Stud in the Stacks

By: Pippa Grant

Narrated by: Joe Arden, Karen White

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 if you think that hasn't gotten me plenty of action over the years, you'd be wrong.

But I made a slight miscalculation at work, and now my reputation has my job in danger. If I can't prove to my boss that I'm more than a playboy who recommends romance in the hopes of getting some hanky panky in the stacks, I'm headed for the unemployment line.

Enter Parker Elliott. She rocks a mean guitar, she has no idea how sexy she is, and she's in need of a temporary fake boyfriend. Best of all? She doesn't have a library card. I couldn't have found a better fake fiancee if I'd written her myself.

Contains mature themes.

Female narrator blew this for me

When I read this book last year I thought Parker and Knox were the best of Pippa Grant's couples. Reading it the story is fun and laughable to tears but the female narrator ruined this book. Every word was high pitched like at a climax which was annoying and hard to follow the story. I couldn't even finish which is really too bad because the story is cute and funny. Stick with the kindle version.

Worst of the Pippa Listens

I enjoy this author’s work in general. I think had I read this instead of listened, I would have enjoyed this much more. I found the female narrator to be one of the most irritating voices I have heard in a long while. The story is great. The narrator not so much.

Female narrator almost killed the book.

A romance book about books with a stud and a crazy heroine is almost the perfect recipe. But the female narrator was so bad I actually skipped her chapters on audio and only read them on Kindle. Joe Arden saves it for the audio because well he's just perfect. The recommendations are awesome too. Going to read them next.

great story

this book was very fun to listen to, I loved all the characters and the story line was pretty funny.

Cute!

Definitely have to agree with many others that the female narrator really ruined the story. Not much nuance in the voice or other characters voices and everything was very screechy. But loved the story.

This was so much fun

So great 100/100 I had so much fun and it was so meta-haha but really I may be attached now to our two protagonist who are such nerds. Also, the narrators did a really great job.
This was so much fun

Laugh out loud

It’s been awhile since I listened to this author, and I don’t know why!? She’s so fun, and the characters are so likable. Queueing up the next one…

Very Entertainmen

The only issue I had with this book is the female narrator sounds like she's yelling. Even when the narrative is in her head with herself. It's a bit disconcerting.

So great!

Love love LOVE!!! Such a great listen! Joe Arden is always a favorite/must listen so when paired with Pippa Grant it’s a winner for sure! The storyline was fantastic and original to me. I loved the dialog which I thought was totally believable and hilarious! Just listen to this one!!

Cute story
So many book recommendations in this story because he is a romance librarian. Be still my heart. I also love that gender rolls are kinda reversed in it too.
