A Matter of Fact by Kate Hawthorne
5.0
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kate Hawthrone writes beautifully complex characters. Ones that you can love and hate in the same breath. Ones that you want to smack up the side of the head one minute and then bring you to tears the next. It’s masterful and has quickly made her one of my favourite authors.
Rhys St. George is one of those brilliant characters. He is wealthy, arrogant, and rude. He treats everyone like they’re beneath him. Basically - you hate him. Yet…yet, you also want to wrap him up in bubble wrap to protect him, because he isn’t really all those things. Or at least he’s only partly those things. He’s - human. He deserves a second chance. And more importantly, he’s ready to be the man who earns it. He’s ready to be seen for who he is, not just for his name.
Beckett Thatcher isn’t interested in power and fortunes. He doesn’t own a suit, let alone dine in Michelin star restaurants. He has no time for pomp and circumstance, he’s too busy trying to pay the bills and figuring out how much ramen he can afford. He’s been surviving, alone. But he too is ready to be seen. Live a life beyond simply surviving, one full of love and friends.
This is a story of second chances and trusting you deserve love, even if you don’t always believe it.
