Stud in the Stacks (The Girl Band Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Pippa Grant (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

"Steamy, sexy, and laugh out loud funny." ~ 5 Stars, Smut Book Junkie Book Reviews

He's a librarian by day and the ideal fake boyfriend by night.

When it comes to women, I know what they want. And all day long, I give it to them. Dark, broody, and sexy? You got it. Need to laugh? I’m your guy. Desperate for something to put you in the mood? You’ve come to the right place, kitten.

Every morning when my library opens, there’s a line around the block, the ladies flocking to me in need of their next book boyfriend. I’m that dude. The one who knows his way around the romance section.

And after years of study, my skills don't stop at the day job. Need a fake boyfriend, fiancé, or friend-with-benefits? I know that plot. I also know to keep my heart off the table, because love is only real between the pages of a book.

So when Parker Elliott needs a temporary fake boyfriend for a reunion, of course I step in. She rocks a mean guitar, she has no idea how attractive she is, and we have something of a history.

Easy, right?

Yep. Piece of cake.

Except this time, I'm actually in danger of falling in love.

Stud in the Stacks is 55,000 sexy, hilarious, sometimes embarrassing words, complete with tacos, romance novel love, unicorn parties, and no cheating or cliffhangers.

Pippa Grant wanted to write books, so she did.

Before she became a USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling romantic comedy author, she was a young military spouse who got into writing as self-therapy. That happened around the time she discovered reading romance novels, and the two eventually merged into a career. Today, she has more than 30 knee-slapping Pippa Grant titles and nine published under the name Jamie Farrell.

When she’s not writing romantic comedies, she’s fumbling through being a mom, wife, and mountain woman, and sometimes tries to find hobbies. Her crowning achievement? Having impeccable timing for telling stories that will make people snort beverages out of their noses. Consider yourself warned.

    I found this book very entertaining and the author has a great writing style that is really pulling me in, so much so, that i am going to have to read the next book in the series and the next lol.

    I loved that Know is a Romance reader and a librarian, be still my beating hormones. Just having a man that reads would be nice for me lol, my husband does not read books at all to my horror.

    I liked Parker and yes, she did have issues, but i did find her endearing. I also loved how she got her mojo back with Knox helping her to feel better about herself and shoring up her self worth.

    I liked that we got to see prevue characters in this book too and look forward to seeing how the rest of the characters lives play out.

    Hilariously funny!

    Mr Romantic is the romance blogger all the women swoon over, especially when he has abs for days and acts like every fictional man written by a woman. Knox is barely making ends meet while working in a library and living with his Gran and he never thought he would find himself in his next fake relationship with his ex-babysitter. Who bid on him while he was dressed as Tarzan at a charity event and lost.

    Parker never knew Tarzan was a goofy boy she used to babysit when trying to bag a fake fiance for her school reunion. All she knew was that she needed a quick fix and this was the last resort. She never thought he would actually get in touch after she threw her number at him while walking away with her tail between her legs after losing out on the bidding war.

    Knox and Parker are super funny together and Knox is helping Parker learn many new things even though she is the older and more mature partner in the relationship. There were lots of jungle references especially when it came to Tarzan and Jane which kept ewwing me out when used too much. Overall I laughed way too much and swooned for Knox's ability to put book boyfriend moves into practice.

    Absolutely hilarious, especially the talented autocorrect feature on Parker's phone. This romo-com is so worth the read for the phone alone, but the chemistry between Knox anx Parker is amazing. The fact a male advocates for romance novels and is the sexy librarian brings the heat and the character growth is just perfect. Pippa Grant sure knows how to write everythkng just perfectly x

    This author has kept me awake reading into the wee hours of the morning far too many times. And there’s no trying to read quietly in bed while hubby sleeps beside me. Reading a Pippa Grant book is anything but a quiet experience. I dare you to read her work and not laugh out loud several times. It’s a physical impossibility. Like touching your tongue to your elbow, it cannot be done. And this book is full of zany hilarity, from absurdly racy and outrageous autocorrected texts to a slapstick scene of the heroine with an unfortunate habit of misreading restroom signs and her uncontrolled babbling, there is an abundance of side-splitting scenes.

    This is an author who clearly doesn’t take things too seriously. In case the fake fiancé trope isn’t enough, she tosses in a hot librarian, bachelor auction, and even a babysitter trope to top things off. Her book titles are clearly tongue-in-cheek, and (dare I say it?) seem to poke fun at those serious alpha, virgin, billionaire, yada yada, titles that have quickly grown tiresome. These things, alone, would attract me to Ms. Grant's work, but after reading just one book, I had to read them all. Call it compulsion, addiction or obsession, I can’t get enough! Her work is like that first warm day of spring after a wet, frigid winter, or the beautiful rainbow after a violent thunderstorm – unique, refreshing, and delightfully surprising.

    This one has a little of everything, starting with Knox, a sexy Mr. Romance blogger/librarian with a hero complex, and Parker, the nerdy girl who grew up smart and beautiful but has yet to realize the beautiful part. First of all, how can you not fall for a guy who knows and loves romance novels? And when the nerdy girl gets the chance to face down all the mean girls and bullying jocks at the high school reunion? Epic. Add in Parker’s gal pals, the puck brother giants, Zeus and Ares, Parker's four huge, overprotective brothers, and Mr. Romance's nana who never met a subtle word and it’s good times all around. Really, though, there’s so much more to this book.

    Yes, there’s a lot of endorphin-producing laughter, but there are plenty of hot times and enough heart to make the puck brothers look toddler-size in comparison. Not only the emotion in the relationship between Knox and Parker, as well as relationships with secondary characters, but the heart that is truly, well, the heart of the romance genre. Mr. Romance says it best, that romance novels “are really about humanity’s hope and struggles and triumphs” and encourage readers to be better people and do more “volunteering, donating to good causes, and raising the next generation of men and women” to also be better people. The strong message of this book is that romance novels are nothing to be ashamed of reading, but their human elements of humor, sensuality and emotion should be shared and celebrated. This one will touch all the little corners of your mind, heart and soul, and you’ll be ready to start your own Pippa Grant book club so you can share her work with all your friends.

    Reviewed in the United States on 5 January 2018

    I loved Pippa Grant’s first published novel, Mr. McHottie, and was really looking forward to reading her follow-up book, Stud in the Sacks. I was not disappointed. While the new Hero and Heroine in this book were Parker and Knox, I was happy to also read the continuation of the storyline of their friends from McHottie, Chase and Sia, and their family members because they are people I have grown to love!

    Oh Parker! She is such a mess and starts off with little confidence. We have all felt that way at one time or another and I could really relate to her and feel her pain of not fitting in, but it really consumed her and carried into her professional life as well as her personal life. She has many qualities I admire in a female heroine–she can laugh at her self, she goes after what she wants even though she is insecure, she is a smart businesswoman and financially independent, and she likes to help others.

    After she meets Knox again after many years (I won’t ruin the surprise of how they knew each other) I felt their immediate attraction to one another. I loved Knox and how confident he was, how he continually let Parker know how awesome she really was, and how super sexy he was and they were together! I really admired how Knox loved reading romance novels and had his own blog in addition to working as a librarian, how he lived with his grandmom, and how he stood up to his boss, Parker’s brothers, and for Parker whenever the opportunity presented itself. He possessed all the qualities of a hero to me! I just thought Parker tried to control him a bit by repeatedly suggesting he market his blog when he told her he did it just for fun.

    There were a lot of good laughs as well as sweet moments in this book, especially Knox repeatedly trying to charm Parker. The only thing I would change would be Parker's personality. I think her insecurities were a bit over the top and continued through most of the book to the point of her not wanting to have children of her own and her brothers feeling they still needed to protect her even though she was in her 30s. I prefer a stronger heroine and she couldn't get over how she was treated in high school even though Knox found her very attractive and she was a successful business person. I was disappointed towards the end of the book how she reacted when he told her how he felt. She finally did come around at the end of the book which was a credit to Knox and his determination that she see herself the way that he saw her. Knox was the real deal and proved it over and over again! I would date him in a heartbeat!

    This book does have a happy ending so I absolutely do recommend it, especially if you read and enjoyed Mr. McHottie. I am looking forward to reading the next book about Sia's brothers who play hockey. I read an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
