review 1: Same with 'The Nanny's Homecoming'.....I LOVED EVERYTHING about this book!!!!.....LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT this book, the characters.....LOVED Brooke Clayton's brother, Sheriff Zach Clayton and Kylie Jeanne Jones, who was introduced in 'The Nanny's Homecoming' (the first of the Rocky Mountain Heirs series)....I adored the way Zack and Kylie were introduced to each other....With Kylie literally running straight into new Clayton sheriff, Zack Clayton's arms in her wedding dress....Running out on her SCUM 'Almost husband' minutes before their wedding....Zack and Kylie had TONS of chemistry! LOVED seeing Brooke, Gabe, little A.J. Darlene, little Macy, Arabella, Jasmine, Arabella's triplets....I hope that SCUM Vincent 'gets his'....Either that or has a wake up call from GOD....I'... morem just LOVING EVERYTHING about the 'Rocky Mountain Heirs' series.....Looking forward to reading the rest of the series ;-)
review 2: A book starting with a bride running out of the church, away from her cheating groom, and into the arms of the new sheriff in town automatically has a level of heightened expectation. In addition, The Sheriff’s Runaway Bride is the second in the “Rocky Mountain Heirs” series, following a stellar start by Linda Goodnight’s The Nanny’s Homecoming. Would the second installment be as good as the first? Arlene James had her work cut out for her and rises to the challenge by presenting an excellent stand-alone faith-filled love story all while moving the overall story arc along at lightening pace. Equal parts beautifully developed romance and small town suspense, The Sheriff’s Runaway Bride focuses on another of the Clayton cousins coming home to fulfill the wishes of a grandfather’s will. Zach Clayton is a lawman recovering from trauma in the big city. He returns to his hometown and lands a new job as deputy sheriff. In a different sort of “meet cute,” on his first day, Zach spies waitress Kylie Jones fleeing the church in her wedding gown after she discovers his cousin kissing another woman before the ceremony. The romance begins and so does the suspense.Zach and Kylie’s developing relationship is wonderfully written. The reader witnesses the hero and heroine both gradually falling into newly discovered love, often given the short shrift in romances and made all the more endearing by the author’s excellent descriptions from Zach’s point of view. Their reliance on God and developing faith is clearly described in a way both poignant and real. In addition to the hero and heroine having dreams at cross purposes, threats to Kylie and continuing family mysteries add just enough suspense to keep the pages turning quickly. The reader will get their HEA for Zach and Kylie while being left impatient for the next installment of “Rocky Mountain Heirs.” The best of both in the mini-series world! less
