Description
Julia Wright couldn't be more content with her job at the local library, nestled in placid, picturesque Serenity Falls. Until her wacky mother, petty-thief sister, and little niece "Toni the Biter" decide to crash her quiet party of one . . . and a new guy roars into town on his Harley, shaking up more than just the books on her shelves. Luke Maguire never thought he'd set foot back into the dull town where he'd spent his youth. But when his abusive father dies, he's forced to return and show more take care of the family bar. While trying to get the people of Serenity Falls to lighten up a little, he makes an unlikely alliance with a feisty librarian, whose pages he'd really like to turn. The battle lines are being drawn and Luke may have an uphill fight on his hands, but he's determined to come out on top, tempting this good girl to be very bad.

Julia Wright is a reference librarian who falls for Luke Maguire. Luke, 'the bad seed', was emotionally and physically abused by his father, Tommy, who the entire town loved.
Contemporary romances generally aren't my thing, but I really liked this one. Very witty and funny. Accurate representation of small town life and librarians.

Something about [a:Cathie Linz|4984|Cathie Linz|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg]'s writing brings you right into the story as if your a part of it. She makes you love her characters right away. I fell in love with Luke and Julia immediately. A kinda complicated yet fun relationship that was punctuated with great supporting characters. It was great getting to know Angel, Tyler and Big Al a little more, and I'm excited to read Skye's story in [b:Bad Girls Don't|542769|Bad Girls Don't (Berkley Sensation)|Cathie Linz|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175650552s/542769.jpg|530093]. I still would like to see if Sue Ellen has her own story.
The librarian and the bad boy who's recently returned to town, with some twists. Julia is recovering from a lifetime growing up in the shadow of her free spirit mother and sister, who think nothing of causing scenes. She only wants a nice, quiet, NORMAL life. But then chaos arrives, in the form of Harley-riding town rebel Luke, and, hard on his heels, her mother & sister, 2 llamas, and her out-of-control niece. My favorite kind of romance story--one with humor and heart. Serious problems and laugh-out-loud moments.
Funny. About a librarian. A light read.
This was a great book as the first in a series I was able to to becoome very familiar with the character
