📖 I absolutely adore Liliana and Roman and everything about this story. I loved that we started out in Roman’s POV, and really got to see what he was like before his accident. I also loved that early on he’s self aware enough to realize that he’s been a real dick while in PT post accident, and he’s worried about being a dick to Liliana since he really likes her. But not worried enough that he’s willing to give up the chance to work with her as his PT… because with Liliana seems to come hope. Liliana goes above and beyond for all of her patients, and she works so hard for Roman, knowing when to push and when to back off. I loved seeing them get to know each other and develop such trust between them. 

I mean broken boy is my fav trope, so it shouldn’t be surprising that I ATE THIS UPPPP! It’s less spicy than Nikki’s other stuff, but I thought it was perfect for this story. This was more emotional and about recovery and she handled all of that really well.
