Ready to Run (I Do, I Don't #1)

READY TO RUN                                              LAUREN LAYNE

Jordan Carpenter thinks she’s finally found the perfect candidate for Jilted, a new dating show about runaway grooms: Luke Elliott, a playboy firefighter who’s left not one but three brides at the altar. The only problem? Luke refuses to answer Jordan’s emails or return her calls. Which is how she ends up on a flight to Montana to recruit him in person. It’s not Manhattan but at least the locals in Lucky Hollow seem friendly . . . except for Luke, who’s more intense—and way hotter—than the slick womanizer Jordan expected.

Eager to put the past behind him, Luke has zero intention of following this gorgeous, fast-talking city girl back to New York. But before he can send her packing, Jordan’s everywhere: at his favorite bar, the county fair, even his exes’ book club. Annoyingly, everyone in Lucky Hollow seems to like her—and deep down, she’s starting to grow on him too. But the more he fights her constant pestering, the more Luke finds himself wishing that Jordan would kick off her high heels and make herself comfortable in his arms. 

PAT'S REVIEW

Jordan Carpenter thinks she found the one guy for the new show she is working on about a runaway groom. By him not responding to her calls or emails she leaves her safe place in New York and travels to Lucky Hollow, Montana. Once there and meeting Luke Elliot she still believes that he is a playboy firefighter leaving women at the altar. She decides to stay in town for a month and rents a place. This is where the story takes its first turn. The realtor happens to be one of the brides left at the altar, and surprisingly she has nothing but kind words to say about Luke. Jordan decides to do more investigation and finds another bride and finds the same response. Could she be wrong about this man for her show? The longer she stays in town the more the people and even his friends begin to like her. The problem is he is finding himself attracted to her as well. She has been attracted to him the first time she saw him and no matter what she has done the attraction has grown. The banter between them is easy and lite. It changes though when he realizes that she has left Lucky Hollow and returned to New York. Now, what does he do? Will they find a way to get together? Read this fun book about love and life.
