About this ebook

Adrian, book-lover extraordinaire, adores his job at the small community library. He gets to share his passion with other people and help them with all book-related questions and issues. When a big, hulking man walks into the library, looking terrified, Adrian’s skills are tested in a completely different way.

Manne’s relationship with books is uneasy, to say the least. He’s dyslexic and events in his past have made him fearful of books and turned libraries into his worst nightmare. But when the quirky, bowtie-wearing librarian steps in to help, the experience turns positive.

Their banter is easy and their chemistry instant. But can an accidental meeting turn into something more? Can someone who has trouble reading ever fit into the life of a man whose passion is the written word?

Ratings and reviews

Such as great story! I am addicted to Nell Iris’ books. She writes the best MM short stories and short novellas. I love that I know I can pick up one of her books and finish it easily when I don’t have a lot of time in an evening to read. I also know that something about her story will make me smile even if it also makes me shed one or more tears. In They Met in the Library Nell takes two complete opposites (at least as far as looks go) and brings them together in a most unusual way. It taught me that I should not rely on stereotypes and we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Adrian and Manne are wonderful characters but I particularly loved how Adrian was so compassionate towards Manne and how that led to a beautiful HEA. I’m looking forward to reading more of her Meet Cute stories; the next one, They Met in the Park, comes out February 27th. A copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author. ***Reviewed for Xtreme-Delusions dot com*** (Posting January 19, 2021.)
