heabooknerd's review against another edition

I couldn't resist a librarian themed romance since, you know, that's my job too and I found BROKEN RESOLUTIONS to be a quick, cute, and easy read. It's not very long and most of the story takes place on New Years Eve; but the story still has a great pace.
I loved seeing a library shown in a fun and accurate way and I enjoyed both Jake and Penny. They have great chemistry and their insta-lust means Penny can't resist breaking her New Year's resolution before she even has a chance to start. Fun, light, and simple is the best way I can describe this book. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

A great set-up, and fun secondary characters. But the central romance takes place far too quickly for believability—not surprising, perhaps, since this is novella-length.

I am complete trash for romance between bookish, quirky nerds... but- the attraction between the two main characters fluctuated between awkwardness, judgement, complete desire, and love multiple times within what must have been a ten hour window, that I just found myself being annoyed.
The drama of "lying about your true identity" seemed perfectly understandable and justified and not some big betrayal. The male lead seemed most turned on by how delicate and small the librarian was. And despite her insistence that he was much too smart/handsome/interesting for her, all the men seem to flock around her. It was short though and maybe the plot of the following books in the series are more believable. But this one just did not hit the mark.
