This was a short, fun read. Ben was an incredibly adorable character as the new-in-town archivist for the public library. Poppy was a lovable circulation clerk.

This was a super sweet, extra hot romance novella that would have you rethinking learned concepts about what to do in the library while caught in a snowstorm or better yet how to get away with being naughty in the archives! It was an enjoyable read with surprisingly well developed characters despite the length.

Love in the Stacks by Delilah Peters a new to me author. A spicy fast paced book set in a library. Enjoyable characters and storyline. It was just too short. I didn't realize it was part of a series.

A short read. The story of Poppy and Ben. He is the new recruit to the library where Poppy works. He is a bit awkward and finds it difficult to deal with people. Will he have a chance with Poppy?

This was a quick read and highly enjoyable. I wish it wad longer for recommendation, but a clear and defined plot and character development in minimum of pages was a pleasant surprise.

Delilah Peters does a great job of engaging you with her characters in just a short novella; you still get all the heat and the emotions of a full length romance.

I have read many books in this series from Carina Press and have enjoyed them immensely. This one, to be honest, didn't wow me.

I liked the characters of Poppy and Ben well enough, and I liked their banter, although Ben's scowls started to annoy me by the end.

I also appreciated the representation of neurological diversity, and Carrie's almost blithe acceptance of Ben's differences.

The main thing I found troubling was Ben's mercurial mood switches. It seemed like one minute he'd be barely engaging and the next minute he'd be all up in Poppy's business, being sexually aggressive, bantering, etc. And then the switch would flip off again and he was back to being withdrawn. It didn't seem internally consistent, or consistent with my (not limited, but certainly not expert) knowledge of neurologically diverse individuals.

Finally, I was surprised that Poppy considered Carrie a friend, as Carrie seemed like a nasty person. Decent human beings shouldn't say (or even think) some of the things Carrie said, and if I were Poppy, I'd (1) call her on them more pointedly then she did and (2) think very carefully whether she was worthy of being my friend. Who, over the age of about 8, calls another person a troll? Unacceptable.

In general, worth a quick read but don't expect it to rock your world. I realize that that is not the point of these short novellas, but this one accomplishes less than others in the Carina Press Dirty Bits series.

Ben a librarian who is shy and standoffish and gets the surprise of his life when Poppy enters in world. This story is on the shorter side but there is no lack of heat and passion. I loved the idea of a gruff librarian getting hot and heavy in the stacks! It's a classic tale that’s well written here.

I thought the characters were well fleshed out and I loved that they were complete opposites. Their tension made the story that much hotter!

The story is a standalone and fun to read. I enjoyed the HEA. This is my first from this author but not my last. I really appreciate these hot short reads that give me a recharge during my day! I received an ARC via NetGalley and I am leaving an honest review.

I really enjoyed this for what it was---a very hot sex in the library book! It definitely felt like there was some rough transitions between scenes where things moved really fast and I wasn't quite sure what happened---but look, 2 gorgeous people trapped in the library overnight? It was quite enjoyable and definitely serves up what you would expect from this series.

A steamy, to-the-point erotic novella. There was chemistry between the two leads and I liked that there was communication and consent in their interactions. Would read further stories by this author, especially if they were set in a library!

I liked this book! It was short, sweet and to the point. Plus it's about working in a library, which I do, so that was the cherry on top for me :)

Now it may have been just a tad too short for my liking, but I was just along for the ride. I loved the interaction between Ben and Poppy - how awkward he was, how forward she was, how the tension sparked between the two of them. Guy librarians are so awkward anyway, so that was a great depiction of them with Ben's mannerisms. And Poppy was very forward and went for what she wanted - not letting anything get in her way.

Any book about librarians / set in a library will get my attention, so I'm glad I enjoyed this book as much as I did :)
