They're not quite enemies. Not really friends. More like frustrated balls of sexual tension and neither will give in.

Lance Gibson drives Mariah Malarkey absolutely crazy. He uses her office like a phone booth, takes cupcakes from the corner of her desk like she baked them just for him. She didn't. Maybe she knew the history teacher happened to love peanut butter icing, but that was purely a coincidence. All sixteen times.

Mariah has a way of getting under Lance's skin too. She calls him out on his crap, spoils him even if inadvertently, and seeing the librarian in skirts drives him wild. She won't give in. It's for the best, really, considering there's no way he 

could lie to a woman like that and he's not about to tell her the truth about himself. Not in a million years.

These two don't hate each other. They don't really like each other. But for this to be a friends-to-lovers story, they have to start somewhere, right?

Note: This can be read as a standalone novel.

Actual Rating: 3.5 stars

Craft is an adorable and funny, enemies to lovers romance. I suppose it could also be considered a co-workers romance and/or friends to lovers as well. It depends on how you look at the relationship I guess. Anyway, this is a really cute book with very likable characters and moments that were LOL funny. While I wish the plot had a richer description of the setting, I got enough of a feel for it to want to dive back into the previous books and possible future ones. For me as a reader, I love a lot of description when it comes to the town and where a lot of the romance takes place because it gives me the ability to go somewhere else. But, if it is lacking, it feels to much like a conversation instead of a a novel. That's just me though. Some may look past this. 

This novel is the second book in the Gibson Bothers series but it can totally stand alone. From what I can gather, the series is interconnected (hello, it revolves around brothers), but you don't need to read the other ones to fully enjoy this one. You can read the books in any order you chose, just as I have. 

With that, if you like a story with humor, heart, and a sweet romance then I would recommend this one to you. The hero in this one is an absolute favorite of mine, and I fell head over heels with him right away. He has the best sense of humor (a little dirty, but so funny) and I can relate to it. The heroine is a librarian and many of us readers can relate to that because we have a love of books. Wohoo!
