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.

As always, Hibbert delivers characters that are unique and have distinct struggles to overcome. In this one Laura broke my heart but also mended it with her abusive ex-husband. She was so traumatized and certain no one could actually treat her right and respect her and adore her. Ugh. My poor heart. With Samir... I just loved how wholeheartedly he gave himself to Laura. He had such few hesitations before he went all in and was madly in love. Ugh. I love to see it. I stan male characters that absolutely adore their love interest.
The reason this got 4 stars instead of 5 is because not all plot points were resolved by the end. Samir could have used a bit more development. And the epilogue was revoltingly cheesy. Still. These were minor gripes for a novella that made me so happy I read it in one night (which I practically never do!).
All I gotta say is that I will continue to steadily read all of Talia Hibbert’s works because she’s a genius. She’s hilarious. Her humor is absolute perfection. And her characters always worm their way into my heart. What else is there to say? We love to see it.

No description or details on assault content: just a discussion of the fact that she hadn't wanted to have sex when she became pregnant. Also potential content warning about pregnancy and childbirth.bookplaits's review against another edition
