When I saw Sharon had a second book coming out I knew I had to grab it! Her first book The Do Over was my first read on Netgalley, my first review on my Blog and on Bookstagram and the very frist author interview! And I loved this one just as much as the first!
Synopsis
I can’t lock up the library until the guy asleep at his desk leaves. Thank the universe for audiobooks because I could be here all night. But I see his mouth twitch at the exact moment a steamy kiss takes place. My face burns when I realize my headphones aren’t plugged in and my phone is at full volume.
It's not every day you see a new face in my small hometown of Two Harts, let alone one belonging to an annoyingly handsome all-star NFL player. But for some reason Chris Sterns has decided that the library where I work is his go-to spot to hide from his mega-fans, and unfortunately, winding me up is his new favorite sport.
Being crowned “world’s sexiest man” has done little to curb his confident charm and when he somehow ropes me into his two-person book club, I can’t help warming to his endless positivity.
But when a photo of him stumbling out of a Las Vegas club with a woman in tow is leaked to the press, I can’t help but question whether his good boy persona is just an act.
And that’s far from the only answer I’m left searching for when Chris pops the question I’ve only ever heard in my favorite romance books. Did he really just ask me to marry him?
It’s not the proposal I was expecting, but with my mom’s medical bills piling up faster than I can pay them, and with the scandal threatening to ruin everything Chris has worked for; could an engagement be the perfect fake out for us both? Or is this a game we’ll both lose?
A totally uplifting and addictive friends-to-lovers romance full of laugh-out-loud moments. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Sarah Adams and Olivia Dade.
My review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved Mae's witty sarcasm. Most of it is an internal monologue, but she had me laughing out loud more times than I could count. I want every single one of her bookish t-shirts in my wardrobe!
And on the flip side, I also had tears, the ahhhhhhhhh sweet kind.
I adore Ali and would kill to have a BFF like her on my team because who else will seek hilarious revenge on my enemies?
Chris had me swooning, and I'm not the swoony type it takes a lot, and Chris just did it for me.. All I could picture in my head for him was Sawyer from Lost, I think it's the size, the accent, and his nicknames for Mae and how he's a total softy. A serious cinnamon roll.
I loved how he made Mae feel, and his interest in reading romance novels was just plain fun. Showing interest in one of her interests was way more intimate for me than anything behind closed doors.
Like many have said, I really didn't even notice the lack of physical intimacy between them, and it "suits me" 100%. His thumb strokes ( those opposable thumbs! His touches and their actual banter and sweet chemistry were plenty.
And now I'm desperately sad that Two Harts is fictional, because I just want to visit that library and be friends with Mae.
About the author
Sharon M. Peterson is a former middle school teacher and has the personality to prove it. One of her favorite quotes is from Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath: “It was her habit to build up laughter out of inadequate materials.” She strives to tackle life that way and create characters who do the same. She lives in Washington with her husband and four children, including two autistic sons. She has one cat, two dogs, one tattoo, and an intense fear of poodles (don’t ask). She can usually be found hunched over her computer, creating characters and stories she hopes you’ll love as much as she does.
