Runaway Bride

by Marilyn Shank

Hannah Hastings almost married the wrong man. At her wedding, she suddenly realizes that her fiancé; is a control freak just like her father. She runs out, gown and all, hops into her red Mustang convertible, and flees. She ends up at Camp Wildwood in rural Arkansas where handsome, strong-minded Jacob Reynolds hires her as Activities Director. Hannah's experiences teaching kindergarten have not prepared her for all these roughneck campers and Aaron, the biggest troublemaker of all, is Jake's son. As a divorce attorney, Jake has seen too many marriages crumble---his own included. Hannah has no intention of rebounding into the arms of another controlling man. But how can they possibly resist the growing attraction that has ignited between them?

I think I could count on one hand the number of "romance" books I've read. My interest tends more to history and crime. But since I know the author, I decided to read her first book. I only learned a few months ago that she is a published author. This is a sweet story and a fun read. I am in awe of anyone who would even try to write a book, and I'm proud of Marilyn for the seriousness with which she approaches her craft.

I didn't really like this book. Nothing really happened. I expected more out of this book than there was. I would definitely NOT read this book again.

Cute story. Quick read. Nice characters. I have read about four of these books by Marilyn Shank in a row and I have enjoyed all of them. Definitely chick lit.
