Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for Running to You by Robin Patchen hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Running to You 

The Wright Heroes of Maine #1 

By Robin Patchen 

Five years ago, she left him with a broken heart. Now Eliza is back and has no idea that she left him and seemingly disappeared without a trace. 

Sam Wright has moved on from the one woman he was mere moments away from proposing to. Or he thought he had. But Eliza is back and she needs him to help keep her safe. 

There is just one little problem. Well, actually it's a rather big problem. Eliza has no idea where she's been for the last five years. And no idea why anyone would be after her. So, yeah, keeping her safe is a really big problem. Especially since they seem to know where she is! No question about it, Sam just might need to spend some of his money to keep her safe and to get answers, answers he may not like.

Running to You is a suspense-filled read that keeps the reader guessing as to what exactly going on and why Eliza is in danger. Partial bits and pieces are slowly revealed as her memory slowly comes back. But often what she remembers leaves more questions.      

Now as Sam attempts to help Eliza figure out what is going on, what happened, etc. he has some serious issues. The main being his anger at Eliza having left him. Eliza saw something and per Sam never gave him a chance to explain. Well, when the truth comes out (memory is revealed) one can understand Eliza's reaction to a point. And yet her sudden decision is what put her in the position she now finds herself in.

I have to be honest, I really didn't connect with Sam. Some of his attitude just really rubbed me wrong and I can't see why Eliza liked him, but she did, and we got a story out of it. I did like the mystery/suspense aspects of the book. As for Sam's brothers I look forward to learning more about them in future books in this series.      

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

From a USA Today Bestselling author...

Sam never understood why Eliza left him five years ago, ghosting him without explanation. He’s avoided romance ever since, focusing on building his business. Money might not keep him warm at night, but it can sure buy a lot of blankets. 

Then Eliza shows up on his doorstep and throws herself into his arms. She can’t explain her bruises or the head injury that’s left her with no memories of the past five years, including their breakup. No matter how good it feels to hold her, though, there’s no way he’s getting sucked into romance again. 

He’ll deliver Eliza to her mother, and that will be that. But instead of finding her mom, they’re met by two attackers and barely escape alive. Despite the danger to his life and his heart, he can’t leave Eliza to fend for herself. 

Together, they embark on a journey to reconstruct her past while evading the men chasing her. As Sam and Eliza close in on the truth, their romance reignites, but her secret threatens to destroy them both. 

Prepare to be enthralled by this gripping story of amnesia, a second chance at love, and a secret baby. Running to You is an edge-of-your-seat Christian romantic suspense set in Maine that will keep you reading all night long.
