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

It was good romance where the main love interest is a complete simp. It’s a friends-to-lovers-to-strangers-to-friends-to-lovers.  It’s not long at all. I was reading and didn’t even notice that I was 86% finished and it wasn’t a 500 page slow burn where the first kiss is at pg 498😭

I want more of Laura and Samir! In all reality though I think their story was perfect in every way. The pacing was great. The development was perfect. I just loved this story so much. I really think Talia Hibbert shines the most with shorter succinct stories. She can really pack  a punch. This is my 6th or 7th book by her, so am I allowed to say that a novella is my favorite by her? 

Check out the content warning at the beginning. She lists the chapters and their triggers. She cares so much about her readers; that alone makes her an auto-buy author for me.
