She's a take-no-prisoners fireball. He's a sweet-talking charmer. It could be love...if they don't kill each other first.

Hotshot lawyer Luanne Price may not believe in happily ever after, but she'd do just about anything to earn her absentee father's love. So when he waltzes back into her life with a plan for her to marry his business associate, she foolishly agrees. But on the wedding day, things go south. Fast. Luanne's desperate to get away, even if that means hitching a cross-country ride with the infuriating Jack Avery.

Jack needs to get Luanne out of his system. He'll watch her tie the knot and forget about her. Once she's married to another man, then she'll be off-limits forever. Solid plan. Until he spots her army-crawling through the bushes to escape the Wedding of the Season.

He knows he should let someone else deal with the runaway bride. But if there's one thing Jack has never been able to do, it's resist Luanne. Will their romance rev up on the open road, or will Jack and Luanne crash and burn?

Running With a Sweet Talker is the second book in a series of comedic contemporary romance novels. If you like zany characters, razor-sharp wit, and unlikely love stories, then you'll love the second book in Jami Albright's Brides on the Run series.

Review

Jami Albright has another hit on her hands!I adore a book that makes me laugh and I love books that have me panting for the hero. Running With the Sweet Talker did both from page one. This book is filled with characters you'll love and family drama that rings true instead of feeling forced and manufactured. The final scene was satisfying and oh so lovely. I sighed. ----New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Lori Ryan
I truly enjoyed this book. What a road trip. From Luanne's wedding day escape to Jack's personal bombshells. It was a fast-paced, hilarious but at times deeply personal journey as these two go from "frenemies" to lovers. Tighten your seatbelts and hang on to your kindles, you are in for a wild ride!--Amazon reviewer

Sexy hero, spicy heroine

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2019

RUNNING WITH A SWEET TALKER is a standalone read with a HEA. It is a bit sexy in parts if that is an issue for you. The story starts in Texas at a big wedding. However, the bride is running and the hero, Jack, gives her a ride to get away. it seems the groom has a girlfriend. That is not the worst part. Her dad catches him with the girlfriend right before the wedding. You would think he would take him out but no, he scolds him and tells him he can have as many girlfriends as he wants but he is going to marry his daughter. They have a big business deal going down that the joint merger will benefit both of them.

Little did they know that the bride, Luanne, was standing on the other side of the wall and heard everything they said. so she gathered up her skirt and she ran. Her car was blocked in and she needed a fast get away before it was discovered she was not going to march down the aisle. She is desperate. She and Jack have always been like enemies, picking at each other and inflicting pain whenever possible. But Jack is standing there with his car keys in his hand and he is offering her a way out. She has no choice, she jumps in his car and they speed away just as her father and the groom come out of the church looking for her.

This story is really very good. I really enjoyed it and found it to be very entertaining. I definitely recommend it. I really liked Jack. He was a sexy dude with attitude. He has it going on and he knows it. He has avoided getting involved seriously with women. He has a great career, a law practice of his own, a sexy car, and he is very easy on the eyes. He doesn't need serious Besides, he has seen too many bad relationships to want to get involved himself.

Luanne is also a very successful lawyer. She seems to have it all. A rotten childhood has left her emotionally damaged. She puts up a very rough exterior, one most people avoid. Jack however, loves to set her off and does so on a regular basis. Luanne is deep down wanting to be loved just for herself. But that hasn't happened as a child and as an adult she thinks loving someone will make her weak. So both these characters have their own demons that need to be addressed and moved on from.

Lots of life lessons as these two wind up on the run from the father that wants to win at any cost. They are always just ahead of him as they wind up getting robbed at a rest stop by two old ladies living out of their car. It is sad and funny. The part that will have you stand up and cheering is when jack takes the stage and does a dance that has the women shedding clothing and tossing money on the stage. That is so funny and Jack being Jack, he loved every minute of it. This is a fun read and very entertaining.

I was not paid for this review. I am not a writer nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 8/20/2019

More emotional than funny

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2020

The first book in this series was hilarious. This book was more emotional die to everything both Jack and Luanne had to face. Luanne flees from her own not knowing that Jack is watching. He offers her a chance to escape and she begrudgingly takes it. The escape turns into one long road adventure that involves an attempted kidnapping, a robbery, falling in love, and fighting for your self worth. The characters are wonderful and I loved the exchanges between Jack and Luanne. Very satisfied with the way the book ended and it was an enjoyable read

First, I want to give props to Jami Albright. I think it takes amazing writing talent to pen a romance novel that doesn't depend on over-the-top, overly-detailed s3x scenes to carry the story. Don't get more wrong...I enjoy a little s m u t like any other red-blooded woman. I just prefer a lot of story (good characters, good storytelling, good humor) with a little...well, a moderate amount of steam rather than having it the other way around. This is the second book I've read in this series and I think it's safe to say Jami has that talent.

Now... about Jack Avery...

Jack is handsome, intelligent, funny as all-get-out (ya know...I just realized that I really don't know what "all-get-out" is...but I digress). But the thing I love most about Jack is his big heart. Not only is he fiercely protective of the people he loves, but he isn't so macho that we don't get to see his heart break...and even then, be exhibits a lot of strength. Did I mention that he's funny? He is. Did I mention that I love Jack? I do.

It's kind of rare for me to find a female main character (heroine, if we must) that I truly like. I really like Luanne. Maybe it's because she almost reminded me of me: She's short; she--like Jack--is fiercely protective of the people she loves; she packs a lot of fire in a small package. Luanne's character also proved that people can be victims of non-physical abuse and not be aware of it. Her "relationship" with her father it's the very definition of gaslighting.

I loved Jack and Luanne together. There's just something about watching two people fight their way through their brokenness and learn to trust and love (with a little bit of steam on the side).

I'm really liking this series. On to the next book!

Aaaannnd urge to immediately re-read. I rest my case.

I know, too many exclamation points. I guess you can tell I loved this book. It's a keeper and a comfort read with just the right balance of humor and feels. I enjoyed the previous book, but I adored this one. Here, have a quote.

She cleared her throat, drawing his attention back to her face. She licked the straw from one end to the other. "Also, haste makes waste."
The air between them was so charged it practically sparked. They held each other's stare, and when her lips twitched, so did his.
She snorted and tried to play it off as a sneeze.
His bark of laughter was disguised as a cough. But when he saw the mirth at the edges of her lips, it was all over. He doubled over laughing. "Haste makes waste? Who let my grandma in here?"

I don't know if that conveys the chemistry and humor when taken out of context, but it's the best I've got at the moment. So yeah, I think you should read this book. In the meantime, I'll be waiting with bated breath for the next in the series: Running to the Cowboy.

Fun sassy reading.

I love this enemies to lovers story. I have loved Jack and Louanne since the first book when their chemistry was off the charts and this book continues to deliver.

Spice:🌶️🌶️ (no kinks and only one full on spicy scene, but a couple teases through out)
Characters: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (emotional, believable and good character growth)
Plot: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (absolutely rediculous plot and road trip but it's fun because of it).
Setting: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (love the changes in scenery a few are a little over the top but fun).

All in all a fantastic rom-com. Well worth a read.

Warning: narcissistic abuse, armed robbery, poverty. If these are triggers for you, please consider if this book is right for you.

5+ stars for Jack and Luanne's story!

Reviewed in Canada on July 11, 2020

I loved every freaking second of Jack and Luanne's story. It had so much heart and soul in it, both Jack and Luanne couldn't stand each other when they first met in the first book in this series but learned to tolerate one another. When Jack helps Luanne escape her arranged wedding, they end up going on a road trip that brings the two closer together than they ever expected. I loved the character growth and getting to know each of their family stories, both Jack and Luanne are very complex and interesting characters and it was beautiful watching their walls come down and fall for one another. I loved the wit and back and forth banter that Jack and Luanne have. They both gave as good as the other dished out. I loved Jack's sensitive and emotional side and I loved Luanne's spitfire personality. This novel is full of emotion and I loved how light-hearted moments were infused throughout the novel. I laughed, cried and rejoiced over Jack and Luanne's story. This is book two in the series but can be read as a complete standalone. I highly recommend checking out this book.

Enemies to Lovers at its best!

Reviewed in Brazil on November 28, 2019

In this book we follow the story of Jack and Luanne who met in the first book (Running from a Rock Star) of this great series. Their first encounter (on the other book) was electrifying. In opposite positions, defending their best friends interests, they establish a challenging relationship. But in this book, this competitive trait faces a long road trip, and their challenges and dialogues are very wit and so much fun! Enemies to lovers at their best! Runaway bride, road trip, family issues, personal maturity, and the discovery of love make this book a great reading choice!

Good book. It makes you laugh. I liked this one better than the previous one, maybe because the characters are funny and when they are together, they're even more.

A predictable story, written well

Reviewed in India on October 31, 2019

Although there is not much that takes you by surprise in the story, I really enjoyed the writing. I liked how the characters of protagonists - Jack and Louanne are set up. The story is set around romance between the two, though I felt it was as much of them coming to terms with the issues in their lives than falling in love with each other. For Jack it's dealing with the secret his beloved mother held regarding his father and for Lou it's about dealing with neglect from her family. Although I did not understand why there was a need for a plot involving two old ladies, I found the humour is particularly endearing. Recommended for a bed time read. I assure you that you will fall asleep with a smile.
