I think I've had this on my TBR list since Liz Bourke started talking about it because it is ENTIRELY my wheelhouse.
1) A couple—one of whom is extremely intelligent and also traumatized, the other who is good natured and exceptional in his own right—thrown together by circumstances.
2) We must date/marry because reasons and now I'm falling for you.
3) Was there only one bed? Reader, there was.
4) Realistic understanding of the difference between "healed by the power of love" and "when you give your partner space and support, they can begin to heal" with this book in the latter.
5) Fantasy romance that believe firmly in both genres.

Did I love it? Of course I did. Did I stay up until 3am to finish it? No, I managed to finish by 2:45 because I read quickly. Worth it.
