"I glance at her e-reader. 'I’d hardly call that a romantic comedy.' 
'Are you book-shaming me?' she asks with an exaggerated gasp. 
'Not at all. You could be reading paranormal erotica, a mafia romance, or even a nonfiction title, and I wouldn’t judge.' She shudders at the last suggestion. 'Now who’s judging?' 
'I would never,' she feigns insult."

This is an unbelievably cute novella that was such a joy to read. Ditching your friend’s bachelorette party because Vegas can get to be “too much” and reading your book at a bar, sounds like my kind of evening. {And, if you’re a fan of Irene Bahrd, like I am, then you’ll pick up on a reference to a certain “hungry” gentleman completely head over heels for his Becca (hint, hint: it’s from the Love at all Cost series!)} But, to be discovered by a handsome man with a British accent, and asked to go back to his place to change into comfy PJs to continue reading in peace? That’s my kind of meet-cute! I loved the performance scene and bookish talk. 

"This will either be an amazing adventure… or the biggest mistake of my life." 

The only other thing I will add is just how much bookish fun this novella because I really was laughing through it. If you're looking for an entertaining, quick read... with a little bit of... spice (over plot). Then this one is for you! 

 "The sexy librarian and the Vegas performer. Quite the perfect pair, if you ask me."
