Enter the male lead: the quintessential "grump." He is often reclusive, brooding, and entirely unprepared for the whirlwind of optimism (or sheer stubbornness) that the heroine brings to his doorstep. Landers excels at building tension through close quarters. The external conflict—the snow, the isolation, the practicalities of survival in a storm—mirrors the internal conflict of two people learning to lower their guards.
"I couldn't put this down. I read the EPUB on my phone during my commute and cried on the train. Ruby Landers writes longing like no one else." – Ribbonwood by Ruby Landers EPUB PDF
