BOOK REVIEW- Running From A Rock Star (Brides on the Run Book 1) by Jami Albright

She’s a good-girl control freak. He’s a bad boy in need of a clean image. Will these opposites attract or self-destruct?

Scarlett Kelly is the poster child for responsible living. Growing up as the daughter of the town floozy, she’s made it her mission to be the exact opposite of her mother. So when she wakes up naked and hung over in bed with a bad-boy rock star, she bolts immediately. There’s just one problem: Scarlett’s bedmate is her new husband. 

Gavin needs to repair his image or his music career will go down the tubes. He’s also just learned he has a son he never knew existed. He needs to settle down, and bribing his new wife to stay married may just fit everything into place. 

Scarlett agrees to the ruse to help her family’s financial troubles even though she can hardly control herself around the rock star. As they search for Gavin’s son, will their unlikely matrimony give them exactly what they’ve been missing or send them packing?

Running From a Rock Star is the first book in a series of comedic contemporary romance novels. If you like zany characters, razor-sharp wit, and unlikely love stories, then you’ll love the first book in Jami Albright’s Brides On the Run series.  AMAZON 5+


Oh my gosh, this chick Scarlett is hilarious!  By Chapter 9, I had already laughed so hard that I almost couldn't believe it!!!  I am so KEEPING this book.  Just the beginning of the book was enough to get the laughter rolling.  Scarlett woke up to one heck of a day.  The disasters just kept coming. 
 It had super great main characters and a supporting cast as well.  Scarlett's best friend and attorney, Luanne Price was best described as a fierce elf.  At least that was Gavin's impression that we heard from his inner dialogue.  She was tiny but mighty and most of it was her mouth.  And she was a fierce backer of her friend Scarlett.  
Honey is Scarlett's aunt and she isn't the norm that you would expect.  But she had a heart of gold, was flamboyant and as funny as all get out.  I enjoyed every moment of her appearance in the story.  And it was amusing to watch Honey wrap Gavin around her little finger.  She had a special affection for him almost from the first time they met.  And even he admitted it was almost impossible to tell her no.  He was both charmed and amused by her.
Gavin had a best friend who was also an attorney.  Jack Avery was smart , could be ruthless and snarky if anyone even tried to put one over on Gavin.   A lot of added fun and humor came  when Jack and Luanne clashed..constantly. They loved the witty battles, although they wouldn't admit it.
It wasn't all fun and games, although there was plenty of that. Both Scarlett and Gavin were carrying baggage from their childhoods.  And Gavin had the extra weight of being a famous musician.  Someone was always out to get what they could out of him.  It made them more interesting and bit more complex, which is always interesting to me. 
Oh, you are going to hate Poppy.  I know I did.  She was causing several problems for Scarlett and she was enjoying every minute of it. She was all up in Scarlett's face about it too. I knew Scarlett was going to find her way out of it but I just wasn't sure how it was going to happen.  
 I really loved the way Scarlett could try a phrase and make me laugh even more.  Not cheesy but definitely funny!  Like what she called her inner hussy would try to get out of her super good girl control, that was  some of the funniest moments.  That inner dialogue, made me grin.  She was always telling that inner hussy to shut up and stop acting up.  But whenever she was around Gavin, that inner hussy came out to play.  Gavin actually began to understand there was two parts to her personality.  The fiery redhead was who she really was and he did loved it when that part of her showed up.  
I think this is the first book that I have read by this author but it won't be the last.  In fact, I liked it so much I have already got the next book in this series," Running with a Sweet Talker".   Please, Please don't disappoint me because this one was so good and I want to see that trend continue.   Now, I'm going to have to find a way to put this in the Amazon title,  "Loved, loved, loved it, let me count the ways".
