Kissing the wrong guy days before her wedding leads Allison to become a runaway bride. But can it also lead to happily ever after? Allison Denman is supposed to get married in five days, but everything is all wrong. The huge wedding. The frothy dress. And the groom. Still, kissing the groom’s brother, Daniel, in an unguarded moment is decidedly not the right thing to do. How could she have made such a mistake? It seems Allison’s life is nothing but mistakes at this point. Daniel’s adventures—chronicled through a collection of postcards—have always appealed to Allison’s well-hidden desire for something more. But how can betraying her fiancé’s trust lead to a true happily ever after? Can Allison find her way out of this mess? Recognizing she doesn’t have all the answers won’t be easy because she’s used to being in control. To find her way again, she will have to believe that God has a plan for her—one outside her carefully defined comfort zone—and find the strength to let Him lead.

This was most definitely not the next book I planned to finish reading. I got the message that my library had bought the ebook per my request, and I downloaded it and just wanted to peek at a few pages. Next thing I knew, I was being teased by a coworker for “texting and walking” and almost forgetting I was waiting for a take-out meal at the restaurant and (whispering) looking forward to stoplights.
For some reason these characters really clicked for me. And I loved the detail...Allison's favorite books and movies and authors (which in many instances are mine), the mention of NCIS's Gibbs and the comment about “how does he ever get the boats out of his basement?”, at which I actually chuckled aloud, since I've often wondered the exact same thing. This book also reminded me of how much I love the Colorado landscape, and how badly I need to plan for my next feast of Colorado-blue skies and hiking where the air feels so clean. It's been way too many years since I glimpsed Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods, and Estes Park. And I could almost expect to see these people when I go, they seem so real!
The only thing that bothered me about the book was the phrase about frothing a Frappuchino. Um..??? I've made my fair share of cafe drinks, and it doesn't work that way. But can you tell I liked it if I'm picking at only three words?
