The Antique Love was a pleasant surprise.I wasn't quite sure what to expect and what I found as I continued to flip the pages, diving into the story and characters, was a beautiful tale of sweet unexpected love. It was an easy to read, light, clean read. I really enjoyed the author's easy writing style. The plot flowed well and each time I picked up the novel to begin reading, I fell into a sort of relaxed state.Penny & Kurt were great characters. Penny, being the hopeless romantic, and Kurt, the person who works everything out logically rather than emotionally... He keeps a distance between himself and emotional attachment. He's seen "love" burn and he doesn't plan on ever getting burned. They contrasted each other well and their encounters were always entertaining and some were quite heartwarming. Penny is very real. She's not the perfect shape by today's standards and she's very insecure. I was able to relate to her and enjoyed having a character who isn't described as having the perfect, slim, or fit body... LOLNow, I'm totally not one for antiques, but even I was drawn in when Penny's passion came flowing through the pages. Me, I could care less about picking out the furnishings for a house, but again, I loved it as they went through the process for refurnishing Kurt's new home.Oh! The love trinket that Penny kept her eye on and was determined to only sell to someone who was truly in love... LOVED that little tid bit in the story :)Overall, this was a great, easy paced, clean romance.
