"Runaway Heart" by Claudy Conn

My Book Summary : For the last year, Chelsea has been sequestered away at her school that she shouldn't be at anymore, since she's almost 19 years old and she graduated last year. Now she has been summoned back to her horrid aunt Augusta (the one who left her at her school). However, Chelsea has other plans. When she finds out that the school needs to send her to her aunt, she sneaks out from the school with her best friend, Sam, to see if her trustee can help her.

Thankfully when Chelsea's trustee found out about what was happening to her he brought Chelsea's godmother, Lady Daisy--whom he had feelings for, to help. Lady Daisy agrees to take her under her wing and present her into society for Chelsea's first season. In doing so, Lady Daisy cohorts her handsome rogue of a nephew, Lord Wainwright (Brett), to help as well by escorting her around the ton.

At first Chelsea and Brett get off on the wrong foot because of her first appearance when they meet. However, soon they fall into a jovial friendship that grows over the time they spend together into something a whole lot more. Nevertheless, Brett has no plans on moving forward with his attentions because of their age difference of ten years. In addition, because Brett has always planned on keeping to his rogue ways and of never marrying. But over time, seeing Chelsea be approached by other gentleman gets harder on Brett then he originally thought. Will they be able find a way to be together or will jealous rivalries keep them apart for good?

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars, follow a wonderful story about how handsome rogue falls in love with "his brat." I loved the plot and all of the major characters (Chelsea, Brett, Sam, & Lady Daisy)!! Chelsea and Brett are so cute together! Plus, I thoroughly enjoyed all of the antics Chelsea led everyone (mostly herself) into!! Her antics were especially funny when she was helping some defenseless creature in one way or another. =0)

I recommend this novel to those who love historical romances!!

Book Teaser(s) :

“Miss Halloway.” Beau greeted her with a bow and a sweeping glance. “I am acquainted with your aunt Augusta.”
Brett Wainwright considered his friend, for this statement told him nothing of his opinion, though he fancied he knew it, and then Chelsea stunned him once again with her reply.
“Never mind—I hope you will judge me on my own, for I am not well acquainted with my aunt Augusta and cannot claim to be anything like her.”
His lordship choked and chuckled and choked some more, and he saw the open amusement alive in the Beau’s eyes. The Beau inclined his head and said sweetly, “Indeed, my dear, you are very, very different.” It was said as an obvious compliment. ~ within Chapter 7

Chelsea had the devil in her as she said, “Of the two, I like the younger Miss Breccon over her sister.”
“Chels, how can you say so! Susan ... Susan is an ... angel.”
Still driven to get a rise out of him she said, “Yes, well, angels you know are very good, but very dull ...”
“Dull?” Sam returned in outrage. “Never one moment of dullness have I experienced in her company. Peaceful, restful ...”
Chelsea burst out laughing, and his face slowly relaxed into a smile as he said, “All a hum ...”
“Yes, but a useful one, for now we know don’t we ...?”
He sighed. “She is special, isn’t she?”
“Very ... and I was teasing you as you guessed. I like her very well.” ~ within Chapter 12
