Running on Empty is the second book in the Fleur De Lis series by A. L. Vincent and what a series it is shaping up to be. This is the second book that I have read by this author and there is just something about her writing that just pulls me in straight away. With both books I have found myself completely absorbed in the story and in the lives of these wonderful characters. Characters that you just want to be friends with and characters that all seem to have their own hidden pain that they are trying to deal with. This book could be read as a standalone as it focuses on a different couple than book 1 but I would definitely recommend reading them in order as both books are equally beautiful.
Running on Empty is Grace and Gabe’s story. They both feature a little bit in book 1 but we get to find out more about them in their own story. Grace is a singer in a popular band and she loves being in the spotlight. Music is her life – unfortunately for Grace her guitarist Brent cannot take no for an answer and she finds herself heading back to her hometown of Bon Chance after she wakes up one morning next to Brent with no memory of what happened the night before. Needing a job Grace finds herself dusting off her teaching degree and accepting a position as a substitute teacher. Coming back home Grace didn’t really bank on running into her old high school friend Gabriel (Gabe).
I don’t know why but I just totally fell in love with this couple! Gabe was just so amazing! Even though he doesn’t know what Grace went through he knew that he wanted to help her heal – he’s secretly loved her for long enough! He was pretty much the perfect gentleman!
Grace for me was such a strong character. I can’t imagine how she might feel after what happened with Brent and during some of the story I just wanted to be there with her and tell her everything would be ok! I loved that Noah was there for her (I thought he was pretty much perfect in the first book but in this one he surpassed that!!)
I really love the characters in this book and the friendship bond that they have! They have an unbreakable bond that is a joy to read about! I can’t wait for the next book in the series!
