Story Garden presents THE HEART'S BIDDING, Jordan Riley Swan's debut novel--a slice-of-life family drama with a hearty spoonful of sweet romance. Kaylee Heart would rather run through a roaring fire than endure even a minute of public speaking. Put in an eighty-hour work week? No problem. Shut down her grandfather's gold-digging girlfriend? Easy peasy. Stand in front of an auction crowd and call for bids? Show her the exit. So she has no idea how Gerald, the golden-voiced auctioneer she's been crushing on at the local auction house, can find the courage to stand on stage every week, with all those eyes on him. But as cruel fate would have it, she is about to find out. Her family antique shop, the Vintage at Heart, has tripped over one financial hurdle too many and Kay is propelled, full speed, into her biggest phobia--the spotlight. With terror chasing her, she'll have to fight to keep the family business from closing forever. Even if the battle takes place in front of a live crowd...
This is a clean cute romance. I really loved the characters in this book. There is some parts of this book I felt was a little to much or did not need to be in it. Overall it was a slow moving entertaining romance between to fun characters. I really loved the characters in this book. This book was very character driven. I have never read another book like this one. I love having the characters falling in love in the auction room. I do not think I have ever read a book that took place around am auction room and had so much about auctions. I also have to say I really loved the cover of this book. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
