Accidental Runaway Groom (Clover Lake #2) by Carrie Ann Ryan


 


 

Blurb:

I picked up a groom on the side of the road on the way to a wedding.

One problem: I wasn’t the bride.

And he didn’t mean to run away.

Sometimes things happen for a reason and six months later, I’m back in Clover Lake and Sharp McBride is single, not-so-heartbroken, and my new best friend.

Only neither one of us wants to be just friends.

I don’t know where his heart belongs, and I don’t want to be the person to break what’s left. Yet I’m only in town for a short time and I’m not sure I’m made for small time life.

And if we’re not careful, this time I might have to be the one who runs away.

**Accidental Runaway Groom is a next generation, grump rancher, friends to lovers, not-what-you-think romance set in the Montgomery World & Clover Lake series featuring Jamie Montgomery & Sharp McBride. Each book can be read as a complete standalone. An HEA is guaranteed!**

 

My review:

Sharp McBride is a cowboy through and through. Jamie Montgomery is a city girl visiting the country. Sharp and Jamie are perfect for each other but they come from two different worlds. Their story had me laughing and grimacing and swooning. Another fun read.

Warner Robins LitFest 2026

 

Warner Robins LitFest 2026

 

This was my first visit to this event. I was thrilled that it was to be held in my town. I've attended a lot of book signings, conventions and book fairs . The venue was terrific. Lots of room and lots to see and do. This was billed as a "Family Friendly Event". They had a separate section for kids books which was wonderful. The adult side was filled with mostly new authors with one or two books to display. There were a lot of 'Inspirational" authors. Even the PNR author made sure I knew her books were fade to black. There were a lot of terrific vendors. We met representatives from GPB kids and WDEN. There was even a reporter from WMAZ. And although I didn't find a whole lot in my preferred genres I did manage to pick up a couple of books and swag and oh yeah Girl Scout Cookies.
