You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!
This HaBO request is from Meredith, who has searched her Kindle high and low for this one:
I thought I read about this book on your site. I’ve gone through every Kindle purchase I made and can’t find it!
Anyway, what I can remember: Hero goes into an empty library (maybe to escape a party or dinner). While he’s there, the heroine comes in, picks a book, and basically starts masturbating. Maybe the book has something to do with the Kama Sutra.
Somehow they strike up a deal to keep meeting and he will be her “teacher” in all of these types of things.
It’s the age old tale of boy meets girl, girl masturbates in a library. Also, I feel as if there are several romances with this sort of setup.

*sighs* As a former librarian…please don’t masturbate in the library.
Or if you must, use the study carrels and try to be discreet about it?
(Ask me about the time a coworker chased someone out, screaming that she was going to flatten his dick with the Oxford Dictionary if she caught him again!)
Try First Sinners by Kate Pearce
Secrets in Scarlet, by Erica Monroe?
“Poppy O’Reilly has crafted a new life in the Spitalfields rookery for herself and her young daughter, one that depends on keeping her past hidden. But when the murder of a fellow factory worker brings Sergeant Thaddeus Knight of the Metropolitan Police into her life, the very man who could discover her past is the one she can’t live without.”
If I recall correctly, she’s amazed by the luxuries he enjoys as a member of the middle class, including a library.
If it’s NOT this, is it possibly a book where the heroine gets orgasmic over being fed artichokes? I know I’ve read it.
This sounds like a scene from Beautiful Stranger by Christina Lauren. They definitely meet up in an empty or almost-closed library and things happen. I think the H starts it by having the h read out loud from the Kama Sutra. She has an exhibitionist fantasy and he helps her fulfill it in various locations. I did not love it as much as I love some of their other books but no question that book is H-O-T.
There are so many books this could be…
Not quite the same, but Maya Rodale’s Bad Boy Billionaire’s Wicked Arrangement starts with hero escaping party in the library where he has an awkward run in with a librarian on her knees as two other people are getting it on nearby. One fake engagement later, she is using their sexy times as inspiration for the romance novel she’s writing.
Charlotte Stein’s Sweet Agony and Addicted both have sexy library times.
Not the book, but Anne Calhoun’s THE SEAL’S REBEL LIBRARIAN has library sexy-fun-times plus older heroine.
Ack! I think I read this one but can’t remember the name – historical (set at a country manor, not London) and she tries to hide the book behind a bench or something thinking he didn’t see. They converse and then he smirkily gives it back to her as she’s leaving the room to be all ‘I know what you did last summer/5 minutes ago’
If you do that at my library you’ll be suspended for 3 years from all locations and I will have to call the cops and do paperwork. I will hate you. Just don’t.
Awaken, My Love by Robin Schone?
Another library worker here to say I sure hope this was their own personal home library or they would be heckin’ excluded.
Beth is right! First Sinners! I remembered the cover differently so I’ve been looking at all the wrong books in my kindle.
Have no fear librarians! The library in this story is not a public one. 🙂
Maybe “Show Me” by Celia May Hart.
