"Runaway Romance"
​by Miralee Ferrell

​When a reality TV star meets the reality of life, will it be her downfall or her salvation?
Ann Stanway had it all—a starring role in a reality show, an adoring boyfriend, and a sparkling future with limitless possibilities. Until the rules changed and the life she’d thought was real no longer existed. Leaving L.A. seems like her only option, and she lands in Kentucky at a quiet Amish inn—as far removed from her past as possible. Now she knows what was missing in her life–peace, true friendship and, dare she hope, a man who accepts her for who she is–or at least who he thinks she is.
Hunter Lewis is intrigued by the new woman staying at his friend’s Amish inn. Annie appears to be what she claims, but she’s secretive and won’t open up. He’s been burned by a woman before and can’t tolerate deception. But his interest in Annie is growing, and the attraction seems to be mutual—until something happens that makes Hunter question everything he’d thought was real. Dare he risk his heart, when he’s certain Annie is keeping secrets?
Can their new romance withstand the pressure, or will Ann choose to run again?
*****************************************************************************
Have you ever watched a movie because of a book or instead of reading the book the movie is based on? Well I must admit that I was interested in reading this book because I saw the preview for the movie a couple of months back. The preview intrigued, but then I found out that the movie was not airing until next year. So when I was given the opportunity to read the book, I jumped at the chance. The story is very well written (although a tad predictable at times) with many interesting characters. What I enjoyed the most was the faith aspect of the book and the lessons that we can learn from this book. Just as the characters needed to learn to depend on God and to trust Him for everything, we need to do so as well. I cannot wait to watch the movie coming out next year. I just hope that it does justice to the book.

I received a complementary e-book copy of this book from Celebrate Lit in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.


ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Picture
I love life, love my family, love writing Christian fiction–reading, riding my horse and puttering in my garden are all ways I relax. I often have my little 7 lb Chihuahua, Lacey, on my lap when I’m working–there’s nothing like a warm ball of love on your lap to act as a stress reliever!
First and foremost I’m a child of God and daughter of the King. I’ve been involved in women’s ministries for years, I’m married to a wonderful man, have two grown children, two cats, two dogs, 10 chickens and ride my son-in-law’s Arabian mare since my old mare passed in 2013. We live about 9 miles from the nearest town on 11 acres, in a peaceful setting surrounded by trees.
I started writing shortly after I turned 50, and discovered I loved it so much I don’t want to stop. I have 15 novels out & a five book set of horse novels for middle-grade girls. I write both women’s contemporary fiction, historical & contemporary romance, and horse/mystery novels for girls. One of my Western romances, Love Finds You in Sundance, WY, was awarded the Will Rogers Medallion for Western Fiction, three books have been optioned as movies, and several books have been on the ECPA best seller list.

GUEST POST FROM THE AUTHOR
In the spring of 2015, I received an email from a Hollywood producer, followed by a phone call. Imagine my surprise when she asked if I’d be willing to write a book for them. They were no longer producing the Love Finds You books into movies and were working on a different project for UP TV, a possible three-movie series, and she hoped I might be able to work with them. She explained that she’d optioned Love Finds You in Sundance, Wyoming, two or three years earlier, and loved it. Of the thirty-five or so titles she’d read of the line, that was her favorite. However, UP TV didn’t want to make historical or old west movies, so she’d shelved it for now.
During that time period, I’d gotten my rights returned to all of my LFY books and had retitled them Finding Love in Last Chance, California, Finding Love in Tombstone, Arizona, and Finding Love in Bridal Veil, Oregon. Sundance became Outlaw Angel, and all four are still in print.
Here’s the amazing part. I came very, very close to turning down that contract offer with Summerside for Sundance. I was disappointed in the advance and royalty rate, and shortly after they released it, they sold the line to Guideposts, and that company didn’t continue the line much longer. Understandably, sales waned on their final releases, and I was disappointed with my sales from that final book as my others had done quite well. For a long time, I wished I hadn’t taken that contract and instead held out for one with another company for a three-book series. However, had I done that, I doubt Runaway Romance would ever have been written. It was Sundance that grabbed Chevonne’s attention and caused her to contact me. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Thanks so much for allowing me to be a part of the blog tour. I really enjoyed your books in the Love Finds You Series, and was really excited to read this one. I can't wait to see the movie. I wish that UpTV would have kept the Love Finds You movies going though, as I was really enjoying those. Can't wait to read what you have in store for your readers next. Have A Wonderful Day!!!

Stephanie, I so appreciate your reply, thank you! It's great to know you've read my LFY books...all four? Cool! Yes, I wish they'd continued, as well, but you never know what might happen in the future. :-) The next book will be Sarah's story...the Amish woman in Runaway Romance, coming next summer.
