Old Fashioned
took me by surprise. I was expecting a
light hearted romance and instead received something different. Our two main characters, Clay Walsh and Amber
Hewson, are attracted to each other and go about courting in an interesting
way. Amber has just rented the room
above Clay’s antique shop, and is not one who sticks around when things get
tough. Clay is an enigma to her and she
finds herself drawn to him despite his odd ways of dealing with women. For example, Clay insisting she waits outside
while he does a repair in her apartment. As the story progresses and we witness their
courting we begin to learn about their pasts that have put them both on the
roads they were traveling in their lives before they intersected. Besides
our two main characters, we also meet a host of secondary ones that are just as
broken and mixed up as the couple they can’t figure out. At times very heartwarming and heartbreaking,
this story also made me laugh out loud and I really enjoyed the last
chapter. It was well done and very
romantic. This book is a novelization of
the screenplay by Rik Swartzwelder. I
look forward to watching the movie by the same name when it is available on
DVD. I received my review copy from The
Book Club Network, Inc. and the opinions are my own.
