"RUNAWAY GROOM"--by LYNNE MARSHALL--Fortunes of Texas: The Hotel Fortune #4--This runaway groom might find his perfect match in Lynne Marshall’s new installment of The Fortunes of Texas series! (see my review)

 

Runaway Groom

From “I don’t” to…”I might?”

When Mark Mendoza discovers his fiancée cheating on him on their wedding day, he hightails it out of town. Megan Fortune is there to pick up the pieces—and to act as his faux girlfriend when his ex shows up. Mark swears he will never get involved again. Megan doesn’t want to be a “rebound” fling. But they find each other irresistible. What’s a fake couple to do?

MY REVIEW:  Author Lynne Marshall lends her considerable storytelling skills to Harlequin's popular, long-running "Fortunes of Texas Series" with "Runaway Groom", an involving and entertaining contemporary romance. On the eve of his wedding, Mark Mendoza is celebrating with his brothers and contemplating his future with the woman he chose to be his wife. At age thirty-five, he was marrying for "like", not "love", and his fiancee, Brianna, was in sync with his plans to soon start a family. Reality crashes his well-made plans when he catches Brianna before their wedding ceremony kissing another man while wearing her wedding dress. Stunned, Mark flees the scene and heads to the luxury hotel where his brother Rodrigo works. Rodrigo had been the holdout of the Mendoza brothers when it came to Mark's wedding--he even refused to attend. Now, Mark was seeking his brother's support. It's not Rodrigo who comforts him first--it's Megan Fortune of the wealthy Hotel Fortune family. The Fortunes and the wine-making Mendoza family are already connected--Rodrigo is engaged to Megan's sister Ashley. Mark and Megan enjoy each other's company, and when Brianna unexpectedly shows up at the hotel, they pretend to be a newly-matched couple to give Brianna a dose of her own medicine. What begins with a spark of mischief soon kindles a spark of another kind--and hearts are suddenly on the line. Mark and Megan both have personal issues to overcome--can they find their way past pretense into a loving and happy future together? The Fortunes and the Mendoza are two large, life-loving families with captivating characters and compelling story lines. Author Lynne Marshall has brought them together memorably in "Runaway Groom". Readers who enjoyed this story will love other contemporary romances from this very talented storyteller.
