Hearts on Hold by Charish Reid
Goodreads Summary:
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.
My Review:
This was a sweet story about a professor and a librarian. I felt like the book was longer than it needed to be, and I found myself having to force myself to continue reading. However, it was a cute love story, and I loved the way it ended. I appreciated that the ending wasn’t a super quick happy ending that lasted a couple paragraphs. It took it farther than that, and I appreciated it. I loved all of the other characters as well. Their family and friends were an important part of the book, and I liked how well we got to know them.
