Everyone has secrets. He wants all of hers.

Meet the man next door…

After years of military service, Evan Miller wants a quiet life. The small town of Ravenswood seems perfect—until he stumbles upon a vicious web of lies with his new neighbour at its centre.

Ruth Kabbah is rude, awkward, and—according to everyone in town—bad news. Thing is, no-one will tell Evan why. Does she perform ritual sacrifices? Howl at the moon? Pour the milk before the tea? He has no clue.

But he desperately wants to find out. Because Ruth doesn’t seem evil to him; she seems lonely. And funny, and clumsy, and secretly quite sweet, and really f*%king beautiful…

The more Evan’s isolated, eccentric neighbour pushes him away, the more he wants her. Her—and all her secrets. Because there’s no way a girl like Ruth truly deserves the town’s scorn.

…Is there?

A Girl Like Her is a steamy, small town BWWM romance with an Autistic heroine and an ex-military hero. Warning: this book is 65,000+ words of extreme pleasure and intense romance, ending in a HEA. There is NO cliffhanger and NO cheating. Enjoy responsibly!

The main girl is relatable to myself and the main guy is sweet, caring

March 22, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This bwwm book was cute and different than the ones I've been reading lately. The main girl is relatable to myself and the main guy is sweet, caring, and sounds hot. I love how they get to know each other and find their feelings for one another. The small town feel with everyone knowing their business is funny and makes the story along well. Is also a change from rich CEO guy, Prince, or just rich guy main character. Evan is a hardworking guy, who seems simple but goes through many emotions throughout this book. Ruth is nerdy, cute, and sassy. Totally different from sexy office assistant or entrepreneur kind of character. She's rude, but she means well. I also like how they are neighbors and the main characters back and forth interactions. One of my fave bwwm books to date. I've read almost 70 different kinds in this genre. Stands out from many.

*4.5 stars*

Halfway through A Girl Like Her, I added every single one of Talia Hibbert's books to my to-read list. Every one. And I usually hate M/F contemporary romance.

A Girl Like Her was quirky and fun, but had a very serious edge. I loved the complex dynamics and the autistic spectrum MC, who for once wasn't a savant/scientist/math genius. She was real, and her autism was just a part of what made her who she was.

It's hard for me to explain what made this small-town story stand out, other than the fact that all the parts simply worked together. Just worked really, really well. It also doesn't hurt that the male MC is a total beta-hero, something I always love. We also get a black, plus-sized woman who is described just as she is: body positive and sexually desired/desirable. I found the whole book to be really refreshing- I couldn't get enough.

The pacing was just right. The romance was slow-burn enough for me, and the story chugged along at a perfect pace. Things were revealed at just the right time. I never wanted to stop reading.

The only thing I wished was that the editing was a bit tighter, but it was hard to find fault with this one. Worth every cent I spent and then some.

If Only Real Life Worked Out That Way...

March 27, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I could not put this book down. I’ve always been a sucker for the underdog and it was nice to find that the nice girl finally finished best. Ruth wasn’t your traditional heroine or damsel in distress. She was equal parts strong and vulnerable. Good looking men with hearts of gold are pure fantasy which is the other reason I liked this book so much. He was just too honorable and adorable. By far, he is the perfect balance for Ruth. Can’t wait for Hannah’s Story.

P. S. - In the next book, could you have Daniel meet with and unfortunate accident so Laura can be happy too?

Really good read! Just might experience it all over again before my next class starts. You definitely got this reader hooked. Anxious for the next one in the series!

Can't wait to read more from Talia Hibbert!!

April 26, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I can't remember where exactly I heard about this book, but I'm SO glad I tried it. Before even finishing, I bought two more of the author's other romances. I'm so psyched.

Ruth: Small curvy black woman, autism spectrum, loves comics, is rude and blunt and wonderful
Evan: Large tattooed white man, hardworking, cooks for people, kind and considerate, seeks clear consent

Watching these two fall in love was the CUTEST. Things really heated up a lot more in the last third or so of the book, and by then you've completely fallen in love with their budding relationship. There were a couple mishaps along the way that literally made me laugh out loud. The only complaint I might have is that there's this big mystery around why Ruth is the scandalous pariah of the town and I felt like there was a lot of vague talking around it until the whole story was finally discussed near the end. It's a minor complaint, because I still just couldn't stop reading and wanting to spend time with these characters. I'm going to devour whatever else Talia has written.

I could not love this more!

May 23, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I've been hearing such good things about Talia Hibbert the past couple of months and finally had a chance to try her out. Consider me an instant convert! This book blew me away and then some.

First, I loved that Ruth has autism and that this is #ownvoices. She was a fascinating character and I loved the insights into how her mind worked. I also loved her passion for comics and all of her nerdy characteristics. She was so fierce and it was pure joy to watch her slowly lower her guard around Evan and start to heal from her past.

Second, Evan is a magical unicorn of a man and I wish I could clone him. He's the kind of man who makes meals for his neighbor and his friend and cannot help but be a nurturing caregiver. This can get him into trouble because he's not as good at taking care of himself. But that's where Ruth came in because she was able to look out for him too.

The plot slowly unraveled its revelations about the characters and it was so perfectly timed. The character growth was tremendous as well. I loved how Evan was able to persistently and consistently be there for Ruth, respecting her boundaries but also biding his time to win her trust. Watching Ruth fall for him was everything.

What else can I say? I absolutely loved this book!

There's been so much hype about this book I was almost hesitant to read it because I usually find myself let down by the latest buzzbook. But after reading the blurb and because I'm always a support of AOC I bought this one. And I am so happy I did. I literally binge read it in one sitting cause I didn't want to put my kindle down. Ruth and Evan just worked. I don't really know how else to describe it. The characters were so well written, so perfect for each other, so cute, and funny, and sweet but not in a cheesy way. The supporting characters and subplots were interesting and well written and I'm hoping I get read their stories soon. This is my favorite romance in recent history and I have to say I'm truly impressed. This was my first time reading Talia Hibbert, but I am now definitely a fan.

The romance was so sweet, and it was refreshing to see an autistic girl at the center of a romance story. The other characters were well-developed.
