Declaring freedom from the internet and the
city, Paige Elliott heads for the Catskills. Opening a shop, Nothing Serious,
Paige nearly nails her hand to the wall trying to hang her sign, avoids zoning
board jail and falls for Jonathan Macklin, the antiques dealer next door. She
spots a rare portrait at an auction, and borrows money from Jonathan to buy it.
The windfall for the lost masterpiece is used to bail a local character out of
jail. When Paige can’t pay Jonathan back, he thinks the worst. She has been
treating life, her art and love as nothing serious for so long; can she change
in time to be with Jonathan?
Nothing Serious is a fun, entertaining
read, filled with likeable, quirky characters who keep the plot moving nicely
along. Paige is the kind of heroine you could share good conversation with,
over coffee and doughnuts, in the local diner. In Kanah Springs, Ms Morgenroth
has brought us a town, filled with cute festivals and unique inhabitants.
I found Ms Morgenroth to possess a smooth
sense of humour which shone through in her writing. Through the use of character
conversations, the author allows her sense of fun and comedy to reach the
reader, in a gentle and personal manner. The story follows Paige and her swift
move to a new town, where mishaps and misunderstandings seem to follow her like
a lost puppy. Throughout it all however, our heroine manages to shine.
As Paige battles her internet cold turkey
and the confines of her tiny shower cubicle, she finds it a struggle to come to
terms with life in a small town. Her attraction to Jonathan Macklin however
seems to go some way to easing her woes. But with a huge misunderstanding over
money, the reader begins to wonder if Paige will manage to turn things around
and finally get her man. If you enjoy a swift moving story line, filled with
wit and banter, then Nothing Serious is worth taking a peek at.
Put the kettle on and
grab this book.
