The story is sweet with a healthy splash of spice. It’s nice to see autistic characters with the same kind of backgrounds and support systems that allistic characters get while also not being shoved into asexuality as a result of ableism.

I enjoyed this book -- and the series. One thing that I like about this series is the conflict is resolved quickly and realistically. The writing was amazing, the scharacters were good and their relationship was adorable, and the plot was good. This was a great lighthearted and fun read.

But like I said, I loved my reading experience. It was so AMAZING seeing a relationship between two autistic people! The safety and understanding!! The interactions between Eve and Jacob were delightful and heartfelt, funny and earnest. Their relationship just made so much sense to me. And so did the MCs themselves!! I loved that across both Eve and Jacob a range of autistic traits and experiences were portrayed.
The setting was another plus. Prior to reading, I knew this was set at a bed and breakfast which is already a win for me, but I DIDN’T know that it’s set at a B&B in a country village in the Lakes, i.e., peak comfiness and cosiness!!
I have just been so impressed with Hibbert across this trilogy, and I am eagerly anticipating the Skybriar spin-off trilogy!
Ending this review with my two favourite quotes:
"Only now did he realise that thinking so lowly of his own worth required him to think badly of Eve in turn."
"But that something didn't have permission to lead - not anymore. It was old and battered and bruised. It was toxic and told him such utterly believable lies. It belonged to a far younger version of himself"

Eve & Jacob are two absolutely tender-hearted souls hiding deliciously dirty sides. Their sexy times are absolutely 🔥🌶🔥, I wish there were more than the 2 scenes because they were smokin' hot!

A heart warming must read if you have a fear of failure and hang onto old mistakes. As a 26 yo I loved reading what is somewhat a coming of age story about a fellow 26 yo.
Lots of positive representation and conversations about autism.
