Love on the Run: A heart-warming romantic comedy Kindle Edition
Ten years after their divorce, this is the first time Hannah’s ex-husband has had the kids for more than a weekend. Her calendar is gloriously blank, ready to be filled with some self-care time.
That is, until Hannah’s BFFs push her to join them in a charity race for which she’ll need to start training—after all, she’s not doing anything else.
And her mum nags her to have Aunt Dorothy over for a visit.
So much for me-time . . .
However, Hannah’s not in tip-top shape, and running is a challenge to say the least. Maybe Gabe, the nice-looking personal trainer, can help with that? The more Hannah struggles, the more determined she becomes. But then Hannah is tripped up when she finds out Gabe has a shocking secret. Does this mean he will be out of the running for a place in her heart?

She spends the first week cleaning and grocery shopping, and has a scarily clean house, more food than she'll be able to use before it goes bad, and nothing to do. Her friends, Liv and Mel, coax her into signing up for a charity "fun run," a 5K. She almost immediately regrets it, but it's not easy to back out.
Her mother bulldozes her into taking her Aunt Dorothy for a few weeks, because she's lonely and depressed with the recent death of her husband, Denis, and Janice (Hannah's mother) currently has her house in an uproar with renovations. Hannah has time on her hands... Hannah flatly refuses.
Then she accidentally runs into a guy named. Literally runs into. Twice. The first time, she hurts her ankle. Second time, they both get scraped and bruised. The first time, Gabe helps her home, and they get there to find Janice and Dorothy have just arrived, and of course are inside.
Hannah's fate is sealed, in so many ways. The one she's absolutely not going to succumb to is the suggestion that she and Gabe would make a nice couple.
Hannah and her friends commit to the "fun run," and Dorothy becomes their "team leader." Liv's boyfriend, Quentin, says he has a friend who's a personal trainer, and might willing to work with them. Of course it turns out to be Gabe, and Hannah is in for a month of pressure from her friends, Dorothy, and her own hormones.
Meanwhile, her friends have challenges of their own. Liv's boyfriend, Quentin, is a vegetarian; she's a meat-eating farm girl. He's encouraging her to get involved in some of his climate change activism. Mel's boyfriend, Russel--well, she's never actually met Russel, except online. Her friends are worried for the obvious and sensible reasons.
In France, the kids are learning and growing, but they're always astonished, when Hannah during their video calls, turns out to know things they had no idea she knew. Which is basically, anything not related to being a mother. Monica is proving to be a remarkably positive influence on the children, and possibly Carl. After the last ten years of Carl's revolving girlfriends, she finds herself actually liking this one.
These are fun, likeable characters, with strengths and weaknesses and a willingness to grow and learn. Dorothy is a hoot and a joy, and Gabe's father, Roger, though we see less of him, is also wonderful.
Hannah gradually realizes she needs to stop being a full-time mom, and uncover her own identity again.
It's just a lot of fun.
I received a free electronic galley of this book from the publisher via Rachel's Random Resources.
Love on the Run by Suzie Tullett is a laugh out loud hilarious Rom Com that kept me engaged from start to finish. In this book we meet Hannah, 10 years post-divorce, her ex-husband is taking the twins for more than a weekend. Hannah’s calendar is gloriously blank and she’s ready to fill it with self-care time and decompressing.
When her BFF pushes her to join them in a charity race, she realizes she needs time to train. While her mom wants her to visit with her Aunt Dorothy. It leaves little “me time”. Insert Gabe (the hot personal trainer) who may just be able to help her out. Finding out his Gabe’s secret throws Hannah off and has her wondering where things stand.
This book is well written and filled with an eclectic cast of characters that is hard not to fall in love with. Their personalities are well established, and I found myself rooting for Hannah to find her second chance at love. Her BFF is hilarious, and their dynamic had me laughing so hard I cried! The description were spot on and immersed me in the story and not wanting it to end.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who loves a lighthearted, second chance at love book. This one won’t disappoint, and I look forward to reading more from this author.
This was a sweet romance.
I enjoyed every minute.
I will definitely read more by this author.

Hannah’s not the only character trying to decide whether or not to embrace change; her struggles are echoed by her endearing support team comprising close friends, the delightful Aunt Dorothy, and, not least, by Gabe, Hannah’s personal trainer. There’s a lovely, thread about loss, grief and trust issues which Suzie handles with great sensitivity and empathy to show that the lives that we didn’t choose for ourselves can sometimes set us on a new and equally rewarding path.
Love on the Run is a warm, uplifting read which is certainly a winner with me.
I also thought Gabe, her love interest, was very likeable indeed - ha!
