Review:

Sourcebooks have bought Hibbert’s debut Ravenwood series and updated them with some minor updates and a handwritten note at the front, they are gorgeous! (The first print run has beautiful pink sprayed edges and gorgeous character art!).

I’ve wanted to go through her backlist since reading the Brown sisters and this re-release found me at the perfect time.

This one is super cute and super quick at less than 300 pages. It’s full of Hibbert’s beautiful style of romance – consensual and incredibly hot. We’ve got great autistic rep and I just love that her MC’s are never these tiny people.

I loved it and I devoured it in less than a day, and it reminded me why I love the genre; excited squeaks and legs kicking.

Hibbert is Queen of romance and I can’t wait to read more.
