This book is one that I could recommend for a female audience who enjoys fictional lifestyles regardless of if they are relatable. Meg Cabot has a bit of a formula so you need to be in the mood for it! But if you are, it's a good time.

I can officially knock ‘read a Meg Cabot’ off my imaginary ‘authors to read’ list.
This wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great and I say that simply because there were times that rather than focusing on the book, it served more as background noise and My mind would be somewhere else. There were definitely parts that didn’t hold my attention. This is the romance between a librarian and the sheriff with a mystery element woven in. I like how librarians literally are superheroes in this one, and I like how in this book we see librarians saving the day in so many different ways, which I’m sure is very accurate of their day-to-day. It felt like a nod to those who love to read, and the fantastic work librarians do and those aspects of the book impacted me more than the romance or the mystery I think. I’ll give Meg Cabot another try eventually. This one was just okay.

When Molly Montgomery finds an abandoned baby in the bathroom of Little Bridge library's children's area, her first inclination is to use her finely-tuned armchair investigator skills to help local law enforcement solve the case. Sheriff John Hartwell is busy trying to nab the cultishly charming leader of the Sunshine Kids but the baby case will lead him on a new journey, one he's not all that upset about when he sees the lithe, new librarian who found the baby. Molly and John find themselves attracted to one another and hijinks will, of course, ensue. Perhaps they can solve a case or two on their way to romance.

Meg Cabot employs the classic romance trope - opposites attract - in her trademark light and amusing voice. No Offense is a breezy and fun read that will keep you interested and entertained. Fans of Cabot's previous work, Jennifer Weiner, Sophie Kinsella, etc. will enjoy this story.

"Cabot returns to the “Little Bridge Island” series with another engaging read (after No Judgment). Rom-com fans looking to extend the beach-reading season should find this their next go-to read." — Library Journal

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This series from Meg Cabot is just fun. I especially love the setting. No Offense was a fun, feel-good read.

Molly Montgomery leaves the Colorado Rockies to take her dream job as the head of children’s services for the Little Bridge Island Public Library. The small town is quaint, and she loves her job. Drama and romance ensue is this very cute, sweet romance. 3.5 stars.

No Offense by Meg Cabot A special thanks to William Marrow and NetGalley for the ARC. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Meg Cabot always delivers a charming funny story that I never want to put down. When Molly’s relationship falls apart she moves to Little Bridges Island, Florida To be their children’s library in not long after starting her new job she finds a baby in the bathroom in a trash bag box. After warming the freezing baby up she calls the sheriff John Hartwell the baby is taken to the local hospital. But more shocking is the next day she finds the mother of the baby dying in the new library that the town has built. The sheriffs office has been working a case of thefts that they haven’t had a break on. Until Molly and John start putting the cases together.
I always enjoy a good Meg Cabot! Her novels are usually light hearted and upbeat and this is no exception!

This was exactly the light beachy read I was hoping for. I grew up loving Meg Cabot's YA novels, but I hadn't read any of her adult titles prior to this. I am so glad that I did because it was just as magical as I hoped it would be.

I was a lover of Meg Cabot from a young age and read many of her adult novels in my early 20’s. This one fell a little short of my expectations but was cute nonetheless.

I wanted to give this book a try because I found the premise interesting, and I am a huge fan of both the Princess Diaries series & the Mediator series by Meg Cabot. I was intrigued about a romance between a children's librarian & local sheriff and while it was a cute romance - I found myself not connecting to any of the characters in the book like I have done in Meg Cabot's YA titles. Overall, I don't think this particular series was for me, but I will still be keeping an eye out for any new titles written by the author. While this book was not for me, I would still recommend this book to anyone wanting to read a quick, cute romance.

This book is so sweet, and cozy and I loved it way more than I expected! No Offense is the second book in the Little Bridge series, and so far my favorite. I love that you get to see more of the townspeople in this book (I literally want to move to Little Bridge), and I loved that this book was duel point of view. Molly and John had great chemistry and I loved their banter and the way they balanced each other out.

I started reading the book, but was not drawn in & decided not to continue reading. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book, but it unfortunately just didn't work for me to continue with it.

Not one of Cabot's best - I liked the idea of an enemies to lovers at the office, but ultimately it fell short.

Molly Montgomery has moved to Little Bridge Island, FL to be the children’s librarian. She never knew it would be so exciting until she finds. Baby in the bathroom and the sheriff comes to the library. ARC from NetGalley.

This was such a cute romcom. It was the perfect book to get me out of my reading slump. This is the second book in the Little Bridge Island series. This can be read as a standalone but would be better enjoyed as part of the series.

This is a small town romance, with a little mystery and great characters. The banter between Molly and John was the best. This book has a little bit of it all. There is romance, steam, humor, and so much more. This is such an easy read that will have you hooked right from the start. I highly recommend checking this series out!

Thank you Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

As a librarian, I jumped on the chance to read this book! Unfortunately, it just didn't do it for me. I enjoyed the librarian and sheriff bit, and the mystery initially intrigued me. However, I tired of the plot fairly early on, and it fell short for me. I also didn't feel the connection between the main characters and wished that had been developed a bit more. Overall, a bit of a disappointment, but not awful.

I received an electronic ARC from HarperCollins Publishers through NetGalley.
2.5 stars
Cabot's second book in this series involves the new children's librarian and the newer sheriff. Each is passionately committed to their jobs and each has a failed relationship in their past. They first work together when Molly finds an abandoned baby in the library bathroom. The next day she finds the young mother close to death in the new library. These portions are told with a gentle touch and set up the first conflicts between Molly and John.
Gentle humor carries the story though the characters are a bit flat. The comic aspects of romance are at the forefront of their relationship. Few sparks fly but somehow they become involved. The obligatory rocky section takes place after their first intimate time together when they disagree about the sheriff's contact with the young woman's parents and provides information about Tabitha and her new daughter.
The book includes various romance genre cliches but tells a sweet story.

I love beaches and books about librarians, so this book was definitely up my alley. Romance is my genre of choice, and this one definitely did not disappoint!

After not really liking the first book in this series I should’ve known better than to try it again because this one wasn’t great for me either. I really think I’m just not the right reader for this author

No Offense is the second novel in the Little Bridge Island Series. I loved the novella and the first book, and I absolutely loved this one. Molly is new to Little Bridge Island and has just taken over as the head children’s librarian. She becomes entangled with the island’s sheriff, John, when she finds an abandoned baby in the library’s bathroom. John is newly single and has just moved back to his hometown as he is continually thrown into Molly’s path. Both characters are focused on helping their community, however they have very different approaches and they tend to clash with one another. I loved that the protagonist was a librarian, as I am currently getting my master degree in library sciences. Molly is very relatable and genuinely wants to help and do the right thing.
