Hi! Looking for a book similar to Last Light by Kirsten Leigh or The Sharing Knife by Lois Mcmaster Bujold. I really love the gruff\stoic older man who is actually a secret sweetheart/insecure and falls for a younger FL. Would be happy with fantasy elements or without. I did like the apocalypse setting in Last Light. Bonus points if he’s not conventionally attractive too. Would really love a good dynamic between the FL and ML that’s slowburn. Thank you!
