Long, Tall Texan (previously published as There Goes the Bride)

By: Lori Wilde

Narrated by: Courtney Patterson

Texas socialite Delaney Cartwright knows she can't go through with her wedding. But she can't simply call the whole thing off. The nuptials to her nice, predictable childhood friend are the social event of the season (not to mention that her mother would freak). To fan the flames of this dying ember, Delaney abducts her fiancé for a night of passion-and grabs the wrong guy! A guy with smoldering eyes and an irresistible country-boy swagger...

Ever since his ex-wife left him on their honeymoon, Detective Nick Vinetti's sworn off relationships. And despite the sparks flying between him and Delaney, there's no way he's getting mixed up with another runaway bride. But when Delaney takes her "get out of marrying the wrong guy" attempts to the next level, landing herself in danger, Nick finds himself willing to do anything to keep her out of harm's way.

Critic reviews

"Entertaining and humorous...There's a seriousness to it also, as the heroine learns to recognize real love and caring. Wilde again includes secondary romances that are intriguing, entertaining, and hot."

"Wilde brings romance fans a feel-good, laugh-out-loud read...one of the best romantic comedies I've read in a long time."

"Charming...lighthearted...fun...strong secondary romances enhance an engaging Valentine tale."

Enjoyable with minor irritation

Story was good but the title is a bit misleading. Not sure what Long, Tall Texan had to do with the storyline unless it was referring to the main female character. I have to admit sometimes I'm attracted to a book by it's cover and the cover doesn't fit the story in my opinion. Overall it was good however there were a couple of spots where the narrator did not use the Italian accent for Nick's mother. That made me cringe. because the accent was so good.

Run Away Bride

A sweet romance with a touch of intrigue. The female lead Delany is a people pleaser who cannot bear to disappoint her strong willed mother. I can empathize with her and understand how difficult it is to rebel. Fortunately, she runs (literally) into a rough hewn Texas lawman. This destined meeting combined with the magic of an antique wedding vale give her the strength to believe in herself and take a chance on
love.

Great Storytelling- Quite Imaginative!

Unique and interesting, good characters and descriptions and leads you all over. I liked it and recommend!

Best Romance Ever!

This is by far the best romance I’ve ever indulged in, audiobook or otherwise. It’s whip-smart funny, sweetly magical, yet in-depth regarding the characters' foibles, insecurities, longings, and true motivations. The narration was excellent, and I intend to listen to it over and over again. That’s a first for me because the story is that good!

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.
