Quick Thoughts: OMG y'all! So I don't read a lot of M/M romance (I think this is my 2nd) and for transparency I did skip the smexy scenes. I fell in love with Mac/Tommy's romance. I loved that they had real speed bumps because of things that we are all prone to do. My heart broke for Tommy but what Mac brought to his life more than made up for it. I want terribly to have more book art in my life after reading this because of Tommy's passion for it. Tommy had my heart from the beginning. I mean he loves audiobooks, creates awesome art, and loves with all his heart. He also had identifiable flaws. Mac was just downright sweet even though I don't think he really was that in his previous relationships. I love that Tommy brought it out in him. My favorite moments in the book though were the chapter headings. Trust me they are lovely! I am so glad I got out my comfort zone for this one!!!

NOTE: I am in the dedication of this book. It did not impact how I felt about the story but it did get me to read something out of my normal romance range: m/m romance

After becoming a Christy Snow fan when I read Right By Your Side the other week, I jumped at the chance to read her latest release Found at The Library. This was my first ever M/M romance, and I was utterly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It was a beautiful, heartwarming story that I ended up reading in one setting. Two guys who both love books, how could you possibly not like a story around that. Being an audiobook addict myself, I felt pretty emotional about Mac's recordings. The supporting characters were nicely developed, too. Tommy's relationship with his brother Ryder was very touching. A sweet, sexy romance, and for once, I actually have nothing to criticize whatsoever. Highly recommended for any romance readers!

So many feels
This is a new to me author and I’m glad I found her work. This book gives us two damaged souls and then we get to watch as those souls find each other and are slowly repaired, albeit in fits and starts.
The MCs here are Mac, a famous author and Tommy an artist who loves books, creates art with them but can’t read them. After getting off to a bad start, fate brings the two of them back together again and we watch the relationship gradually develop.
The writing is crisp and the emotion practically curls up off the page to give you that “tears are coming” throat burn. The big crisis moment is different and the resolution clever and unique. The reconciliation scene is so sweet. The ending with the HEA is heart melting.
It was a quick and enjoyable read and I am moving right on to book two where two of the secondary characters from this book get their story.

I had this book on my TBR for a little while and finally had a chance to read it. I really enjoyed the story. I like books that involve stories about authors and books so was interested in seeing where this went. There was some hard subjects touched on in here. I grew to like the characters and wanted to see what happened with them. I want to see some of Thomas's work as it sounds so interesting. Now I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Still just ok
I really liked the premise of the book and wanted to like it better than I did, but Mac just didn’t do it for me as an MC. His actions at the start were stalkerish and he came across as really arrogant. I would have liked Tommy to be a little worried that a guy he just met stole his key and rearranged his whole shop, regardless of the good intent that should have waved red flags for Tommy
Just ok
Cute book.
I liked the idea of having an author partnered with a dyslexic man. I liked Tommy and his art and found Mac arrogant at the start but the constant back and forth with these two guys didn't work for me.
