Another gem written by the queen Kennedy Ryan. 5 stars is truly not enough stars to give this book. This is a book I’ll always recommend. The story of Cannon and Neevah is a story of a woman trying to follow her dreams, despite an illness and a man fighting to show the art behind stories untold. It’s also a story that tells readers to fight for a love that is worth it no matter the obstacles, inward or outside.

Sometimes no matter what you’ve been through with a person, they’re one of the few who understand you. That is the simple way to explain Shane and Eva’s relationship. Both authors with flourishing careers at one point or another who write about each other. Their fans don’t know it, but they do. Sometimes people come into your life, leave physically but never leave your mind. That is the truth for the both of them. Light in each other’s darkness.

Bridgerton book 1: The TV show gives Simon a lot more depth. I appreciate that a lot. Plus the rape scene from Daphne <\spoiler> is no where to be found in the show.
