This one sounded good. When I started to read the first free pages, it was cute. And then something clicked, and it was also like porno cheesy. A little too much. Plumber fixing the pipes? I mean, it was a little over the top.

Oh man, it sounded good but I just couldn’t finish this one. It took me days to get this far. It was getting really silly with a heavy side of cheesy. My rolling eyeballs almost feel out of my head. I tried to give it a fair shake but I’m sorry, this one was so not for me.

Lexie Kosta is the newly hired small beach town librarian. She's working tirelessly to get her B&B in shape after purchasing the run down cottage on the lake. And she isn't your normal prim and proper librarian, underneath she longs for the passion and the kink she reads in her BDSM fantasy books.
Joe Van der Meer is looking to expand his business and a simple trip to the library has garnered much more than a book. He stumbles upon Lexie as she's reading and it definitely gives him ideas. When an emergency throws them back together the chemistry is hot enough to boil water But do they both have the same goals in mind or is it just a way to get some kinky times in the bargain?

Hysterical!! I cringe when I read the words cute in a review but this book was just so damn cute.
Lexi the new girl comes to town as a librarian and has totally revamped and cleaned up the small town library. She's bought a lakeside home which she's been working on herself and wants to open a B&B. The library is usually quiet so Lexi passes the time reading some pretty heavy duty "romance" novels. On this day a mans voice interrupts her focused reading, she looks up and has to pinch herself the man is hot. Where did he come from, why hasn't she seen him before and how did he sneak by her? He needs help finding a book. He teases her about the subject matter. When she asks about why he needs the book, he explains he's a plumber and wants to expand and needs help writing a business plan to get a loan to expand his business.
Later that night after spending hours into the late evening stripping wallpaper Lexi has no water. Not only no water but discovers a massive leak. Calling every plumber in the phone book, she gets no response except one. The answering service assures her that the plumber will be there that night.
Who shows up? Joe, the plumber from the library. Out of character for her, she'd flirted with him earlier and he playfully went along. When he shows up, it's serious business, Lexi's got a bad leak and Joe stems the problem for the night promising he'll be back in the morning to further assess and get all the kinks worked out. Kinks. Yes indeed.
Seriously these two made me laugh, the playful nature, the sex rolled off the pages and Joe was not a bashful man, and he made Lexi feel great about herself. I loved the playful, witty dialogue. It's a quick and easy read and so light hearted. What a refreshing change to have a fun, playful book with two perfect peas in a pod. I loved it

Lexie Kosta moves to work at a small town library and has yet to meet any men until plumber Joe Van der Meer walks in on her reading a racy book. He plans on going back to ask her out but is called to an emergency leak at her house. It does what it says on the tin, nice enough. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
