I have a review of Runaway Bride Returns by Christie Ridgway up at The Good, The Bad and The Unread
Owen Marston could never forget the passionate Vegas weekend that ended at the altar with Isabella Cavaletti. Or the way his new bride walked out on him the morning after. The footloose librarian obviously wasn’t cut out for married life. So what was she doing at the injured firefighter’s bedside?
Marrying a man she’d known for only three days in the Elvis Luvs U Wedding Chapel definitely rated up there with one of Izzy’s wilder and crazier moments. But now her “impulse” groom needed her back at his side. Except the longer she stayed with her too-arousing temporary husband, the more permanent she wanted the arrangement to be…
Check it out…
I’ve read several of Christie Ridgway’s full length novels and was curious about her categories as well. Although I was bothered by a few things, overall I enjoyed this just as much as the other novels I’ve read by her.
One of the best and worst things about this book is the emotional issues Owen has to deal with after one of his friends is killed during a house fire. He loses all confidence in himself as a firefighter and really has a hard time with survivors guilt. When Ridgway focused on his emotional scarring it was very compelling. Unfortunately that aspect was glossed over quite a bit. While it was mentioned internally, it wasn’t really dealt with externally. The final resolution ended up being kind of glossed over, I think.
This book is available from Silhouette Special Edition. You can buy it here or here in e-format.
I’ve read Christie’s single titles but not her series books (And I read alot of series too).
I’m gonna look for this one.
