     “Lauren Layne gets the red rose for this one, and fans of  The Bachelor  will fall in love with this thoroughly charming story.” — Kate O’Keeffe, bestselling author       RUNAWAY GROOM I Do, I Don't - Book 2 Lauren Layne Releasing Jan 30, 2018 Loveswept     For one charming playboy, getting cast on a Bachelor-esque reality TV show is the shock of a lifetime—until he finds love where he least expects it.   Gage Barrett’s reputation as a ladies’ man has been greatly exaggerated, but none of that matters after a drunken bet lands him on Jilted, a reality TV show that matches runaway grooms with wannabe brides. Now he’s stuck at a Hawaiian resort with nineteen women competing to drag him back to the altar—and one contestant who’s even more miserable than he is. Gage has no idea how feisty, independent Ellie Wright wound up in the cast, but it’s obv...

This is book #2, in the I Do, I Don't series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this fab series in order. Ellie goes against everything she wants, when she auditions for a reality show to help promote her business.  Gage is conned into being the star of the reality show.  Neither want to be there.  Now they both are glad they came. This series just keeps getting better!  This book has a little something for everyone.  Want heat?  Got it.  Competition, and to learn what petty business woman can get up to with one another?  Got it.  Passion?  Got it.  Laugh out loud humor?  Got it.  Sparks that fly off the page?  Got it.  This series should be called Romance 101.  I just very literally loved it and eagerly turned each page.  I give this story a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given in e...

Jordan is a producer on a TV reality series.  She is searching for the perfect man to attract the women.  Also, he needs to have left them at the altar.  Why would she be attracted to that? Luke is the man in question.  Talking to him, and the folks around him, only brings more questions.  If he is a runaway groom - why are the ladies loving him? This is a seriously sweet and hot story.  I love the characters and cannot wait for more in the  I Do, I Don't series.   So much fun, and yet plenty of heat to still call it romance.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review, by Netgalley and its publishers.
