Thoughts 💡
As far as I’m concerned Ruby can do no wrong and if you yuck my yum on this a little tiny part of my heart will hate you.
Now, like every good blue barbarian babe (on FB go check them out), I have favorite couples. Maddie & Hassan are somewhere in the top ten. Mostly because I love Maddie’s sass and Hassan’s redemption arc. I also really like that Maddie took on a bit of a teacher role in the furs.
They are one of the kinkiest couple’s on Not Hoth and their shenanigans continue through the whole series, but to truly understand them you have to go through the emotional trauma of this book. Because yes, as fun and lighthearted and smutty as Ruby is, she threw a big old wrench into the sunshine and rainbows of this frozen world.
