When Hearts Awaken by Victoria Lum

4.0

rating: 4
spice: 2.5

this book was dark, not like dark romance. but in terms of dark themes.

my girl taylor has been through the wringer. 😭 she’s had some awful things happen to her as a child (read TWs please) and she’s come out so strong on the other side. i am so happy she found charles, even though their meeting didn’t happen on the best of terms.

this really had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. there were a lot of subplots in this book, but they were all woven together beautifully. i can’t wait to read more of her books!
