At Love’s Bidding (Bethany House, December 2015)
She sells priceless antiques. He sells livestock by the pound. Is he really the man to make a bid for her heart?
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 people who could ruin them forever, they track it to the Missouri Ozarks and make an outlandish offer to buy the local auction house and all its holdings before the painting can move again.
Upon crossing the country, however, Miranda and her grandfather discover their new auction house doesn’t deal in fine antiques, but in livestock. And its frustratingly handsome manager, Wyatt Ballentine, is annoyed to discover his fussy new bosses don’t know a thing about the business he’s single-handedly kept afloat. Faced with more heads of cattle than they can count–but no mysterious painting–Miranda and Wyatt form an unlikely but charged partnership to try and prevent a bad situation from getting worse.
My take on this book:
I love historical romance and when there is humor woven into the plot well it makes the story even better! At Love's Bidding by Regina Jennings is an easy to slip into read that easily transported me into the heart of the story, and the characters. It was easy to connect with Miranda and the way that she handles the issues that her grandfather is facing was fantastic, she was so respectful and loving even when he made mistakes. Miranda was an easy to like character and the relationship that develops between her and Wyatt while a bit predictable was still enjoyable. Interesting characters and a small town setting that allowed me read about something new to me, which was an auction house made this book a quick read. Anyone who enjoys humor with their historical romance along with a faith based message will certainly enjoy reading this one.
A complimentary copy of this book was provided for review.
