Publisher's summary

*A TikTok Sensation!*

A sweet encounter between a bookworm and a basketball player turns steamy in the stacks after hours....

Kendall Holiday spends her Fridays exactly where she wants to be: ensconced in a romance novel in an empty college library working the graveyard shift. The quiet of the library is dependable and gives Kendall an excellent excuse for skipping out on the loud, raucous start to the weekend. Lost in the pages of her favorite love stories, Kendall blocks out the world-until Vincent Knight, the school's star basketball player, turns up.

Handsome, tall, and extremely popular, Vincent's a standout on the court, but he's out of his depth in the stacks: he's got an urgent assignment due and doesn't have a clue where to start. When his meet-cute with Kendall turns into a steamy make-out session, neither are quite prepared for what comes next.

Opposites might attract in romance novels...but it takes a lot more truth than tropes to make it work in real life.

Fun, quick, college romance

This is my first time listening to this one but I read it physically last year. A cute college romance between a star basketball player, Vincent and Kendall who works night shift at the school library. A perfect sports romance. The narrator did a great job!

Adorable+Warm&Fuzzy

First off this book was beautiful, I loved it! It was spicy, sweet, and an overall feel good novel. My only complaint is that I was it was a dual POV. I would have loved to see Vincent’s feeling and emotion throughout. But besides that this book was chefs kiss and Annie Crown should be VERY proud of herself, I can’t wait for her next book.

Wonderful

Just really great and cute and relatable. I really loved the story. It was sweet

ADORE

I ADORE THIS BOOK! It was so warm and fuzzy and hot, lots of sexual tension. The characters are so like able and real.

LOVED!

Audible Audiobook Review by Anne @smutfully_yours 🎧

📕 Night Shift by Annie Crown caught me completely by surprise with this story 💜 I jumped on getting this audible book when a credit became available because ✨ Victoria Connolly ✨ - need we say more?? 😍

But I was UNprepared to fall head first in love with Kendall and Vincent’s sweet and sultry love story. As a 39 year old woman, I am usually more inspired to read romances of main characters closer to my age. It’s admittedly been a while since I’ve read a college-age romance…

But these two. THESE TWO. 💞
Kendall is a sweet, naive English Honors major, who has a bold run-in with shy, gorgeous basketball star Vincent among the stacks of books at the campus library.
The way Crown writes about the uncomfortable, giddy freshness of flirting, new lust, and love is soooooo lovely.

I felt like I stepped back into my feels as a 20 year old college student #nostalgia — the longing, the awkwardness, the tenderness of new experiences, the *miscommunication tropes* and the honest self-evaluation of Kendall to push past her discomfort to claim what (who) she wants. And let’s be real - the ultimate horniness of college kids 😆

I was utterly enthralled 💞 And the spicy scenes?! They were SO honest, SO sweet, and deliciously devilish 😈 — @anniecrownwrites literally PERFECTLY captured to complicated and exhilarating feelings of young love and your first sexual experiences. BRAVA! 👏🏼

And Victoria Connelly, as always, narrates with heart, humor, and HEAT! (Best male voice in the biz y’all…) 😏

5 glowing stars 🌟 and cannot wait to see what Annie Crown gives us next!

SOOO CUUUTE. A Smutty Hallmark Rom Com I could not put down.

This is the perfect light and quick read when you just want to escape to a fun romance. I did not expect much, but I am impressed for what this type of romance was!

These characters had so much potential to make this book an earth shattering, moving, and unforgettable type of romance. If the Author really tries, I think she has all the talent to take a book like this to the next level. I would not go into this book expecting lots of depth. It’s fast paced, full of steam, and truly a captivating romance. I could not put it down!

meh

Soo much story, not as much spice. I give it 1 🌶. It's a sweet story, which is not what I expected or wanted. 😅

Oh So Basic

There was very little to enjoy about this story aside from the friendships. I’m not a fan of insta- lust but I could have tolerated it better if it had been done well.
