SECONDHAND ROMANCE
Brothers of Audubon Springs Series
Book 2
RoseAnn DeFranco
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Comedy
About the Book:
Annie O’Malley’s dream of owning a
secondhand bookstore in tight-knit Audubon Springs is coming true. Still
reeling from her parents’ sudden deaths, she believes that signs or messages
can be found within the pages of books. She loves her job and has made plenty
of friends but longs for the acceptance only love and a family can provide.
Tony Iuliano is there to fix the
wiring in her shop. He doesn’t believe in fate, magic, or the power of a good
book. All this combined with his sexy-as-sin presence and all-knowing attitude
infuriates Annie. The quirky bookworm intrigues him enough to accept her bet to
read a book from her shop. When he discovers a stack of fifty-year-old love
letters in the book, he wants to leave the past alone, but seeing it as a sign,
Annie challenges him to read the letters and search for the long-lost lovers or
lose the bet.
While shaking the dust off several
ill-fated romances and fighting their attraction at every turn, the pair soon
become the town gossip daily special. If they can stop arguing long enough,
they may just discover this particular sign was meant for them all along.
Our Review:
Delightful! Secondhand
bookstore owner Annie O’Malley is cheerful on the outside, hurting on the
inside, and nothing short of belligerent when it comes to Tony Iuliano, the
hottest confirmed bachelor in the seaside town she’s recently made her home. But,
as a bookish mystery unfolds and lays claim to both of them, their chemistry
becomes hard to ignore as they struggle over following the clues, and unraveling
mysteries about each other.
Well written, this story
flows easily, heats nicely, and delights often. It is well worth the read, and
will put a smile on your face as it warms your heart.
Well done.
