To loved and be loved is such a wonderful thing. Rahul is an absolute dream - a guy you loves you even when you don't love yourself and incapable of loving him the way he loves you. Like emotional intelligence is a man is so very sexy. This book is so cute and so sweet and I'm just swimming in endorphins finishing this at almost 2 in the morning.

Insane to me that Talia Hibbert writes absolutely nothing but bangers (pun absolutely intended btw)

I will never stop saying it: men written by Talia Hibbert are superior. And to be honest, among them, I think Rahul might be my new all-time favorite (and that’s saying something)! The emotional maturity, the kind-heartedness, the overall gentle disposition (that becomes absolutely filthy in the bedroom)? We’re talking green flag after green flag, my friends.

A lot of times, the friends-to-lovers trope is a miss for me, simply because the conflict never seems believable. I just think to myself “ugh, if you’re in love, just get together already, why all the angst? It needn’t be this difficult!” But with this one, I feel like I really did empathize with Jasmine’s reluctance to see what was right in front of her (and then to sabotage it when it could no longer be ignored). I appreciated her character development a lot.

As is always the case, Hibbert’s writing is accessible and enjoyable, I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

did i pick this up because everyone and their momma on booksta is talking about it and its new cover? umm yes and i don't regret it. RAHUL>>>>>> that man was just SO down bad for my girl jasmine and i was here for it all. both of their inner monologues truly hurt my heart at times and damn, i didn't not expect this to get as emotional as it did towards the end?!? my heart was breaking. this didn't really pick up for me until about the 20% mark, but once it picked up, i was all in. also i didn't realize this was apart of series - although i don't think they are interconnected - so i'm going to go read those soon! not my favorite talia book but still really good.
