"A hopeless romantic." This is what everyone thinks Penny Rosas is. Many say it with love, but others say it with disdain. Penny thinks that passionate love is out there for everyone and when a cowboy walks into her antique shop, her heart skips a beat. The cowboy, Kurt Bold, isn't as romantic as she hoped. He's a planner and has his life all laid out in front of him step by step - and it sure doesn't include passion.
I adored Penny. Her love for antiques and history was present on every page. I loved having a leading lady with a passion for something other than guys - it really rounded here character out well. Kurt seemed a little more one dimensional, but towards the end his character really rounded out well, too. Their romance is an interesting one. Kurt wants logic and lists, Penny wants passion and romance. It takes really getting to know Penny - and a chance at losing her - before he rethinks his position.
There was a little bit of a side story that allowed Kurt to be the cowboy on a white horse riding in to save the day. It was nice to see a lot of background going on around the romance to fill the story without overshadowing our main characters. This is a great sweet romance, I'm glad it was sent my way.
