"Nate Davis didn't plan on returning to his hateful hometown. But then, he didn't plan on being widowed in his twenties, or on his mother getting sick, either. Turns out, life doesn't give a f$*k about plans. Hannah Kabbah thought her career in childcare was over. After all, no-one wants a woman with a criminal damage conviction watching their kids. But when her high school crush returns to Ravenswood with two kids in tow, she gets the second chance she never dreamed of. also gets to know Nate - the real Nate. The one whose stony exterior hides aching vulnerability. Who makes her smile when she wants to fall apart. Who is way, way more than the bad boy persona he earned so long ago, and way too noble to ever sleep with the nanny. So it's a good thing she's completely over that teenage crush, right?"--Publisher description. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Let's get this out in the open: I feel really raw in the past few days. So heroes like Nate--perfect, sweet heroes who ask consent and struggle with a perceived power dynamic issue are what I need to soothe the burn. I liked the set up quite a lot. The Hades-looking Nate returning to town after being an emo-type outcast. He's a dad. And, honestly, this is where my enjoyment of the set up would normally falter: Hannah becomes the nanny. This is a plot point I really struggle with, but Talia Hibbert executes it well with a powerful heroine and a shared background.
But here's where some things fall apart for me. Most of the conflict is internal. that isn't always an issue, but Nate is so damn perfect it made his conflict and struggle a bit ugh. And Hannah struggles to be detached, yet in the end felt much more accessible. My major problem is the heroes. So damn perfect with these really imperfect and struggling women. The don't come across as real, even in their speeches, words, lack of fumbling. They almost don't even make mistakes. If they make mistakes, they offer this perfect apology. The two other heroes set up in this series are even perfect (Evan and Zach), automatically assuming Nate is completely in the wrong and has abused the situation. Which is perfect. Even more perfect given one is Nate's brother.
So you see, what development do these characters and does the relationship have other than falling headlong into love ?
I do believe Talia Hibbert is talented and fresh author-my reviews of the earlier books in this series make no secret of that. The wit is wonderful, the heroines are unapologetic. In fact, I think she took more time to explore intimacy in this one that I have felt were lacking a bit in her other two in a sense. This didn't feel as rushed--until it did. What I need to give her five stars is to see her trust her wonderful characters and writing enough to allow them to make mistakes and have flaw and realize we'll love them more for it. It's weird to say in so many many ways I think this exceeded A Girl Like Her, but I can't even come close to rating it the same. (
