As someone who has loved Meg Cabot's writing since I was a young girl, "No Offense" reaffirms why her novels have always held a special place in my heart.
"No Offense" is a delightful read of small-town charm and witty characters. The chemistry between Molly and John jumps off the page, and with a mix of mystery, this book is a sweet read.

Thank you Avon and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review!

This book, although entertaining, just must not be my "style". I read a few "romance" books per year, and usually I enjoy them. This one was just okay, and although it kept my attention, I didn't LOVE it.

The librarian, Molly, keeps getting thrown into situations (finding an abandoned baby, etc.) and keeps getting thrown together with the town's sheriff, John. Outside of these very unbelievable coincidences, it appears as though Molly wants to be an amateur sleuth, and help John (or sometimes independently investigate) what is going on on the Island. It just seems very 'story book' to me, and difficult to believe that a sheriff would allow and follow this amateur to investigate an active investigation (can you tell I'm more of a mystery/thriller/police procedural reader?)

If I overlooked some of those things, the book was fine. It wasn't super remarkable, but it was fine to listen to on my commute to work.

Thank you to the Author, publisher and Net Galley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book had me quite excited, but I didn’t ever really connect or enjoy the characters, and it was too light and fluffy.

No Offense is the second rom-com in the Little Bridge Island series by Meg Cabot. I thought this story was cute, although I think I liked the first in the series better. I like the characters in this little island town and the story is just a fun, easy read.

Meg Cabot does not disappoint with this story. Molly and Jake are fun characters to follow through all of their adventures. The author describes the island of Little Bridge perfectly, what a wonderful community to place this story in.

This was cute. I think I was hoping for a little more. I'm not sure what I was looking for, but it's okay as this book moved along for me. I hadn't read the Little Bridge Island #1 book and I don't think it was necessary - but I see where people and personalities can lead to their own installment in the Little Bridge Island series.

Moving to a small town, Molly was looking for change after an engagement that didn't work out... the town kept her busy and a chance occurrence one day left her in an exchange with the town sheriff. If you are a fan of small town romances, this was fun and sweet!

Thank you to Netgalley and William Morrow and Custom House for the review copy.

Unfortunately, this one fell flat for me. I love Meg Cabot, but this one just didn't do it. A good rom com should make you smile and giggle and want the main characters to get together in some way. I just wasn't interested in this story.

This was such a cute audiobook! I really enjoyed this one, slightly more than the first book in the series. This had depth to it and just a plot that was fun! The romance that took place was very cute. I wasn’t a huge fan of Tabby’s story line, but I appreciate how it wove into the overall narrative!

Ultimately this was my least favorite of the books in the Little Bridge Island series. I will say that part of that is likely because I was not a huge fan of the storyline of the female main character finding a baby in the restroom, and then wanting to find out what happened. I love a good mystery and that compelled me to keep going but I found it somewhat unbelievable, and struggled trying to let that go and just enjoy the read. I also found the male main character to be grumpy and gruff as we expected, but I didn't feel much to him beyond that, and I like grumpy/sunshine tropes when there are hints of the best parts of the grump under the surface. He just fell somewhat flat as a character.

Cute story that I enjoyed reading. I had not read the first book in the series but they seem to be able to be read as standalones so that worked out fine. I wasn’t captured thoroughly by the characters or plot but I was entertained so I can’t complain. I’d be willing to read more of Meg Cabot’s books but might rather try a different series.

Trying out Meg Cabot’s adult series with a librarian and cop romance?!? Not the book I was hoping for unfortunately. Lots of cringe worthy scenes and I didn’t feel the romance between the two.

While this is book 2 in the Little Bridge Island series, it can definitely be read as a standalone. I was a bit disappointed that Bree and Drew, from Book 1, didn't make more of an appearance.

This book centers on Molly, a children's librarian, and John, the sheriff. They see things from different sides which leads to banter but at times the chemistry between the two seemed a bit off and forced. Molly also came across as a bit annoying and self-righteous. As she progresses, she loses a bit of that self-righteousness and she becomes more likeable.

The mystery piece of the story added a bit more to the plot and kept me engaged though it was a bit anticlimactic. I enjoyed reading about the island and it made me miss the Keys.

Overall, it was an enjoyable, light-hearted read and was just what I needed after a rough week.

Unfortunately this one fell flat for me. While it was a quick read and reminded me on a Hallmark mystery movie I just couldn’t connect with the characters. The story was kind of jumbled and predictable. But it did have its funny moments.

I was intrigued by the plot of this story featuring a librarian working on solving a mystery with the sheriff she just met. I was disappointed however by the lack of character development and romance scenes without substance.

No Offense is the second book in a series set on Little Bridge Island, but each book can be read alone with the only commonality of each book being the setting itself. This one features Molly, the new local children's librarian, and John the Sheriff. The story is told from the alternating 3rd person POVs of John and Molly. The two are thrown together when Molly stumbles across a newborn left behind in a library bathroom stall and John comes in to investigate the situation.....which inevitably is linked to a current and past case of his.

I love books and libraries and my husband is in law enforcement so the premise of this book sounded cute. No Offense read like a Hallmark cozy mystery. You have a picturesque setting that others (including myself) would like to visit, a sweet cast of local resident characters, a budding romance with a low heat factor, and a bit of mystery thrown in for good measure.

I'd rate this one at 3 stars. Ultimately, I found this one to be fine but forgettable. Thanks to the Book Club Girl and NetGalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

Very predictable and cheesy. This was tough to even finish. The characters were not very likable and I could not wait to be rid of it.

Thank you to William Morrow, through the Book Club Girls, and NetGalley for providing a copy of this book for review!

I've not read Meg Cabot before, but she's always been in my TBR, and I'd most likely seek her out again. This was a quick and light read and I liked the writing, and the setting of Key West drew me right to this novel. But I'm not going to lie, I found it hard to relate to Molly right off the bat. Maybe it's because I'm a mom of young kids who takes them to library programs, but if our librarians allowed teenagers to inappropriately crash their programs, I'd be stuffing *them* into a bathroom stall, forget about a baby. As this was the opening scene and our introduction to Molly, it was hard to warm up to her after that.

After the initial pages, I found myself not connecting with the story or characters, so I decided to pass on this book. Did not finish

In a way, it was typical chick lit. I dont think the sheriff and the librarian were right together. Also, I guess Molly is supposed to be quirky and caring, but she's really annoying. I dont think very much research went into what being a librarian is really like. Lots of things happened that would never go in real life.
