An antique dealer and his inconvenient(ly irresistible) new colleague must contend with an illicit stuffed goose and their sizzling attraction, from USA Today bestselling author Sarah Adler.

Antique store owner Callahan Leitner has an illegal taxidermy goose in his living room.

Why? It’s…complicated.

But it may end his career unless he finds a legitimate way to dispose of the bird ASAP. Unfortunately, there’s an unexpected wrench in his plans—the frustrating, effervescent Annie O’Neill.

Annie is happy to fill in for her uncle at his antique store; it’s the perfect opportunity to gain more experience before opening a shop of her own, and to finally meet his handsome young business partner. Unfortunately, Cal is nothing like the charming man she expected. She’s tempted to take his apparent dislike personally, until she stumbles upon the source of his the contraband waterfowl hiding upstairs.

When the goose goes missing, it puts both of their professional reputations on the line. As Cal and Annie attempt to track down the bird before it can be traced back to the store, their tentative alliance turns into something much deeper. Will the hunt for their felonious fowl lead to true love, or end in ruin?

Annie is a presence. A force. She’s like gravity— a constant pull that sometimes feels more like a push when all I’m trying to do is desperately keep my footing steady until things settle down.

this place is over twelve thousand square feet with eight bedrooms and ten and a half baths. The only people I can imagine this suiting perfectly would be a very large family that frequently suffers from food poisoning.

I’m beginning to suspect that Cal has a mask of his own that he’s been wearing for so long he forgot somewhere along the way that it isn’t his own face.

I’m sort of an expert when it comes to beautiful and rare things. And there’s so much that’s beautiful and rare about you, Annie O’Neill.

My Review:

 

This was a fun, original, and lively read with a crisp and amusing writing style that kept me delightfully engaged and gleefully entertained. This was my first experience delving into the amusing wit of Sarah Adler’s clever pen, and I plan to make reading this crafty scribbler a habit. Her characters were uniquely peculiar and realistically flawed, yet endearing, hardworking, and honorable. I adored them and enjoyed their adventures.

USA Today bestselling author Sarah Adler writes romantic comedies about lovable weirdos finding their happily ever afters. She lives in Maryland with her husband, daughter, and very mischievous cat. When not working, you can find her attempting to course-correct an ill-advised late-afternoon nap with an equally ill-advised late-afternoon coffee, as she is incapable of ever learning a lesson.
