About this listen
Helen is just your normal, everyday librarian who writes romance novels on the side except she also happens to be a former nun, new to life outside the order and to the dating scene. Helen isn't just a virgin in her 30s; she's never had a boyfriend, never kissed anyone, never even so much as held someone's hand. Becoming a nun was always her path, until it wasn't anymore, and trying to forge a new path in life has been tricky.
What isn't tricky? Her unrequited crush on the handsome library patron that Helen and her friends have affectionately nicknamed The Red Unicorn -- a man who loves to read, looks great in glasses, and has red hair, aka Helen's dream man. But the idea of dating is still intimidating, so Helen prefers to daydream about Thad from afar, turning him into her perfect romance novel hero.
Thad is far from perfect, not like the smart, sexy librarian he's been surveilling. Thad is a bounty hunter who's determined to find Helen's brother, Dean, and he's certain Helen is the key to tracking Dean down. Thad never plans to approach Helen or insert himself into her life until it becomes clear he's not the only one looking for Dean. The other people after him are bad news, and Helen is going to get caught in the crossfire if Thad doesn't intervene.
As Thad and Helen work together to find Dean, they actually get to know each other, soon realizing that the perfect, ideal versions they have of each other couldn't be more wrong but that who they are together might actually be just right.
'Nun Too Soon' is a full-length contemporary romance and can be listened to as a standalone. Book #1 in the Bad Habit Book Club series, Seduction in the City World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

Dawn Botstein is doing just fine after her divorce, thank you very much. She’s got her yarn store to run, her house to herself for the first time in her life, and no use for men anymore. That is, she didn’t until the hottie silver fox who walks into her store turns out to be her old high-school crush - the guy who rejected her 30 years ago. No way is she going to lose her head over him this time, no matter how well he wears that salt-and-pepper lumberjack beard.

April 22 LADIES AND GENTS! I have an announcement! You know that guy I featured on my blog a few months ago? The really, really hot Irish rugby player who plays the position of ‘hooker’ in the RLI (Rugby League International)? The one with the anger management issues, the body of a gladiator and the face of a movie star? The one with the questionable fashion choices leading me to ask whether he was the lovechild of a leprechaun and a hobbit? Ronan Fitzpatrick? Yeah, that guy. Well, I have a confession to make…
