Too long. Just... too damn long. And so much crap.

This is about a relationship between a principal and a librarian. They like spanking. She has a psycho ex-boyfriend. Pretty much the entire storyline.

Now picture three hundred pages of this. I know. I am a sucker for punishment.

So much unnecessary drama... I can't even begin to explain this. So they shag very early on (20% maybe) and they end up having lots of rendezvous in his office and house. There's really nothing more going on, ex ...more

Okay, I seem to be in the minority, but I didn't LOVE this book. It was good, that's it...just good.

Ryder was too soft for my taste. It seemed that, unless they were in imminent danger of getting caught, Liese was always initiating their encounters. He had all the indicators to be an uber alpha, he was possessive (but it was on and off), he was obsessing with the h (but secretly, almost).

I also didn't like how wishy-washy the H and h were about their relationship. I understood their need to down ...more

It was a fun read with loads of sexy times, so a great one if you are in the mood for that. I like my books a little bit more angsty. Completely different than her prior two stories, which I LOVE!

The author raises the question of the forbidden fruit. Something that works wonders with me. Liese and Ryder are risking their jobs by pursuing a romantic relationship. Even though they try hard to resist temptation, it proves to be too much for mother nature.

It was hilarious the way the professional ice is broken. There are lots of misunderstandings and anxiety in the aftermath of their first passionate encounter. I enjoyed myself with all the scenes where Liese frets over his treatment of her and he tries to demonstrate that he's really interested in more than a one night-stand to get the itch out of their system.

It was also maddening to me because they want to be together, I want them to be together. However, obstacles keep mounting up. Even after they make up, a million years of exciting moments after, the glorious intimacy is there, but not quite until the physical tension burns like a witch's fire.

Not all of the story is devoted to unbridled and sometimes utterly frustrating steamy times. They are striving to develop a true relationship while an ex-boyfriend rears its ugly head to prevent peace between them. A few other characters add dimension to their lives such as a colleague who acts as a perfect jealousy-trigger, and a crazy friend who's loyal to the end but also fires up some incredibly awkward conversations.

The author balances well the couple time and the scenes where they deal with daily tasks, work and friends, so it never feels a burden on any part. I loved the way all sorts of complications keep Ryder and Liese apart or make it so hard for them to be together. Every scene was loaded with barely contained tension that really paid off when they finally melt into their chemistry. I was so glued to the pages that I kept arriving late everywhere!

The Librarian Principle kept me on the edge of my seat with is exhilarating, hot-as-hell, forbidden romance, all invested in this couple's dilemma until the wee hours of the night. I'm very, very happy I read this book. It's beautifully romantic, sexy and funny. A fantastic read. ...more

Helena's writing has definitely improved since this one came out. If I'd read it upon release, I might have given it more stars, but reading it now, it didn't grip as much as I would have expected. Quite a bit of telling of off-camera action, too. ...more
