Laws of Attraction

Title continues her charming Librarians in Love contemporary series with this heartwarming and amusing third installment (after Falling for Trouble). Fresh off a breakup with the latest in a string of ho-hum boyfriends, Becky Schrader is just looking for a hot one-night stand. She gets more than she bargained for when she meets delightfully bearded Foster Deacon, who’s sporting the hottest of rugged lumberjack looks. Too late, she discovers the lumberjack bit is a lie; Foster is actually the new hotshot lawyer coming on at the firm where she’s the law librarian. The pair rub each other the wrong way at work, until they start rubbing each other the right way after hours. But Foster doesn’t plan to stay in Denver forever, and Becky isn’t likely to leave. The story is warm and gentle without making the protagonists’ choices too easy. Fans of the series and new readers alike will be eager for the next installment. Agent: Louise Fury, Bent Agency. (Nov.)
