Delaney’s life is in ruins—her apartment flooded, her art rejected, and her confidence in freefall. Desperate for stability, she lands on her brother Marcus’s doorstep…only to discover she’ll be sharing the house with his best friend, Dax.
Dax, the charming adrenaline-junkie turned paraplegic, is rebuilding his life on his own terms. He’s cocky, frustratingly hot, and infuriatingly good at folding towels. Living with him means late-night confessions, accidental touches, and a chemistry that won’t quit.
But when Marcus returns from his work trip, he sets off a string of accusations, assumptions, and buried resentments that force everyone to confront uncomfortable truths.
Perfect for fans of witty banter, deep feels, and fiercely independent disabled heroes who aren’t looking to be saved—but just might be worth falling for.
After years of combing through the dusty back shelves of libraries looking for her elusive, imperfect hero, she started writing her own.
Ruth’s romantic tales are full of wounded heroes: men physically challenged by life, but not defeated. These men overcome the difficulties of amputation, paralysis, or cerebral palsy to find acceptance, happiness, and heroines who love them exactly as they are.
this is kinda 2 stars for me to be honest but because i think the disability representation (the guy is paraplegic) was done mostly well, i'm giving it 3 stars.
i do not like the "brother's best friend" trope very much so there's also that.
and i did not like marcus, the brother, at ALL, he was an awful friend, and i'm not convinced he started being a better one.
anyways, the story did not convince me much, the writing was also not my cup of tea, but it was not the worst ever, i guess. really not my style though.
Super cute and sweet! And there was spice! 🔥Never read spice where one of the characters was a paraplegic and I almsot wish it had been from his POV cuz I'm interested on his inner monologue during those scenes.
But her saying "I can't move" after he makes her 💦 and his response being "welcome to the club" BWAHAHAHAHA 🤣 - genius!!!
