Review: 100% loved it! - I have thoroughly enjoyed Jenn's mystery series the Library Lovers series. I didn't know she also wrote romance novels. I began a couple of days ago with Love At First Book, and I could not put it down. It was such a wonderful read! There was a great story to go along with the romance which developed. Also a great cast of characters, and my favourite setting for a book- Ireland! I 100% recommend this as a great read, the kind which restores your faith in all that's good about mankind. ## Features - Binding: paperback - Language: english - Manufacturer: Penguin - Brand: Penguin - Publication date: 2024-05-16T00:00:01Z ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #45,797 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #655 in Contemporary Romance #6,525 in Genre Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 49 Reviews | ## Images ![PENGUIN Love At First Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yHTV04SjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ best book ever *by D***A on 11 September 2024* read it, no second thoughts! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% loved it! *by S***G on 12 May 2026* I have thoroughly enjoyed Jenn's mystery series the Library Lovers series.

A sort-of-sequel to Summer Reading, it stars that novel's second banana heroine, librarian Emily Allen. Anxiety-ridden after a lifetime on Martha's Vineyard with her cruel mother, Emily is looking to start over. So when she gets an offer to work for her all-time favorite author, Siobhan Riordan, she moves to Ireland. Siobhan's fantasy series was a lifeline for Emily in her formative years, so helping to shape the highly anticipated next installment -- a novel ten years in the making -- seems like destiny. However, the gig isn't without issues. It includes a stint at The Last Chapter, a bookshop that just happens to be run by Siobhan's gorgeous and curmudgeonly son. Kieran makes no secret of his distaste for Emily and her mission to remedy his mother's writer's block. Yet instead of letting herself be intimidated as she would've back home, Em challenges Kier's every objection, embracing the chance to reinvent herself. The result is a fiery frenemy-ship that ignites into something more. But as any book lover knows, no happy ending comes without its hardships. That said, as Em ventures more deeply into editorial terrain with Siobhan, she learns that there are some things that not even the luck of the Irish can fix. Charming and chock full of literary quotes to earn the respect of any bibliophile, Love at First Book is for anyone who loves books as much as they love love and vice versa. In other words, modern fairy tale magic. ## Frequently Bought Together - Love At First Book - Seven Summers: An epic love story from the Sunday Times bestselling author --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/600643695-penguin-love-at-first-book](https://www.desertcart.at/products/600643695-penguin-love-at-first-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
