Synopsis

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.

First off…why the title change and cover change? While I appreciate the title and cover Long, Tall Texan…I really like There Goes the Bride. Anyway..this was a fun quick read. I started it and finished it in a day. It held my interest and kept me in the story. It’s one of those reads that one day ma......more

Goodreads review by Crystal on June 17, 2009

A very fun and entertaining romance. I love both Delaney and Nick. Delaney is such a people pleaser (and I understand her, I am similar) and she is marrying because she can't bear to hurt her fiance or her mother. She's already postponed the wedding twice and when she meets Nick and feels the sparks......more

Goodreads review by Addie on February 06, 2020

First things first, this is not a cowboy story. It IS a Texas story, but not a western. This is the story of Delaney and Nick. Delaney is a runaway bride with family struggles and self doubt. Nick is a cop who also has some relationship history that messes with his head, but a fantastic and fun fami......more

Goodreads review by Cecilia on August 01, 2016

3.5 stars for this book. The heroine is my least favorite kind of romance heroine - spineless and too easily manipulated by overbearing family members and friends. That said, the author did a good job with her transformation, although I would've liked to have come to some sort of ability to be on he......more
