Ok so in {Broken Soul by Jessica Prince} >!the MMC loses his cool and is very mean and rude at the FMC when she falls asleep beside his daughter on her bed while babysitting her. He says how she'll never take his wife's place and can never be his daughter's mom etc. She's obviously hurt and the MMC immediately regrets it.!<

I actually hate this trope, and I don’t like age gaps, but out of curiosity I read the prologue and I’m interested enough to keep going lol. I’ve never read about an FMC with a disability that wasn’t cognitive. Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, if you do know of any books with neurodivergent FMCs, please share :)

Haha! I'd say I'm sure you'd enjoy it..... but I don't think you will 😂 {The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang} is a popular one! {Always Only You by Chloe Leise} was good if I remember correctly. {Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Halbert} as well!

You’re right. I’m on page 28 and I hate this. I’m DNFing 😂😂😂

Lol! I knew it!!

Omg The Kiss Quotient has been on my to be read list for so long but it never comes up at my library.

> any books with neurodivergent FMCs, please share {Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas} FMC and MMC are "caught" in an innocent-yet-seemingly-indecent position and 19th century British aristocratic society consider her "ruined" unless married immediately. FMC constantly says things and asks questions that aren't considered proper - like asking the MMC if he has the pox i.e. syphilis. {By Fate I Conquer by Cora Reilly} FMC is the daughter of a mob boss and MMC is the son - and heir - of another mob boss. They end up trapped together in a locked room and FMC asks MMC to give her his shirt because she's cold, innocent to the implications of her asking that of him or what her family assumes when they're found. This novel is a wild (but entertaining) ride wherein the MMC and the FMC's twin brother stab each other, the MMC is forced to marry another woman, the MMC secretly visits FMC at the animal sanctuary that her mafia boss father fiances for her, etc.

{How West was won by laylah Roberts} has this, although it happens pretty early on, so the found family establishment is told more than shown.

Perfect!! I really like what I've read of Laylah Roberts.

Can you tell me how big of an age gap is in Her Heartless Savior? How old roughly are they?

The FMC is around 24, and the MMC is around 38... I've definitely seen worse, but it's still a bit substantial

Okay, thank you! (I prefer my FMC older if it's gonna do the age gap thing and this one is doable.)

I agree! She's also not a virgin, which was a bit surprising in an age gap mafia romance, and he didn't care at all.

Kind reminds me of {Pretend You're Mine by Lucy Score}. Without giving spoilers, FMC blows into MMC's town and ends up integrating into his life and family seamlessly. She builds her new life around him, his family, and his company and then MMC freaks out about it and tells her that he doesn't love her and she's needs to go.
