Love in the Stacks is part of a series of erotica designed to be read in an hour or two - and it delivers high quality for this format! The cast of characters is kept small and is naturally focused on the hero and heroine. The scene is likewise kept small, with 90% of the short read taking place in the library where the couple both work. Despite the condensed form, the author manages to convey a sense of something other than “love/lust at first sight,” as it is obvious that an interest and attraction had been growing between the two MCs, and that we are only seeing the climax (no pun intended) of that growing tension. The hero, Ben, is also neurodivergent in some way, and I appreciated the effort the author made to include this sort of representation.
Some of the “sexy times” language had me wincing - but these were probably just my personal caveats and preferences.
