sasha2599's review against another edition
5.0
Author Sarina Bowen has teamed up with Rebecca Yarros and Devney Perry for another exciting series- this one set at Madigan Mountain, a family ski resort. Bowen brings us Ava and Reed's second chance romance in this installment and it's absolutely fantastic. As Ava and Reed are reunited in the current day, interspersed chapters slowly share their history from 10 years ago with us. As angsty as the history was, Bowen always manages to insert hilarity and great side characters into her stories to perfectly balance the read. As a finance major, I really enjoyed the business aspect of the story as Ava and Reed try to sort through Reed's dad's plan to sell the resort. Ava and Reed's chemistry was smoking but their relationship was so much more than that. I am so looking forward to reading books 2 and 3 from Yarros and Perry because this trio of brothers is not to be missed. Narrated by fan favorites Sebastian York and Andi Arndt, the audiobook is simply fabulous.

I really enjoyed this book, it was light with beautiful scenery. Second chance romance without a ton of miscommunication and working through the past is hard to pull off, but this one did.

[4 Stars] A Little Too Late had the potential to be a little Hallmark-y with its premise of the "big-shot Venture Capitalist returns home for the first time in 10 years to save his family's ski resort and runs into his ex-girlfriend (and love of his life) and begins to questions all of this life decisions since they split up." Thankfully, Sarina Bowen navigated the story of Ava and Reed by adding a good (but heart-breaking) backstory with external conflict in the present and realistic decision-making. While I thought the flashbacks contributed to Ava and Reed's past, I also didn't understand why they abruptly ended when they did.
Overall, a good first book in the Madigan Mountain series. On to the next one!
