Love on the Run by Suzie Tullett
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to Rachel's Random Resources and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
With her ex and her kids away, a woman takes up running and meets a new man—but can they make it to the finish line?
Ten years after their divorce, this is the first time Hannah’s ex-husband has had the kids for more than a weekend. Her calendar is gloriously blank, ready to be filled with some self-care time.
That is, until Hannah’s BFFs push her to join them in a charity race for which she’ll need to start training—after all, she’s not doing anything else.
And her mum nags her to have Aunt Dorothy over for a visit.
So much for me-time . . .
However, Hannah’s not in tip-top shape, and running is a challenge to say the least. Maybe Gabe, the nice-looking personal trainer, can help with that? The more Hannah struggles, the more determined she becomes. But then Hannah is tripped up when she finds out Gabe has a shocking secret. Does this mean he will be out of the running for a place in her heart?
My Opinion
This is a charming rom-com. After her children are taken on holiday by their father for a month, Hannah isn't sure what to do with herself. With the help of her friends, Hannah signs up to take part in a run for charity - as she is not a runner Hannah knows that this is not going to be easy but is she up for the challenge?
This is a relatively short but enjoyable read that I devoured in a couple of hours. We follow Hannah as she tries to learn who she is without her children around. The book does get off to a slow start but the pace soon picks up.
Rating: 4/5

Love on the Run by Suzie Tullet
This is a very sweet book. Hannah, who dislikes exercise, initially refuses to participate in a charity race, but when her children agree that she couldn't run to catch a bus, something inside Hannah wants to show everyone that she's more than a mother.
Add in a handsome guy Hannah always runs into when she's not looking her best, a few lovely friends, a race, and the wonderful Aunt Dorothy who comes to visit, and you've got a recipe for romance, fun, and laughter. What more could you want from a book?
