What I Learned: Lust in the Library by Amelia Fayer

Lust in the Library
by Amelia Fayer

Some like it hot, and some like it in the reference section
 
Sara is having a love affair with books. But, since books can't make love to you, it means she's in the middle of a very long dry spell. Until a sexy Brit shows up. Suddenly she's learning just how stimulating a library can be—up against a bookcase, behind the card catalog, on the circulation desk . . .

Meanwhile, Veronica is incredibly frustrated. While Sara and her new man are using the library as their personal adult playground, she's stuck with only her thesis and her sexual fantasies. But Andrew, her crush, isn't above using his . . . assets to get Veronica right where he wants her: alone, in a darkened corner of the stacks.

Who knew reading could be this pleasurable?

What I Learned:

• is that there is still this giant stereotype about librarians.  Through the short story, Sara did nothing but think she wasn't good enough because she was only a librarian. Librarians need a Masters in order to do what they do!!! That is a lot of hard work and dedication!!! It honestly makes me question what other occupations are misrepresented in fiction!
• is that as much as I enjoy a good lusty yummy erotica, I need me some back story. I think I can handle short stories as long as they were characters I had read in a longer story.
• is that I can't handle mousy women. Have a little pride and value in yourself!
• is that despite the fact that I REALLY enjoy lots of dialogue, I don't like being told things. I much prefer descriptions.
• is that yes, I may be completely over-reacting, but holy crap I can't believe they did that in the library!!! Pleasuring each other, masturbation, holy cow! As someone who has walked in on such behaviour at a library, I just....... <insert words here because I can't come up with any that can be published>
• is that I ultimately just did not enjoy this short story.
