What to expect: Nanny, Forced Proximity, Roommates
Talia's writing is some of my favorite and this book was no different!
Here women are always a bit sassy and spunky, while the guys are the definition of golden retriever. I loved seeing the characters from the first book, and getting hints about the next one.
I know this series has been optioned for TV and I think it would be SO MUCH FUN!
Spice: 2.5

I was so intrigued by Ruth Kabbah's sister in the first Ravenswood book, so I'm so glad she has her very own romance story!
Untouchable features a woman dealing with the repercussions of destroying the property of her sister's abusive ex-boyfriend, an act that while justified, has lost Hannah her job, a job she loved.
So, when the chance at being able to work with children again presents itself, Hannah jumps at the chance, even if it means she'll be nanny-ing for her onetime childhood crush, the brooding and sexy Nate.
Nate is also super reluctant to hire Hannah, even though he really needs her help and she is the best candidate for his children. He wants Hannah, and he doesn't want to be a creep.
What follows is a fantastic romance featuring two characters with very real problems (Hannah's depression, Nate's mother's cancer) but who are perfect for one another. There are no "magic sexy times/relationshps" that solve Nate and Hannah's problems, but they find their strengths help.
Love this story!

Sigh, Talia Hibbert does it again with this wonderful tale of a silly little romance that had butterflies in my stomach and a giant grin on my face.
I love Nate, even as I pictured him as a local bartender haha! Hannah is painfully relatable and it made the story that much better.
Read it!

Creo que junto a Damaged goods esta ha sido la historia que más he disfrutado. Tiene todos los elementos que parecen ser típicos de una historia de Hibbert: hombres adorablemente estables y maduros, heroínas que tienen que lidiar con traumas complejos y un pueblo obsesionado con el cotilleo más allá de lo humanamente posible.
Posiblemente esta entrega me haya gustado más porque Hannah es una de mis protagonistas favoritas y Nathan es de lo más adorable, aunque todas las (necesarias) discusiones sobre el desequilibrio de poder entre ambos sonaban más como un discurso politicamente correcto que algo que diría una persona normal. En general, creo que ese es el problema que tengo con los héroes de Hibbert, qe son tan conscientes, considerados, pacientes y maduros que es difícil verlos como personajes tridimensionales.
En cuanto a la trama, me pareció bien llevada y con una evolución natural, aunque eché en falta más escenas con los hijos de Nathan siendo Hannah su niñera. Esperaba más contenido parental tierno, y aunque vemos algunas escenas me supieron bastante a poco.
En general, una historia entretenida que lidia bien con temas complejos como la depresión o el duelo, y con personajes interesantes, especialmente las heroínas, pero me sigue faltando esa chispa que haga a la novela memorable.

It was fine. Not the authors strongest book tbh. Half the characters completely disappeared in the second half of the book. She was supposed to be nannying the MMCs children and I guess she does but the kids are barely mention in the second half. She’s nannying because his mom has cancer which turns out she doesn’t so what’s even the purpose of having a nanny at that point if they’ve figured out her medical issues and a treatment plan that wouldn’t be a last minute emergency. So idk the story just felt a little underdeveloped.

I like this more than the other books in the series. The heroine is kind of relatable and I was excited about the school crush trope. I didn't get much of that but those instances were sweet. I did think that towards the end, it felt like there was a whole bunch of miscommunication that could have been avoided. People are like that but it felt a little frustrating since I felt like a characters has a good understanding of each other but I digress.
It was okay. It was a very high 2.9 or 3 stars.

the fact i continue to be shocked every time i love a talia hibbert book is ridiculous
ugh this book. hannah is hilarious and relatable. nate is a DILF that would do anything for hannah. the interactions between hannah and nates kids were perfect. i loved seeing my faves evan and ruth again.
as always, talia incorporates deeper discussions beautifully (depression, grief etc)
also the smut !?? it made me want to die. in a good way
