Book Summary: 

He created the robot that stole her job… can she stop him from stealing her heart?

I’ve finally got my life on track, working at a cute little, small-town library in Maple Valley. I even put a down payment on a house, and then promptly got fired. Why, you ask? Because the new hire doesn’t need breaks and will work for free. How can I compete with that?

Smexy tech billionaire Bryan Brooks is the person to blame, and he doesn’t want my dream job for himself—that I might understand. No, he built a shelving robot named after my favorite poet and donated it to the library so that it can replace me.

I hate how good he looks in his viral posts and the fact that he has time to talk about my favorite books but can’t be bothered to find a shirt.

I’ll never forgive him. Not even when he shows me his personal library, complete with floor-to- ceiling books and a rolling ladder. And definitely not when he kisses me while whispering delicious literary quotes that set every inch of me on fire. How can I ever get over the fact that he destroyed my life

Mini Review:

I have to admit, this book was incredibly cute, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Honestly, I’m amazed at how much Mia Sands and Danika Bloom were able to pack into just 84 pages! In such a short read, they managed to firmly establish well-rounded characters, create an emotional twist, and include plenty of humor and steam. It’s remarkable how they delivered just about everything you would expect from a full-length novel within such a compact format.

Bryan and Jane were perfect for each other and easy to adore as they each had their unique quirks and qualities (especially Jane’s sense of humor, wit, and just blunt honesty). The emotional twist made you sympathize with Jane’s character, becoming protective of her reasoning as to why Bryan was not an ideal or likely partner. With such a short novella, you might assume conflict would be avoided, but the addition was both surprising and satisfying, adding depth to the story and keeping me fully engaged. The humor was spot-on (I loved it when Jane spoke right off the cuff—no filter!), providing light-hearted moments that balanced the more intense emotional conflicting moments and intimate scenes.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a short, satisfying romantic comedy. Despite being a quick read, “Shelve That Billionaire” felt complete and left me eagerly anticipating the next book in the series.
