This books was perfect for me. I don’t have any complaints or anything, it just hits all the right spots.
Our leads are both interesting and likable. Trudy is a tough bitch but has a real soft side. She’s been made to be tough from the life she’s lived and you really get to know her well throughout the story. It’s so easy for me to enjoy a book when I love the FL and I really did love Trudy. Her disability was handled very well and believable in my opinion. The experiences she’s had in the love department are very similar to the experiences I’ve heard from other wheelchair users which I think makes this a very good source of representation.
Qhenno is a perfect ml! Determined and intelligent, capable and considerate of others, when he shows up he gets things done. You can seen a bit of roughness to him in the beginning, but Trudy quickly smooths out his edges. He’s described as having a stern expression a lot of the time, and that’s something I really appreciate in a ML. A grumpy look, glare, or scowl is just so attractive and especially when it melts away for his mate because he’s just so enraptured by her.
Perfect read for me. Perfect amount of action and the spice was so emotional and intense but also paced VERY well. I also really enjoy this author’s writing style.

nice disability rep
This book was a rough beginning - which was to be expected given that Trudy had a SCI and no wheelchair while working in a mine. I loved that Qhenno froze up and couldn’t talk to her and their love story was very sweet.
Spice: 3/5
Triggers: abuse/slavery, starvation

This author is really good at making me have to put down my book and take a few deep breathes before I keep going, namely the book Arrival
