What an phenomenal storyline that had me in fits of laughter I love nothing more then a story that has me laughing and smiling throughout. I shouldn’t of been surprised how brilliant this novel was as I’ve read many novels from her before and everyone has been brilliant I think I do have a soft spot for this story though. I loved each and every one of the character’s and I would absolutely recommend this read.

The Runaround: A Single Dad Romantic Comedy by Sylvie Stewart Five Stars
The Runaround: A Single Dad Romantic Comedy is the sixth book in The Carolina Connections by Sylvie Stewart. This series keeps getting better and better. I think this is my new favorite by Sylvie . Ari and Jax are great relatable main characters, but Lola really makes the story come together. The dialog is witty, and the chemistry is sizzling. Reading this story was a truly enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this book, series and author. Review by @sunbarn

Such a sweet, sexy, and drama filled story! I really enjoyed reading the drama that came along with Jax, his new found daughter Lola and his ex Darcy. I was nervous that Darcy was going to be and even bigger witch than she already was, and I was disappointed I didn’t get to see a real resolution to the character of Mitch. It seems like Jax and Arianna do this dance with each other around their feelings and level of attraction to each other until finally it happens. Then some hearts break, and I can fully understand why, but communication is always the best policy! The secondary characters that make up a part of the group Ari and Jax hang out with, were fun to read about and brought some comedy into the mix. I would definitely recommend giving this book a read!

The Runaround is the long awaited (at least by me!) sixth book in Sylvie Stewart’s Carolina Connections series. I am sure you are thinking she must have read all the books in the series and YOU ARE RIGHT! I absolutely love the series and though one could say that you can read all the books as standalone then I will tell you “Read the in order so that you get every minor reference and you know every single person you meet in the story!”. The Runaround gives us Ari and Jax and if you have read the rest of the series then you have met them before and like me you are gleefully sitting at the edge of your seat and ready to hit the road with them! These two make you laugh so hard you almost pee your panties, and they make you roll your eyes and then it gets way too hot and you need to turn up your AC! I love the way the writer makes us feel so close to the characters to you feel invested in the like you would with your best friends and yes, it might feel a bit too flirty with those two and you might not like that they hide their relationship from the rest of the gang, you will still keep your fingers crossed and hope for a happy ending as their story is like a rolling ocean that you cannot escape from! I truly hope that this is not the end as I am sure there are many more Carolina Connection stories hiding in Sylvie Stewart’s imagination!

The Runaround is the story of Ari and Jax. Ari has a dream of one day running her own website design business. While building up that business, she is also a receptionist and karaoke deejay. She designed the website for Jax’s company about a year ago. During the time she was working with him, they shared some flirty banter that she was hoping could lead to something…until he ghosted her. He shows up months later at the bar where she runs karaoke to ask her for help with singing lessons. However, the lessons are not for him…instead, they are for his teenage daughter that she knew nothing about.
Turns out, Jax just learned about a year ago that he has a teenage daughter. Their relationship is icy (at best). When his daughter’s mom brings up singing lessons, Jax knows just who to ask. Ari has an amazing voice and knows she will be the best person for the job. Quickly their flirtatious banter starts up again. However, Jax realizes that he must keep both his and his daughter’s feelings in mind when it comes to Ari. His daughter has been hurt by his mother’s past relationship and Jax does not want to bring someone else into his life that could lead to more hurt for his daughter.
This story is a back and forth between what the heart wants and what Ari and Jax think is best for protecting their hearts. I found myself wanting to slap the characters when they did something stupid…but wanting to hug them when they got it right. The supporting characters were interesting, and I want to go back and read their stories. It looks like some will be getting their own books in the future, so I will probably check those out as well. This is the first book I have read in the Carolina Connections series…but it will not be the last!

The Runaround was so good! I laughed, I cried, I wanted to punch Jax or shake some sense into him several times! I could hardly put this book down! It was so well written, I felt like I was right there in the story with them. Super heartfelt, Sylvie Stewart did a great job showing what true love feels like. I highly recommend, this book would be a great read with a nice bottle of wine!

This is book 6 in this series, and can be read as a standalone as it follows just one couple. But I did love seeing some of the previous characters in this story.
Jax isn’t a commitment guy, feelings emerge and he jumps ship. Then comes Ari, and he’s learning more about himself than ever before. He’s also dealing with being a new dad to a teenager who hates his guts. Ari is working her tail off to achieve her goal for her dream job. She’s got a habit of picking the wrong guys for her. She was hilarious and real and I loved her through this whole entire book. She was very relatable and I loved that about this writing.

I absolutely love the storyline that Sylvie Stewart created and the amazing characters that go along with it. Her characters really stand out and make an impression with their chemistry and connection but also their personalities, you really connect with them and love following their story.

This is the 6th book in the series so far and I have enjoyed every one of them. I always know that I’ll have a funny down to earth romance book when I pick up a book from this series. The characters are what makes the story amazing! I couldn’t get enough of Jax and Ari. They had me rooting for them from the beginning. As always, I am looking forward to reading more by this author and I am would recommend this Book to a friend! Happy reading!

The Runaround might be the sixth book in the Carolina Connections series. But you can read it as your first book by Sylvie Stewart like I did and want more. Ari and Jax are perfect for each other between the bickering and the flirty text you will swoon. No matter what was going on in their lives and let me tell you there was a lot going on. They seem to be each other’s calm in a storm.
Jax and Lola’s (his daughter)relationship was rocky at first but sweet and emotional that my heart broke for Lola at one point.
This book had its slow moments in the beginning but when things started to move faster I found myself unable to start reading. I loved the secondary characters, that I have to go back and find out what happened in their books because I can see more drunk girl night with lots of laughs.

The Runaround is the sixth book in the Carolina Connections series by Sylvie Stewart. It is a fun, light-hearted romantic comedy. It may be the sixth book in the series, but can be read as a standalone. But, after reading this book, you will definitely get a taste for Ms. Stewart’s stories, so be prepared to want to go back to read the other books in the series, too. I loved the funny, flirty banter between the characters. It really made the story for me. Jax and Ari certainly give, and get, The Runaround- and I enjoyed following along for the ride. This is a sweet, steamy, funny and very entertaining story. Such a fun read!

Jax is a guy who is in it for a good time when it comes to relationships, or in his case, hookups. He works hard and plays just as hard. He’s been hurt enough in life that the best policy is to keep up his walls, no matter what. He loves his work and has been a successful business owner for many years. He enjoys a good roll in the grass, whether it’s a quickie or sculpting! Things are great for him, but then he finds out he has a teenage daughter and everything is a game-changer. Looking for a way to connect with her on some level, he reaches out to Ari, whom he’s been hot for, for some time. He needs her to step in and help, but he doesn’t know what he’s asking for.
Ari is a woman who gets through life by being unabashedly herself. It’s easy to put up similar walls and keeping someone hanging that’s only temporary, so they can’t get settled into her life and screw up the relationships she has with those close to her. Who needs to be in love when you have music, good friends, and a good time? She isn’t afraid to let herself be free and enjoy who she is. Music is a big part of who she is and Jax knows it. She agrees to help him out, but she doesn’t know what she’s getting into either.
Together their love story goes through ups and downs, witty banter, frustrations, attitude problems, desire, laughter, and of course anger are all part of the journey. I loved that with this story there was focus on a single parent and what it takes to uproot your life, change it up and accept changes. I felt for all three of them as they navigated their roles in each other’s lives. Through it all it was incredible to see how hard they fought for each other, they didn’t just roll away and give up. It’s a beautifully written story that holds your attention for a long time!

THE RUNAROUND: A Single Dad Romantic Comedy (CAROLINA CONNECTIONS BOOK 6) By SYLVIE STEWART
5 Stars
What a perfect title for this book LOL I don’t know if Ive ever wanted to slap 2 people more than the two in this book. They made me laugh, they absolutely ticked me off, and I fell in love with both of them. This author never disappoints, I know as soon as I pick up one of her books that I need to be ready because you never know what will happen next, or what will make you crack up next.
This was an awesome story made even better with the friends and families, it’s been a long time since I read book 5 and I was a bit fuzzy on some of the characters but a lot of it came back and what didn’t, didn’t matter it was still simply amazing!
You can read this as a stand alone with no problem, but trust me when I say the books that come before it are worth every second of your time.
OMG some of the conversations in this book, and the pet names for lack of a better word literally had me dying..
I can not wait for more from all of these characters and after reading this I want to go back now and read the others all over again!

Yes, yes, yes!! I won’t lie I live for Sylvie Stewart’s spicy romantic comedies, especially her Carolina Connections series. The RUNAROUND is the sixth book in this series and believe it or not, they just keep getting better and better. I believe that with these you could read them out of order or one, but being so good why not dive in from the beginning and follow some wonderful new friends as they navigate this messy thing called life.
In THE RUNAROUND we have the story of Ari and Jax, both strong and witty characters, and the adventure that is their lives to devour. I loved how this book took what is sometimes a typical romance trope and beefed it up so to speak. This made things so much more believable and realistic, almost feeling as if I was reading a real life story and right there with the characters. I won’t give much more details than what is already given to us in the blurb because I can’t bear to spoil this book for you, but I can promise you won’t be disappointed that you read it! I can’t wait to see what we will get next from the ever so talented Sylvie Stewart!

The Runaround: A Single Dad Romantic Comedy by Sylvie Stewart is the sixth book in the Carolina Connections series. This is a fun, romantic series and this installment did not let me down. The series can be read as a standalone, but I think better enjoyed as a series. This time around the story focuses on Jax, a single dad to a teenage daughter and Ari, a seductive songstress. I always enjoy the dialogue in this series and this one is great also. I also enjoy the lightheartedness of the series. This is always a little get away to read a Sylvie Stewart book.

The Runaround: A Single Dad Romantic Comedy (Carolina Connections Book 6) by Sylvie Stewart. From page one I knew I was going to love this book. Jax and Ari are characters I won’t be forgetting any time soon, I was drawn into their story immediately. Each one has life throwing them for a curve but they handle it as well as they can. I definitely had times where I was laughing out loud and times when I was a bit more emotional with their story. It’s a well written story, paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. If you’re looking for a great story with characters you can connect with I highly recommend this story. Five stars all the way.

This author has done it again! She has the sassy, snarky, fun loving characters down to a T. This is one of my favorite series. I love these characters. I thought I had this book figured out but then a 14 yo dropped in and woosh….everything changed. Great Story!
There is an array of funny fast talking scenes. My favorite is the fortune telling texts between Ari and Jax. I also have many passages highlighted. Words of wisdom and other amazing thoughts by the characters.
I loved seeing all the characters from this series. They still make me laugh with their antics. It’s always a good time reading one of these.

The Runaraound by Sylvie Stewart is the 6th book in the Carolina Connections series. I am new to this author and I am IN LOVE! I love her style of writing. She has a way of making the characters really come to life with their emotions and quick wittiness. I was hooked on this story from the moment I started this book until the very last page. Ariana was an amazing character all together and I loved her throughout the whole book. She is very strong and quite humorous. I felt the strong connection between her and Jax. I felt his frustration with his newly discovered teenager. I feel as if this book couldn’t have been any better… it was written perfectly. I will be honest and say that I have not read the other books in this series. However after reading this one, I’ll be going back and giving them each the love and attention that they deserve.

The Runaround: A Single Dad Romantic Comedy by Sylvie Stewart is the sixth book in the Carolina Connections series. This book can be read as a stand-alone. Whenever I pick up a book by this author I know I am going to enjoy it. This book however blew my expectations out of the water. I loved Ari and Jax. The connection between them was fantastic. I laughed along with them, a found myself getting choked up a time or two. They really made me feel like I was on their journey with them. I loved the story as well: it felt different to most other single dad stories I have read recently. It was entertaining and well written. This book ticked all the boxes for me and I will definitely be going back to read the rest in the series.

The Runaround: A Single Dad Romantic Comedy (Carolina Connections Book 6) by Sylvie Stewart is a sweet romance story. Where the man has so many flaws but they make him that much more lovable. I was in fits of laughter as I read this but there were just as many heart felt moments. It is a well written and fun story that makes for a great read. Sylvie’s stories always make me smile so it’s a no brainer when her books come along. I loved the banter between the characters and the flirtation were so entertaining. Strong and independent with lots of sass and his flirting charm will get under your skin.

I loved this book from page one. You always know within the first 2 chapters in your going to love or hate the book. I should’ve known before I started reading that I was going to love it. Sylvie Stewart has had me hooked from the first book I’ve read of hers. I can add this to my list of faves by her.
Jax finds out he has a daughter but she isn’t a young little girl. She’s a teenager! How do you expect a teenage girl to react finding out she has a dad whom she has never met before. Jax keeps trying but, Lola wants nothing to do with him.
Jax reaches out to Ari who he knows thru mutual friends. Ari has an awesome voice and becomes Lola’s voice teacher. Jax knows getting Ari involved could be risky because there is a lot of sexual tension between them. Ari worked on creating a website for Jax last year and it was a miracle he got thru it without throwing her down.
Ari and Jax try to be friends but they both imagine more happening between them. What will happen when they slip up and give into temptation? Will it be a one time thing like Jax is used to or will he not be able to get enough. How will Lola react? Will Lola ever see Jax as her dad or will she always have the teenage attitude? I felt bad for Jax throughout the book because he tried hard to get to know Lola but she blamed him for not being around even though he had no idea about her until that phone call from her mom.
I look forward to more books by this author. I love her work. You don’t want to skip by this great read. Grab your copy today.

I love the way Stewart writes and am so glad this book landed in my library. I found myself laughing out loud at times with the characters and the dialogue. I felt like these were people I knew and I was excited to read how things would develop. Clever and witty, Stewart is a go to when you just want a well written book. Loved it.

The Runaround was a great 5 star read and book six in The Carolina Connections series.
Ari is a very busy woman with a lot of goals. She isn’t looking for any type of relationship. One night while DJing for Karaoke night she sees Jax. She had helped him a while back with his website and he is very hot. She is surprised when he approaches her and asks her for a favor, he would like her to give singing lessons to someone.
Jax was surprised with the news that he is a father. He is trying to build a relationship with his daughter so he gets her singing lessons with Ari. Ari is someone that he is very attracted to, but the timing is very off for any type of relationship for him. As they spend more time together, things start to change between them. They try to keep things a secret from their friends.
How long can they keep it a secret? Can these two get their lives straight and have something together?
Overall I really enjoyed this read. All of the secondary characters were great, I really liked Ari’s family. It was interesting to watch how their relationship developed and the direction it went. I’m really enjoying this series and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

I have read all of the books in this series, this one is my favorite yet. One of the things I enjoy most about this series, this book included is how the author is able to mix humor into her romance. Her characters bring the story to life with the connectivity and their chemistry. Ari is a woman who thinks there are more important things to life than romance. Jax is a single dad who has everything under control until he meets Ari. What fate has instore for them neither one will see coming. I highly recommend their story.

The Runaround: A Single Dad Romantic Comedy (Carolina Connections Book 6) By Sylvie Stewart 5 out of 5 stars
The story The Runaround: A Single Dad Romantic Comedy (Carolina Connections Book 6) by Sylvie Stewart is a wonderful book to read. It is a story that had me laughing one moment and with misty eyes the next. I loved reading about the characters of Ari and Jax. Ari is a woman with a plan. She has goals and doesn’t have time for a serious relationship. She also believes that boyfriends are a pain to the head. She wonders what it is about Jax that has her changing her mind? Jax is a man who doesn’t do relationships. He has just found out that he has a teenage daughter. He also is finding out that he is having feelings for Ari that are unlike those he has had for other women. What does the future hold for Ari and Jax? Will Jax be able to build a relationship with his daughter? Will he act on his feelings for Ari? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I came to care about what happens to Jax and Ari with each chapter that I read. I wanted them to find happiness. There are familiar characters from the other books in this series. I enjoyed reading about them and how they interacted with Ari and Jax. Don’t miss out on a story that will pull you in from the beginning and won’t let you go until the final page. I highly recommend this book. I would also recommend reading the other stories in this series as they are just as wonderful as this one.

The Runaround by Sylvie Stewart a flirty four-star read. This is number six in the Carolina Connections series and they can be read as stand-alone but honestly they are so much fun I would advise to read them in order as they do build form each other and they show us the talent that Sylvie Stewart has as a writer. Ari you have a drive that not many would, that made me smile so much, and she just made me feel like I had some get up and go just reading her story. Jax is a confusing character but when you read his story you start to see why. This was a great story, about timing issues and also worry about others, and overthinking, we all have these in our lives and I think that’s why you will be able to identify with something in this story and that will make this a great read for anyone.

ARI: I’ve always said boyfriends are like martinis; they’re lots of fun at first, but the longer you indulge the bigger headache they’ll give you. With career goals to crush and more than a few balls in the air, there’s no place in my life for the messy complications of love. Jax Crosby thinks he can tempt me to lose control and he’s using his daughter to reel me in. He’d be dangerously easy to fall for, but there are more important things in life than love, aren’t there?
JAX: I like to stay two steps ahead; that way, I’m never surprised. But even I didn’t see this one coming. Congratulations to me—I’m a freakin’ dad. Now I’ve got a teenage daughter who hates me, an ex who wants to cut things off my body I’m not ready to part with, and an attraction to a curvy songbird that couldn’t have come at a worse time. But I’ve never met a situation I couldn’t handle, and I’ve never let a female get the best of me. So why do I have the feeling Ariana Amante might be one more thing I never saw coming?

Game Changer by Sylvie Stewart is a funny and good read that had me wanting more and more. Poppy and Mac are complete opposites but so belong together. While reading about them, there were times that I laughed, wanted to scream and smack them, but overall I swooned and fell in love with two great characters and a story line that I loved. I found this to be the perfect combination of Wit, drama, and HOTNESS! This was my first book by this author and I will say it will NOT be my LAST! I was held from the beginning and until the end and left me longing for more and more. I give this book five stars and HIGHLY recommend!
Small town girl..big city boy. One open emotionally the other is closed. One silly and the other is Intense. Can they ever match? This was a slow starter for me. I understand why later it’s because the author has a lot of setting up to do for the end of the book. That’s where thing really got happening. It all seemed to come full circle. Poppy’s job and Mac’s job. Poppy’s family and Mac’s family. Poppy’s friends and Mac’s friends. Look who is matching now!
This is listed as a romantic comedy but I honestly didn’t feel it was. There were a few times but mostly it seemed darker and more serious. That could be attributed to the male lead. He is a alpha male who is dark and broody. She refers to him as a dragon or King Kong multiple times. He says he doesn’t have a word limit a day but between you and me…I think he does. So getting his story out of him is like pulling teeth.
I enjoyed the sister, Iris, and a co worker, Naveed of Poppy. They both added some flair to the story. Even Bunny, Bobby Lee and Cookie were some nice additions.
This isn’t my first book by this author. I love her Carolina Series. This just seemed to reach quite that high. The story was good and the characters had growth. The author did a good job relaying the intense attraction the two MC’s had for each other. I was saddened and irritated a few times while reading. Then I did get that big “O” of shock. I didn’t see that coming. This is a good story to me though not a rom com
