I loved the first book in this series (Rush Me), and I liked Running Back almost as much. I love how Allison Parr brings family and friends and the whole lives of her characters into her books. So many times the leads of romance novels are quite solitary, even if there’s a few scenes here and there with their friends or at work. This isn’t the case here, with family issues being an incredibly important issue to the main story.Another aspect of this book I enjoyed tremendously was the focus on Ireland and archaeology. It felt like the author knew what she was talking about with archaeology (turns out she has a degree in it!), and her passion for the subject transferred easily over to Natalie. Speaking of Natalie, I really enjoyed both her and Mike. They were interesting individually, and they were a good fit together. I liked how clear it was that they liked each other, and that they wanted to put aside work issues and be together, even when it was difficult.I really enjoy Allison Parr’s writing, and I’m already excited for her next NA novel from Carina, which will feature another New York Leopard, Abe.
