To say Sabrina Logan doesn’t get out much would be a huge understatement. Just because she was born and raised in Green Valley doesn’t mean she’s comfortable, you know, being in Green Valley. If we’re getting down to it, Sabrina isn’t really comfortable anywhere except her family’s ranch and her job at the library.
I was a shy hermit, prone to fits of anxiety. I was a hot mess of insecurity and doubt, wrapped up in a cozy blanket of fear.

Favorite Quotes:
By now I was pretty sure that every time I looked directly at him my IQ lowered because I could not think of one stinking word to say to him. I opened my mouth anyway though, just in case the flirt fairy decided to bless me with a witty anecdote or some charming repartee. Nope. That was a big fat nothing coming out of my mouth.
I was beginning to develop suspicions that he was as nice as he was hot. And that made him just like a unicorn. A total keeper.

Nora Everly continues the Green Valley Library series with Crime and Periodicals, an utterly sweet confection and lovely addition to Penny Reid’s Green Valley World.
After one too many deaths in her family, Sabrina Logan has devoted her life to taking care of her family while retreating into her books. She’s extremely shy and anxious but she’s no hermit. She hides in plain sight as an assistant librarian and has thus far managed to evade all notice except for the newly relocated Sheriff Hottie ...more

4.25 stars!
This was my first Nora Everly book, and I just love it when an author surprises me. As always, it feels so good to be back in Penny’s world of Green Valley, and these authors nail that particular writing. Very well done! I’m a sucker for a single parent romance, and in this book it gave me that x2! You have to read the book to find out all those details because this girl doesn’t like to give anything away.

This book is another winner in the Smartypants Romance world. Crime and Periodicals is my first introduction to Nora Everly and I really enjoyed her writing. Sabrina is a VERY shy librarian trying to break out of her shell and start to experience the world. Wyatt is a swoon worthy sheriff and a sexy single dad. Their worlds collide when Sabrina is pulled over on the side of the road tending to her autistic and adorable nephew when Wyatt comes to her rescue. There is an ...more

Crime and Periodicals is one of those novels you could totally see as a Hallmark movie. It's heart-warming and uplifting in its portrayal of two selfless individuals who life hasn't always been very kind. At the same time, it packs the angst and romance along with a delicious smidge of steam. Besides the two strong leads, you get a colorful cast of side characters who add to the novel's appreciation and beauty. There's also some familiar Green Valley faces whose appearance will make you swoon

Another one bites the dust! Despite what it looks like, I am trying to give these installments of this series a fair shot but I'm just not feeling this. "Crime and Periodicals" was effy and I'm sure the only character I had a liking to was Harry. I mean how can you not like him?! Otherwise everything else fell under the same category as the early releases. Wyatt and Sabrina weren't much to rave about and due to the lame nature of the plot, I had ended skimming more than actually read. ...more
This was a cute story!
There was nothing really going on. I think I would love it better if I had a connection with our main characters.

Crime and Periodicals is a cute book. It has a very Hallmark Movie type of story, and while that might be appealing to a lot of readers (absolutely no shade guys, if you like very sweet books, go for it) it was just too light for me.
What I really enjoyed about this book is that it details situations and differences in a very warm and accepting way. For example, Sabrina is a 27 year old librarian that is a virgin and suffers from extreme social anxiety, but that's ok. People accept that. She also ...more

This is the first book I've read by this author, and I love it! This is one of the Spartypants Romance novels, written in the existing world of Green Valley created by Penny Reid - part of the Pennyverse. The characters and the story are wonderfully written; I loved library assistant Sabrina, and Sheriff Deputy Wyatt. Divorced Wyatt has two of the cutest little girls, and has returned to Green Valley to raise them with help from his mom, and support from his brothers. Sabrina is terribly shy,

Ok....man, I’m not sure where to start...I absolutely, totally, 100% LOVED this book. Sabrina is possibly one of my favorite characters ever. Her awkwardness is so relatable and endearing. I loved that we got to see her grow and participate in the world, and not just observe it (I’m so guilty of doing the same). Her love for her niece & nephews is so strong you can just feel it coming off the pages. And Wyatt....I love him. He is so swoon worthy. Like Sabrina, you can feel his love for his

This book is AMAZING! I didn’t want it to end. I absolutely loved the heroine. She is so relatable—confident but shy in social situations. And the hero? Be still my heart. Who wouldn’t love a hot sheriff single dad?
The romance was so sweet and the pair were a match made in heaven. The suspense was slight but still made me want to keep on reading. I love everything about this book. If you like sweet talking heroes and shy, socially awkward heroines, READ THIS BOOK!

I loved everything about Sabrina Logan! Not only was this a romance journey, but also a journey of self-discover and empowerment for Sabrina and this author represented her strengths and weaknesses beautifully and unfolded her growth realistically with a hint of humor that just settled in my heart and made me smile! There wasn’t a single page of this book I did not enjoy!

This one is so cute. I’m really enjoying this series. Yes, I’m reading these before the Winston Brothers. But I think it’ll be just fine. This one is very fluffy and sweet. Sabrina is a virgin with social anxiety. She loves books. Wyatt is the handsome sheriff with two daughters. And Sabrina is raising her nephew. So, yeah there’s going to be a happily after ever. It didn’t have much happening with the story, just events like daily life. I wish there had been more substance to the plot, but I

I had a hard time getting into this book because not much happened in it, and i also didn't really like how insta-love this was. What i enjoyed tho was the relationship they both had with the kids, it was cute

First a 20 yr celibate heroine and now a virgin! This series sucks!

Well, this was just such a sweet book! You know those stories that just have you smiling when you set it down? Wyatt and Sabrina were both kind, wonderful people who had some brokenness and heartache to get through.
I loved watching Sabrina become more and more open throughout the course of the book. Her crippling shyness was almost painful to “witness” at first, but she had a fantastic inner dialogue and you really felt for her. I found myself laughing out loud multiple ...more

I read this book in one day because I loved it so much!! If you want to write a hot alpha male type cop this is how you do it. Wyatt respects Sabrina and wants to protect her but is not into telling her what to do or how to live her life. I loved loved Sabrina! She is shy and has major anxiety issues. She sees a therapist, loves to read, and is trying to open herself up to experience. “Holy Hufflepuffs!” I related so much to Sabrina. I may or may not have swooned at parts of this story because I

I loved everything about this book. Not only is it set in my favorite place ever in the PennyVerse, Happy Valley, but the characters are just perfect. Both Sabrina and Wyatt have baggage, and quite a bit of it, but it doesn't stop them from exploring the chemistry between them.
When shy librarian Sabrina meets sexy and sweet deputy sheriff Wyatt, everything changes, for both of them. She has issues talking to people and he has issues trusting people after being burned, how in the world are the ...more

“His eyes burned into mine. It reminded me of the way he had looked at me at Genie’s Bar when we danced, right before he kissed me. Something intangible existed between us, I was sure of it. His gaze reminded me of how Leonardo DiCaprio’s looked at Claire Danes in Romeo + Juliet—hot and full of longing. Sure, after that first hot gaze in the beginning of the movie the whole thing turned to crap and they died at the end. But that first look was everything.”

“I swear I could feel it, him wanting me, and I wanted him too. I didn’t know what I’d do with him once I got him, but I was dying to figure it out. Okay, that was a lie—I had a top ten list of things I wanted to do with him written down in my journal. I had a good imagination. Plus, I’d been reading romance novels since I was twelve.”
