This is the second book in the Ozark Mountain Romance
series. The first book was A Most Inconvenient Marriage.
Miranda works at her family’s auction house. When a wealthy family’s painting is
accidentally sold, she feels responsible and decides to accompany her
grandfather to Missouri to get it back and save the reputation of their auction
house. Her arrival in a place that’s
much different than Boston has her second-guessing that decision. Shortly after they arrive, their luggage is
stolen by a ruffian who beats up the man who was helping them.
Miranda's first impression of Wyatt is that of the
ruffian. He’s really giving his brother
a lashing for taking his wagon, but Miranda doesn’t look at him the same at
first. When Wyatt finds out that Miranda
and her grandfather are the new owners of the “auction house” he’s been hoping
to take over, he plans on waiting them out until they head back to Boston. Unfortunately, Miranda’s grandfather wants to
change too many things, including Wyatt.
Add in the old man’s changes in personality and Wyatt’s got trouble.
These two both are on journeys to discover who they really
are and what they’re capable of. The
circumstances of Wyatt’s birth finds him always trying to prove himself. Miranda’s always been told what to do and
basically goes with it. With her
grandfather’s problems, she’s going to have to assert herself more. She’s hiding the real reason they’re in Pine
Gap from Wyatt, but she wants to trust him.
He seems to be the first person who believes in her.
This was a great book.
I loved both Wyatt and Miranda and how they not only were able to
discover more about themselves, but were able to stay true to themselves at the
same time. They learned from each other
and were able to discover that they’re stronger together. Of course there’s lots of obstacles and
misunderstandings to get through, but the story is great and the added humor had
me chuckling a few times.
While this book is the second in the series, it can be read
alone. There’s some moments in there
where you see a character from the first book, but this one stands alone. I’m hoping that there’s another book in this
series and we can read more about Betsy.
The epilogue makes me think there’s more of her to come, and I can’t
wait! Good Book!
*I received a copy of this book from Bethany House through
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
