I liked this - it’s definitely not as good as the Brown sisters series but a nice romance read with a bit of mystery around the FMC’s back story. Neurodivergent representation and I enjoyed a small town romance set in the UK too.

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.
