Love in the Stacks: A Sapphic Office Romance Kindle Edition

by Cara Malone (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 207 ratings

Mira Lockhart is married to her job—and she likes it that way. As one of the youngest library directors in the state, she's spent her career climbing the ladder, not looking for love. But Westbrook Public Library is testing her limits, and the biggest distraction of all? Her new page.

Chelle Tate is bold, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore. With her fiery red hair and flirtatious charm, she turns Mira’s carefully ordered world upside down—and tempts her into crossing every professional line she’s drawn.

As chaos erupts at the library—boycotts, vandalism, and scandal in the stacks—Mira is forced to decide what matters most: the job she’s worked her whole life for… or the woman she can’t seem to stay away from.

Sometimes love shows up where you least expect it—quiet, messy, and completely out of order.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I can't stress enough how fun and entertaining this book was. The sizzle was there, the story was engaging, and it was a quick read that, while light and sexy, also delivered humor, a bit of intrigue, and a couple of characters who didn't just find a happy ever after, but also personal growth and life lessons as well." - Amy Herman-Pall, The Lesbian Review
"The main characters are well done - both are flawed, both need to grow and the author has done a good job of maturing them throughout the story. The library has real character and is a pleasing background to the plot." - Lesbian Reading Room

    Very enjoyable book. Love triumphs, the villain is vanquished, etc.

    The story held my interest throughout, and never got bogged down. It's mostly predictable, but the ending is still satisfying and you get a couple of chapters to bask in the Happily Ever After. What more could you want?

    I have two minor frustrations, neither serious enough to deduct a star:

    - As others have pointed out, the story begins with Chelle making a totally inappropriate move on Mira during a job interview. I'm not really convinced that such a move really fit in with Chelle's character. The story would have worked just as well without this weird scene, as long as Chelle had gotten the job.

    - I often get frustrated with romance books (of all types) because I find myself wanting to yell at one of the characters, "Just TALK to her!" Mira and Chelle both express a desire to be a long-term couple, but when Mira feels that the situation at the library won't allow them to be together, she does what these sorts of characters always do -- she makes up her mind that the situation is hopeless and gives up. Just once I'd like to see a Mira character sit down with a Chelle character and say, "The situation seems hopeless to me, but the great thing about being a couple is that I don't have to go it alone. Let's put our heads together and figure out how to solve this problem." But that would have shaved 75 pages off the story, so nobody ever does this. Still, I continue to hope that someday someone will write this scene.

    Another reviewer said that they had dinged the book one star for typographical errors. That review was written 9 months ago, and these errors may have been fixed. Typos and grammatical errors usually jump out at me, and I only remember seeing one or two. I actually came away thinking that the book was really well-edited.

    This is the first book I've read from Cara Malone, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I'll definitely look for more from her.

    Mira hires Chelle as a library page. Both are attracted to each other but Mira puts the kibosh on anything between them as they are supervisor/employee. Mira is the library director who is having a lot of problems with the library, not the least of which is Jack the research librarian who wanted Mira's job. Eventually Mira gives in to Chelle and they begin a relationship in secret. Chelle wants more and Mira is afraid to lose her job.

    I enjoyed this story. Mira had a stick up her butt. Chelle was good at pushing Mira's boundaries. They do have some fierce confrontations. I have to admit I don't think I would have been as altruistic as Chelle after their last blow up. Chelle is very mature in spite of her parents' beliefs. But I did get what I wanted by the end of the story. Love wins.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Who knew the library had such an interesting spot!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2022

    Cara has introduced us to a couple of ladies. One who has a degree in exercise science and the other a a couple of degrees in Library science and is the library director.. Both working at the library. One problem, an older authoritative named Jack , know it all who is feeling the effects of not being chosen as director of the library. What follows Is a attempt to discredit this younger upstart and forgetting that live camera feed works both ways. The two women realize that without the other they may not exist. Now comes the rub. Does she resign or does a miracle happen when the Board appears for their annual evaluation? Buy, read and Enjoy!

    Love in the Stacks is riveting funny and very enjoyable to read. Who else ever dreamed of making love in the library?!

    Chelle didn't know what she wanted but to get her parents off her back until she went to be a page at the library and met Mira Lockheart who literally was love at first meet. With hidden looks and sneaky weekends they did everything they could to try to make it work besides the creep Jack who was jealous of Mira being the director of the Library. Mira helped Chelle realize she had more potential then just a random job to get her parents off her back and she decides to go back to school to become a librarian.

    Cara has out done herself once again. 💜

    3.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced and enjoyable romance
    Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2017
    Format: Kindle
    This is a fast-paced emotional rollercoaster with some serious erotica. The story starts off with the rather unlikely premise of somebody being given a job despite completely inappropriate behaviour at their interview, but develops into a decent plot with enough twists and turns to keep the attention. The work place intrigue might be obvious to the reader, but it adds a good sup-plot to the story and saves it from being simply an erotic romance.

    The main characters are well done, both flawed, both need to grow and the author has done a good job of maturing them throughout the romance as one takes more responsibility and the other learns what is really important to her.

    The scenes are well drawn, descriptions well done, the library has real character and is a pleasing background to the plot. The sex scenes are hot, explicit and with enough variety to make them fresh, definitely no fade to black here. There were grammar and editing issues which was a shame as it did detract from the experience, but not so badly as to make me stop.

    I want to say lesbian Mills & Boon but don’t mean it as an insult. It’s a good fast read, enjoyable and definitely erotic. The improbable opening coloured the whole book for me, which is unfortunate as from then on the story settles down into a solid well-conceived plot.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nette Romanze ohne ganz großes Drama
    Reviewed in Germany on October 11, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Eine nette Romanze zwischen einer Bibliothekarin und einer etwas orientierungslosen, aber heißen Studentin. Was zunächst als Affäre beginnt, wird kompliziert durch einen griesgrämigen, älteren Angestellten, der selbst gerne Leiter der Bücherei geworden wäre.
    Die Story kommt ohne das ganz große Drama aus, bietet dafür aber einige überraschend heiße Sexszenen. Insgesamt ein unterhaltsamer Lesespaß ohne den ganz großen Anspruch.
