The Librarian and the Spy by Susan Mann

4.0

A fun contemporary romance with some spy thriller thrown in. Quinn is a reference librarian in a California public library who is (somewhat unrealistically) hired by a handsome male patron with a British accent who is tracking down information about objets d'art. The attraction is apparent from the very beginning (I don't know any librarians who get flirty with patrons right off the bat because that leads to a lot of creepiness) and their first dinner date ends in an unexpectedly suspenseful situation. This is entertaining and well-paced; some of the dialogue is unbelievably stilted and I would have preferred more lead-up to the attraction and romance at the beginning. Mann packs a lot into one little book and I will read the second one for sure.
