The Librarian Principle

by Helena Hunting

[Cocktails and Books]

When the book started, the chemistry between Annaliese—Liese—and Ryder was tangible but because of their jobs, they had to ignore it…that is until Ryder was treated to an eyeful of porn on Liese’s personal computer during school hours!

What ensued was a sexy love affair that had to be hidden in order to protect themselves and their jobs from the strict non-fraternization policy in the school district. As Liese and Ryder stumble through their forbidden relationship, they find something more special than either of them could have imagined…love.

The premise of this book is what prompted me to immediately pick it up. I loved the idea of a naughty librarian getting disciplined by the principal and while I was partially right in my assumption, Ryder and Liese’s relationship was much more than physical.

Liese is a great character and I loved that the book was told from her point of view but I would have loved a sneak peek into Ryder’s thoughts as well. I think that would have given the story more depth, but I also love that while his thoughts were a mystery, he was very expressive with his feelings. I loved the times we got to see his vulnerability. Yes, he is a controlled and domineering principal, but there is a soft side to him that he shares with Liese that I found completely endearing.

I really enjoyed this story! THE LIBRARIAN PRINCIPLE is funny, sexy and heartfelt.
