So first off: #triggerwarning for sexual abuse - not explicitly depicted, but it's tackled here; stalking's a prominent trope in this one too. I thought they were handled quite well though. I know romance is usually escapist by nature, but I absolutely love it when a romance novel author tackles tough themes and tropes like that, and does it well - all while giving us that uplifting note of hope in the HEA.
