Amelia is a buttoned up, small town librarian who was raised by her two old maid aunts. With her hair in a bun, horn rim glasses and dowdy clothes, she seems destined to be an old maid also. More than anything, Amelia wants to buy her own car so she can have some sense of freedom so she creates an alter ego, Amber who is anything but buttoned down. "Amber" gets a job in a nearby town as a cocktail waitress. Every evening after the aunts go to bed, Amelia sneaks out to become "Amber".

Tyler lives in the same town as Amelia but has never really paid much attention to the spinster librarian even though Amelia has had a crush on him for years. One evening he comes to the nightclub where "Amber" is working and falls in love at first sight with her. As he begins his campaign to win "Amber" for some strange reason he can't understand he also begins to notice Amelia. It doesn't take long for him to realize Amelia and Amber is the same person and quickly finds Amelia even more intriguing than "Amber".

Amelia's relationship with her two aunts that raised her is heartwarming. Tyler's understands that Amelia's relationship with her aunts is special and that if he wants Amelia, they come with deal. His campaign to win over the two old maids is very sweet. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Amelia needs some extra money in order to purchase a new car. As a librarian in a small southern town and the niece of two spinster aunt's, she must conceal her identity and work at a club outside of town. To complete this transformation, she tosses aside her glasses and lets her long hair flow past her shoulders. Adding make up and new sexier clothes, Amelia becomes Amber. Enter Tyler, the town bad boy, who takes one look at Amber and realizes he has met the woman of his dreams. He tries everything to get Amber to go out with him but nothing seems to work. Finally, after a week of coming into the club every night, she agrees to a date. They have a wonderful time, but Amelia is starting to feel guilty for her deception. Fate steps in to help Amelia out. The day after their date, as Amelia was helping her two aunts in to church, she runs into Tyler. As the service proceeds, he sees a little of Amber in the staid librarian Amelia. He does not guess the real truth until he bumps into her again at the grocery store and sees Amelia with her glasses off. He recognizes her unique eyes and soon sees the other distinctive features that could only belong to his Amber. Amused and slightly venegeful, he decides to get a little revenge on the women who have plagued his days. He breaks up with Amber that very same night, then makes a beeline to the library the next morning in order to ask Amelia out on a date. She is completely confused since he has never giver her the time of day as Amelia. She turns him down, which fits right into his plan. He is determined to win her over as her true self not her alias. So, he turns away and does not talk to her for a week. During that time she quits her job. No more lies for her. She lost the man she loved because she had not been honest with him. Or has she? He calls her for another date in which she accepts. This starts the official romance of Amelia and Tyler.

Since I have already given a synopsis of most of the story, I will not ruin the ending. This is a very good book and would highly recommend it . The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that I didn't particularly like so much of the story involving the elderly aunts.

You will enjoy this book if you're a fan of sweet, less realistic romance.
It being published under the Desire Series is decieving...

As a librarian myself, I love stories about libraries and librarians. This is a good one. Things didn't develop as I expected, and I really enjoyed the whole book.

This is an easy and fun read. Yes, it's predictable but it makes for a pleasant afternoon when you don't wish to be bogged down with something serious. It's fun to feature the character as the stodgy librarian, as well as an adventurous 'Amber.' And you have to like the old-maid Aunts...

What does a librarian in a small town do when she wants to see the world and needs to buy a new car? If she's Amelia Beauchamp, she concocts a new personality and gets a job as a cocktail waitress.

When Amelia is dressed in sexy mini dresses and acting under the persona of Amber Champion, she is able to do all the things a librarian could never do, she even has the town hunk, Tyler Savage, after her.

Tyler Savage is the kind of guy who would never go out with a librarian. He's too gorgeous, too perfect. So she tries to turn him down, which only makes him want her more...

When she finally agrees to go out with him, he is convinced she is the woman for him. Amelia is torn and doesn't know if she can keep up pretending to be Amber. If only she knew that Tyler was well aware of her secret double identity... This book novel will make you laugh and cry. A true romance story.
