Run Darling

           


Title: Run Darling
Series: Toy Runners #3
Author: Adriana Herrera
Published: Adriana Herrera Publishing, LLC, December 5, 2023
Pages: 108
Genre: Paranormal Romance

All Arabella Gaspar wanted was to buy some fun sexy grown-up toys for her first time leading her house’s run, but after one or two—okay, a dozen—threats from Magi who don’t think a girl should be a Toy Runner (eye-roll) her overprotective brothers have stuck her with none other than Rhyne Carrasco to be her bodyguard. So what if she had a crush on him once? He’s made his feelings about her abundantly clear. And she has moved on. But she isn’t above showing the man exactly what he’s missing.

Rhyne Carrasco has one regret in his life, and her name is Arabella Gaspar. His best friend’s younger sister, the darling of the House of Gaspar, and the bane of his existence. Rhyne has kept his distance for years, running from her tempting smart mouth and delectable body. But the girl he left seven years ago is very different from the woman he’s now tasked to protect.

This Arabella is grown…and sexy as hell. Self-assurance and sensuality radiate from her, and Rhyne cannot stay away. When an accident in the toy factory keeps them in the North Pole and the same bed for the night Rhyne sees his chance to make her his. It is high time he claimed what is his, and he intends to make sure it’s forever.


I was flipping thrilled to see that Adriana Herrera was going to be adding to the Toy Runners world this year! Are you kidding? Steamy, magical, sexy Santas? Sign me up every time. But especially an age gap romance about an older brother's best friend. 

I love everything about the concept of these Toy Runner families that the author's created in this series. The concept of sharing the Santa duties is good stuff. The concept of one of the families adding adult toys into their run is yummier! 

This was super hot. Unsurprisingly. Just a spicy little jaunt through the North Pole. It was kind of surprising just how romantic it was. Rhyne Carrasco is a straight up romantic, and the date he planned for her is straight out of a dream. Even without the super steam levels this is perfect for a cold winter's night in.
