A review by illstoptheworldandreadwithyou
The Bride's Runaway Billionaire by Pippa Grant

• Loveable characters? Yes

4.25

An unlikely friendship forged in Fiji when they both needed it most leads to a son neither of them expected and a second chance at love in The Bride’s Runaway Billionaire. 

 

Emma Monroe, of viral video fame, meets Jonas Rutherford, of Razzle Dazzle fame, while both are hiding out in Fiji. She’s running from the dramatic discoveries she learned at her wedding. He’s hiding from the public after details of his recent divorce were plastered across the media. They may seem like unlikely friends, but they form a strong connection in a short period of time. After spending a night together, he ends up ghosting her. 

 

But he left a little something behind. 

 

Fast forward a couple of years, and Jonas shows up in her hometown looking to meet his toddler son. 

 

Emma has been burned before, though, so she’s slow to invite anyone into her son’s life and into her heart.
