Then, Now, Always by Mona Shroff
3.0
Then, Now, Always is a solid debut from Mona Shroff. It’s an emotional second chance romance between Maya, the Indian daughter of a single mother from Queens, and Sam, the half-Indian son of a doctor and a lawyer. They had a summer fling 16 years ago in Maryland before Maya broke it off and returned home. Now her daughter is in trouble and the only person she can turn to for help is Sam, who she hasn’t seen since that summer.
The story alternates between the summer that Maya and Sam met and fell in love and their lives 16 years later, with Maya as a single mother running a bakery in Queens and Sam a corporate lawyer looking to make the leap into politics. I’d recommend this one to someone looking for a closed door romance with more external conflict than internal. There’s a lot going on and the hero and heroine are mainly kept apart by their families rather than any reservations they have about the other.
Thanks to Harlequin and Netgalley for providing a copy for review.
Narration: There’s a single narrator for both POVs, but I enjoyed her accent for Maya.
