Review:



I'm really glad I've chosen to read this book even if I didn't know the author and I didn't read the previous stories because The Duke's Runaway Bride was a lovely read that made me feeling good.

Beatrix ran away from her husband Quinton Roxbury Duke of Howden as soon as she said yes at the altar because she didn't want to be trapped in another hollow house. Quinton has married because he did need money to save his house from ruin, so when his wife ran away he kept the money and didn't say anything to avoid yet another scandal to his family. When he finds his wife's hiding place he decides to go meet her and to try to take her home, things don't go as planned because Beatrix wants a divorce but the two of them make a deal, if after six weeks Beatrix doesn't change her mind they'll part for ever. Will they have their happy ending? Or will Beatrix choose the freedom of her new life in Bath?

I fell in love with the main characters, Quinton and Beatrix have their reasons to act like they do but I absolutly adored how they give a real try to their relationship, without becoming instantly intimate. It was a pleasure to see them build a home together, filling it with love where everyone has the right to confront their emotions and be free.

I loved everything about this novel, it is well written and entertaining, Jenni Fletcher made me care about all the characters, in fact, I hope she has planned to write something more about Quinton's family.

I highly recommend this book you won't regret it.

        Synopsis:   I’ve loved Henry Hensley since I was seven years old. We’ve gone from best friends to lovers to nothing. To most people, he’s the Chicago Falcons starting right winger and hot single dad, but to me, he’s my first boyfriend, my first kiss, my first love. Eight years ago, that all changed when our lives took us in two different directions. Our break-up almost broke me, so I kept my distance until our hometown called me back to where our story began. I promised myself a quick visit to help my family out, and then I’d leave town before he even knew I was back, which should have been easy. He’s way too busy being a professional hockey player and raising his son to ever find out. Of course, I’m only in town for a week before I run into him, and one thing is clear from our brief encounter—Henry wants to hash out our past, whereas I’d rather forget it. But my plan really goes up in flames when I take a temporary substitute teaching job, ...
