Publisher Description
Two years ago, independent widow Juliana Sheldon spent a blissful night with the Viscount Audlington at an inn during a snowstorm, and the next morning, he left without a word. Juliana doesn’t realize how much his abandonment upset her until she encounters him at a matchmaking house party. He’d like to rekindle their affair, but Juliana prefers to torment him instead. Until she finally surrenders to temptation—only to be dismayed when he begins to talk about the one thing she doesn’t want: marriage.
Lucas Trask, heir to an earldom, has left his rakish reputation behind in favor of finally taking a wife. He never forgot Juliana and reconnecting with her seems like fate is telling him who he should wed. However, Lucas has a secret, one he’s never dared share with anyone. If he can convince Juliana to be his wife, he’ll reveal everything. But when tragedy strikes, he must leave again. This time, the runaway viscount may be all out of luck.

No More Running
Juliana Sheldon and Lucas Trask, Viscount Audlington, met and enjoyed a night together two years ago when stranded by a snowstorm. Now they find themselves at the same house party, one intended to make matches. Lucas wants nothing more than to convince Juliana to marry him. However, since she already calls him the Runaway Viscount, it’s going to be an uphill battle. This is a delightful story with characters that are easy to like and fun to read about. There is humor, romance, misunderstanding, secrets, and a happy ending. A charming story and a beautiful epilogue, a treat.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and am voluntarily reviewing it.
Fair book but too much explicit sex
Fairly good book if it weren’t for all the sex early in the book.
Lucas & Juliana
Lucas Trask, Viscount Audlington and Juliana Sheldon met two years ago at an inn they both had stopped at due to a snowstorm. They spent a passionate night together. In the morning Lucas left without saying goodbye. It’s been two years since their night of passion. Neither one has forgotten their night of bliss. Lucas, as heir to the Earl of Northwich, he is in the market for a wife. He is invited to Lady Cosford’s country house party where there are prospective brides to be. Juliana is friends with Lady Cosford. She is also invited and believes this will be the perfect opportunity for a discreet temporary affair to last only during the house party. Never in her wildest dreams did she ever expect to see Lucas again. Lucas cannot believe Juliana is at the house party. He fondly remembers her as the Mysterious Widow. Lucas has never stopped thinking about Juliana. He wants her more than ever. Unfortunately Juliana has not been thinking of Lucas in a fond manner. She refers to him as the Runaway Viscount. She is not sure she wants to rekindle their liaison. She will not make it easy for him. She will torment him a little first. Lucas and Juliana are drawn to each other. Juliana tries to fight their attraction. The air sizzles whenever they are together. They have a hot passion that consumes. Lucas is cute when he flirts as he tries to win Juliana’s heart. They have a great chemistry. Watching them fall in love was delightful. Their back and forth banter was adorable. The author has you rooting for the couple and hoping they would be together. Lady Cosford did not interact with her guests as much as she did in the previous book. Her playfulness and camaraderie with her guests is charming. Her intricate plots to get potential matches for her guests was missed in this story. This is book three in the Matchmaking Chronicles series. This was a fun and enjoyable story. Overall the book was very good. I look forward to the next book in the series. I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
