An Overdue Match
series: Checking Out Love
About
Can a librarian's matchmaking mischief lead to a love that rewrites their stories?
If the covers of every romance book ever published didn't convince librarian Evangeline Kelly that she isn't heroine material, her fiancé calling off their wedding when she lost her hair to alopecia did. But what's a girl head over heels for love to do when her feelings are unrequited? Matchmake, that's what. Armed with library patrons' check-out histories, she's determined to make at least one love connection--even if it's not her own.
Tattoo artist Tai Davis is used to people judging him with a single glance, so it doesn't surprise him when the town's quirky new librarian believes his bad-boy reputation without giving him a chance. He can't help being intrigued by her, though, so when he discovers Evangeline's secret matchmaking scheme, he's not above striking a bargain with her. She just has to agree to one date with him for every time she uses his hometown knowledge to set up library patrons on a romantic rendezvous. The deal is made, but in the process, they both might learn you can't judge a book--or each other--by the cover.

"The characters felt so real to me, and the story resonated in my soul. This is Sarah Monzon at her best, and I cannot wait for book two!"
Reading Is My SuperPower
"Sarah Monzon knows how to pull on your emotions and draw you into the story so that you feel as if you are right beside them. She does not hold back with the realism that is society and how people judge people based solely on first looks alone without seeing what is beneath the skin. I fell a little in love with both characters. Their struggles were real."
