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.

Talia Hibbert does it again! This book is a perfect friends-to-lovers with amazing spicy scenes. I know some people find friends-to-lovers a little boring, but the passion, events, and character development keep this book engaging from page 1 to the end. I love Talia Hibbert's ability to write lovable characters with realistic character flaws and progressive character development. This book features a diverse cast and my favorite: a happily ever after. The banter between characters had me laughing out loud. i finished this book in one day! (It has light mentions of alcohol dependency and discussed parental death and parental neglect).
