Never thought I would rate a Talia Hibbert book lower than a 4, but I had a lot of issues with this one.

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 was the novella that got me interested in the Ravenswood series and it was everything I expected. Hibbert managed to hit the right mix between emotional, romantic, and healing.
