“LOVED Shelf Awareness. It's sweet and funny and adorable and full of southern goodness! I just adore it!"--Tara Sivec, USA Today bestselling author
Shelf Awareness, an all-new hilarious romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Katie Ashley is available now!
After catching her husband in a compromising position, Finley Granger finds herself in a new hell: reentering the dating world. When she moves in with her grandmother, her great-aunt, and their best friend, Finley finds herself surrounded by a trio of well-meaning yet bumbling matchmakers.
In spite of their efforts, Finley only has eyes for one person, and that’s Zeke Masters—the 6’4”, impossibly built, and ridiculously good-looking new man in town. Along with her nether regions, Finley’s journalistic spidey-senses tingle as to why he’s on sabbatical from Seattle. Is he on the lam or escaping a bad breakup? What’s his story?!?!
As Finley finds herself reluctantly drawn to the gorgeous IT guy, she can’t help but wonder: should she indulge in a rebound tryst with the mysterious Zeke, or has she finally met her match?

REVIEW:
3 stars
***
Shelf Awareness is the fourth book in the Green Valley Library series, which is a spin off of the Winston Brothers series by Penny Reid and part of the Smartypants Romance world. This book was kind of a mixed bag for me. I enjoyed parts and did not enjoy others. This is Finley and Zeke's story. Finley walks in on her husband in bed with her male personal trainer. Heartbroken over the loss of her marriage, she leaves her job as a newspaper editor in Atlanta and moves to her grandmother's small town of Green Valley. There she lives with her grandmother, GramBea, her great aunt and their best friend, who are Tennessee's version of Golden Girls. She begins working at the library in town in the history room. There she meets Zeke, a computer guy who is a volunteer there and who is searching for his birth father. Eventually, they begin a romance.
This story was okay. I didn't feel like there was enough romance. It was more women's fiction and just Finley's story. There was no chemistry between the couple. Their romance was lukewarm and unromantic. They move from friends with benefits to dating at the end of the book. I just felt their relationship was rushed and underdeveloped. Much of the story's focus is on GramBea and her friends. They were good comic relief and kind of sweet, but also a little over the top at times. I also felt like the writing seemed amateur.
Overall, this story was interesting and I was entertained in general, even if I didn't totally love the book. I am still enjoying the Smartypants Romance books and look forward to reading more of them in the future.
