Eloping With Emmy: A runaway heiress is leading Brodie on a lively dance through England and France. When he catches up with her the sparks will fly! Kindle Edition

by Liz Fielding (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 211 ratings
She's on the run to a wedding. He's determined to stop her making the mistake of her life.

Tom Brodie's mission - he has no option but to accept it - is to prevent headstrong heiress Emmy Carlisle from marrying a fortune-hunter.

He is not happy about it but when Emmy stows away in his car, his day goes from bad to worse. Emmy is not a woman to sit back and let things fall as they will. She has a plan and she keeps Brodie on his toes in a rollercoaster chase from the Cotswolds to the south of France.

He's more than up to the challenge, but falling in love with Emmy along the way is always going to end with his heart in pieces. A fun, lighthearted, romcom summer read.

    This is one of those stories that will make you laugh and smile throughout

    Tom Brodie has been made partner in a very prestigious law firm he has worked hard to get where is he was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but when the other partners are away Tom is called out to help with one of the top clients and is shocked by what he is asked to do he must stop a marriage that appears to be going to happen to Emerald Carlisle Emmy as she is known to most this is going to be a fun journey for Tom and their first meeting will have you laughing out loud.

    Emmy Carlisle is trying very hard to outwit her father she is an heiress and her father does a lot to keep tabs on her and stop her from getting into trouble, but when things go wrong right from the beginning of this plan, Emmy's journey is starting to be a very big roller coaster ride of ups and downs and the unwitting Tom Brodie is pulled into it.

    This is such a fun fabulous story from start to finish talk about laugh and smile as Emmy and Tom journey across the UK and France falling just a little bit in love along the way there are many scrapes that Tom has to rescue Emmy from, Emmy and Tom are so alive and real you will feel like you are there with them, truly I can highly recommend this one you will not be sorry it will bring you a few hours of total pleasure and keep you smiling tis one is a total joy to read.

    I have embarked on a challenge to read all of Liz Fieldings stories and am enjoying them immensely and lucky me I have a lot to catch up on.

    I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun read, especially the interaction between Emmy and Brodie. They were both witty, fun and too smart for their own good. I'm not a fan of the insta-love storyline, but the way these two were thrown together, I could almost believe it. I wasn't crazy about Eme's reason for chasing her "fiance". It was a poor excuse for chasing him, but I'm willing to overlook that because the chemistry between the two main characters was so fun.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2012

    This story is a delightful romp from start to finish. Emmy is a sparkling heroine who is never short of ideas and the impulsive panache to carry them out.
    Tom Brodie is the very opposite of the wayward heiress. He's worked his way up from a very different background with ambition to burn. Someone like Emmy is the last kind of girl he'd be interested in.
    Until he ends up on a road with with her and discovers that there is a whole lot of woman under the madcap society girl.
    The road trip takes them across England and France by road, rail and road, involves one stolen and one borrowed vehicle, (a brightly coloured VWBug), damage to a hired car and destruction of another vehicle. A violent storm and a violent passion pretty much round off a very enjoyable journey full of witty dialogue and well drawn characters.

    5.0 out of 5 stars i want a special name for this kind of romance
    Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I haven't known where to look for this kind of story. Under "romance" there are a lot of heavy-breathing storylines with explicit sex which are uncomfortable for me to read partly because they are so cliched and not because I am a prude. I certainly don't want to argue with all of the people who like this formula. However, I love romances with fun and wit and surprise and well-developed reasons for believing in the characters' attraction. I'm very happy to have found my first book by Liz Fielding, and I look forward to reading more of her stories. I just wish I could remember by which book-recommendation-path I found her!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Didn't care for the heroine
    Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    If you like a quirky, zany, madcap romp with a spoiled, self-centered, selfish rich girl/woman, then you will love this one. Frankly, I could not stand the heroine. Bad childhood or not, no sympathy for her.

    Tom is a young lawyer in a big firm, he gets, by default, the job of keeping Emmy from eloping with an artist that her father thinks is after her millions. It is obvious from the first of the story that she is not in love with this guy but is using him for some scheme of Emmy's. You get the impression that he doesn't care.

    She starts out breaking out of the second story of the house where her father has locked her in a room. Ok, you have some sympathy here. But she starts out stealing Tom's car. Leaving him in a restaurant many miles from London to get home on his own. She lies, cheats, you name it. No regard for anyone else or anyone's property, why bother since Daddy will pay for anything she destroys. He falls for her, WHY? I have no idea. I only wanted to choke her.

    I really tried to finish this book but I just couldn't. She was so immature that I could not see her falling for him and having anything lasting, except sex. She says she was a "child" at 18 when she tried to elope with her first "love", the one Daddy bought off and he promptly bought a new car with the money. She felt like he should have held out for more money, obviously he was as stupid as she was. However, at 23 she now knows everything. Try as I did, I just could not find one thing to like about this girl. I just gave up, she was off on another of her "madcap" adventures leaving our hero to look like a fool, and that was it for me. I just couldn't see myself really liking this chick in the time it would take me to finish the book--no matter what her reasons were. I really thought Tom deserved better!!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Charming, timeless romance
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Somewhere in Eloping with Emmy, Tom Brodie shakes his head and feels as if he's in a madcap Cary Grant film, which perfectly encapsulates the feel of this lovely story. Although it was originally written in the 90s, it doesn't feel as if the author has had to do much to update it: there is something timeless about the sparky attraction between the two characters, both vividly drawn. Don't think too much about the scenario - Emmy running away from Tom at every opportunity in order to reach the man she allegedly wants to marry before Tom does - and just lose yourself in the warmth, the light-heartedness and the romance of it all. Absolutely charming.

    Crazy plot but for once the writer is good enough to make me ignore it. The characters are strong and engaging. Credible, no of course not, but fun, like a Goldie Horne movie where it all worked out in the end. Fun read, even if it was stretched out a little too much.
