My last read of 2019 was this swoony and sexy Professor and Librarian romance, forthcoming from Charish Reid!

Dr. Victoria Reese is tightly wound and trying to make her mark at her prestigious and mostly white University. Being a Black woman in academia brings her both fulfillment and stress.

One of her new initiatives brings the sexy head Children's librarian and maybe a Viking John Donovan into her life.

Wildly attracted to John, Victoria attempts to plan via spreadsheet a torrid affair with the more than willing Johnny. But Johnny is just as determined to show Victorian that sometimes going off calendar can be just as good.

I really loved this one! I had to forgive Johnny a pretty egregious library worker mistake early on, but who cares really. I sure didn't as I fell in love with both characters.
There is absolutely delicious consent too.
I also appreciated the ADD representation.

Preorder this one now, Hearts on Hold is available February 3rd, 2020. *I received a free copy to review from @netgalley*
