Runaway Bride
You never know about a person until you've traveled with them.
Artemis Stephanos has her life all figured out. First on her list is keeping her family in line. Second is keeping the family business afloat. And third, staying as afar away from marriage as she can get even as her flock of younger sisters urge her to take that trip down the aisle so they can follow. What Artie didn't figure out was how to not fall in love with her runaway cousin's fiance.
Nick Constantine isn't thrilled about marrying Artie's cousin, but as a member of a traditional Greek family, arranged marriages are the norm. And a contract is a contract. What he doesn't expect is to have his almost bride take off on a cross country trip to find herself, while he trails behind with Artie in tow and trying not to fall in love with the child/woman, shrew businessperson/thrill a minute mixture that is Artie Stephanos.
Join Artie and Nick on a cross-country pursuit that is filled with as many surprises as the contents of Artie's almost magical purse and two people who never thought love would happen to them.
WARNING: This romantic comedy contains a three-legged dog, a cross-country trip in an old yellow Cadillac, hotels with free erotic movies, a heroine with a huge purse and a hero adrift without his iPhone.

I mean, this was not good. I got it as a free Kindle download, and it had many "free Kindle download" problems:
- The formatting was all wonky, with section breaks where the section hadn't ended and NO section break when it switched perspectives
- The plot? Well, it was not really a plot. I mean, it's a romance novel, and a short one, probably about the length of a Harlequin, and those never have a plot to speak of. So, there was no plot, there were gratuitous porn scenes, and the dude character development was fairly non existent.
- There were many spelling and grammar errors, to the point where the ongoing plays on words being used by the author (involving puns and similar bar names, which felt a lot like a Stefon on SNL ripoff) got confusing because it might be a typo.
But I read the whole thing in one sitting, so there's that, I suppose.

Not bad for a quick, light read.
