3.5

 I enjoyed this book but not quite as much as I expected to. I liked the main characters and the situation that got the couple together. And I do love slow burn romance--but this one felt too slow in some places. Not the romance part but the pacing of the book. It felt more dragged out than it needed to be, which meant I didn't feel as close to the characters as I would like.

2.0

I started reading this on vacation and zoomed through the first half of so of the book. Once I got back from vacation, it felt as though the book dragged on. It was interesting, but a lot more emotional and darker than I was expecting. I found it very hard to read and very hard to stay interested in to finish.

Thank you to Avon and NetGalley for the free eARC!

I really enjoyed this book i loved the kinda man that Tobias Rodes is 😍😍😍 i almost died when he called her after she left and asked very concerned where she was going and  then he showed up to where she said she’d be before she hung up on him and told her how much he loved her and how his son told her they were mad but never wanted her to leave and they  begged her to come back Tobias is every women's idea of a good man he was a gentleman he cared for her whereabouts and safety even mad at her he still couldn’t hide any concern he had for her i also loved when he ran to the hiking location she’d be at after she was out to late and he was such a grumpy man and lord have mercy when she got him in the mood ifykyk he was very spicy not insanely though but he was indeed spicy i loved the ending to when Kaden came after Aurora and she picked Thobias Rhodes over Kaden infront of both of them and then at the ending finding out that Tobias Rhodes and Aurora got married had a baby and she was pregnant i loved it so much this book was so good this was the first one i read by this author and i wasn’t disappointed i rated it 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This isn’t a contemporary romance book, but it is - it feels more like a book about life. About coming to the middle of your life, confronting grief, rediscovering who you are, but all with sprinkles of romance throughout. The most loving parts of the book were when the romance and grief intersect.

I have my critiques with this book, like how it felt like a queer plotline for straight people. The angst felt lackluster.

But I enjoyed this, the pros outweighed the cons.

5⭐️ (lengthy review for a lengthy book)!

guys i loved this book so much. and im not one to complain about a slow burn so let’s start with that. i don’t mind lengthy books especially if they’re good, have plot, and characters i love. which is exactly what this book was.

the characters really sold this book for me. aurora, rhodes, and amos became my favorite people. they’re dynamics and how they interacted with eachother was everything my heart needed.

let’s talk about a slow burn done right bro. when they first met the dynamic between rhodes and aurora was my personal favorite a grumpy sunshine. then they became friends and became partners. BRO IT WAS SO GOOD. there’s only one smutt scene btw.

quick mention of the tropes! grumpy x sunshine, small town romance, single dad, slow burn

honorable mentions to clara and yuki they’re my favs bro. i’m just saying clara, yuki, and aurora would’ve been an amazing trio! 

okay one last thing the epilogue was everything i wanted in an epilogue. i’m sorry but i can’t get over how healthy the relationship between rhodes and aurora is. so yeah i love marianna zapata and i’m so in love with my first book written by her <3
