After being let go from a big literary agency, she&#8217;s spent the past year hunting for new leads, and has finally landed a very nice publishing deal for her client. Things are looking even better when she flirts with a super hot guy at the bookstore she&#8217;s meeting her client at &#8211; and it turns out he&#8217;s the owner.\u00a0Sebastian runs a bookshop-cum-coffee shop with a hidden speakeasy in the basement (accessed, naturally, through a hidden staircase revealed \u00a0behind a bookshelf). They hit it off, and soon they&#8217;re going on a series of sweet and sexy dates.<\/p>\n<p>The dates were honestly my favorite part of the book. For goodness&#8217; sake, they go on a date at the library where they each pick out a &#8220;blind date with a book&#8221; for each other. Enough said!\u00a0There&#8217;s suggestive slam poetry, sex in a bookshop, sex during the opera (tickets courtesy of Carmen&#8217;s opera singer neighbor who also cooks them delicious Italian food)&#8230; OK, so yes, this book is a little over the top, especially with Sebastian&#8217;s level of near-perfection. There&#8217;s also not much conflict in the book, aside from some antics from Carmen&#8217;s ex-boyfriend.\u00a0There&#8217;s a little bit of drama but it&#8217;s mostly in relation to their families and their careers.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, even with the lack of conflict and over-the-topness, it was very satisfying to read about two people who were awesome at their respective bookish careers falling in love. Super adorable!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Content warnings: This book is as adorable as the cover suggests!
