“You need to work on your approach, buddy. The dog cocked its head, its tongue lolling to the side as it stared at her. “Are you the one who took me out?” she asked the dog as she climbed to her feet. A black Great Dane Wiggled happily in front of her, the white blaze on its chest bobbing back and forth with every energetic hop as it stared at her with what she swore was a self-satisfied smile on its face. Her heart raced as she tried to see what had run into her, but she did not need to look far as a large tongue licked up the side of her face, leaving a slobbery trail from her chin to her hell. She swore loudly in surprise as she went down, dropping the clothes she had been holding as her hands scraped over loose gravel in a painful attempt to cushion her fall. It is a lovely read and well worth it if you want a sweet romance that is not too dramatic and will have you longing to visit the small town where they live and visit the bookstore just so you can meet the characters. It’s a gentle read, don’t look for too much angst here. I like the writing style and the story was charming. If you enjoyed her other novels you will enjoy this one. The women get together early on and then have a fair amount of happily ever after before something else happens and they need to deal with it together. The pacing is good, and the story arc was typical of Duncan. The Writing Styleĭuncan has a great writing style. I enjoyed both main characters as well as their friends and family. I like the way Duncan writes her characters, it is easy to remember who she is talking about and the characters have distinct personalities. I adored her and was devastated by what happened toward the end of the book. George, the Great Dane, was my absolute favourite. Through Atramentum, the bookstore, and a run in with a delightful Great Dane Joss’s life changes forever. She doesn’t intend to stay but realizes that the bookstore her aunt left her might be the answer to leaving behind her sixteen-hour workdays and finding some kind of life. The book begins when she returns to Sky, Colorado for her aunt’s funeral. Joss has been an accountant since she graduated. Atramentum by MJ Duncan is the story of finding yourself when you least expect it.
