They Met in the Library By Nell Iris

Released: January 16, 2021

Length: 65 pages
Cover Design: Written Ink Designs
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?

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.

Nell Iris is a romantic at heart who believes everyone deserves a happy ending. She’s a bona fide bookworm (learned to read long before she started school), wouldn’t dream of going anywhere without something to read (not even the ladies room), loves music (and singing along at the top of her voice but she’s no Celine Dion), and is a real Star Trek nerd (Make it so). She loves words, bullet journals, poetry, wine, coffee-flavored kisses, and fika (a Swedish cultural thing involving coffee and pastry!)
Nell believes passionately in equality for all regardless of race, gender or sexuality, and wants to make the world a better, less hateful, place.
Nell is a bisexual Swedish woman married to the love of her life, a proud mama of a grown daughter, and is approaching 50 faster than she’d like. She lives in the south of Sweden where she spends her days thinking up stories about people falling in love. After dreaming about being a writer for most of her life, she finally was in a place where she could pursue her dream and released her first book in 2017.
Nell Iris writes gay romance, prefers sweet over angsty, short over long, and quirky characters over alpha males.

GiveawayHugo Thorson fell i love when he was sixteen. He's maybe been in love since, but probably not. He's been too busy directing plays to devote much time to men who can't accept all of him. No one ever made him feel like his first love did.

DystopianAn epic blend of fantasy, myth and romance. Aislinn is one kickass heroine definitely made for the loving of a god. Fionn, God of Wisdom to be exact.
