I agree with Nelly on two points - the book title needs to stand out and the 'will they, won't they' question isn't needed.The only other things I would suggest is adding Jack's name as follows: "Jack, the sexy detective...", and perhaps "...has been a living wet dream and a thorn in his side since the beginning." which seems to flow a bit better.
Good hook, I'd be interested in reading.
Thank you both very much for the feedback. The book should be out within the next week or two :-)I am unsure about the hook, but I do like them sometimes.
Here is my revised blurb
After finally finding the place where he belongs, Thibault’s life turns upside down.
Thibault Abrams’s life is not perfect, but pretty close. A great job, friends and a place he calls home.
His life takes a turn when he discovers a body at the library where he works. Jack, the sexy detective in charge of the case, has been a living wet dream and a thorn in his side from the beginning. As they get closer, Thibault becomes the primary suspect in the investigation.
DEATH IN THE LIBRARY is an opposite attracts, slow burn mystery romance. Come to Weatherboro, where the food is delicious, the people are friendly(ish) and the love sizzles in the heat.
This is the first book in a series of five, all following the same couple and is open-ended. This book is intended for over 18s only.

Thibault Abrams’s life is not perfect, but pretty close. An unexpected inheritance opened up possibilities he never dreamed of. A great job, friends and a place he calls home.

Will what just started between Jack and Thibault fizzle out under scrutiny and suspicion or take a turn for the better?
