Synopsis

What happens in the stacks stays in the stacks…

Professor Victoria Reese knows an uphill battle when she sees one. Convincing her narrow-minded colleagues at the elite Pembroke University to back a partnership with the local library is a fight she saw coming and already has a plan for. What she didn’t see coming? The wildly hot librarian who makes it clear books aren’t the only thing he’d like to handle.

When a tightly wound, sexy-as-hell professor proposes a partnership between his library and her university, children’s department head John Donovan is all for it. He knows his tattoos and easygoing attitude aren’t quite what she expected, but the unmistakable heat between them is difficult to resist.

And then there’s the intriguing late fee on her record. For the Duke’s Convenience… A late fee and a sexy romance novel? There’s more to Dr. Reese than she’s letting on.

John might like to tease her about her late fee, but when he teases her in other ways, Victoria is helpless to resist. Mixing business with pleasure—and oh, it is pleasure—always comes with risks, but maybe a little casual fun between the sheets is just what Victoria needs.

This is fun read between two big book nerds- so really, what more can you ask for? For me, the parts of this book that were definitely the most successful were the main characters-- I really liked them & their dynamic. They made a really lovely couple by the end.

My last read of 2019 was this swoony and sexy Professor and Librarian romance, forthcoming from Charish Reid! Dr. Victoria Reese is tightly wound and trying to make her mark at her prestigious and mostly white University. Being a Black woman in academia brings her both fulfillment and stress. One of h......more

That was pretty cute. I had some minor issues with it but nothing that was a dealbreaker and they're issues that probably wouldn't bother a lot of other readers. (update from almost 2yrs later: I forgot to write the full review and don't remember what those issues were, but I remember this story ove......more
