About this listen

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.

Def one of the better wlw romances, top 5%, deals with modern plot points realistically and not too idealistically but still gets its happy ending. If you are listening for spice that adds to the story, Ruby Landers really delivers in this one generously. Narration is good too, can recommend

Has it all; romance, spice, a great story, character development, a bit of mystery and small town gossip, family, humour, both by blood and found family, and a stunning portrait of sisterhood.

A gem
