Note: This review is for an ARC and is my unbiased opinion.
The Madigan Mountain series is off to a strong start with A Little Too Late. I loved this book. It proved once again why Sarina Bowen is one of my favorite, go-to authors. Here is what I loved about this book:
* Sarina Bowen's writing is as amazing as ever.
* The mountain ski resort setting was cool. Living a couple of hours from a few in my state and having a family (not me!) who skis I could understand some of the things that were happening or could possibly happen. I also loved the plot around the selling of the resort.
* Ava and Reed were easy to root for. Their second chance romance was a bit emotional, and I wanted them to get back together. Their reconnecting and new romance made me happy.
* I loved how Ava was written. She was an intelligent woman who knew her heart and what she wanted. I loved how mean she was to Reed in the beginning.
* Reed was smart when it came to business, but he was an idiot when it came to family and love. I loved when he finally figured out what he had been missing out on and what he would be.
* I loved the side characters. Ava's friends were awesome. I hope they will be finding love alongside Reed's brothers in this series. (I haven't read the blurbs for the next two books because I like to go in blind.) I also liked Reed's assistant. His family is still a little bit of a mystery, but their story in interesting.
* This is a second chance romance so there were some flashbacks. I don't like flashbacks, but I didn't hate them here. I actually appreciate the way Bowen did them. It's third person omniscient and made it easy to switch timelines without feeling lost. I also felt like they were needed a little for this particular storyline.
Overall, this was a fantastic start to what is bound to be an amazing series with Rebecca Yarros and Devney Perry adding books two and three. I loved what they did last time they collaborated, and I have a feeling this series is going to be even better. I can't wait to read the next couple of books.
