Penny's Antique Shop of Memories and Treasures (previously published as The Antique Love) by Helena Fairfax

Penny's Antique Shop of Memories and Treasures

From Goodreads

One rainy day in London, Wyoming man Kurt Bold walks into an antique shop off the King’s Road and straight into the dreams of its owner, Penny Rosas. Kurt certainly looks every inch the cowboy hero…but he soon brings Penny’s dreams to earth with a thump. His job is in the logical world of finance – and as far as Kurt is concerned, romance is just for dreamers.

But when Kurt hires Penny to help refurbish his Victorian house near Richmond Park, it’s not long before the logical heart he has guarded so carefully is opening up to new emotions, in a most disturbing way…

My thoughts

I gave this enjoyable romp a 4 stars or 8/10.

It's not a long book and I was so engrossed in the lives of Penny and Kurt that I read it in one day. When Kurt a real life American hunk of a man who looks and dresses like a cowboy walks into Penny's shop, her head is turned a little.

Without giving away too much of the story, Penny has an eye for décor and detail. It's not long before Kurt has employed her to help transform his house into a home, giving it a personal touch. It's not long before his home isn't the only thing that she's transforming.

This was a nice quick read that was well written and while reading the Kindle version of it, there was a part of it that I wanted to quote as it just really made me think. Unfortunately, I've deleted my copy and I am not able to quote it. To be honest I am a little gutted, I can remember that it was around the 12% mark as far as I can remember. I can thoroughly recommend this story to others.

My thanks to the Author via TBConFB for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review.
