Review below cut

Ahhhh this was phenomenal! I loved this even more than Only Hope and definitely sits firmly as my second fave Ruby Landers book (Ribbonwood’s gonna be pretty hard to beat).

I loved how nuanced Estella Grant is. She’s fierce, dangerous, deadly, sexy. But she’s also compassionate, she has a big heart, she wants to right wrongs and help people. I love the length’s she’s willing to go to protect women who need it. This is how you make me fall in love with a mob boss.

Ellie was a really great character, too. A little naive at times, but never stupid and always headstrong. She went after what she wanted with a commendable ferocity and I loved that about her so much.

I loved how much of this book was about these characters separate from their romance. But oh, their romance. It was exhilarating and soft and spicy and ugh it had my whole heart.

All the side characters in this one are so incredibly well written, too. They all feel like full, complex characters and they were so easy to fall in love with.

And the plot? There is a huge plot playing out in the background of this one and the payoff is so worth the slow burn of it. Absolutely incredibly well crafted.

Graceless by Ruby Landers

Savannah Grace is on top of the world. She’s back to selling out stadium tours and winning Grammys and she’s just arrived home from her honeymoon after marrying the love of her life…nothing could burst this bubble.

Except, of course, her estranged family.

When her younger sister Cassidy shows up on her doorstep, in need of help and thoroughly - inexplicably - pissed off, the whole household gets turned on its end. Where did she spring from and why the heck is she so damn mad?

Savannah’s nanny Lane has grown all the way up, from a cute punk kid to a classic handsome heartbreaker, a long trail of short flings in their wake. They don’t have a second to waste on Cassidy, after all she’s rude, ignorant, hot-tempered and kind of a brat. It’s just…does their boss’s little sister have to be so hot?

Of course things could always get worse. Cassidy has one plan and one plan only: for her sister to turn her into a star.

✨ BOOK REVIEW ✨

Only Hope by Ruby Landers

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

QOTD: Who’s an author you can’t get enough of?

[instagram]

Thank you so much to the author for providing me with an e-ARC! All opinions are my own.

I loved this so much. Ruby Landers writing never fails to make me feel things, to be comforting, to feel absolutely right as soon as I start.

I loved Hope and Alison so much. They’re both loud, confident, opinionated and bossy. Both kind, compassionate and loyal as hell. But they’re both so wildly different from each other, too, in ways I can’t quite articulate.

I loved the slow burn of it all, the way they were both definitely attracted to each other from the start but both settled on being friends, only to proceed to pine for each other for the whole book. It was absolutely wonderful. I was living for it.

I LOVED this messy, close, wonderful friend group. SO messy. But they all loved each other so, so much. I hope we get to learn more about them all in future books 👀
