He doesn’t think very highly of his staff (I’d say maybe not without reason, but leadership is important…).
He’s grumpy and awkward, and super fixated on making sure he doesn’t make mistakes after receiving the department’s harassment training. So, I read some reviews that were very anti-John, and I can understand that. Molly thinks John is hot but an unsympathetic jerk who can’t even catch a thief who’s been robbing houses near the high school, so how could he be expected to deal with this baby situation properly? John is immediately interested in Molly, but is a little (though not nearly enough, IMO) turned off when she starts telling him how to do his job. John’s been back for some years, but Molly’s only been around a few months, so they haven’t yet met when John’s called in because Molly found an abandoned newborn in the library’s bathroom. Molly moved to town after she needed a change of scene when she broke off her engagement, and a fellow librarian she knew was retiring and needed a replacement. Here’s where it lands: After growing up in Little Bridge, John moved back to town after he and his wife decided to divorce and he was asked to run for Sheriff. So I can’t say I was expecting a lot of serious emotional development, but I also wasn’t expecting that the protagonists would have such a seriously shaky and unconvincing relationship. William Morrow does offer a lot of romance titles, but it’s more in the women’s fiction line, so by this time I have a certain expectation of what I’m going to get when I pick up one of these titles. I don’t really know what to make of this book. But after my friend asked about it, I put a copy on hold at the library (libraries are so great!!!) and let fate take its course.
As the book is published by William Morrow, and Meg Cabot is really well known, I had thought about requesting it but ultimately decided to use my ARC reviewer spoons elsewhere. Overall: I was disappointed on a few levelsĪ friend of mine who happens to be a children’s librarian asked me if I had picked up this book for the blog some months ago. Plot: Righteous children’s librarian with a passion for true crime and awkward sheriff are thrown together because 1.
Heat Factor: I expected closed door, but it wasn’t.
