Another one I’d recommend. A fun romance, but I think what makes it is the main characters are different from any other romance novel I’ve read. I’ve never read a book that had a person with chronic pain or mental health needs as the protagonist. I need more books like that! It was still a fun and sexy read but also I think the characters drove the story well and added depth. I thought some of the conflict was a bit silly but I think that happens with romance novels.

Overall I liked the book. This is a solid contemporary romance novel that highlights different issues - all while adding some spice. I did like Red’s characters more than Chloe’s. It took me a while to get invested in the relationship because I liked how passionate and invested Red was the whole time. Compared to Chloe who it was hard to know how she felt about Red. The story flowed nicely and I liked how each character was pealed back and we got to understand both Chloe and Red. To be honest! I am surprised this is as popular as it is. I liked it but didn’t love it. I would read the rest of the series.

Las escenas de sexo se me hicieron por momentos muy cringe, más que nada por los diálogos, pero igual todo lo demás fue re disfrutable. Los personajes me gustaron mucho, me gustó como se fueron desarrollando las dinámicas y también disfrute los problemas personales de cada personaje, pero parecieron originales ((??)) pero tambien bastante relatable

Cute, cute, cute.

I'm usually not a quirky or cutesy romance reader, meaning I generally prefer romances on the deeper or more introspective side. But the way Hibbert crafted her characters is just so charming and well-balanced that I found myself enjoying the more outlandish plot beats.

Chloe and Red had great, if not sizzling, chemistry. I really enjoyed the difference in their narration style. It was always really clear whose head we were in and who was speaking in a scene, which only added to the sense of the characters as fully-realized people.

I will say that I found Red's central conflict weaker than Chloe's and wish we had more exploration of it in text versus just being told he began therapy. But I LOVED the fact that Chloe's disability didn't get the "cured by good dick" treatment; her limitations and needs were always so centered and respected, which is such a breath of fresh air in the genre.

I get why these books have gained their popularity and will definitely continue on with the Brown sisters.
