+ for diversity, nice to read something that.
Maybe I expected more towards the end, but still felt like this ending was meant to be something as a new beginning for whatever we hope it is. I guess we’ll see more of them but as a sidecharacter in the other books.
Would reccommend this one and the second one in the same series.

Mentioned and do have a say in story, but isn’t described in depth. But these things do happen or are mentioned.howlinglibraries's review against another edition

This was absolutely wonderful, even better than I hoped it would be, and I can't wait to continue the series. ♥ There was so much angst and yearning, that despite logically knowing how things would play out (it isn't Romance with an HEA, after all), I constantly found myself second-guessing whether there would be a happy ending for these two — and I mean that in a good way! I was so invested in this relationship that I couldn't help but worry for Livvy and Nicholas. Alisha Rai has an incredible way with writing and I am so excited to read more books from her.

I loved every second of this smutty, heartwarming story. Sometimes life is terrible and you hate everything and then you read romance and remember life can be okay.
