The Runaway Daughter by Lauri Robinson

The Runaway Daughter (Daughters of the Roaring Twenties, #1)

by Lauri Robinson

From stowaway…

After years of playing the local gin joint to pay off his father’s debts, talented musician Brock Ness has landed a radio gig in Chicago. Now he’s on the up-and-up, his next stop is securing the dame of his dreams, Ginger Nightingale…

…to Chicago celebrity!

If Brock is headed for fortune and fame, Ginger won’t be left behind! She may be the youngest of the Nightingale sisters, but she’s old enough to know what she wants. And Brock is right at the top of her wish list!

Daughters of the Roaring Twenties: their hair is short and their skirts are even shorter!

While the roaring twenties were fun, this novella was extremely bare-bones. The conflict was paper-thin and managed to be repetitive despite the short length, and the entire relationship seems to be built on lust and very little else.
