BOOK REVIEW- Running with a Sweet Talker by Jami Albright

Running with a Sweet Talker (Brides on the Run Book 2) by [Albright, Jami]

She's a take-no-prisoners fireball. He's a sweet-talking charmer. It could be love...if they don't kill each other first.


Hotshot lawyer Luanne Price may not believe in happily ever after, but she'd do just about anything to earn her absentee father's love. So when he waltzes back into her life with a plan for her to marry his business associate, she foolishly agrees. But on the wedding day, things go south. Fast. Luanne's desperate to get away, even if that means hitching a cross-country ride with the infuriating Jack Avery.

Jack needs to get Luanne out of his system. He'll watch her tie the knot and forget about her. Once she's married to another man, then she'll be off-limits forever. Solid plan. Until he spots her army-crawling through the bushes to escape the Wedding of the Season.

He knows he should let someone else deal with the runaway bride. But if there's one thing Jack has never been able to do, it's resist Luanne. Will their romance rev up on the open road, or will Jack and Luanne crash and burn?

Running With a Sweet Talker is the second 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 second book in Jami Albright's Brides on the Run series.   AMAZON 5+ STARS


I LOVED this book!   The first book in this series, "Running from a Rock Star" was when I was first introduced to this author and this series.  After reading the other one I was quick to grab this book.  Just the time that Luanne and Jack spent in the first book was enough for me to know that I wanted to read this one.  And I enjoyed every last minute of it. 
This author is now on my mental file of favorite authors list.  

Both Jack and Luanne were complex, funny, hearts as big as all out doors, mouthy,  characters.  And yes, some of their conversations were definitely for adult people. A few of their situations were too!  More than once family blinded sided both of them.  At first I thought only Luanne was going to have to deal, but Jack had something come at him out of the blue that was Mega serious. 
I laughed a lot as I read this book.  Jack calling Luanne, "Thumbelina" made me smile and made her mad.  Several people thought of her as this tiny pixie, but Jack knew she was a fireball.  Jack had many "faces" when it came to cover up his emotions.  He had come from nothing and fought his way up.  
There were plenty of good addition secondary people in the story too.  Jack's family being a part of that.  Luanne's father was also something else, written in a way that you can see who he really is.  All of the characters had a depth.  
So, laughter, depth of characters, unusual situations, some serious life challenges, great main characters that pretty much says why I really loved this book.  Keep 'em coming author.
