Running From A Rock Star: An opposites-attract romantic comedy (Brides on the Run Book 1)

I’m ready to go to Zachsville and have my hair done at the Dip-n-Do as an excuse to catch up on the town gossip. Thanks to Jami Albright’s charming characters, I have a whole new set of imaginary friends.Scarlett has the sort of family we all secretly want. It’s easy to see why she falls for Gavin. He’s the hot guy that makes you throw caution to the wind. He’s more than just a bad boy and it’s so much fun seeing him try to find his footing in a small, Texas town. Warning: You may snort while laughing. Exercise caution while drinking so it doesn’t come out of your nose.I’ll never think of biscuits the same way again! This is such a fun story. I could have read it all in one day if I didn’t have a family and responsibilities. When the next book in the Brides on the Run series is released, I’m running away from home so I can read, snort, and spew my drink in peace.

A funny rom-com and page turner that will keep you entertained for a weekend at the beach or on a rainy day on the couch. This debut novel by Jami Albright is the perfect start to what looks to be an addictive series.I'm not a fan of tattooed rock stars with an attitude and a playboy reputation, but I was rooting for Gavin by the end of chapter one. By the end of the book, I wanted to hug him and never let go. And I envied the heroine... Scarlett is a super funny and relatable heroine, and I loved watching her grow throughout the book, and get her claws out at the most unexpected times.The small cast of side characters provides great support to the hero and heroine, and it provides some super funny scenes. The moment I read the scene with Luanne and Jack, I found myself hoping they'd be the next couple in the series (and they will be!!).This isn't a clean romance, as there are two descriptive sex scenes, although they aren't too long, so if you don't mind a little spice in your read, you will definitely enjoy the book.I'm looking forward to reading book two.

Wow. This book blew my socks off with its awesomeness. I love this kind of story and Jami Albright pulls it off flawlessly. Gavin is equal parts hot and sweet. I loved Scarlett, a strong heroine, who would do anything to take care of her family - even if it means protecting them from herself.The story is SO well written.  The sexual tension at the beginning, awesome.  Their flaws and issues done exactly right. It is the perfect romance with all the elements in balance.  I totally LOVED their vows. And the make out scene on the porch - you HAVE to read it.If you love hot rock star book boyfriends, scrappy, sassy heroines, and a HEA that makes you sigh, then you will definitely love this book. And you should get it. Like, right now.

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 that included 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 ever 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".

This book made me laugh. Within the first few pages I knew I would be reading the entire book and loving the heck out of it! Scarlett is so afraid of becoming her mother that she works very hard on being prim and proper. Even refraining from having sex and remaining a virgin. Let me tell you....I do NOT read virgin books. But even once I found out she was, I was so vested in the story I didn't care. Probably because she didn't play up the virgin card, and Gavin didn't make a big deal about it, and the story did not revolve around her being a virgin.This story revolved around a drunken night where Scarlett, a children's book author, and Gavin, a rock star, randomly meet in Vegas, get drunk and get married. Scarlett wakes up in his arms, panics, and the antics ensue. I was laughing so hard by the end of the first chapter, and laughed so much throughout the book. I will definitely be reading more by this author!

What I liked about this book is that the characters can be seen to grow with one another. Both Scarlett and Gavin have their issues and without overly trying, and by just being who they are and accepting one another, they help each other overcome them. The story is sweet, funny and entertaining from start to finish. I had a tough time deciding if this book is a three or four star read. In the end I decided to go with three stars, though I’d of liked to have awarded it three and a half. It’s a little better than my average read as its well written but at the end of the day it’s a very light and airy rockstar book. There’s little of the rock lifestyle, as the book takes part while the rockstar is not recording, touring, etc. So if you’re looking for a feel-good rockstar story that more or less avoids the pitfalls of the lifestyle and focuses almost purely on romance/family aspect of the character’s lives, then you really can’t go wrong with ‘Running From A Rock Star’.

OMG, what can I say, This is a definite must buy book. This is the first book I have read from Jami Albright and it most definitely won't be the last. This is the story of a Writer who is also a Sunday School Teacher and a Gorgeous Rock Star. They wake up hungover together in Vegas and that's where the fun starts. I really love Scarlett and Gavin. They are really likeable characters and I love the chemistry and interaction between them. This book made me laugh out loud but was also very thought provoking at times. I love the other family members, Scarlett's Aunt had me in stitches. If you want an enjoyable, romantic, fun read, then I definitely recommend this book. I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book. I really can't wait to read the next book in the Brides on the Run Series.

I think I picked this book up as a free offer somewhere and I am so glad I did!This is one of the best books I've read in a long time and I eagerly looked up the rest of the series, which I'm pleased to say were just as good.There is so much emotion wrung out of these pages it really did pull at the heart strings.An absolute 5 star read! And that isn't something I give these days, unless I really do think a book is exceptional.

This is a standalone romance novel with a HEA that forms part of a series with overlapping characters. This is a great mix of drama and comedy ( I even laughed out allowed at times) along with the romance. Love all the characters ( apart from poppy obviously) Definitely going to read about Luanne and Jack next.Reason I didn't give it five stars is that at about 85% Scarlett's behaviour just gets a bit OTT for no real reason and I stopped loving the book and just got irritated by her stupidity instead.

Oh my! What a rush of a story. It starts with prim children's author Scarlett waking up naked in bed with tattooed rock star Gavin. Her escape and subsequent capture take us on a roller coaster with batty relatives and hurtful secrets! A brilliant read that makes me grateful i was given the recommendation! Thanks Jami for a read that kept me hooked from the very first word!
