If you have any hesitation, check the warnings before diving in. □ Safety Squad: There are triggering elements. ⚠️ Warning: This book may cause blushing, squirming, combusting panties, and/or self-care. ✨ Tropes: Alphahole, Enemies-to-Lovers, MINE!, Touch-Her-and-□, I’ve been waiting for this story since I discovered Rory and the brothers’ prequel last year and it was worth the wait! Rory and Tate bring the heat and debauchery like no other duo can. Without bending to their will, she brings them both to their knees and what could be better than a Raven on his knees? Two!

It isn’t as bizarre as it sounds: as a keen falconer, Helen has flown hawks for many years. ![]() Then, curtains drawn, phone unplugged, she set about training her deadly bird of prey in her small Cambridge house. And so, after stuffing her freezer with hawk food (steak, day-old chicks, rabbit legs), the historian and nature writer drove up to Scotland, handed over £800 to a breeder, and headed home with her precious cargo - a baby goshawk named Mabel - in a box on the back seat. Anything to distract you from the white heat of grief.īut Helen Macdonald took this one step further.Ĭonsumed with sadness after her father’s sudden death, she felt compelled to do something extraordinary.
