Love at First Book
By Jenn McKinlayPublisher Description
When a librarian moves to a quaint Irish village where her favorite novelist lives, the last thing she expects is to fall for the author’s prickly son… until their story becomes one for the books, from the New York Times bestselling author of Summer Reading.
Emily Allen, a librarian on Martha’s Vineyard, has always dreamed of a life of travel and adventure. So when her favorite author, Siobhan Riordan, offers her a job in the Emerald Isle, Emily jumps at the opportunity. After all, Siobhan’s novels got Em through some of the darkest days of her existence.
Helping Siobhan write the final book in her acclaimed series—after a ten-year hiatus due to a scorching case of writer’s block—is a dream come true for Emily. If only she didn’t have to deal with Siobhan’s son, Kieran Murphy. He manages Siobhan’s bookstore, and the grouchy bookworm clearly doesn’t want Em around.
Emily persists, and spending her days bantering with the annoyingly handsome mercurial Irishman only makes her fall more deeply in love with the new life she’s built – and for the man who seems to soften toward her with every quip she throws at him. But when she discovers the reason for Kieran's initial resistance, Em finds herself torn between helping Siobhan find closure with her series and her now undeniable feelings for Kier. As Siobhan's novel progresses, Emily will have to decide if she’s truly ready to turn a new page and figure out what lies in the next chapter.

“Witty, charming, and bittersweet. An adorable rom-com with a tinge of sadness. I loved that Siobhan was able to complete her life's work and that Emily was given a chance at having a loving maternal figure in the process. Too many things to say, just read it <3”

“I was not expecting this book to be so heart wrenching. I was going into it as a cozy romance and maybe grumpy and sunshine with enemies to lovers, but I got so much more. This is definitely for the readers who grew up with a character and are very emotionally attached. Now excuse me while I go cry in the corner.”Multi-layered charactersDescriptive writingEasy to readFast-pacedBeautiful settingRealistic settingHeartbreakingRomantic

“I picked up this book thinking it would be cute and cozy and it was waaaaay more than that. I was completely immersed in the story, in Ireland, in the books within the book. The writing is so good and the audio is top notch (I switched between print and audio while reading) I fell in love with all the characters and saw myself in many of them too. I’m so sad I finished it and won’t get to read it again for the first time. This very unexpectedly shot to the top 10 favorite books of the year”Believable charactersCharacters change and growLikable charactersMulti-layered charactersBeautifully writtenEasy to readAddictiveBeautiful settingHeartbreakingRomantic
