Romance

Description

One San Francisco librarian would rather check out a good romance than dare to experience it herself. Luckily, her own next chapter is full of surprises…

Melissa “Bernie” Bernard isn’t familiar with fame. After all, she works at a college library with hardly any visitors. But when a video of a marriage proposal in her stacks goes viral, it’s not the bride and groom who capture the Internet’s attention. It’s Bernie—caught rolling her eyes. Now, just as she’s ready to go into hiding and permanently bury her nose in a book, a handsome reporter appears with a proposal of his own…

If Colin Rodriguez doesn’t do something big to attract new readers, his boss will hire someone else to dole out dating advice. Determined to prove he’s an expert at romance—despite his own pitiful track record—he pitches a story: He will find dates for the undateable. Specifically, for the
now-infamous, love‑hating librarian at Richmond College.

Even though Bernie doesn’t believe in happily-ever-afters, she’s not one to resist a good challenge. Yet with one disastrous date after another, she’s ready to give up. Until Colin proves he’ll do anything to find her the perfect match—even if it means putting himself up for the role…

Advance Praise

“The first book in Zebra’s new Librarians in Love series is a delightful, humorous, quick and quirky tale. While the premise of 30 dates in as many days, along with a free makeover, isn’t exactly new ground for romance, Title’s characters strike the right balance and come across as believable people making the best of a difficult situation.”- RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars

“Title launches her Librarians in Love contemporary romance series with a hilarious and charming first installment…Funny, engrossing, and delightfully written.” - Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW

“Combined with Title’s remarkable ability to naturally work feminist discussions about dating and femininity into the plot, the book represents the best of a new kind of contemporary romance: socially-aware and laugh-out-loud funny, with a love story that’s real enough to imagine reading about on Twitter.”– Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW

“Delectably sensual, off-the-charts funny, and remarkably true to the academic library experience, this engaging story is a natural for the library community and everyone else who enjoys romantic comedies.”– Library Journal

“Title’s print debut, the first in the Librarians in Love series, is fun, fresh, and hip. She has a real knack for writing realistic dialogue, creating well-drawn characters, and giving her scenes just the right amount of heat.”– Booklist STARRED REVIEW
