if there’s one thing talia hibbert’s steller at, it’s making her fmc steal every reader’s heart. first cherry from “the princess trap”, and now ruth??
she has evan wrapped around her finger and every scene between them was so charming because of it :’) they absolutely adore each other, bless them

Talia Hibbert continues to be the only valid writer of cishet contemporary romance. I honestly have no idea how she does it. Her books are full of things that I would not normally enjoy. In this case, there's the massive, super muscular man and the tiny, delicate woman he's obsessed with. Usually I find the genre's obsession with that dynamic to be super weird, but it was actually okay here.
I would call Evan a himbo, but he's not dumb. He's just big and strong and really, really gentlemanly. Ruth is a lovely main character with heartbreaking trauma. Her autism is written with a lot of sensitivity. Her relationship with her sister was super compelling.
But why did Evan have to be ex-military? And so proud of it too. Oh well.
Anyway, fuck Daniel Burne, and I WILL be continuing with the series.
