“Books allow you to experience a million different adventures without leaving home. I couldn’t imagine a life without them.”
This follows Jess, who is working three jobs day by day to get by, one of them being as a home elderly support worker. She is trying out a new job with a lady named Mrs. Davis. When she steps into her home, she discovers thousands and thousands of romance books, with Mrs. Davis dreaming of opening a romance library for the public one day at a beautiful seaside view location. Then we have Theo, whose father owns Evan’s Enterprises, a company that buys and sells luxury properties. The perfect seaside view property has come on the market, and both Jess and Theo will have to win over the owner’s heart with a pitch on why they want it and how it will benefit the tight-knit community.
This was an easy, fun read that serves as a great palate cleanser. The rivals-to-lovers element was fantastic. This book is like a romance reader’s dream. Jess has been through a lot in her life, but being given this opportunity really sparked a love for the community, the town, and finding a love for reading again after it was ripped away from her. Once Theo got to know Jess, he was supportive, kind, and loved spending time with her. These two are great for each other. The rocking chair scene is illegal and is a scene I will remember. I will say I found parts of this story unrealistic. This is more of a personal preference, as I like to imagine if it would happen in real life. From the get-go, you knew who would win and who had no chance. I was cringing at how cheesy some bits were in the book, and I found myself reading quite a few exciting sentences ending with an exclamation mark quite often. Overall, I really enjoy Olivia Spring’s work, and this was lighthearted and refreshing.

Let’s just say…..I will be reading this book multiple times throughout the rest of my life. You ever just read a book and go….YESSSS! Well that was me while reading The Romance Library. I loved every single moment of this book and I encourage anyone looking for a sweet, loving and lighthearted read to grab this book immediately.
From the beginning, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but all I saw was Romance Library, Henry Cavill look a like, and I was sold. To be honest, the book has soooo much more to offer. The story is so beautiful that at the end, I just felt so full knowing that this story existed. It’s beautifully written, and it takes you on the most fulfilling journey in a book. Jessica, who is so relatable is one of the strongest characters I have seen. She’s smart even though she doesn’t think she’s capable. But she’s bold and she is herself.
Theo is the book boyfriend of our dreams. He’s rough around the edges at first, but he’s truly a gem at heart. He also had the most beautiful turn around in the story. I felt like his character was well developed and really showed progress in growing to be a better person. His life was controlled, so thats all he knew but with Jessica, all of that changed.
I will say that this story made me remember why I love reading romance novels. It brought back those memories of that first book I picked up and why I loved it. There really is true romance in this story. I think the library piece is what connected me so well. It was what drew me into the story and I loved every single moment of it. The characters were great, and I can’t wait to read Mia and Liam’s story! I also can’t wait to read Jane’s story.
Aside from the most beautiful love story, I also love desk lol, rocking chairs, and beaches way more lol Thats all I’ll say for that. But this book was fun, and exciting and just made you love reading again. It was relatable, and even the drama was so real. The issues that each character dealt with made them feel very real. It made their love story even stronger.
I hope you give this book a chance like I did. Thanks to Olivia Springs for allowing me to read this ARC. I am excited to dive into this world more and I will be purchasing a paperback copy to add to my own library collection.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Jess has had a rough go of life until she’s written into a will, where now she has to procure a specific building and create a romance library. But, there’s a problem and his name is Theo. Theo was born into wealth and had his life planned out for him. His father decided that he needed the same building that Jess’s benefactor had chosen, so he sent Theo after it.
The proprietor of the building decided to make things interesting. Jess and Theo have a few weeks to live in the town where the building is and then they will have to make a pitch as to why they would be the best for the building.
During those weeks, we get to see who these characters are and watch their relationship grow.
While there’s no one bed trope, the forced proximity is great, and the competition brings out the some of the best rivalries.
I can’t wait to read another book by Olivia Spring.

The Romance Library was a perfectly executed, middle of the road book for me. I loved the concept of the Romance Library and the town of Sunshine Bay. Jess and Theo were a great couple with great chemistry. I just didn’t get overly excited about this book. There was nothing wrong, it was very well-written, the characters were great, but it also felt a bit boring at times.
