The Runaway Brides of the West series by Elissa Strati takes a different approach to the Western bride story. Instead of women who answer advertisements for husbands, these 21 heroines are running from something. Each book is titled with just the woman’s name, from Faith to Aida, and all were published in 2022.
The women have different reasons for fleeing: some escape bad situations, others leave behind broken engagements or family conflicts. What they share is the need for a fresh start, and they find it in the small towns of the American West. The men they meet along the way are not the husbands they planned for, which gives the romances an element of surprise. This is one of Strati’s larger single-year series and a good option for readers who prefer their heroines to have some fight in them.
