What man could possibly resist the charms of a librarian?<br><br>OK, so yeah - I did make it sound silly - and really, parts of it were. The purple prose, the owl living in the house - but for a 26-year-old category romance I was pleasantly surprised how well it held up. Also I didn't find myself slogging through it - so yeah, some of the charm was still there after all these years.Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-23582580288978621722009-06-02T18:36:35.319-07:002009-06-02T18:36:35.319-07:00No need to enter me 'cause I have a copy of th...No need to enter me 'cause I have a copy of this book.
