I read this standalone novella in one sitting with a big dumb grin on my face. The writing was perfect and it squeezed my heart to bits.

The set up: a re-meeting between a widowed beauty and her childhood neighbour—who’s been crushing on her so hard his entire life that he can barely function.

I loved that he was younger, loved that he was a nerdy rake, loved how they were both hot and knew it, and I love love LOVED how absolutely stupidly in love he was. Seriously, his big feels were making him such an idiot 😂

It was short, it was steamy, it was a great time. 10/10 would recommend.
