One Last Try by Jemma Croft
5.0

This story felt like a big, cosy hug.

I appreciated the positive Autism rep. Moving house to a small community can be quite daunting, especially as a well known person. I loved that Matthias could be himself, not just around Owen, but within the community as a whole.
It was lovely to see the Neurodivergency represented within the story without it being the cause of tension between Matthias and Owen. 

This is a romance, and the flirty banter was fun to read. There' s a couple of smut scenes, but as a whole this story is about  community and what we can accomplish when we set aside our pride and dare ask for help and express what we need.
