Heather's Reviews > Love Overdue

I’m a sucker for books that have a librarian heroine....because I’m a librarian myself! I could identify with the challenges she faces in creating a more pleasing library atmosphere, while fighting “tradition” and long-standing employees. Libraries (collectively) are facing change, and librarians (and library patrons) are either embracing or running away from it, and Morsi did well in describing the complexities that surround this with respect.

I’d consider this more of a light romance. DJ has moved to town for a library director position, and moves into a MIL’s apartment of one of the board members. What she doesn’t know? It’s secretly a matchmaking opportunity, disguised as a well-meaning offer. Scott is a bachelor, whose first marriage ended in disaster. He’s moving on, and thinks he might have found someone new in DJ. DJ, however, has a secret....and this secret becomes the barrier in their relationship. As a reader, I clearly felt the chemistry between DJ and Scott, but it wasn’t blatant, hop-in-the-bed together. That’s not to say that I couldn’t see why they hit it off. It was much more of a light romance, which fits Morsi’s typical style. I thought the book was well done, and while I could see where the misunderstandings/back story was going....I couldn’t wait to keep on reading. A great book for a summer read!
