I enjoyed the parts of the book that had to do with the library,the mc club, and the farm more than the romance part.
I really loved it! Cathy Yardley is hilarious and writes steam wonderfully!
I love libraries and librarians and this felt like a love letter to both.

I have no idea how I missed a Cathy Yardley book! This is one of her trope-iest and the biker gang plot was over the top. But I still couldn’t help but love it and love that she always writes actual adults.

With Prose Before Bros, Cathy Yardley continues to expand the Green Valley Library series Green Valley native and Iron Wraith, Drill who is put between a rock and a hard place after his father’s funeral.
Thuy Nguyen was a city girl through and through. She was used to things such as WiFi. Having to move to a farm to help out her bestest friend ever was not in her plans and neither was falling for her muscly, sexy older brother. But she owed it to Maddy to stick around. And besides, the local library could use a little help.
When Drill’s younger sister comes back into town he never expected it’d be pregnant and accompanied by the sassiest and most captivating woman he’s ever seen. But even though he’s not supposed to acknowledge her as family and try to make her leave town, the thought of not seeing his only true family again nor the beautiful Thuy makes his heart ache. But the Iron Wraiths have been his family for the past sixteen years, and even though he has doubts about their current status, there’s no way he can get out.
I really enjoyed the romance of this very unlikely pairing: a biker and a librarian. Thuy is smart, feisty, and caring. I loved her loyalty and how much she was determined to not only help out her friend, but also succeed.
I had read about Drill countless times, but never really paid him much attention. My bad. He’s totally worthy of it. His backstory is heartfelt and I loved that all the years in the Iron Wraiths didn’t diminish his love for his sister and oh how I enjoyed his discovery for reading thanks to Thuy. His character development was brilliant and I found myself rooting for him even though it seemed almost impossible to find his happy ever after.
Even though I felt the ending was a bit sudden and I wished there were more cameos from the Winston Brothers, this book is a wonderful addition to the Green Valley Library series.
Prose Before Bros is book #3 of the Green Valley Library series by Cathy Yardley. It’s set in the Green Valley World, Penny Reid Book Universe, a standalone, contemporary romance, told from both points of view with a happy ending.

I love Cathy Yardley's writing style. Another romance winner, with strong female roles, and none of that typical drama due to a mis-understanding/people not saying what they mean. I loved Thuy's character, and that this series has librarians as a central part of the books.
Another good read from Yardley.
