Wooing the Librarian by Nora Phoenix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was such a sweet no angst story. Just what I needed this week. Pascal is the librarian who loves books. Enter Stanton who comes to read to kids and loves books too. They are just perfect for each other. I also love the reference to the Pengrooms as I bought this book for my granddaughter.

This book is hilarious. It was so much fun to see all the couples again. All the craziness of the cookie jar as a way to tie the stories together was perfect. Enjoyed this audio book so much.

Ezra doesn’t like Titan because of the way he treated his brother. But…he is hot so just once, right? Of course once isn’t enough. I love how we get to see both characters work through their feelings and emotions not just between each other but within themselves. There are also some wild twists and turns in this second book of the series. I really enjoyed the audio version.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story starts with Caulin struggling and finding the videos that Jones had produced gave him comfort. It also led to some hero worship. When a situation places Caulin in danger Otto gets a chance to be an actual hero. I loved that both men were unsure and learning as they were building their relationship. A sweet story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really loved everything about this story. There is so much humor but it also examines how expectations put on you by your family can shape the choices you make. It also is about embracing your dreams. I love the interaction between both the main characters. It was also fun to see how friends and family rally around and are there when you need them. The final chapter was a wonderful way to end their story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It was interesting to see they way that Gabriel from the start had the thought that things were not what they seemed on the surface. My heart was breaking for Ronan. I also like that as their relationship developed that they supported each other through some tough emotional stuff. This is a love story but it is also a deep emotional journey.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As a lover of audio books I really loved this story and the wonderful meet cute between Spencer and Tony. Tony loves his audio books and hearing his favorite narrator makes his day. And of course things go better from there. I like how all the guys rally around Tony when there is some trouble in the diner. This is a sweet fun low angst romance.

On the surface Gavin is a spoiled rich kid. But Cooper notices him. As they story progresses we learn more about Gavin and it opens the door for a relationship between the two men. I love the way that Cooper’s friends bring him into the group without any hesitation. Another sweet Blue Collar daddy story.
