Love Overdue

Love Overdue by Pamela Morsi

Meet Dorothy Jarrod: devotedly unsexy librarian 

Buttoned-up book lover DJ is all sensible shoes, drab skirts and studious glasses. After an ill-advised spring-break-fueled fling left her mortified, she's committed to her prim and proper look. When she's hired by a rural library in middle-of-nowhere Kansas, she finally has the lifestyle to match-and she can't wait to get her admin on. 

But it's clear from day one that the small-town library is more interested in circulating rumors than books. DJ has to organize her unloved library, win over oddball employees and avoid her flamboyant landlady's attempts to set her up with the town pharmacist. Especially that last part-because it turns out handsome Scott Sanderson is her old vacation fling! She is not sure whether to be relieved or offended when he doesn't seem to recognize her. But with every meeting, DJ finds herself secretly wondering what it would be like to take off her glasses, unpin her bun and reveal the inner vixen she's been hiding from everyone-including herself.**

Reading all about Dorothy Jarrod, or DJ as she is called in the book, was like watching one of those movies on Hallmark. I say Hallmark because they seem to be more about real life than those movies on Lifetime. Anyway, this book was like one of those movies where you root for the girl to find the guy and fall in love with him and make babies.

The author makes it easy for you to like DJ. She's sweet, caring and wants to find her place, you know that place where you can settle down and have a life, be apart of a community. So DJ moves to Verdant, Kansas, a hole in the wall town, to become the new librarian. The first person she meets isn't so nice but then she meets Viv Sanderson, a whirlwind of a person that you just can't help but love.  Settling in to her life here was easy and then she meets Viv's son Scott, and its a flash from her past that she wasn't expecting. He doesn't know her and she's grateful and irked.

Scott is a hard working guy. He's the pharmacist in town and all around nice guy. He was married to a woman but she broke his heart. Now Viv keeps pushing him together with the new librarian, whom he's pretty certain wants nothing to do with him and really she's kind of stodgy for his tastes. One thing that bothers him is she looks like the sparkly girl from his past and he knows that shes not her. 

Watching Scott and DJ dance around each other was highly entertaining. DJ wanted to forget the past but she couldn't get past her attraction to Scott. Then Scott couldn't stop thinking about sparkly girl from his past enough to see past the boring librarian front that DJ had going on. When he finally sees her for who she is and she stops fighting him getting close its cute to watch how effortlessly they click. This book is for sure a winner and a must read.
