From pragmatic librarians finding unexpected connections to visitors discovering more than just books, Whispers in the Stacks: An Anthology of Library Love Stories explores love in quiet corners and among towering bookshelves. Whether it’s the charm of a late-night study session turning into a subtle flirtation, or a librarian uncovering a spy lurking between the stacks, this anthology proves that even in the most orderly places, romance can write its own unpredictable story.

Kaye C. - What is not to love about a new anthology featuring short stories from fourteen Bella Books authors? The connecting theme, as the title suggests, is Library Love Stories. I’ve read full length books by many of the authors and enjoyed reading these shorter works. It includes everything from meet cutes, flirting, mistaken identities, love after loss, and even a small mystery. And while most of the characters are in their twenties, a few feature more mature potential couples. I’m amazed how good authors can develop characters and a potential romance in only 10-20 pages.
I like anthologies as they help me find new authors to read. I also enjoyed seeing what authors I knew chose to write for their stories. And being a librarian only makes me like the subject matter more.

Emma M. - This selection of really charming, sometimes spicy, sometimes heart-warming short stories shows the best of libraries and indeed librarians. The writers themselves are in love with libraries, you can tell. There wasn't a duff story in the collection.

Rebecca K. - These stories were fun lighthearted and everything you'd expect of an anthology. I recommend this to any fellow library lovers out there.
