3.5 Stars rounded up.
This can be read alone, there is no reason to read the first book -I didn't.
I liked the story/mystery and disliked the romance. Go figure! Yes, the mystery was a good one IMO but I found the main character's to be somewhat lacking. the secondary characters were great but very typical to this genre. ex - Gay friend, old rich lady, old eccentric lady, shady youth, and rich teens/YA's, angsty daughter, single father with daughter. Nothing much new here really.
Molly was a bit of a bitch and overly PC, and I found Sheriff John to be spineless and overly PC. I guess as far as being politically correct, they are made for each other! In the first chapter Molly, the children's librarian is so PC that when having the kids decorate Gingerbread cookies, the cookies could not be female - you know the ones with a skirt, so as to not offend anyone. *headdesk,headdesk, eye-roll*
If you like uber PC books about librarians, then you will probably love this book. But I might think of getting it from the library.
I was so looking forward to this book, but it just felt like a YA with characters called adults.

SYNOPSIS: Molly Montgomery couldn’t be more thrilled about starting her new life as head of Children’s Services at Little Bridge Island’s brand-new public library. Happy to have left her problematic ex behind on the mainland, her new life feels like heaven . . . at least until she finds a newborn baby in the library’s public restroom. Then suddenly she begins to wonder if life in Little Bridge isn’t exactly paradise.
But when Sheriff John Hartwell answers Molly’s 911 call, things begin to look up. He couldn’t be kinder (or better looking) and handles the baby—and the hunt for its missing mother—with far more sensitivity and understanding than Molly would have expected from someone who never reads fiction. Maybe there’s more to this tall, taciturn sheriff than meets the eye.
Recently divorced John Hartwell has been having trouble adjusting to single life as well as single parenthood. It doesn’t help that his teenaged daughter, Katie, hates Little Bridge Island and wants to move to the mainland to live with her mom.But something in the sympathetic, smiling eyes of Molly Montgomery gives John hope that things on Little Bridge might be looking up after all—for both himself and, maybe, Katie. But can two such different people ever find happiness together?
