Runaway Heart, takes you for a spin and around the block. Will I read more from this author? Yes, without a doubt! I adored this book from the very first page to the very last page. I found this to be a very quick and easy read. The secondary characters in this book stood out no matter how small of a part they played in the story. Her godmother introduces Chelsea to her handsome nephew. They make their way to the person who her parents made her trustee. She decides to take matters into her own hands and leave school with the help of her best friend. He is drawn to her.Ĭhelsea, a spirited, smart, outgoing, outspoken, beautiful young lady who is left at school by her cruel step mother. He realized very quickly that Chelsea isn’t like any of the women he has ever known. Little by little, as the days go by he becomes enchanted with Chelsea. He is not happy about this but he can’t say no to his aunt. His aunt wants him to show the ton of Chelsea. He is asked by his aunt who he adores to accompany her god daughter around town.

This pace flowed perfectly.īrett, a daring, confident, handsome man. I had lots of hilarious laughs while reading this. This characters in this book had so much passion. The vivid details form a exciting scenes in my mind making me feel as if I was in the story the whole time. She has the ability to bring you back in time with her writing. I did finish this book, but it was hard to read.Ĭlaudy has done it again in this light hearten love story. The final straw was when the hero shouted, 'Give them what for!' I can honestly say that in the hundreds of historicals I've read, I've never seen that phrase in one before. It's England, it's cold, and according to every other book I've read, she would have been in a nightgown. A young virgin would not have been sleeping nude in her bed. I read Regency romances all the time and the dialogue and action was just not realistic to the time period. I mean it's not porn, but I can't figure out why the author started out afraid to use sexual words when by the end of the book, she was using 'tits' and had an innocent virgin kissing a 'cock' during her first experience. And come to find out, this is far from clean. 'She got a 'feeling' when he was around.' Even the clean romances I've read don't say that. We got it the first time.Īnd what's with the 'feelings' everyone is getting? It's even written that way. The trustee and the godmother spent an inordinate amount of time saying over and over, 'She's been mistreated.

It always frustrates me when I read a book that could have been great with a little (or a lot of) editing.
