This was a fun, quick read, and I appreciated that it was set in a world I knew nothing about - auctioneering! The author clearly has a great understanding of that world, and it was interesting to have the insight into it. The characters were engaging, and I enjoyed the story, although the writing style wasn't really to my taste - needed more show and less tell, and I didn't feel like there was much emotional depth. But your mileage may vary, and if you're up for a small town enemies-to-lovers vibe with something a bit different, why not give this a try?

I just started this arc tonight, because I’m so glad that my request for this arc was approved. I am really enjoying this from the first few pages of this book. I am very excited to read more of this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and publisher for the approved arc copy of my book, I can’t wait to finish reading this and full review to follow. I just wanted to let the publisher know I appreciate being approved for this arc. I may need to get myself a copy when the book is out.

Mark your calendars because this book pub date is on November 1st,2024.
