The Librarian by Logan BelleMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
NetGalley free read
I liked it. Did I love it, No. I felt like Regina was too nieve. I mean for someone with their first sexual experience and to be of her age, she shouldn't have been that easy to control. I mean she'd controlled her whole life even knowing she needed to get away from her mother up to that point, I just can't imagine she'd be so pliable to Sebastian. She never even asked about the Blonde haired woman until she was well into a sexual relationship with him.
I also didn't like the character of Sloan, who I felt the author didn't really explain why she was so interested in keeping Regina and Sebastian apart. Also, since he wasn't technically part of the Library employment system, Sloan had no right to tell Regina she couldn't date him. Some of the things that Sloan did to Regina, I though Regina should have stood up for herself. I get that she didn't want to rock the boat and that working there was her dream job, but she got over it quickly enough after being fired. Within three months, Sloan can't fire her for calling in sick or letting her know she was late because she wasn't feeling well. You can't just guess that someone isn't telling you the truth and just fire them unless its a no fault state, at which time you can fire someone for no reason at all. But I think Sloan was opening herself and the Library up to a law suit for firing someone just because she thought she was sleeping with the guy she liked. And why was Sloan engaged, if she wanted Sebastian. I would have liked it better if Sloan had turned out to be the Blonde that Sebastian was sleeping with and that Regina didn't recognize her because of how her hair was draped over her face and Sloan was dumped when he started seeing Regina.
I also thought that the author made Sebastian's transition from a guy who slept with anything that walked to being hung up on Regina too easy. I mean, is all it takes is a twenty-something virgin for a guy to change his ways?
But, I enjoyed it. You wouldn't know it from my criticisms, but I did like it. I like Regina's roommate who was funny and I liked how she tried to help and was so worldly that not much surprised her. And I know many girls who have tried to be what the guy wanted only to have them change their minds and break their hearts so I like that she was doing the open relationship until he freaked out and she was was crushed and dropped all the others.
It was cute, but could have been better.
