Not My Romeo by Ilsa Madden-Mills
5.0

Of course, being a librarian myself, I loved that the main character was also a librarian. But Elena was so much quirkier than I am. However she totally personified the whole naughty librarian image when we learned about the different types of lingerie she made. I mean I love those sequins that reverse to make different colors/patterns, but I’d think they might be a bit itchy on undies personally. Just my own opinion. I still loved the idea of all her different sets though.

Then there’s Jack, oh Jack. You gotta love a big tough football star who is also shy! He had a really hard past and it was hard not to feel empathy for him and how he’d been taken advantage of and treated unfairly by the paparazzi. But then when he did things to fix it, like signing up for the play and all the stuff the little boy asked him to do, yeah, it was so easy to fall in love with him.

The story was sweet and fun and hot when you would want it to be. Just as I expect from this author. I also loved the supporting characters, would love to see books for Jack’s football buddies, or even another character that I won’t mention her name so I won’t mess up any plotlines in this. But really, I could barely put down and the only reason I didn’t finish much quicker is because we’re back to school, so I couldn’t just sit and read all day like I wanted.
