This book was full of comedy, mishaps, and historical situations. You can probably tell that by the cover. It is definitely a romance novel but the characters are so fun and lively that I didnât mind. I donât tend to like serious romance novels, but instead rom-com. This is the second book in the series and you will not get confused if you start here. However, I encourage you to start with book 1 anyway!
The main character, Miranda, is definitely a city girl and having to learn the âmountainâ culture is very hilarious! While I mentioned the non-serious romance, that doesnât mean there isnât some serious themes at the grandfather has Alzheimers. But that is handled with great sensitivity.
Small Summary:
After helping her grandfather at their Boston auction house, Miranda Wimplegate discovers she’s accidentally sold a powerful family’s prized portrait to an anonymous bidder. Desperate to appease the furious family, her grandfather tracks it to the Missouri Ozarks and makes an outlandish offer to buy the local auction house if they promise not to sell anything until he arrives.
Upon their arrival, however, they discover their new business doesn’t deal in fine antiques, but in livestock. And its manager, ruggedly handsome Wyatt Ballentine, is frustrated to discover his fussy new bosses don’t know a thing about the business he’s single-handedly kept afloat. Faced with more cattle than they can count–but no mysterious painting–Miranda and Wyatt form an unlikely but charged partnership to try and salvage a bad situation getting worse.
