A very enjoyable backlist for Talia Hibbert fans. A quick read, and open door romance. We follow Ruth and Evan. Ruth has always lived in her small town, and has history that has followed her for better or worse... but mostly worse. Evan just moved to town for a job not knowing his new neighbor was more than he was ever expecting.  

I love that Ruth is a wonderfully unique character.  She is autistic. She is also straightforward,  slightly awkward, an artist, and very much a comic lover. Seeing a woman portrayed with a-non-cookie-cutter personality is absolutely refreshing.  I adore Ruth. 

This was a fun, quick read, but this isn't like her latest books that have much more depth (The Brown Sisters trilogy). I still recommend it and will likely eventually finish this Ravenwood series.
