I thought I’d like this because of the sexy librarian trope but this is not worth the read. Olivia Dade has much better works. The insta-love had zero chemistry and I can’t get over them having sex on top of a bed of stuffed animals covered with a tablecloth. 

I gave it a fair shot but I just couldn’t bring myself to finish it even though it’s so short. This one should have been a wattpad exclusive.

85 pages doesn’t give you a lot to work with, so yeah, falling in love over the course of one night seems reasonable. Except, it doesn’t really read as reasonable. It reads as ridiculous. Good library jokes though. Nice literary references. Pretty meh over all.

this was a funny totally unrealistic fantasy romance novella written by a librarian. and right now the kindle edition is free. it's also on Overdrive...if your lib has purchased it. it's very short so the instalove and sex happens very quickly. also has the annoying miscommunication conflict that so many romcoms use. really an apology plus an explanation and all would be forgiven...eventually.

had a preview for book 2 (novella really) and based on the 2 chapters seems to be just as funny and instaloving.

This novella started out promising. I enjoyed the author's voice and the interactions between Penny and Angie and between Jack and his mother. I couldn't stand the instant love between Jack and Penny. I didn't buy it at all. There was no chemistry. Plus sex on a bed of stuffed animals in the children's section of a public library, even if covered with a tablecloth, is just wrong and not in a good way. I do still want to check out the next book in the series since Angie seemed like such a great character.

I found this to be a really short and sweet romantic novella! I was rooting for Penelope and Jack the entire time I read it, and it is a great story to read at New Year's! The cast of characters was quirky and interesting as well, but what really got to me was the fact that there wasn't a lot of resolution at the end of this story. Never mind the fact that they fell in love entirely too quickly to be believable! It's a good story, and one I would recommend to others if they're looking for a quick read to celebrate New Year's, but not entirely sure it is worth keeping.

This was so darn cute! I want a library like Battlefield library, where they host sexy single's night with interesting and fun games. And added bonus was the male MCs Mom, Brenda. What a hoot! She was just thee best! A quick and fun read that I totally enjoyed.

I'm a sucker for anything featuring a librarian.
