Blurb
I never imagined being a runaway bride, but here I am, putting on my running shoes, hiking up the white dress, and bolting to Europe with my veil fluttering behind me.
For once, I wasn’t going to be the agreeable, dutiful daughter who had been forced into an arranged marriage. I wasn’t going to keep sacrificing myself for my parents’ approval.
Violeta Vega, party of one, checking into rock bottom.
Running away to Europe had seemed like a good idea. It was supposed to be carefree, but my heartbreak turned the River Thames dull until whispers of an app piqued my interest. Meeting eligible bachelors across Europe wasn’t on my itinerary, but there’s no harm in swiping left and right.
Famous last words.
Ending my rendezvous by sneaking out and leaving nothing behind but a note signed “XOXO” wasn’t the magic I had hoped for. That is, until I meet three best friends who can’t keep their eyes off me—and each other.
Levi is sweet and makes Paris my favorite destination. I can’t help but want to soothe Ruwon’s deep-seated wounds as we sail on their yacht off the coast of Greece. And Matteo? As much as he can’t stand me, we can’t deny our chemistry in the French Alps. Falling for one man while healing a broken heart seems like a bad idea. Falling for three? It’s either stupidity or serendipity.
When the past I left at the altar comes back to tear us apart, I cross my heart and hope that I make the right choice.

MY REVIEW
Violeta runs away from her horrible fiancé and runs into 3 different men when she downloads an app while hiding out in Europe. Levi, Matteo, and Ruwon, and she make for an interesting quad. There's tension, though, amongst two of them while one of them is figuring out his true feelings, and between her and one of them while he decides if he can trust her, and between her and the other guy while he works out his own issues. If they can get their feelings figured out, they just might have something unconventional, yes, but truly beautiful.
The vibe and chemistry between these 4 is hot. Violeta definitely has a different connection with each man, and they in turn with her and with each other. Not all of the men are in love with each other, but they all do have strong feelings for each other, even if not all romantically and/or physically. This is a different form of a quad relationship, but it works here with the different characters. The main thing that didn't work for me was that Matteo and Ruwon didn't trust Vi near the end, and made the third act breakup worse for Vi. And though I don't normally care about this in ARC reads, the editing in my copy really needs work. There were a lot of misspelling and grammar problems that took me out of the story. I hope they'll be fixed by the time the story is released though. All in all, I like this story, but do wish there was a bit more trust between them, it would have helped solidify them as a solid quad in my eyes.
