Thank you so much Meghan Quinn and Montlake for sending me this gorgeous book!
Synopsis:
Hollywood screenwriter Sawyer Walsh knows a good love story when he sees it. But when it comes to real life romance, he’s a mess.That’s how he finds himself standing at the altar…as his ex-girlfriend ties the knot with his very famous best friend. The pressure, the resentment, the media coverage—it’s all too much—and before he knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s making a run for it, leaving a shocked congregation and flashing cameras in his wake.
Needing to lie low amid the media fallout, Sawyer lands in the charming town of Canoodle, California, where he crosses paths with Fallon Long, who runs the Canoodle Cove Cabins, a family-owned business and Sawyer’s new short-term residence. Overwhelmed with renovations and her long list of responsibilities, Fallon is struggling to make ends meet while attempting to bring the cabins back to their original glory. So when Sawyer arrives, she is grateful for the income, but immediately writes him off as just another vapid Hollywood hack, until he begins to prove her wrong at every turn.
As Fallon comes closer to saving the family business, an undeniable bond forms between her and the handsome screenwriter. But the pressures of her family obligations and Sawyer’s notoriety might prove to be too much for anyone to handle. Could Canoodle be the setting for a new romance—or is true love just a Hollywood cliché?
Review & thoughts:
Runaway Groomsman is a new standalone romantic comedy that releases in 2 weeks (October 11th). I always enjoy Meghan’s books so I guess it’s not a surprise I absolutely loved this one!
After a disastrous wedding of his ex-girlfriend and best friend, Sawyer needs a bit of peace and quiet so he decides to spend a few weeks in a charming small town Canoodle. Fallon moved to Canoodle to take care of her grandfather and help restore their family business to its former glory. These two are completely different and their first meeting doesn’t go very well, but the more time they spend together the more Fallon realizes Sawyer is more than he seems. Will the famous Hollywood screenwriter and a small town girl be able to have their happy ending?
It is impossible not to love all the characters in this book, they are all well written and each have their distinctive personality, Meghan once again proved she can write the most amazing characters. My favorite must be Fallon, she doesn’t have an easy life but tries to be happy and is kind to everyone, I loved how strong she is. Sawyer lost his belief in love after what his ex-girlfriend and best friend did, but meeting Fallon changed him and it was amazing to see how he gradually started to believe in love and romance again. I loved their cute slow burn romance, they were perfect for each other and each of them was just what the other person needed. It took quite a long time for them to get together, but I can’t complain because it was so satisfying to see them as a couple when they finally admitted their feelings. Also, I need to mention Jaz, she was so hilarious I laughed during every scene with her! She is the kind of best friend everyone would love to have. And Sully… my heart was breaking for him, he was so sweet but sometimes grumpy and had a beautiful relationship with his granddaughter, definitely one of my favorite characters.
I really enjoyed Runaway Groomsman, it was quite different from Meghan’s recent books (looking at you, Royally Not Ready), but is was just so good! I know I will miss those characters. Can’t wait for next books by this author!
