The fact that she is an heiress doesn't hurt either. But for various reasons, he waits a year before he proposes, by letter. Jennifer Purchas, enraged at the disrespect, rejects his suit and flees her overbearing uncle. She ends up as a governess, under an assumed name. When her charges' older brother attempts to assault her, she flees again. The children's guardian leaves her in the care of his grandmother in London. With the formidable duchess as a sponsor, Jennifer finds herself in the thick of the London Season, beset by jealousy, backbiting, rakes, and other hazards. And the man she wants--the duchess's grandson, is betrothed to another. A fun romp. (  ) readinggeek451 | Jan 17, 2019 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Overall Opinion:
I've always loved historical romance novels and that instantly drew me into this story but unfortunately I just couldn't find a connection with “Runaway Bride”. The question remains unknown if it was the storyline, characters it writing style moreso I will say in simpler words, I was bored with the read and I wasn't even through the ¼ mark of the entire series. Unfortunately I have have decided to drop this series and take it into to consideration of possibly picking this back up in the future.
