Live by Mary Ann Rivers is the first book in her Burnside series.Destiny Burnside is unemployed and beginning to get desperate over the situation. She diligently visits the library each day to complete job applications and have proof of her job hunt. It also does NOT hurt that a woodcarver on the library restoration crew is just about the hottest man she's ever laid eyes on and he has an accent!!!Hefin Thomas is Welsh, divorced and very unassuming. When the girl he has been surreptitiously watching day-in and day-out starts to break down in the middle of the library he approaches her and tries to help before he's even fully realized what he's doing.So - the meet-cute is out of the way and we spend a great deal of time learning about the characters and their inner-monolgue. It got a little wordy for me at times requiring I actually concentrate (Gasp! The Horror). I know, it's almost like real work :-D Kidding aside it was a book that focuses heavily on the inner conversations and trains-of-thought that make each character act the way they do.I enjoyed the tale enough to be curious about the next book in the series and to hear about Sam.
