About this ebook
She's a woman of her word.
Cissie Rogers likes to do everything by the book. Literally. The town librarian in Kettle Knob, North Carolina, she's determined to preserve the future of literature-and the library's romantic legend-for her patrons. It's not easy when the mayor himself, Boone Braddock, wants to close the library down. There's only one way for Cissie to put a stop to him: By running for mayor herself!
Is he a player-or does he mean business?
Boone is Kettle Knob's favorite son, a champion athlete and stellar football coach with deep local roots. Cissie will need more than a savvy slogan and a pair of three-inch high heels to stand a chance at the polls. But what about the campaign that's underway in her own heart? What began as professional rivalry has transformed into a simmering attraction that neither contender can ignore. Could it be that the keeper of the town's card catalog and the legendary football hero are ready to team up...and write their own storybook romance?
"Kieran Kramer's smart, sassy storytelling charms readers because there is always poignancy mixed with passion, tenderness, and humor." -RT Book Reviews

I must say that this one wasn't for me, which was disappointing because I really enjoyed other books from this author. I found this one just a bit silly for my taste. It was though, very well written and had a cast of crazy characters that I couldn't help chuckling over. If you enjoy your romance on the super sweet and silly side, you'll enjoy this book.

Trouble When You Walked In is a feel good read. Kieran Kramer created a well written read that combines the small town feel with big city problems. I found this novel to be amusing and touching. I had a wonderful time reading about Cissie and Boone. Each time I thought I could not laugh any harder, I was proven wrong. Cissie and Boone's quests to get the best of each other was funny, sexy and captivating. I love finding new authors to read. Thanks to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press and Kieran Kramer- I have stumbled on a great new one. I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review.

Read it. Fabulous, fantastic, intelligent, clever. Kieran Kramer has never written better. Do yourself a favour and grab this book as soon as you can, you will never regret it. It's brilliant, and forget any idea you might have about a story about a librarian and a hot mayor! Genius!
