Well, this one knocked me out of my book slump! It sat on my TBR for a while due to the premise, but I’m glad I gave it a shot. The romance itself between the two characters is actually kind of…sweet? The hero is 100% gone for the heroine almost immediately, which I absolutely love in a hero. I can’t wait for book 2.

Safety Stats:
Ages:
Heroine is 23, didn’t catch hero’s age.
Cheating:
None.
Other OM/OW:
None.
Separation:
The book spans the course of four years or so, but neither is with anyone else after their first meeting.
Triggers:
The author’s list here is pretty spot-on. Definitely review the list if you have concerns about violence. I will say, there is NO violence between the hero and heroine.
HEA/HFN?:
HEA, married by the end.
