Something Old, Something New: A Sweet Contemporary Romance

By Amy Clipston

Book Overview

Sometimes treasure can be found where you least expect it.

In the decade since high school graduation, Christine Sawyer has realized her dream of opening Treasure Hunting Antique Mall, the place where shoppers find gems that are new to them. Between her store, her house, and her role as a doting aunt, she's happy with her life--if a bit lonely. But she's used to being less lucky in love than her fraternal twin sister. Britney was always the popular one, the head cheerleader who dated the homecoming king and quarterback, while Christine stayed in the shadows.

Brent Nicholson is still trying to come to grips with the shambles his life has become. After leading his football team to a state championship, he suffered a career-ending injury. Now he's lost his construction business thanks to his so-called best friend. So when his great-aunt Midge asks for his help readying her home to put it on the market, the opportunity to spend time with his biggest fan is a balm to his bruised soul.

But the antiques Brent finds in his aunt's house lead him to an unexpected partnership with Christine. After being blind to her for so many years, is it too late for the former high school jock to win the heart of the self-proclaimed "nerdy twin"?

As they shift through items of the past, Christine and Brent learn to let go of the pieces they don't want to bring into the future--and realize the value of what's in front of them today.

"Hometown charm and swoon-worthy second chances make this a must read." --Kristen Mckanagh, author of Snowball's Christmas

Romance

This is a Small Town Romance. This book never pulled me into the story. I also felt it was very slow moving which is not my thing. I just could not make myself want to keep reading this book, so I ended up DNFing this book. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
