What the Librarian Did :Book Review

I haven’t picked up a Harlequin SuperRomance in a while, but my critique partner, Liz Talley will soon be published with them,  so I thought I would give a fresh one a try.

Yes, I’m glad I did.  I chose What the Librarian Did by Karina Bliss because of the back cover blurb which promised a bad boy rock star.  And it delivered.   The story was deep and well-told.   No Ms. Goody-Two-Shoes are Mr. Color-Me-Perfect, but fully rounded characters with deep-seated pasts.

I checked all the cover blurbs this month’s selection and saw the typical cowboys, surprise babies and boss/secretary stories.  While I enjoy a good pair of jeans on a rodeo butt as well as the next gal, I’m not big into reading about kids, especially secret babies–just why are they kept secret?–and falling in love because the snow is too deep to leave is a hard story to pull off, IMO.  So I was thrilled to find this story that kept me up late to finish it.  (Don’t let the cover throw you.  It reads better than it looks.)

In the story, an American rock star leaves the limelight and returns to the home of his birth, New Zealand, to find a more normal life.  When he enrolls in the local university and discovers more than books in the library.  –Okay, that’s all the teaser you’re getting.  Go read the book.

I will be looking for more out-of-the-ordinary stories next month.

BTW, I downloaded it to my Kindle and got a nice little price break, too.  Here’s a link What the Librarian Did (Harlequin Superromance)
for both the Kindle download and the paperback version of What the Librarian Did.
