John Hartwell the town sheriff has been plagued by an uncatchable thief. Trying to balance work and being a single dad to a teenage daughter, he just needs a break, one clue in the case to the string of break-ins. That clue comes in the unlikely form of an abandoned baby found in the library by Molly Montgomery. Molly's new to town and happy to be restarting her life away from everything it used to be. Despite his warnings, she finds herself wrapped up in solving his case, and in him.

No Offense was a sweet, light read with a little bit of a mystery tied in. I liked that the main characters were not in their 20's, both are pretty well developed and likable. I have not read the first in the series and didn't feel lost in the plot, It read well as a standalone. It's a good cute, easy read for a quick distraction if you like contemporary romance and cozy mysteries.

I didn't read the first book in this series, but it didn't matter. This was a really cute story. A little heavy on the misunderstanding/awkward trope. But enjoyable nonetheless.

I love anything that Meg Cabot writes, and this book did not disappoint. It is the second book in the Little Bridge Island series. And in this we are introduced to Molly Montgomery, who is the new Children's Librarian. She loves her job and it happy with how everything is working out, until she finds a baby abandoned in the library's bathroom. When she calls 911, she is introduced to the gruff Sheriff John Hartwell. Molly takes it upon herself to investigate why someone would abandon a baby, and along the way butts head with the sheriff.

Molly has her hands full working as a public librarian, from dealing with a patron's inappropriate cookie decorating during a program to finding an abandoned baby in the restroom. There is never a dull moment. In addition to her day job she works in the evening for the local bed and breakfast owned by a friend of her mother's. When the local sherriff starts investigating the abandoned baby case he is intriqued by the new children's librarian in this little Florida town. As John and Molly are thrown together during a search for answers, a relationshp begins to blossom between this single dad and the new librarian. When John's daughter ropes him into dancing with her during the squad's annual mother-daughter fund-raising event, it is evident that a more serious relationship may be in the cards. Enjoyable and fast-paced.

No Offense is the latest in Meg Cabot's Little Bridge Island series, and focuses on the new librarian and the local sheriff of a small Florida island. The romance was believable and predictable (in a good way), and as always, Meg Cabot's writing style and humor was evident, as was her ability to fully transport the reader into the world of Little Bridge Island. I will definitely be re-reading this delightful book, and recommend it to anyone who wants a light romance with realistic (non-obnoxious) characters.

I adore Meg Cabot. I smile from the anticipation of reading a novel written by her, smile during the reading because of the characters and the story, and remain smiling after. she is a wonderful writer and No Offense was a good book!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a wonderful escape with love, mystery, libraries and pie!
The realness of the characters and their imperfections is wonderful.

This book was great! It was so easy to lose yourself in the story, and kept you turning pages to see what happened next! Will definitely be recommending!

I couldn't make it to the end of this one. The characters were flat and devolved into cliches. I had read the first in the series and wasn't terribly impressed, but at least that one had a plot that moved. I found myself wondering what I was even wasting my time reading this. I'm disappointed.

No Offense is an easy, breezy contemporary romance book.
This was a cute book. It isn't meant to be anymore then what it is, an entertaining and easy book to escape to.

I liked romance between the children's librarian and the divorced local sheriff, plus there is a mystery involving a baby abandoned in the library.

Book was well written, the characters weren't that complex but they were still nicely written. The conclusion of the book was well done and I will definitely continue with the series.

Meg Cabot is back with an adult contemporary novel. The female protagonist is a librarian, so I just knew I had to read this book. I would recommend for a quick, light read.

No Offense by Meg Cabot is a perfectly Cabot-y contemporary romance. This story takes place in the Florida Keys and is the second in Cabot's new series set in Little Bridge Island. It was fun to recognize some recurring characters from the first book in the series, No Judgements.

No Offense features a children's librarian lead, and as a librarian-in-training, I felt like this book pandered to me directly (minus the handsome cop romantic lead). Basically, spunky librarian gets caught up in a mystery that leads her to interactions with the town's sheriff. Hijinks and love ensue. Pretty cute; not groundbreaking stuff, but a funny, cute romance.

This was a really fun, fluffy read. I didn't realize it was part of a series until I finished it, so I went back and read the first book too. Definitely a great, little distraction read.

Launched into the character-driven world of Little Bridge Island, we meet the likable if a bit unrealistic Molly Montgomery, town Children’s Librarian. Molly is extremely focused on her dream job, and demonstrates compassion for everyone around her. When she encounters new town Sheriff John Hartwell, she’s thrown off by his demeanor (and looks), while he is thrown off by her assertive curiosity.

This light, gratifying love story is cozy and familiar. While Molly and John find their way together, a string of crimes threatens to pull them apart. The story is an enjoyable read – and Cabot gets bonus points for getting most everything about being a public librarian right – but it was pretty flat, with little character development. This will make for a good Saturday afternoon read for a fan of the genre, but lacks complexity that would make it more compelling and memorable.

I do love me some Meg Cabot, and some librarian main characters. This was breezy and fairly predictable, but I am not opposed to that in any way some days. I love the small town setting, too.

Quite slow in the beginning, to the point where I had to take a break and pump myself up before starting it again. As a youth library assistant, reading a story like this was quite exciting as it was the first romance novel I read with a librarian in the Youth department! I wanted to connect with this so bad, but it was cliched to the point where I was taken out of the zone of reading. It didn’t keep my attention as much as I wanted it to. A great plot idea, but wasn’t executed well for me.

A story of a of two people plagued by miscommunication and misunderstanding. Will they ever find a way to communicate and see if there is a relationship there?

I was so excited that Meg Cabot wrote a book about librarians! I really liked that Molly was shown as modern librarian, not a stuffy old shusher.

The novels starts with Molly finding a baby left in the box of the bathroom in the library. Sheriff John comes to investigate the case and is immediately smitten with the young librarian. Molly, however does not agree with his upholding the law, and thinks that he should not act as the baby's mother is a criminal. As John investigates the abandon baby and a string of break ins, he and Molly are constantly thrown together.

I felt that John and Molly's relationship felt kind of forced. Molly went from quickly not liking John, to in a relationship with not real indication of why her feelings should change- except word of mouth from others. However, it was a quick read and I did like how librarians were portrayed.

Cute, predictable, easy read. Exactly what I expect with a Meg Cabot book. Characters a good and its a fun light read. Perfect for getting you mind of the real world.

No Offense was another sweet and fluffy installment in Meg Cabot's Little Bridge series (although it can be read as a standalone). Perfect for readers who are looking a light and easy read!
