Über diesen Titel

GCLS Goldie Award Winner for Best Contemporary Romance 2025

Lara Bennett is world-famous in Ribbonwood, population 907.

She's the woman you don't trust your husband with: a real-life femme fatale. If there's a scandal in town, she's at the center of it, ruining businesses, marriages, and egos everywhere she goes, with her sharp tongue and that body that makes you look twice. Besides… didn't she more or less kill a man?

Ollie Gabrielli left Ribbonwood right after high school, back when Lara was her arch-nemesis. The queen bee and the closeted soccer star: natural enemies. When she comes home for three months, it's to recover from burnout and spend time with her chaotic family, not to reconnect with old classmates. Only somehow, she can't seem to take her eyes off Lara. How did she only get hotter? And is she really everything they say she is?

Sometimes, there's a reason you should never try to go home.

Cool writing — some pretty spicy details in there to 😏
Here and there, a few things in the story felt like they were missing… or maybe that’s just my wishful thinking. 😅
Cons:
Sometimes it was a bit hard to tell who was speaking. The narrator could use a bit more ( practice?!) in changing their voice for each character — it would help a lot with clarity.
Still, I ended up listening to the whole thing in one go. So yeah… it definitely kept me hooked

Karma isn’t always a b!tch.... loved it!

Die ersten 5 Minuten wollte ich direkt abbrechen, das Buch beginnt mit unglaublich misogynen Vorurteilen. Aber keine Sorge, mit denen wird aufgeräumt und am Ende erzählt dieses Buch eine Geschichte die viel mehr als nur Liebe beinhaltet. Es geht um Schwesternschaft, wie falsch es ist Menschen vorzuverurteilen, aber auch TW um sexuelle Übergriffe (hier wird aber nichts weiter beschrieben).

Interessante Twists and turnst

I’m only halfway through this audiobook, but I’m already so impressed that I wanted to leave a review. This is such a refreshing take on a lesbian love story — not dragged out with endless “will they, won’t they,” but a relationship that develops naturally and convincingly. The characters are vivid and relatable, the story is gripping, and I honestly can’t stop listening.

One of the highlights for me is the Australian setting: the accent, the humor, and the atmosphere give it a unique flavor. It reminded me strongly of Deadloch — that brilliant Tasmanian crime series with two female detectives, witty banter, and dark twists. If you loved that show, you’ll likely enjoy the same kind of sharp humor and emotional depth here.

The narrator is phenomenal. She brings so much life and nuance to the story that it feels almost cinematic.

What also stands out is how the book integrates real-life issues — mental health, domestic violence, prejudice in schools, childhood struggles — in a way that feels honest but never heavy-handed. The romance is steamy and believable, but it never overshadows the characters or the plot.

Even without knowing how it ends yet, I can already say this is one of the most engaging and heartfelt romances I’ve listened to in a long time. Highly recommended!
