Ahhhhh. So good. I love when people get what they deserve. I love Samir. Talia writes so well and weaves such lovely stories together.  The romances are nice, but the friendships she puts in these books? Absolutely sensational. I love Ruth and I love seeing women be freed from violent, disgusting men.

I believe you.

This is only my second Talia Hibbert book so far, but I'm becoming convinced that she exclusively writes books that speak to my heart and soul? I haven't read anything else from the Ravenswood series (although I do plan to), but this one stands on its own pretty well. The characters were easy to love, the story was very sweet and steamy, and I felt like it practically read itself. Loved this for sure, can't wait to read more from the author.

There are some content warnings with this one for sure (primarily regarding the heroine being pregnant and leaving an abusive relationship), but the author includes detailed content warnings at the beginning of the book that break down which things worthy of CW appear in which chapters.
