Yes, I’m a single dad who needs a nanny for the summer.

But hiring the stranded runaway bride who shows up on my doorstep in a wedding gown with no references, no skills, and no experience?

No one is that desperate.

Except within 24 hours, down-on-her-luck Veronica Sutton manages to charm my kids, my family, and half the population of Cherry Tree Harbor into believing she’s perfect for the job.

And for me.

It’s not that I can’t see the appeal–those baby blue eyes? The endless legs? That mouth made for trouble? But I’ve got enough on my plate, raising two kids on my own and keeping the family business alive. I don’t have the time or the inclination to fall for an outspoken city girl.

So I should have kept my hands to myself.

Holding her in my arms was a big mistake. Even worse? Spending the night together. She ignites a possessive fire in me that I’m finding hard to snuff out.

But the most unforgivable? Growing attached to the sound of her laugh, the scent of her skin, and the way her body wraps around mine in the dark.

At the end of the summer, she’ll be gone.

And if I’m not careful, she might run away with my heart.

All of Melanie’s books are incredible. It’s hard for me to find books/book series that I truly enjoy and can stick with. I’ve listened to almost ALL of them. I only have a couple more. I haven’t been disappointed with ANY of them. I’ll be buying all of the physical copies as well. Highly recommend!!

OBSESSED!!

Runaway Love is the first book in Melanie Harlow’s new small town series, Cherry Tree Harbor. I’ve always enjoyed MH’s book and when I heard this was a single dad hero and nanny heroine romance and I was like “say less”!

The story starts with Veronica getting a sext from her husband-to-be on their wedding day, but just one problem he meant to send it to someone else and she realizes he has obviously been cheating. 👀 She ends up fleeing her wedding as a runaway bride and shows up at a local diner! At the diner the locals hear out her story and help her out by letting her know a local guy is looking for a nanny!

Austin is the single dad to 7-year old twins. He just found out his sister can’t nanny for the summer and he’s in a bind. That is until Veronica shows up at his front door applying for the nanny position…in her wedding dress. He ends up telling her no at first but later he realizes he needs her in his life. Austin had to put his own dreams on the back-burner to work alongside his father and their family business as carpenters/making furniture. He and Veronica instantly have a connection and it was fun seeing them fall into one another, especially the week his kids aren’t home.

This did have grumpy, sunshine vibes and it was just a fun, quick read! Low angst and a great start to the series with some future books/couples hinted at. The romance is a bit insta-lovey and the 3rd act breakup were both not my favs, but the hero does do some groveling at the end! The audio was narrated by Sebastian York and Sophie Daniels and it made it a breeze to get lost into the book.

Grumpy single dad hero, sunshine nanny heroine!

Great start to the series, narrators were awesome and totally swoony. Veronica runs away from her wedding, ends up with a job as nanny to hot carpenter and his twin 7yr olds. This book is funny, sweet and so sexy and the cute kids and family are icing on the cake.

This book is a delightful rom-com that hits the spot. Not a lot of angst or drama but tons of adorable moments with a set of precocious twins, their grumpy dad and their new nanny.

So sweet!

This story was very wholesome and enjoyable. From the beginning you could tell that these two had chemistry and it was only a matter of time before they were an item. The nanny aspect only made things that much sweeter because I loveeeee a single dad/nanny moment! The narrators were great and I am eagerly awaiting book 2 in the series!

Cute story about finding love when you’re not looking. Narration was good and lended to the characters and seeing them in a realistic light.
