untouchable is, thus far, my favorite in the series. a big reason is that this had the strongest characters.

i personally couldn't fully connect with the mmcs in the previous books; however, i really enjoyed the mmc in untouchable. typically, in a book that has an fmc with overthinking tendencies and insecurities, the mmc feeds into those habits and it causes a lot of issues. but nate was so understanding and patient with hannah and it was such a nice change of pace.

hannah as our fmc was such a great character! i was laughing at most of her interactions and inner dialogues. i know some people can find characters like this frustrating, but i loved her and felt so seen by her struggles. great representation as always from talia hibbert. 

i loved the presentation of the workplace dynamic between a boss and employee. those boundaries were respected and acknowledged throughout the novel. i've personally never seen a conversation like this presented so, again, good way of branching out.

Another fun romance from Talia Hibbert. It does have some serious plot points, but as usual Talia writes those with grace. I love the characters in this book, and I love that Talia writes multiple books in the same universe. Just like her popular Brown sisters series, the Ravenswood books are all connected. 

This one did not disappoint with the widower and nanny trope. I like that Talia made sure to make a point that this was not an appropriate relationship and that wasn't just pushed to the side for the romance. Talia writes appropriate, consensual romances and I love that. It feels valid. Also her representation was great again. I love, loved the mental illness rep shown. Now I want a serotonin tattoo.
