BLURB
When it comes to women, I know what they want. And all day long, I give it to them. Dark, broody, and sexy? You got it. Need to laugh? I’m your guy. Desperate for something to put you in the mood? You’ve come to the right place, kitten.
Every morning when my library opens, there’s a line around the block, the ladies flocking to me in need of their next book boyfriend. I’m that dude. The one who knows his way around the romance section. And if you think that hasn’t gotten me plenty of action over the years, you’d be wrong.
But I've made a few miscalculations, and now my reputation has my job in danger. If I can’t prove to my boss that I’m more than a playboy who recommends romance in the hopes of getting some hanky panky in the stacks, I can kiss my job goodbye.
Stud in the Stacks is a sexy, hilarious, sometimes embarrassing romantic comedy told in both points of view, complete with tacos, romance novel love, and unicorn parties with no cheating or cliffhangers.

EXCERPT
Even though it’s been six years since I stripped for a roomful of women, I’m pleased to report my loincloth still fits in all the right places. Tad more snug in front than I remember, but if I had to grow, might as well be in the junk.
I give the elastic one last test as the producer signals that I’m up. Spider-Man gives me a fist bump. Thor smacks my ass. They’re the last two bachelors going up on the block after me in tonight’s superhero-themed auction.
There are some who might say Tarzan isn’t a superhero, but Jane would beg to differ.
And I fucking own this costume.
Plus, if no one else bids on me, my Nana’s right up front, ready to throw down the hundred bucks I slipped her before the show.
I’m hoping for a little higher than that though. Batman just went for a cool five grand.
Batman was a dick, which I assume my Nana didn’t know when she started the bidding on him. A grade-A, condescending asshat who thought just because he had a few million bucks in the bank, he could call people gay like that’s an insult and take a metaphorical shit on my favorite books.
I fucking want to beat Batman.

*Received
an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review*
I loved the characters in this book! They were really the driving forces in this story regardless of the plot and certain ahem scenes. They were each different from what I have seen in books before although Parker was similar to characters I have seen before. She was awkward and had an issue with spewing word vomit when she was uncomfortable. I felt that she was neurotic about certain areas of her life and a workaholic but also genuine and kind. I thought that Knox was refreshingly unique. He had a love of romance books and was more brain than brawn. He had a good sense of humor and was able to laugh at himself and situations that were uncomfortable. Despite being a bit of a player, I found him to be an extremely likable character which is not always the case for me.
I wish that there would have been more to the story and relationship between Parker and Knox. I found both of these areas of the book to be lacking. I wanted there to be more to the story than each of them needing someone else to make the other look good in order to save their jobs. I've read this type of story before and it is nothing new. There are no unique details that make it any different from any of book with this story line. I also wanted more from the relationship between Parker and Knox. I felt like all I had to go on was the sexual chemistry that existed between the two of them. I wanted them to have deeper conversations about their lives and feelings rather than them just doing the nasty every time they were together.
I thought that some of the humor was okay but I felt like I was reading some of the same jokes over and over which got old really quickly. There were other humorous parts of the book but I honestly didn't get the jokes. It is either that or I just didn't find them funny. It's possible that I just don't appreciate the same type of humor that the author does.
