Tansy Perkins is a single mom and a children’s librarian. After a flood destroys her library, she has to work with grumpy Jack Reid to share space in his botanical garden. It was cute. Tansy’s insistence on independence was grating at times. Jack’s character was more likable, despite his gruff presentation. I’d read another book by this author.
Tansy and Jack first meet when Jack finds Tansy returning to the flooding library to save two birds, and he yells at her for risking her life instead of evacuating. He then saves her when she’s trapped at her house and he comes by in a rescue boat. Both are fighting for funding for their programs. They apply for the same grant which causes some tension. Jack is overprotective of his step sister, who is pregnant and has a baby in the book. Jack and Tansy’s dtr hit it off. The side-character friends were amusing at times. (7.75)
