Handle With Care

I knew Handle With Care was going on my 2026 favorites list before I even hit 20% in the story! It is an incredibly emotional story that was beautifully written with so much care.

Each character in this story captured my heart and drew me in more and more with their back stories. I couldn’t help but feel an emotional and personal connection as each woman began to reveal their own personal troubles and dilemmas. This is so much more than just a hostage story. It’s about finding connection and support in the least likely of places.

Steady, but this is a story you’re going to easily binge. From the beginning, I just had to know how everything plays out because I become so emotionally to each character.
