A review by bookish_notes
Damaged Goods by Talia Hibbert

4.0

This was a nice little novella with a HEA for a character we met in the first book. I did skip the epilogue because it’s set 21 years after the ending and I’m not a fan of epilogues THAT far into the future.

Trigger warnings include mentions of physical abuse and gaslighting.

But everything else in this book was lovely. Samir is the best hero and I’m happy Laura found someone who is sweet. They met each other 15 years ago when they were teens and now they meet again as adults. Laura is still “technically” married to her abuse husband Daniel (also known as Ruth’s ex from the first book) but has run away to get some peace before she gives birth. I hope this is the last we see of Daniel. He’s the worst.

I’m usually not a fan of pregnancy books but this was okay. I liked the Laura and Samir and we got to meet some of the characters in Samir’s little seaside restaurant.
