Description
Summer Pierce is determined to date only nice guys. But when her latest prospect reveals himself as an alpha jerk in decent clothing, Summer doubts her ability to distinguish good from bad. Especially when her hot, pierced, tattooed library patron with an aloof attitude ends up supporting her on her darkest day. Could trusting a “bad boy” be a huge mistake?
Cole Allemand visits the library for the books, but he stays for the librarian. Summer is as bright and warm as her name, and luckily, she has a hero worship for authors. While Cole works days at a local animal shelter, at night he’s putting the finishing touches on his novel. All he needs is a book deal, and the woman he’s been crushing on for months will be within reach. Only, Cole finds he can’t wait for the publishing world to give him his go ahead, especially when he knows his past may push Summer away.
As the two form a bond outside of the library, Cole works to strengthen the connection with all the tools at his disposal, including serialized fantasy stories, adorable cats, and an in-depth understanding of the Dewey Decimal system. When a mysterious stalker threatens the librarian’s safety, trust becomes the element that could turn their tale into a true romance or tear apart the fragile happy ending.

This book was incredibly hard to put down. It challenged stereotypes of a so-called 'bad boy' and that looks are not everything, which the ending challenged perfectly. It contains mutual pining for a few chapters which has you hooked almost instantly. Told from the two main characters perspectives, Summer and Cole, you find yourselves attached to both characters rather than just one: this is just the benefit of a dual perspective, and something I always prefer when reading this type of romance.
This is an ideal book for quiet nights in, on the beach or just when you're looking for a quick, easy, enjoyable read where there is no cliffhangers left or anything. It touches upon difficult topics, but it doesn't darken the book in any shape or form, if anything the author highlights the fact that there are good people still in the world, when you feel like there isn't.
One thing I would suggest and that is the author briefly mentions that Cole suffered with mental health and then nothing else was brought up about it. I felt the author could have made more references to how/when he suffered, how he copes as it's such an important topic that is still sometimes brushed over. However, this didn't affect my view of the book at all as I can see why the author didn't mention it again.
