I came across romance author, Katy Regnery, through my friend’s blog. I read a few excerpts from her books and decided that, one way or another, I was going to read them.By Proxy is the first installment in the Lindstrom series. It starts off with Jenny Lindstrom (the youngest Lindstrom) doing a favor for her best friend, who is in the military, stationed a world away from her fiancé (who is also in the military). While her friend and her fiancé are stationed over-seas, Jenny (and an unknown groom stand-in) will take vows on their behalf in a double proxy marriage ceremony. Cue Sam, a sexy, well put-together man, who arrives late for their ceremony, causes them to miss their appointment…and leaves him stuck in the small town of Gardiner, MT, for the weekend.Jenny and Sam hang out and spend quality time together, getting to know each other over the span of a weekend. After they take the vows on Monday as promised, they say good-bye and find they have a hard time functioning without each other. They learn that they are truly in love and end up living happily ever after.Katy has a real penchant for writing. She has developed the characters so you think of them as real people, not just fictional characters. It is almost as if you are a fly on the wall during this budding relationship, watching it all unfold. You feel the passion, the sadness, and all of the rest of the emotions that are part of this book. It was a great read. Thank you for writing it. :)
