This is one of the best examples of PTSD and trauma I've seen in the romance genre.

I took some points off for how oddly the passage of time was handled at times. Otherwise, this was a heartfelt and brilliant story that had me in fits of laughter and tears. Highly recommend.

I really like this book, and unworthy and limits, which feature a lot of the same characters. They all require a bit of work because they all cover some emotionally difficult ground, but they all have endings that are worth it. And the benefit of books like this include helping people work through their own emotional messes and giving hope for better endings.
But down to specifics. Gruff and grumpy cinnamon roll hero, flighty heroine finding her way out of a tough situation, found family, short circuit references, people being people but in that slightly better than reality way that books can have.
