Adorable librarian finds love amongst the stacks.

This is a new-to-me author and I really liked her writing style. The plot and pacing are well done and there’s an interesting cast of main and secondary characters - one of which I just wanted to shake and tell him to grow up!
Matteo and Levi are both very likeable and find themselves in a rather complicated relationship. Levi carries baggage from his past and Matteo is a shy, bow tie wearing librarian who remains quiet to avoid confrontation.
They quickly discover their physical chemistry so be prepared for high heat and lots of steam, especially when Matteo feels comfortable enough with Levi to voice what he wants. The speed of their emotional connection does lead to a dash of angst but they both want to be together so they make it happen.
This is an enjoyable, engaging read with books and bow ties!
