Noelle’s getting married in three days. It’s a dream come true—for her mom. For Noelle, it’s starting to feel like the walls are closing in. She’s known for months that something’s changing—namely, her fiancé. He’s becoming someone she doesn’t know anymore. She’s tried to ignore it, but her gut’s telling her that she’s marrying the wrong person.


Nash retired from the military three months ago. He’s not in the mood to celebrate anything. He just wants to be left alone. His high school buddy’s getting married in a few days. He has no desire to go, but every time he tries to throw the invitation out, an alarm goes off in his head. For some reason, he feels like he’s supposed to be there.


It’s thirty minutes before the wedding starts. Noelle’s in her wedding dress. Nash is in his seat. The universe is trying to bring these two strangers together. Is it ever too late to meet the man of your dreams?

This book's tropes are:-
❣Opposite attracts
❣Love at first sight
❣Don't you dare to touch her
❣Grumpy x sunshine
💌This story starts five days before Christmas and Noelle getting married in two days her guts bugging her for months that it wasn't right, this was not what she wanted but she was too afraid to cancel this wedding with her boyfriend.

💌 Nash was military retired and living with its terrors when he was exploring and reached a calm and peaceful place named Blitzen Bay he knew this was the place to live so he moved in there, he had been living there for three months when his mom bugging him to go to his high school friend's marriage(not so friend BTW).
He didn't want to go there but whenever he saw the invitation he couldn't tear it and something in him nagged him to go there he wasn't sure for what.

💌 At the wedding Noelle planned to escape from her wedding and her beloved cousin helped her and she escaped and ended up in Nash's truck's trunk when they met at his truck Nash fell for her, at first sight, 🤭😍, and Noelle instantly attracted to him he was so hot and gorgeous like some greek god🤭🔥😍😉.

💌 Nash helped her escape and they reached Blitzen Bay😍💞. Noelle fell in love with Blitzen Bay and spend her Christmas there and in meantime, Nash fell for her really hard😍❣, but Noelle wanted time she didn't want Nash to become a rebound guy.🥺
💌 Next day she leave Blitzen Bay because she had to start a new life and join Law college.🥺🥺
Noelle talked a lot really a lot and she was full of energy to meet and be friends with new people she called Blitzen Bay the North Pole because it looks like North Pole 😍 beautiful town. Nash was a calm and quiet person he just wanted to be alone and so so handsome and very protective and supportive😍🔥

The Runaway Bride of Blitzen Bay is a fun, quirky, quick read! I will say it left me wanting to learn more about Noelle's and Nash's but overall, it was a pleasant, easy-to-read story.

I don't normally pick up a strangers-to-lovers book but I'm glad I took a chance. The events of Noelle and Nash coming together are unexpected but well-written and the reader is left rooting for them.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.
