Solving crimes wasn’t in her library catalog, but neither was falling for a thief.
ForĀ Abby Martin, resident librarian and undisputed queen of the Friday Night Book Club, life in Millbrook is as predictable as the Dewey Decimal System. Sure, her ex is a walking troll, but mostly, her days are cozy and routine. Millbrook, however, isn’t as quaint as it seems; a string of baffling break-ins has the whole town buzzing, and her uncle, the Sheriff, scratching his head.
Professional thiefĀ Levi CrossĀ returns to the quiet life in Millbrook after a heist gone wrong in NYC. He doesnāt find peace. Instead, he finds his hometown plagued by a series of unsolvable break-ins. Wary but desperate, the Sheriff ropes Levi into consulting on the case, assigning him to the most mind-numbing tasks and insisting that Abby keep tabs on him.
As Levi and Abby they sift through clues together, they find their hearts becoming just as tangled as the case. Can Abby and Levi crack the thief’s code and unlock a love worth stealing, or will Levi vanish back into the city’s shadows, leaving Millbrookāand herābehind?

*4.75 stars* This is book one of this series, told in dual first person POV and leaves you with a HEA. This was an enjoyable and at times laugh out loud read.
Abigail (Abby) was an interesting character. I loved that she was a librarian and most of the time found herself in embarrassing moments. I loved that she saw past Leviās reputation and helped him to see there was more to him than what everyone saw. Levi was an interesting character as well. Considering his background, I was surprised that he agreed to help with figuring out who was behind the town break ins.
I definitely didnāt expect the culprit to be who it was, but I enjoyed the way it was revealed. Iām interested to see where this series goes and what comes next from Willa Brooks. I received an advanced readers copy. These thoughts and opinions are my own.
