The Librarian by Lee Brazil* I received this ARC free from the author in exchange for an honest review*Adrian has been in love with Val since their freshman year at college.  They had a wonderful week together that he will never forget but it doesn't seem like Val remembers.  He has a long standing weekly hair appointment with Val that he looks forward to, even if all Val talks about is his love life.The one bright spot in Val's life is Adrian's weekly hair appointment.  He has come to count on that visit more than he realizes because Adrian is the only constant in his life.  His love life is in the toilet and he has sworn off men, now Adrian has gone and changed the game.  He has never considered Adrian as more than a friend but his actions are causing Val to re-evaluate what he wants out of life.This book pulled me in from the beginning.  The connection between Val and Adrian was obvious from the beginning; it just took Val a little while to figure out what he wanted.  Adrian was an interesting character to watch grow.  He may be a book worm but over the years he has explored his sexual desires and learned what he wants and needs.  He has grown and matured but Val never noticed until he was ready for him to.It was fun watching their cat and mouse game, especially the waxing scene.  Val thought he was being sneaky but Adrian turned the tables on him.  Val has given him all the ammunition he needs to win his heart during their weekly haircut sessions, Adrian just had to put it to use.I love that the book centered on Val and Adrian with minimal secondary characters.  The few that were introduced only added to the story like Val's assistant and Adrian's co-worker.  The story flowed well and provided just enough of their back story to understand the relationship between them.They are a good fit for each other, both are virtually alone in the world and each provides something the other needs.  Adrian has always known who he wants but it seems like Val has been running from his true feelings since his freshmen year at college.Overall I loved this story and give The Librarian 4 Flaming Hearts.
