Book 801: The Little Library – Kim Fielding

Geoff W

What a lovely little novel. I grabbed it from the library after reading Teddy Spenser Isn’t Looking for Love and it was a fun read as spring slowly approaches in Boston.

I obviously picked it up because of the title and was so happy the little library played such a big part, including one of the final scenes that totally had me tearing up!

The Little Library is the story of Elliott, a recently scandalized former professor trying to build back his career, and Simon, an ex-cop trying to figure out what to do with his life after a bullet to the knee forced a career realignment. Clearly, they’re going to fall in love and the library is going to play a part, this is a romance novel after all.

Book 791: Fall Through Spring (Winter Ball #3) – Amy Lane

Geoff W

And this just goes to show what happens when you have to eat your words. At the end of my review for Summer Lessons, I said I wasn’t sure Dane and Clay needed their own story and Lane proved me wrong for the most part.

I still wonder how all of this happened when Mason and Terry were getting together, but I guess Dane did disappear for large swaths of the books. The one scene that really gets me though was when Skip called Clay out during a heart-to-heart when they were eating lunch with Mason. Clearly things were a lot further along at that point than it appeared in book two!

Book 789: Summer Lessons (Winter Ball #2) – Amy Lane

Geoff W

After finishing Wolf Hall, I knew I was going to need a bit of a breather and where else to turn but the next book in a romance series I’d already started and the library just happened to have?

I enjoyed this one a lot more than the first one, it had a lot more humor, but it also brought to light a few more things about Lane’s writing setting that I’m not so sure I’m a fan of. There’s just one aspect of these books that has forced me out of the story at key plot points and that is NEVER a good sign.

Book 785: Lonely Hearts (Love Lessons #3) – Heidi Cullinan

Geoff W

What was missing from Heidi Cullinan’s Love Lessons series? A fake boyfriend romance, so of course that’s what she provided and I soaked up in the third installment Lonely Hearts.

Picking up immediately after Fever Pitch, Cullinan dives right into the story of Elijah, the jaded and toying with the lines of addiction and safe sex roommate of Aaron from the last book, and Baz, life of the party big man on campus, but hiding a soft inside with a heartbreaking backstory.
