three stars! ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ this was literally so adorable

Someone, please book me a trip to Madigan Mountain, STAT! I don’t even ski, but A Little Too Late has me envisioning a vacation on a snowy mountain ski resort, snowboarding down the bunny slope, a big mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows cupped in my hands, and a soak in a glorious hot tub at the end of the day. I feel like I became part of Madigan Mountain, and I’m homesick now.

I was charmed by Reed Madigan and Ava Aicher’s romance, but it may not be for you. Absolutely do not read A Little Too Late if you think you’ll dislike:

A sweet but passionate college romance
A scorned woman with a wicked grudge, 10 years in the making
A second chance romance
Banter
A boutique ski resort
Shady business dealings
Challenging family dynamics

There is so much to love about this book, which kicks off the Madigan Mountain series in a very successful fashion. I’m excited to continue the story with the other Madigan brothers.

Recommended for fans of:
Skiing
Second chance romance
Racoons
Wheeling and dealing

Ava & Reed

Summary: Reed returns home when he finds out his father is set to sell the mountainside ski resort his family has owned for generations. When he arrives, he finds Ava, his college girlfriend, is the assistant manager of the resort. They haven’t seen each other in a decade and have to figure out how to co-exist while the new buyers are in town.

Thoughts: I was kind of bored by this book! I mean, I finished it because I want to read the other two in the series, but I was surprised by how long it took me to read. There wasn’t enough chemistry between the characters. I mean, you could tell they were supposed to like each other but there just wasn’t enough oomph.

Scenes that live rent free in my mind: NONE.

Another awesome read by Sarina Bowen. Always love a second chance romance! Loved the dynamic between Ava & Reed. The last thing Reed was expecting when he went home for the first time in 10 years was to see his ex, Ava. This story had some interesting twists that kept me on my toes! And thank you, Sarina for having Andi Arndt & Sebastian York narrate this story. They were the perfect Ava & Reed.
