What is this book about?
If the covers of every romance book ever published didn’t convince librarian Evangeline Kelly that she isn’t heroine material, her fiancé calling off their wedding when she lost her hair to alopecia did. But what’s a girl head over heels for love to do when her feelings are unrequited? Matchmake, that’s what. Armed with library patrons’ check-out histories, she’s determined to make at least one love connection–even if it’s not her own.
Tattoo artist Tai Davis is used to people judging him with a single glance, so it doesn’t surprise him when the town’s quirky new librarian believes his bad-boy reputation without giving him a chance. He can’t help being intrigued by her, though, so when he discovers Evangeline’s secret matchmaking scheme, he’s not above striking a bargain with her. She just has to agree to one date with him for every time she uses his hometown knowledge to set up library patrons on a romantic rendezvous. The deal is made, but in the process, they both might learn you can’t judge a book–or each other–by the cover.
My review:
This story packs so much heat into this sweet romance. Evangeline fought it every step of the way, but the way Tai wooed her made my heart beat faster with every turn of the page. There were moments of swoony romance, warm tenderness, and times that I laughed out loud. But even more intriguing was the struggles that Evangeline lived because of her difference from others. I loved the inspirational message how Tai not only covered Evangeline in his love but pointed her to God’s unfailing love as well. The only hiccup for me was adjusting to the change in POV’s between the heroine (first person) and the hero (third person) but I really loved the characters and the theme of this story.
What I enjoyed most about this book:
Swoony, almost spicy romance
What I didn’t like about this book:
Different POVs for the heroine and hero
Would I recommend this book to others? Definitely. Sweet but swoony romance, interesting and heart-felt characters, strong inspirational message. This is the first book in the series.
Note: I received this book complimentary as a participant of the JustReads reviewer tour. I was not required to give a positive review. All of the opinions I have expressed here are honest and my own.
