heart as big as all of Texas but almost no one in her small-minded town will see it. She will, quite literally, break her own heart to prevent causing pain to the people she loves. Gavin's had to fight to earn everything he's ever gotten in his life. So when the best thing he's ever had comes into his life that easily, he doesn't trust that it's as good, as pure, as she appears to be. And so begins the comedy of errors that we witness as Gavin and Scarlett strive for their happily-ever-after. Along the way, we meet their zany family and friends who are almost more fun than our hero and heroine. I laughed so hard while reading this that my sides are still hurting. I am now desperately looking forward to the next book in the series to see just how many more sparks Jack and Luanne can strike off each other. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
