Series: Give a Bookish Girl a Biker #4
Author: Callie Thomas

My Review:
The Overdue Kiss is the fourth book in the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker series. The series has multiple authors, so the books are loosely connected and easy to read as stand-alone novels. If you plan to read them all, I recommend reading them in order. This is also the first book I have read by Callie Thomas, but I will be reading more.
Des is the quiet one of the biker group. So, it is quite surprising to me that he stops for strangers in need, LOL! Yet, he did, and that is how he and Maya meet. He has no desire to date. Not only is he too busy, but he doesn't see the point.
Maya is healing from a broken relationship and is excited to take the book mobile to Rocosa. Their library is in desperate need of updating, or it will be shut down. What Maya couldn't have anticipated was her book mobile breaking down on the side of the road, leaving her stranded. That is, until Des comes along.
This story is super cute. I loved Maya's outreach program and heart for people. I love that Des does everything he can to help Maya, without pushing her for more than she is ready for. I also loved the community's support once they realize their library is in danger of being shut down.
I am not a fan of insta-love, which this basically is. However, since it is not acted upon, and the two main characters do take time to get to know each other, I can forgive it, LOL.
★★★★/5
Synopsis (Goodreads):
Maya
Books have always been my emergency escape.
Whether I’m tuning out the chaos of my boisterous family or recovering
from a cheating ex-boyfriend, the joy of reading calms my anxious heart.
So what if I prefer to live in fictitious worlds to protect myself from heartbreak—it’s no big deal. Until the jagged wounds of my last relationship heal, the only man I’m interested in meeting is my next book boyfriend.
But
then all my resolutions start to crumble when a modern-day knight in
shining armor rescues me from the side of the road, sweeps me onto the
back of his motorcycle, and drives us off into the sunset.
Des
My endless responsibilities have me struggling to function
most days—school, town meetings, family drama, and keeping my business
afloat. The thought of dating is so far down my list that it’s
practically nonexistent.
Women have never made sense anyway, not
the way numbers do. Females are like inconsistent equations with
changing variables. They aren’t worth the hassle of solving, so I just
stay away.
That is…until I meet Maya. Now I’m daydreaming about
her smile and stopping by the library to conveniently bump into her. But
the closer we get, the more she insists on keeping me at arm's length.
How can I earn her trust before she leaves town? There has to be another
solution…one where we both end up together.
Will one tender kiss change everything?
***The Overdue Kiss, a closed-door learning to love again novel, is
book 4 in the Give a Bookish Girl a Biker multi-author series, a sweet
romance collection of overlapping stories set in the picturesque
mountains of Colorado. Alongside humor and faith, you’ll find sizzling
chemistry between book-obsessed girls and their handsome bikers. Perfect
for readers who prefer swoony, no-spice stories that sweep them off
their feet.***
